Childhood

Leesa was born to Victor Stanton and Demora Stanton on November 15th 2380 on Terra.

Heir to the Stanton Family fortune she was expected to be a good girl, attend the schools her parents picked for her and marry the man they chose as well.

Against her fathers wishes she joined Starfleet and despite her fathers attempts to use family influence and wealth to have her kicked out she was able to follow her dream of a career in Starfleet.

The Best Education Money Can Buy

Stanton attended Harvard earning a double B.A. in literature and Pre-Warp Terran History. She minored in Stage and Creative Writing while maintaining a GPA of 3.78.

Starfleet Academy

Star Fleet Academy, San Francisco, Earth

Leesa is a pilot in every sense of the word. From Shuttles to Runabouts, Fighters to Starships, and the bigger the better in her mind. With a tendency for performing what others would think of as suicidal maneuvers Leesa has a “feel” for what a craft can do and is able to perform maneuvers that other officers would not even attempt.

While at the Academy, Leesa excelled in her training and despite constantly being in trouble with her instructors and superiors, she consistently outperformed her peers in every way.

In her final test while conning a Nebula Class: training vessel she passed within one meter of the space docks still opening doors, earning her the ire and a deduction in points by her tester. When the instructor refused to believe that she had performed the maneuver on purpose she repeated it on the way back in to prove him wrong. She passed her final with a perfect score…and with a letter of reprimand.

Due to her fathers attempts to have her cashiered and due to his support of the government lead by Admiral Rodrigo Doenitz, Stanton requested to be posted to the 52nd Fleet upon graduation in order to escape her family’s influence and to get back at her father by joining those who opposed his political ally.

Leesa is a fair shot with hand weapons and has a good grasp of propulsion engineering although she hates to get her hands dirty. She holds a black belt in judo and practices regularly.

First Assignment, Communications Relay Station ***.

Communications Relay Station ***

Stanton was assigned to Communications Relay Station *** upon graduation from the Academy. The assignment came as a result of her illicit relationship with the son of Admiral Natalie A. Cole. While the assignment had been intended as a career breaker for her, luck was with her and she was transferred after six months, to take over at the Helm of the newly commissioned USS Champlain.

Second Assignment, USS Champlain NCC-2170C.

USS Champlain

Stanton was assigned to the USS Champlain NCC-2170C on Stardate 2407.03.03 as its Helm Officer.

On Stardate 2407.03.04 she was awarded a Captains Commendation for taking part in the liberation of DS5 and the defense of the USS Champlain from the USS Wyvern.

Mission One: Worlds Once Lost.

On Stardate 2407.03.07 as a member of an away team Stanton was sent to Ivor Prime to help discover the fate of that colony which had been attacked by the Borg thirty years previously. She inadvertently helped discover the underground research complex on Ivor Prime by falling into a hidden airshaft that had been buried under the rubble of the city.

Despite her injuries she continued to assist by helping to prevent the complexes main reactor from overloading and helping to explore the complex before being overcome by her injuries and being sent back to the Champlain for medical attention.

Mission Two: The Hephaestus Principle.

Stanton's tour aboard the Champlain was cut short by an emergency message from her father Victor Stanton, that her mother had become terminally ill. She was released from her duties on the Champlain and sent home on Compassionate Leave as of Stardate: 2407.03.09. As such she left at the very beginning of this mission.

While Stanton's time on board the Champlain was extremely short, it turned out to be a very rough start to her shipboard career. She soon found herself embroiled in an extremely adversarial relationship with the Champlain’s Chief Operations officer, which left her in a precarious position. Her unexpected transfer removed her from the potentially volatile situation but left her shaken; with her confidence gone and wondering if there was a place for her in Starfleet.

Stanton discovered upon her return to Geneva that the entire story of her mother’s illness had been a ruse by her father in order to get her back to Terra and under his control.

Luckily for Leesa her mother, Demora Stanton had learned of the plan just after her husband had implemented it and also learned that Doenitz’s security forces would be on hand to ‘debrief’ Leesa upon her return. Leesa would then be forced to either resign her commission or to take a posting with forces loyal to her fathers political ally, Rodrigo Doenitz.

Upon learning of the plan Demora was able to transfer a large amount of credits from her husbands accounts into her own personal accounts, whereupon she made her way to Beta Quadrant and Starbase Geneva where she was able to intercept her daughter and warn her of the ploy.

Leesa was overjoyed to see her mother alive and well and she resolved to remain in Starfleet and make one more attempt at pursuing a career. As for her mother, Demora is currently using her resources to start her own shipping concern within Beta Quadrant and intends to run a business from Geneva and do what she can to assist the 52nd Fleet in it's fight.

Hobbies

As one might expect Stanton is a voracious reader.

She also has a taste for fine clothing, jewelry, art and men. She plays the piano, paints, writes and enjoys opera.

Medical History

Stardate 2407.03.07 injured during away mission on Ivor Prime. She suffered from three broken ribs, a punctured lung, a ruptured spleen, a concussion with no complications. She recovered fully.

Notes

Leesa is at her happiest when she is driving a starship. She very much lives for the here and now, enjoying life and wringing everything she can from it. With a busy social life she has no intention of settling down for one man and while the day may come when she is ready to settle down. That day is still sometime away.

Awards

On Stardate 2407.03.04 she was awarded a Captains Commendation for taking part in the liberation of DS5 and the defense of the USS Champlain from the USS Wyvern.
