'''Lucas Rider''' is a highly experienced Starfleet officer and the current Commanding Officer of the [[USS Discovery|USS ''Discovery'' (NCC-82006)]]. An experienced officer and a veteran of the [[ma:Dominion_War|Dominion War]], since the end of the it he has served on over twenty different assignments, all with distinction and valour. He is known for his fair and strong leadership and high level of skill in managing large security detachments. He has also worked for Starfleet Intelligence on a range of covert operations.


== History ==
The '''USS ''Pegasus'' (NCC-76992)''' is a [[Galaxy Class|Galaxy-class]] [[United Federation of Planets|Federation]] starship operated by the [[Fourth Fleet]] under the command of [[bfms_char:15470|Captain Jessica Matthews]]. As one of Starfleet’s most versatile and reliable explorers, the ''Pegasus'' has a broad mandate to expand the frontiers of known space. Equipped with a full suite of scientific laboratories and spacious diplomatic amenities, the ''Pegasus'' is often called upon to conduct deep-space research projects or engage in first contact with new species.


=== Early Life ===
== Design & Layout ==
Lucas was born in London on Earth on October 9th, 2350; however, he grew up on the move due to his parents’ jobs as Federation politicians. Lucas rarely had time to make any close friends and as such is extremely close to his older sister Laura and younger brother Alfie. Eventually due to their jobs settling down at this time, Lucas’ parents were able to raise their children back on Earth after what seemed like forever touring various Federation worlds for several years. The Rider family were able to move back to their old home and settle in to a less disruptive lifestyle. As a teenager, Lucas enjoyed many forms of sports and became quite a keen and talented athlete.
The Galaxy-class design dates back to the early 2340s, making it one of the oldest designs still in active service outside of the Federation’s core territory. During its prime, the Galaxy-class was the most powerful starship in the Federation’s fleet. It held records for being the largest, fastest, and most well-equipped for decades, before being surpassed by newer designs.  


=== Starfleet Career ===
The ''Pegasus'' is no exception to the famed Galaxy-class design. It features a three-deck arboretum, several classrooms for children of all ages, and much more. It boasts a suite of recreational facilities for the crew, including several holodecks, gyms, sparring rooms, and a pool. It is home to dozens of families, and remains one of few ships referred to as a city among the stars.


==== Starfleet Academy & Early Career ====
<div class="thumb tleft">
Lucas joined Starfleet after he sister joined two years before him. He spent four years at Starfleet Academy studying security and tactical classes while also taking classes in diplomacy and languages. His instructions noted he showed his parents’ flare of understanding political and diplomatic concepts. Lucas was able to combine many of skills and as such developed a talent for decryption.

<div class="thumbcaption">The bridge of the USS <i>Pegasus</i>.</div>
</div>Receiving several updates over the years, the ''Pegasus'' remains a state of the art explorer. After the Dominion War, it was updated with the latest technology Starfleet offered, including ship-wide holo emitters, medical facilities matching some small starbases, and design language representing Starfleet’s 2380 style. It is home to several different science departments, each with their own dedicated labs and facilities. It also has a contingent of auxiliary craft that can extend the ship’s operating range.


Following his graduation he was assigned as a security officer on board the USS ''Woolwich'' (NCC-61240), a [[Nebula Class|''Nebula-c''lass]] starship. He remained on the ''Woolwich'' until 2375 when the ship participated at the Second Battle of Chin’toka. The ''Woolwich'', like the rest of the allied fleet, was lost. At the time of the ''Woolwich’s'' destruction he had achieved the position as assistant chief security and tactical officer.
In addition to its exploratory role, the ''Pegasus'' operates as a mobile embassy. It has a wide range of amenities capable of hosting virtually any species, and can accommodate hundreds of diplomats at any given time. Despite newer vessels with improved designs and facilities, the Galaxy-class continues to represent a prestigious and iconic time in Federation history.  


