Background Summary: ====================== Patryk Rychman-Sabre was born on the planet Ryshton only eighteen years after its re-discovery by the Federation. The colony world of Ryshton was founded by the SS RISHTON, a DY-500 class sublight sleeper ship by accident. The RISHTON was part of a muti-ship colony expedition launched shortly after the conclusion of the Third World War. The unfortunate ship became caught in an unstable wormhole and was thrown far off course, ending up in the far-away Sigma Marconious system, which today is located on the northern border of the Krima Expeditionary Force's Area of Operations. It takes over three weeks at warp six to reach Deep Space Thirteen from Ryshton. Ryshton itself is barely habitable, its orbit riding the ragged inner edge of Sigma Marconious's (An F5 Class star) liquid water zone. The planet itself is old and geologically inactive, with only 20% of its surface covered by water. A Great Desert encircles the planet up to thirty-five degrees latitude north and south of the equator, with the only sources of fresh water and arable land being within ten-to-fifteen degrees latitude of the poles. Gravity is 1.3g's, 30% stronger than Terra's. The SS RISHTON found itself deposited in the Sigma Marconious system, its engines damaged and unable to leave the system. The Computer awoke its crew of sleeping colonists, all 2,000 of them, who guided the RISHTON to Sigma Marconius IV, or Ryshton. A malfunction, aggravated by the damaged propulsion systems, caused the hapless ship to crash-land in the desert, only fifteen degrees north of the equator. The crash killed 200 colonists, wounding another 300 that had to be left behind. With over a quarter of their population effectively dead, the remaining 1,500 colonists set out north, carrying whatever emergency supplies that they could. As part of a larger colonization convoy, the RISHTON was specialized as a population transport, carrying none of the agricultural or industrial infrastructure necessary for a successful colony, not that they would have been able to bring it along in the first place. Over 80% of the colonists were veterans who had survived the horrors of the Third World War, and few had the skills to start from scratch. But being from former military backgrounds, the survivors divided themselves up into five groups for what became known as "The March of Death." A full third of those who set out from the RISHTON died over the course of the march. Each group was named after a sword from Terran history: Claymore, Sabre, Katana, Cutlass, and Rapier. Distention and intrigue caused the groups go split and continue on their separate ways two-thirds of their way to habitable territory. Each group began to refer to itself as a 'Clan,' and fifty years after planetfall, after hard and arduous struggles to survive, the Clans began to re-discover each other, and incidences long forgotten ignited the 'Great Feuds of the Sword Clans,' a war that lasted over 200 years and ended with the complete annihilation of Clan Rapier and an alliance between Clans Sabre and Katana that forced the others to end the fighting. A council was formed called the 'League of the Sword Clans,' and has kept the peace to present day. Clan Katana became known for its great advances in science and its excellent theoretical scientists. Clan Sabre earned a reputation for applying Clan Katana's research for military purposes, and is also known for the excellent military officers, tacticians, and senior enlisted men that they produced. Together, they pacified the planet. Clan Claymore has become known for its efficient farmers and the excellent land they occupy. Claymore land is the breadbasket of Ryshton. Clan Cutlass was the first to re-invent the mass production process, and is known for its efficient industrial workers and their mineral wealth, part of their territory among the last of the resource-rich mountain ranges on Ryshton. Ryshton's cities are called Fortresses, a holdover from the Great Feuds, and their long isolation has given their Terran Standard a distinct dialect. Ryshton's inhabitants have lost the sound of the short 'i' (like in Eric, or mike) in their speech. Now all their 'i's are pronounced as long 'i's (like in kite, flight, might). To represent this, the short 'i' is replaced with a 'y' in Ryshton speech. Grammar is also slightly archaic, reminiscent of Victorian Era Britain. Often, Ryshton's educated in the Federation lose the Ryshton dialect, returning only in times of stress, or when on the planet Ryshton itself. Ryshton was re-discovered by the Federation in the year 2352. By that time Ryshton's Sword Clans had crawled back up on the technological ladder, and the science vessel that discovered them had been drawn by the emissions of a civilization close to discovering warp technology. What they discovered surprised them. In the year 2386, when Patryk Rychman-Sabre was sixteen terran years old, the Sword Clans applied for Federation membership, and were accepted into the UFP in 2389, in time for a young Patryk to leave his harsh home planet for Starfleet Academy. At the Academy, he was tempted to follow a career track into the Space Forces as a fighter pilot, but was convinced by a faculty mentor to follow a career in Space Warfare, specifically as a Tactical Officer because of his high tactical test scores. His early years as an officer were successful, advancing relatively quickly from an Ensign Shields Division officer to a Lieutenant (j/g) Tactical officer, to a full Lieutenant as a Combat Information Center officer. From there he received his Masters in Interstellar Relations at Staff and Command College and moved on to a rank of Lieutenant Commander and a position as Executive Officer aboard one of the new Caesar Agustus class heavy cruisers, the USS XERXES. Aboard the XERXES he was awarded with the Silver Star and a promotion to Commander after successfully fending off a Borg Assault after his Captain had been killed in action. The XERXES however, needed an extensive session of repairs and refits after the confrontation, and Rychman-Sabre was assigned a shore rotation to TACFLEET, where he was discovered to have great analytical talent in GOLD's Intelligence section, specifically, the Intentions department. From there his career seemed to stall, his CO fighting to keep Patryk and his talents on his staff. When the Krima Expeditionary Force was organized, Patryk was promoted to Captain and placed in charge of the Intentions intelligence section for Krima. He had expected to remain in TACFLEET until retirement, but then an order to report to CINCGREEN on Starbase DELTA, where his appointment to Commanding Officer of the USS CONSTELLATION came as a pleasant surprise. C. Personality Summary: Patryk Rychman-Sabre is a product of his upbringing. Outwardly he seems distant, but he is very loyal to those both above and below him. Additionally, from his militaristic background in Clan Sabre, he can be a stickler for protocol. Patryk has earned a reputation for quick, analytical thinking from his assignments at TACFLEET, as well as the ability to piece together apparently dis-similar bits of information into a larger picture. ======================================================================= IV.

Medals and Commendations ============================ Star Date 24050424: Awarded Silver Star ======================================================================= V. Skills Profile ================== During Patryk Rychman-Sabre's early career on starship duty, he developed a reputation for his strong, if sometimes unorthodox tactical prowess. When making decisions, he seeks out every piece of information, along with input from his subordinates, he can, then makes his call. Fortunately, he can think quite quickly (For example, he has defeated several Vulcans in timed three-dimensional Chess), but snap decisions are not like him. ======================================================================= VI. Recent Fitness Reports ========================== Lieutenant Commander Rychman-Sabre is an ideal Combat Information Center Officer, capable of absorbing large amounts of information and distilling them into suggestions and information that can spell the difference in Combat. He would make a fine command officer if only he would learn to not seem as standoffish and be more approachable. -- Captain Hadrian Dalmas, CO, USS XERXES Captain Rychman-Sabre has been one of the most capable administrators and intuitive thinkers that Intentions here at TACFLEET has ever seen. He seems rather reserved both on and off duty, but Rychman-Sabre more than makes up for that with his professional skill. His shoes here in TACFLEET will be hard to fill. -- Commodore Elson Hayberry, CO GOLD Intelligence Department, TACFLEET ======================================================================= VIII. Current Recreational Interests ================================== Practicing his Coup de vitesse, for which he currently holds a black belt. Timed Three-dimensional chess, reading intelligence reports, and studying the Military Histories of his home and other worlds. ---------------------------End Bio chip--------------------------------
