Arron Drexel is of English/German decent, born in Munich Germany in the mid 24th century. His father was a career officer in Star Fleet, and recently retired after the Dominion War ended, noting the war had drained his enthusiasm for Star Fleet. Arron had not planned to join Star Fleet, as a lifetime of moving from ship to ship with his family had been difficult on his childhood. Arron briefly pursued a career in politics, but after a brief sexual affair with the Trill ambassador to the Federation became public, the resulting scandal forced Arron away from a career he hadn't really even begun. With few options, Arron opted to enlist in Star Fleet. He graduated with a degree in Command, and was assigned as a helm officer aboard the USS Fairchild. He served aboard the ship for 6 years, before being promoted and reassigned to the USS Washington. The Washington was his home during the Dominion War, and the ship was lost during the surprise offensive by the Dominion during the Battle of Betazed in 2374. Drexel was able to save most of the crew by piloting the burning ship out of the battle and towards a Federation supply line, Drexel was promoted for his heroic actions and assigned as the First Office to Captain Stetson on the USS Bunker Hill. The Bunker Hill was one of the first ships destroyed during the Romulan Invasion, and this time, about a dozen crew were lucky to escape with their lives. Drexel and Stetson were reassigned to the USS Hornet, a ship that had been mothballed for the last 2 years and quickly rushed into service as a result of the Romulan War.
