Background

Jayson Sandoval was born in 2350 on Basilan Island, Phillipines, Earth. His early education took place in Manila; after a semester at the University of the Phillipines, he decided academic life wasn't for him and enlisted in Starfleet in 2369.

Jayson joined Starfleet in a Security billet at the beginnings of the Dominion War; while he harbored sympathies toward the Maquis, he remained loyal to the Federation and to Starfleet. He served aboard the USS Yamato and the USS Voorhees during the war with distinction. He was aboard the Voorhees in 2377 when the Orion Anti-Piracy campaign began. The captain of the Voorhees was accepting bribes from various pirate captains in exchange for safe passage. Jayson was among those who had discovered the scheme and helped relieve the captain of command under questionable circumstances. While the captain of the Voorhees was clearly guilty and those involved in his removal were not charged with mutiny, Jayson nonetheless made powerful enemies within Starfleet and his career stagnated from that point onward.

After the end of the anti-piracy campaign, Jayson found himself reassigned to a dilapidated outpost at the very edge of Federation space: Supply Base 901. Though his enemies in high places remain, he has since cultivated friends who are equally powerful and has managed to salvage his career. With the upgrade of the outpost to a full-fledged Starbase, Jayson's duties have increased to include more traditional law-enforcement roles and training of new Security officers, including Tara Carmichael, his lover and onetime protegee who now serves as Chief of Station Security.