After being rescued in an escape pod by a Klingon bird-of-prey on the edge of the Chin’toka system, he was approached by Starfleet Intelligence to join a special operations team. He joined as an undercover agent and it wasn’t long until he participated in a number of covert missions in to Dominion territory. Once the war had ended, he requested a transfer to return to a security and tactical posting. His commanding officer at the time, Captain Amanda Walker, was reluctant to lose one of her finest officers but agreed to the transfer knowing Lucas craved to return to starship duty.
=== The Medical Deck ===
[[File:pegasus-medical.png|thumb|The layout of the ''Pegasus'' Medical Deck.]]A feature unique to the ''Pegasus'', the Medical Deck is a state of the art mobile hospital that rivals some small starbases. Its design was originally intended for all Galaxy-class starships, but was abandoned due to staffing and resource limitations. After the Dominion War, Starfleet saw the need for such a facility and tested it on the ''Pegasus'', since her space frame was not fully constructed. Although the project was deemed too resource-intensive, it continues to exist on the ''Pegasus''.  


For the next ten years Lucas transferred from different ships to help with officer shortages and to share his experiences. At one point he was serving as chief of security on Starbase 17, under Admiral L’Tari. A diplomatic conference was held on the starbase in 2382, which was attacked by a dissident faction of the Jontarian race. Rider, while negotiating for the lives of the hostages, discovered the proper cultural practices which led to him gaining the trust of the dissidents in ending a siege on the starbase’s promenade, ending it without loss of life.
Despite what the name suggests, the Medical Deck does not span an entire deck but rather refers to an isolated suite of medical facilities. The Medical Deck features a three-bed intensive care and quarantine unit, a 14-bed regular patient wing, and two exam rooms. It also has a surgical suite with two beds, a morgue, three medical labs, and a spacious lobby to admit patients and for guests to wait. The only entrance to the Medical Deck is through the lobby on Deck 12.


==== USS ''Collegiate'' (NCC-77007) ====
=== The 47 Club ===
Eventually Rider held the position of Chief Security & Tactical Officer for three years, his longest assignment since the end of the Dominion War. He was assigned on the USS ''Collegiate'' (NCC-77007) in 2384 where he once again served with distinction under Captain Carrie Parkshaw. Parkshaw would come to trust Rider’s judgements and opinions on situations and as such both became close friends. Rider would also become close friends with the ship’s chief flight control officer, whom he would later find out was the youngest brother of the man who would go to marry his sister the following year, one Lieutenant Horatio McCallister. While on the ''Collegiate'', McCallister and Rider shared in their joint interest of orbital skydiving and adventure holo-novels. By the end of the year the two men soon found out they would become family through their siblings.
Although the most prominent gathering location for the crew of a Galaxy-class is the ship’s largest lounge on Deck 10, the ''Pegasus'' has several smaller, more intimate settings. One of these lounges is situated on Deck 4, Section 7, both in the center of the ship and at the furthest forward point on Deck 4. Due to its location, its select guests refer to it as the 47 Club (or 4-7 for short). The 47 Club, while not home to the best view on the ship, gives its guests a full view of the ship’s forward surroundings and overlooks decks five through nine of the saucer section.  


Nevertheless, McCallister soon left the ''Collegiate'' due to personal conflicts with the ship’s new first officer, in due course Rider became to feel the same towards Parkshaw’s first officer and put in for a transfer too. He stated his reason as he was unable to serve under an Executive Officer who was reckless in carrying out an away mission. The away mission in question ended with the death of several of Rider’s security officers that could have been prevented if the first officer had listened to the advice Rider had given him. After the inquest in to the deaths, Parkshaw was left without a first officer and one of the best security chiefs she had served with.  
Restricted to commanders and senior staff, the 47 Club is a common place for senior officers to unwind after a long shift. It is also a space for officers to work quietly and away from the prying eyes of other crew members. It can serve as an informal meeting area for senior staff, a room for entertaining esteemed guests, and a setting for small celebrations.


