History
| Personal History | Jörgen entered Starfleet in 2368 with moderate ambitions and dreams of the experiences he would have traveling the galaxy. Instead, he was assigned to Bajor as a minor diplomat. His future was boosted by his own traits and the assistance of Anna, his wife. They met in a San Franciso café, spent the whole night talking, and grew close over mutual attraction and shared interests in Bajoran art, philosophy, and politics. Her academic background mixed well with his measured approach, but they each went through a rough stretch when they moved to Bajor. The transition was strongly rewarding. Each flourished in their own way, making some name for themselves. After nearly 6 years on Bajor they agreed to head back to Earth. Jörgen's dove into advanced diplomat training while Anna mined Starfleet's archives for her own career. The next step was the hardest: after training Jörgen was assigned to the Klingon delegation. His success meant an extension from two years with the Empire to four years. Although they grew to love the Klingons, each desired a change in surroundings. They were stationed aboard the USS Hinotori along with their two young daughters, Helle and Birte. Now a lieutenant, neither Jörgen nor Anna were prepared when Starfleet suddenly assigned Jörgen to [redacted]. For recognition of great services rendered, Jörgen was promoted to the rank of lieutenant commander and assigned as diplomat-at-large to Bajor. Unrest was growing in certain sectors of the Federation, and Starfleet at first wanted Jörgen back on Earth. Wanting rather to be useful in a variety of ways, he asserted himself to a post on the USS Firebird, which served in many quick-response, support missions. He quickly found himself embroiled in many tense, high stakes situations where he often walked a delicate line between critical contact with often hostile forces and direct insubordination of Starfleet protocols. He sometimes offered the crew analysis of possible motivations and outcomes, while slowly growing fond of the captains' "greatest good" decisions over absolute guidelines. After the ship and crew were remanded back to Starfleet, LC Leed found himself mostly exonerated of disciplinary proceedings. He was considered a steadying hand in some of the volatile junctures of the USS Firebird's missions. As such, he has remained on the Firebird, joined now by his daughter Helle. Jörgen believes he gave his best to both Starfleet and the crew, and honestly believes he has both of their interests in mind. As they answer a call to the wormhole, he is busy compiling data for a possible encounter with hostile forces in the Gamma quadrant. |
