James entered the academy as a forthright, charismatic young man, and used his skill in music to befriend "Nymes and Night" at "[[The Jazz Inn]]", a off campus bar which was frequented by the academy students. Thus started the "Wandering Minstrels", and his friendship with the two young officers. Whilst at the academy James Hudson ("Jaitch") was a member of the Academy's Fencing team, along with [[Lewis Nymes]], and along with the trill, was part of the successful team.

During his years, his passion for ship design increased, and his plans for a new shuttle - the [[Topaz Class Shuttlecraft|Topaz]]-type, an improvement on the Type IX shuttle - were viewed by his sponsor and taken up for consideration. A prototype shuttle was built, and assigned to [[Lewis Nymes]] when he was assigned to the [[USS Dennison]]. It is now part of that ship's shuttle complement.

After graduation, he was given his leave, and visited his parents on the Lunar Colony before going to his first assignment as a ship designer at the 52nd's spacedocks.
