Although initially trained as a counsellor, he transitioned to the command track early in his career. Corbin is a highly skilled and professional individual who holds his crew to the highest standards. He is a well-rounded officer with exceptional diplomatic abilities. His also known to have some obsessions, this includes ensuring that every room he enters he inspects it to ensure it is kept clean and that everyone serving is looking smart and presentable. He is known to send anyone back to their quarters to get themselves sorted if they are not looking the "''part''."
The USS ''Mackenzie'' began construction in February of 2392 and was completed in December of 2394. Her shakedown cruise was on January 15th, 2395 and she was certified a month later on February 15th, 2395. The USS ''Mackenzie'' was assigned to [[Task Force 47]] in October 2400 and operated in the [[Thomar Expanse]]. In February 2400 she is assigned to [[Task Force 72|Task Force 72.]]


He takes great pride in being a father to two children, both of whom are currently in their early 20s and undergoing training to become esteemed Starfleet officers. He is known to boast about them and their accomplishments. Corbin's wife, who holds a prominent position as the head of one of Betazed's distinguished houses, resides on Betazed. When she visits, he goes over the top in providing the VIP treatment to her and the rest of their family.  
==== Naming ====
She is named after [[wikipedia:Alexander_Mackenzie_(explorer)|'''Sir Alexander Mackenzie''']], a Scottish explorer and fur trader known for accomplishing the first crossing of North America in 1793.  


=== Recent Events ===
==== Operational History ====
Corbin's last command was the [[USS Shackleton (NCC-79321)|USS ''Shackleton'' (NCC-79321)]], which he commanded for one year while the ship was in the [[Delta Quadrant]]. In 2400, Starfleet offered him the ''Columbia''. Though he once served on a [[Sovereign Class|''Sovereign''-class]] explorer and an [[Obena Class|''Obena''-class]] ship, he has never commanded a ship as big as the ''Columbia''.


During Frontier Day, Corbin was home on Betazed while the ship was undergoing minor maintenance at [[Starbase Bravo]]. As a result, Corbin and the crew of the ''Columbia'' avoided some of the disaster inflicted on other Starfleet ships.

'''Elizabeth "Liz" Nelson''' is a Starfleet officer who currently serves as the Executive Officer on the USS ''Columbia''. She originally trained as an engineer before she joined the command division.   


=== Personality ===
==== Battle Bridge / Secondary Bridge ====
At first glance, Liz appears to be a friendly and polite person while also having a wicked sense of humour. She enjoys new adventures and challenges and is known to come out with phrases like 'such fun' or 'this is delightful'. She is, in reality, an extremely ruthless officer who does not hesitate to put anyone down in a blunt manner if they have done something wrong. Her sarcasm is well-known among the crew, especially when someone tries to teach her something new that is technical. Being a former engineer, and one of the best in the fleet, she regularly keeps up with the latest research and application of technology. Elizabeth is a very intelligent woman.

The ''Mackenzie'''s battle bridge was designed to function as a full bridge and as such was modelled in a smaller ship's command center.


Elizabeth is an old Academy friend of Captain Corbin, and the two have known each other for a very long time. They are godparents to each other's children and would do anything to protect each other. He refers to her as Liz while she calls him Rome in private.

She is outspoken, unhinged, and unapologetic in everything she does.  She came with the ''Mackenzie'' when Harris took command.


She has many interests, including cooking, playing poker and riding horses. Alongside this, she has a vast collection of paintings and sculptures. A keen musician, when off duty, she is normally found in Ten Forward playing the piano or saxophone.
