There are times he comes off as being very serious about his work and there have been times when he has seemed aloof. But usually, he’s approachable and calm in a crisis, though he may not be on the inside. He’s in control of his emotions most of the time. He’s also very devoted to his significant other, Tara Carmichael and their daughter Zoe. Having them in his life has given him a sense of completion he hasn’t had before. It has also helped urge him into repairing fences with family.

Background

Jayson Sandoval was born in 2350 on Basilan Island, Philippines, Earth. His early life and education took place in Manila; it was a good childhood with many fond memories. But after a semester at the University of the Philippines, he decided academic life wasn't for him and he enlisted in Starfleet in 2369, against the wish of his parents. Both strenuously objected over his choice and it caused a deep rift between him and them, though he continued to keep in contact, especially with his sisters.

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 increased to include more traditional law-enforcement roles and training of new Security officers, including Tara Carmichael, who was eventually to take on the role of Chief of Station Security.

Before meeting her, he had been with a few other women, but none that had evoked as much feeling as Tara. It was also a surprise to find that the child she carried matched his DNA. Having this revelation caused them both to get to know one another better than they had ever dreamed and they found that their connection was beyond that of magnetism, or of Tara trying to find a replacement for the man she had lost in her own universe. There was a genuine interest and connection. They both fostered it and soon their relationship grew into one of very intense proportions. They were already living together by the time Zoe Elizabeth was born on February 8, 2385.

As the need for a Station that size in the Serenity System came into question after the Mulluran war came to an end, and it was decided the station would be dismantled and moved; Jayson and Tara took time to examine what they wanted for themselves and their daughter. After much consideration, they both decided to take positions on the Serenity City Police Force, foregoing Starfleet for the time being for a planet-side life for their daughter.
