Commodore Aben Ch'Thobar is the current commanding officer of Deep Space 47 within the Thomar Expanse. His early career within Starfleet started in the sciences before a change to the command division placing him in command of a series of science vessels responsible for a series of discoveries and two separate first-contact situations. After years of commanding starships, most recently the USS Vesher Sh'Trak, Ch'Thobar accepted command of Deep Space 47, a chance to sit at the gateway of new discoveries.

Personal and Starfleet History

Flag Officer (2400-Present)

Having resisted promotion to flag rank for the better part of a decade and a half, Ch'Thobar finally conceded the point in 2400 due to the combined efforts of Command and his wife, who wanted her husband to slow down in his later years.

Deep Space 47 (2400-Present)

While accepting a flag posting removed Ch'Thobar from the centre seat of his own starship command, he only accepted on the condition of taking command of Fourth Fleet's newest starbase, Deep Space 47. His reasoning was rather unsubtle but acceptable to all parties - while he might not be actively exploring himself, he was positioned to sit at the gate way between the Federation and the Thomar Expanse, giving him a chance to glance over all discoveries and live vicariously through personal debriefing returning science crews.

Commodore Aben Ch'Thobar In Play

• Commodore Aben Ch'Thobar is a Task Force 47 NPC, in command of Deep Space 47 and its immediate surrounds. He can be used in your game when a command-level officer may be needed.
• The information in this bio is a rough guide only and not completely detailed to allow for vagaries to exist and room for writers to manoeuvre.
• Ch'Thobar is a level-headed command officer with a keen tactical sense despite having risen through Starfleet's Science divisions. Despite having started as a scientist though, he is not afraid to stand his ground and resist force when required.
• He prefers to try and make himself an approachable individual but has little tolerance for hypocrisy, laziness or reckless behaviour. His demeanour can go from gentle commander to stereotypical argumentative Andorian at the drop of hat despite years of self-improvement.
• Typically Ch'Thobar can be located in Station Ops, or his office. Failing that, he commonly likes to tour DS47's science labs in order to live vicariously through the work that passes through his station. A generalist, he holds no particular field of speciality and a decent grasp of most of the sciences.
• Ch'Thobar speaks in a direct and pointed manner that some might interpret as rude, but is merely a result of years working with others who valued their time as much as he values his own. He prefers to get to the point so that efforts can be made to move on to the next.
