History and Education
Family and Background
Born and raised on Utopia Planitia where his parents both worked as engineers, Pete grew up with theory and practical engineering all around him. His parents are both now retired, but retain regular speaking engagements at Utopia Planitia with the Academy Satelite Program for engineering cadets. Pete is married to Collette Holland (nee Andrews) and they have 4 children, Stefan (13), Andre (11), Nadia (9) and Artemis (4). His family is stationed on Geneva where Collette works as a medical researcher.
Colette
Stationed at Geneva long-term, Colette is a theoretical engineer. She has been primary care-giver of the children, but tries her best to involve Peter whenever possible. They both have been trying for years to get an assignment together, but have been unsuccessful.
Stefan
Stefan is the eldest child, and is currently 13 years of age. He is a typical teenager who is frustrated with the distance between himself and his father. Stefan enjoys a Judo program and keeps himself occupied with that when not in school.
Andre
Andre is 11 years old and is alone among his siblings to choose to follow his father's penchant for all things Klingon. He acts out at school in attempts to act Klingon, but is learning when it is honourable to fight. His Klingon name is Ku'taH, son of Mok'taH.
Nadia
Nadia is an artist, her father tries to send her art boxes so that she can continue to flourish in this regard. She is a happy 9 year old.
Artemis
The youngest Holland child, Arty was a bit of a surprise to the family (arriving 5 years after the other three children). He is currently taking swimming lessons and seems to be a bright, spunky little boy.
Education
Klingon Training Academy (Qo'nos)
Starfleet Academy - OPS and Engineering
Personal History
Pre-Starfleet History
Pete spent three years on Qo'nos after high school, having made friends with the Klingon ambassador's son Kur'leck. He trained with the Klingon youth and was seen as a worthy opponent despite being human, and rather puny at that. At the end of his time there, Pete was honoured by Ambassador Me'rack and given a place in the Ambassador's House. To the Klingons, he is known as Mok'taH of the House of Me'rack.
Starfleet History
Pete graduated from Starfleet Academy at the age of 26 and was stationed aboard the USS Thunderchild for a time before transfering to Deep Space 15. He has risen steadily through the ranks due to his solid abilities as an engineer and his unflappable nature in a fight.
Medical History
Pete sustained several broken bones during his time on Qo'nos and retains a scar (left shoulder) from a klingon painstick, but otherwise has had no major health issues.