==== Starfleet Intelligence ====
[[File:pegasus-47-club.jpg|thumb|The 47 Club on the USS ''Pegasus''.]]The lounge is decorated with plant life, wood finishings, and blue and white color accents. At the rear of the lounge is a gold Starfleet emblem with a large wooden frame spanning the majority of the wall. One side of the aft section holds a replicator and shared storage space, the other is the room’s only entrance and exit. At the front of the lounge, sitting directly below the observation windows, is a large console integrated with the wall. This console stores glasses and holds a liquor cabinet used only for special occasions. It is custom for senior officers to contribute at least one bottom to the room’s stock after every mission for their fellow officers to enjoy.  
Rider was approached by Captain Walker to return to Starfleet Intelligence. He agreed and ultimately found himself on Romulus. Rider conducted classified missions on Romulus, partly supporting the Romulan dissident movement from a distance as well as performing reconnaissance on the political structure of the Romulan government. At the end of 2385 he was ordered to return to Starfleet Headquarters to be debriefed and given a new assignment. He was temporally assigned as the Chief Security & Tactical Officer on board the USS ''Indefatigable'' (NCC-69851), as it was sent to become a support ship to Deep Space 10. He later found out that Walker had pulled in some favours to have him assigned as Security Chief at Deep Space 10.


==== Deep Space 10 ====
The 47 Club is not a restaurant; it has no staff and no formal dining areas. Instead, the 4-7 has a single four-seat white sofa, eight white lounge chairs, and a large wooden coffee table. At most, it can seat a total of 12 crew members at a single time. Dim lights separate the room from other common areas on the ship. The majority of the room’s light comes from accents on the stairs and at the floor-level of the room’s aft sections. The darker lighting creates the best setting to help guests look through the large observation windows.  
After several months on Deep Space 10, Starfleet had decided to re-assign Lucas once again. This quick re-assignment was becoming quite frustrating for the security officer. He had just set-up a comprehensive security division on the ''Nor''-class station and was finally enjoying his work. While on Deep Space 10, he and his security department were able to arrest a ring of drug smugglers who were trying to use the station as a staging ground into nearby systems. They also arrested several known con-artists that had tried to use fake identities when they boarded the station. For his excellent leadership on these occasions and others, Lucas was commended and honoured with several awards. Even within a short amount of time, Lucas’ security methods and measures are noted to be extremely effective. That said, it was shock for many on the station when he was ordered to join the crew of the recently refitted [[Galaxy Class|''Galaxy''-class]], USS ''Venture'' (NCC-71854) as its chief security and tactical officer. Lucas had literally less than a week to prepare DS-10’s security department for the change of leadership (particular as three members of his staff were being assigned to ''Venture'' too) and outfit the ''Venture'' to his security standards. However in five days he made the impossible possible and was ready to join the ship. He left behind one of his protégés, Linus Caldwell, to carry on the work as the station’s new security chief. Before their departure Lucas’ new security measures were tested by the ship’s new First Officer and they proved to be completely effective and passed the test with flying colours.


==== USS ''Venture'' (NCC-71584) ====
== History of the USS Pegasus ==
After year under Captain Nathan Hunter on the ''Venture,'' Lucas’ brother-in-law asked him to join him on Starbase 378. He would be a security chief again and assisting in dealing with security matters along the Federation-Cardassian border. It was a decent offer and Lucas was starting to wonder if he truly enjoyed being on a starship. The ''Venture'' had been involved in many missions along the Federation-Romulan border, but most of them had became routine to the crew. There was no variety in anything they did, so the transfer to Starbase 378 was a welcome change.  
The USS ''Pegasus'' finished construction in 2373 during the early stages of the Dominion War. Her first mission in active service saw the destruction of over 2,000 Dominion ships and the launch of four new Galaxy-class vessels, giving the Federation a crucial strategic advantage in the war. As one of the most powerful vessels in the fleet, the ''Pegasus'', and the other eight Galaxy-class vessels in Starfleet, served as front-line battleships and command posts. For the first two years of their service, the ''Pegasus'' and her three sister ships were unlike any other Galaxy-class starship that was revered throughout the Federation; it lacked the science laboratories, families, and other facilities befitting a ship of her class.  


