Brandy Shea
Brandy Shea is a Starfleet Marine Corps pilot, who served during the Cardassian - Federation war with Chance Raschen. Later they served together during the Federation Civil War.
Brandy was a part of the team under Raschen that seized control of the USS Dennison on 2307 under orders from Starfleet Command then under the control of Admiral Doenitz.
Raschen along with Shae, defected to the cause of the 52nd Fleet, releasing the Dennison as a sign of good faith.
After the end of the federation civil War, Shae joint the crew of the SS Tranquility and was part of a special courier mission under the auspices of Chance Raschen at the behest of Starfleet Command.
In 2414, Shae joined the crew of the USS Rosenante when Raschen and his crew were asked to aid that ship and the USS Boudicca in a joint mission against the Borg.
They traveled to the Dovek System where they encountered a Borg Tactical Cube and a Borg Pyramid.
When Federation Sensor Probes were unable to collect adequate information to determine the nature of the borg activities, Shae and others volunteered to take the Lorimar Class Runabout Lorimar to manually collect data.
During that mission, the small vessel was tractored by the Borg Pyramid. Only fast thinking by Commander T'Larah Sullivan using the Sullivan Gambit saved the ship from certain assimilation.
As it was however, the smaller vessel was badly damaged and Shae was forced to crash land the vessel on the surface of Dovek II a mere four kilometers from the Tkon Nanosphere, which was the object of the Borg's activities there.
Brandy Shea was first seen in the joint USS Rosenante and USS Boudicca mission Once More Into The Breach
