Background

Richard came from a strong and strict house hold, on earth in Boston. His father had informed Richard at the age of 15 that he was going to follow family tradition. Upon hearing this he looked for an escape. The escape came in 2361 when Richard enrolled in the Academy. Once there he did good in athletics, drilling, and tactics. His only downfall was Engineering.

At the Academy he fell in love for the first time, but it was not just a fellow cadet, but the Commandant's daughter. In Richard's Junior year the affair was discovered and she dropped out. Devastated in 2364 he dropped out as well and enlisted in Starfleet as Petty Officer.

Richard would served his first two years with then Lt.Commander Sisko, on the Saratoga. The two would become friends. Wallace's first taste of battle was at Wolf 359. After the order to abandon ship was given, and after sustaining a shoulder wound. Petty Officer Wallace helped four badly injured crewmates to a shuttle pod. For this he was awarded a Commendation, and promotion to Chief. Richard would served for the next 7 years as a Security officer on Deep Space 4. On this assignment he learned a lot on how stations run.

The year was 2373 and the Dominion War gave Richard the edge he needed. He was assigned on the USS Justifiable as 2nd tactical officer. During the retaking of DS9 Wallace was credited with helping destroy 3 Galor class warships, and 4 Jem'Hadar crusiers. In 2374 Senior Chief Wallace was assigned to a Special Landing force where his actions are sealed by Starfleet Command. After the war Richard was assigned to the Academy to help train cadets.

In 2382 he was given a commission as Ensign and assigned as Tatical officer onboard the Ilion. After 4 months into the Ilion's first and last mission, Ensign Wallace was captured along with 5 other crewmated by Kelvans. An anomaly brought the captured Ilion crew to the Gamma Quadrant, where they were saved by the USS Virgo. On the Virgo Richard was promoted to Lt.JG and Chief Tactical officer. Then promoted to full Lieutenant for actions classified by Star Fleet command.

In late 2383 Wallace took a four month journey to get back to the Alpha Quadrent on a transwarp shuttle. He was suposed to be a part of the staff of Command, when Commander Gavin Jeffreys requested Wallace as an Operations officer. Supply Base 901 became Richard's first assignment as a command level officer. Upon the disaperance of Commander Jeffreys, Admrial McCaffee gave Lt.Commander Wallace a chance he wouldn't of ever had before. To command a Space Station.

In 2384 Captain Richard Wallace initialized first known contact with species G'Kar, a once oppressed race. Later that year he help assure the G'Kar admission into the Federation.

In September 2384, Commodore Richard Wallace was reassigned to command the USS Hornet, to explore the area that was captured after the Mulluran War. Richard was dissappointed in his transfer at first but accepted it and is now looking forward to a chance to make history, and have it not be war history. Shortly after taking Command of the USS Hornet, Commodore Wallace was captured by a group of deceiving aliens and handed over to a group of Mulluran Freedom Fighters. Eventually, Wallace was released after nearly two months captivity.

In January of 2385, Richard was promoted to Rear Admiral, the highest rank an enlisted person has every achieved since Earth's Third World War. Star Fleet Command placed him in charge of Strategic Operations, where he moved back to Starbase 901 in March, to witness firsthand and gather information about the Mullurans' new arms and personnel buildup.

Richard Wallace, has served in more combat then any Admiral currently serving in Command. He hardly speaks of his days carrying a phaser rifle, but he looks back on it very often to answer questions, which he already knows the answer to. Since taking up position at SB901 Admiral Wallace has been not too popular with the Federation Senate Committee. He's actually been told to show up for a hearing on several occasions and has never bother to attend. However, Admiral Ross and Admiral Pike have stated that they will stand behind his decisions, and trust his judgment. Of course that doesn't mean he does not get in hot water.

Personality

He strongly believes in leading by example, not from the rear. This comes from his experience, where has seen many foul ups over the years. This is what makes Richard Wallace a formidable officer.

Though Richard is quite a bit of a celebrity in the Federation, he takes his place in history with a great deal of modesty. He also knows when the battle breaks out he'll have a much greater responsibility than his reputation to uphold to.