==== Starbase 378 ====
After the Dominion War ended, the ''Pegasus'' returned to the drydock to receive the amenities and scientific facilities required for deep-space exploration. In 2376, the ''Pegasus'' became one of the Federation’s premier explorers and embarked on her first five-year mission. The ''Pegasus'' charted new sectors of space, made first contact with almost a dozen species, and even inducted new worlds into the Federation.  
Joining the starbase in 2387, he started to get a reputation for himself as a strong investigator and trained a number of security officers underneath him. Captain McCallister ended up assigning a group of cadets to Lucas as a result of his hard work. He wanted to give him the chance to share with newer recruits what it meant to be an officer. He was approached to teach at Starfleet Academy, but turned the offer down as he wanted to remain in the field.  


==== Deep Space 12 ====
For the first time since the war, the ''Pegasus'' returned to Earth in 2385 after the Attack on Mars. It was rare for a Galaxy-class vessel to return home; the ships were built for deep-space exploration, and returning to the Federation core symbolized a drastic shift in Starfleet’s priorities. Although the ''Pegasus'' remained in Federation space for several years, it served as a respected home for many in Starfleet Science. The ''Pegasus'' regularly visited Federation member worlds, working closely with civilian scientists and governments to showcase Starfleet’s technical prowess.  
Later on, Lucas would find himself assigned to the [[Nor Class|''Nor''-class]] station Deep Space 12. This assignment became one of his longest and was one he enjoyed the most in a long time.  


==== USS ''Vesta (NCC-82601)'' ====
By 2388, Starfleet prepared the first large-scale refit for the Galaxy-class. In 2391, the ''Pegasus'' spent four years in drydock, receiving a full upgrade of the ship’s tactical and computer systems. The ship relaunched in 2395 under the command of Captain Jessica Matthews. Under Captain Matthews’s command, the ''Pegasus'' returned to deep-space exploration. Even in the late 2390s, serving on a Galaxy-class such as the ''Pegasus'' was a prestigious assignment and the ship was home to some of the most skilled officers in the fleet.
Eventually he decided to spread his wings and ended up applying to become a first officer. Surprised he was accepted and in 2393, he joined Captain Zack Marshall-Bennet on board the [[USS Vesta|USS ''Vesta'']]. Even though Bennet and he had only a year in age difference, he formed a close friendship with his new skipper as he mentored in the role of becoming an effective command level officer. The change in his assignment was a welcome one for Rider. He was a natural leader.


==== USS ''Discovery'' (NCC-82006) ====
===Notable Crew===
When the entire crew in 2399 were assigned to the [[USS Discovery|USS ''Discovery'']], a brand new [[Century Class|''Century''-class]] ship, Bennet questioned Rider why he was remaining with him and not taking on his own captaincy. Bennet felt that Lucas was ready for this, but with the ship heading to the Delta Quadrant, Lucas insisted he remained for at least another year. Only a few days into their mission in the Delta Quadrant, Bennet (who was now a commodore) made Rider the captain of the ''Discovery.'' A decision he made after realising he needed to focus on their mission and the fleet he was now leading. Rider accepted the offer and enjoyed his new command.

* As a Task Force 17 NPC, you are free to use Captain Rider in your own fiction writing or if your game (RPG) visits/meets up with the USS ''Discovery''  during a mission. The information here is meant as a guide for folks to use this character consistently across different stories, but feel free to take some liberties with her exact characterisation. His rank, position, gender, species, and other mundane details shouldn’t be changed, though. Also, don’t kill him; that wouldn’t be nice.
* Rider's approach to leadership isn't typical. Even though he has been assigned to many ships and stations, experience has taught him to get to know everyone under his command. As a result of this, if he isn't on duty on the bridge then he is either on the holodeck or in the crew lounge.
* He has a strong trans-Atlantic accent, every so often his British accent slips through too.
* As someone with extensive knowledge on a variety of ships, Rider is someone that many officers go to for advice or to hear a story from his various assignments.

The USS Pegasus (NCC-76992) is a Galaxy-class Federation starship operated by the Fourth Fleet under the command of Captain Jessica Matthews. As one of Starfleet’s most versatile and reliable explorers, the Pegasus has a broad mandate to expand the frontiers of known space. Equipped with a full suite of scientific laboratories and spacious diplomatic amenities, the Pegasus is often called upon to conduct deep-space research projects or engage in first contact with new species.

Design & Layout

The Galaxy-class design dates back to the early 2340s, making it one of the oldest designs still in active service outside of the Federation’s core territory. During its prime, the Galaxy-class was the most powerful starship in the Federation’s fleet. It held records for being the largest, fastest, and most well-equipped for decades, before being surpassed by newer designs.

The Pegasus is no exception to the famed Galaxy-class design. It features a three-deck arboretum, several classrooms for children of all ages, and much more. It boasts a suite of recreational facilities for the crew, including several holodecks, gyms, sparring rooms, and a pool. It is home to dozens of families, and remains one of few ships referred to as a city among the stars.

Despite newer vessels with improved designs and facilities, the Galaxy-class continues to represent a prestigious and iconic time in Federation history.

The Medical Deck

The layout of the Pegasus Medical Deck.

A feature unique to the Pegasus, the Medical Deck is a state of the art mobile hospital that rivals some small starbases. Its design was originally intended for all Galaxy-class starships, but was abandoned due to staffing and resource limitations. After the Dominion War, Starfleet saw the need for such a facility and tested it on the Pegasus, since her space frame was not fully constructed. Although the project was deemed too resource-intensive, it continues to exist on the Pegasus.

Despite what the name suggests, the Medical Deck does not span an entire deck but rather refers to an isolated suite of medical facilities. The Medical Deck features a three-bed intensive care and quarantine unit, a 14-bed regular patient wing, and two exam rooms. It also has a surgical suite with two beds, a morgue, three medical labs, and a spacious lobby to admit patients and for guests to wait. The only entrance to the Medical Deck is through the lobby on Deck 12.

The 47 Club

Although the most prominent gathering location for the crew of a Galaxy-class is the ship’s largest lounge on Deck 10, the Pegasus has several smaller, more intimate settings. One of these lounges is situated on Deck 4, Section 7, both in the center of the ship and at the furthest forward point on Deck 4. Due to its location, its select guests refer to it as the 47 Club (or 4-7 for short). The 47 Club, while not home to the best view on the ship, gives its guests a full view of the ship’s forward surroundings and overlooks decks five through nine of the saucer section.

Restricted to commanders and senior staff, the 47 Club is a common place for senior officers to unwind after a long shift. It is also a space for officers to work quietly and away from the prying eyes of other crew members. It can serve as an informal meeting area for senior staff, a room for entertaining esteemed guests, and a setting for small celebrations.

The lounge is decorated with plant life, wood finishings, and blue and white color accents. At the rear of the lounge is a gold Starfleet emblem with a large wooden frame spanning the majority of the wall. One side of the aft section holds a replicator and shared storage space, the other is the room’s only entrance and exit. At the front of the lounge, sitting directly below the observation windows, is a large console integrated with the wall. This console stores glasses and holds a liquor cabinet used only for special occasions. It is custom for senior officers to contribute at least one bottom to the room’s stock after every mission for their fellow officers to enjoy.

The 47 Club is not a restaurant; it has no staff and no formal dining areas. Instead, the 4-7 has a single four-seat white sofa, eight white lounge chairs, and a large wooden coffee table. At most, it can seat a total of 12 crew members at a single time. Dim lights separate the room from other common areas on the ship. The majority of the room’s light comes from accents on the stairs and at the floor-level of the room’s aft sections. The darker lighting creates the best setting to help guests look through the large observation windows.
