Character Bio:
Name: Rimmer “Scaler” la’bou
Rank: Captain
Vessel: Defiant class U.S.S. Juggernuaght
Age: 28
Race: human
Place of origan: Lya Station Alpha
Rimmer was born in space…… His father was a Captain on the old T-2 tramp cargo vessels and his mother a chief engineer. By the time he was 20 he knew most Star port masters by their first name and was welcome at their table. His education consisted of standing dead man watch in the engine room while he studied astrometrics. Academics were not always his strong point, but he is a natural navigator. Awkward in polite society, he is at his best with a crew on a ship. At 20 he had had run into trouble with the Orion syndicate and they were looking to put a short end to his young career. An uncle with strings to the admiralty managed to get him a berth in Star Fleet academy.
He is hard, and he is tenacious in achieving his goals, but mostly he is absolutely loyal to his crew, which he protects with his entire being. After eight years in Starfleet he has gained a bit of a reputation as a fixer of problems, and even though the Orion syndicate is still looking to balance the books, it is rumored that from time to time there has been contacts, mostly to this dismay of the OS.
He seems to have a philosophy of whatever it takes to get the job done. Starfleet seems to have a love, hate relationship with priest, however he continues to move up the chain command.
Rimmer got his nick name “Scaler” when he was about 15 and took his first job cleaning the intake filters for refer heat exchangers on the old T-4 class cargo vessels. Scalers were paid piecework in those days and you spent a lot of time in space suits on the outer hull clearing particulates off the filters. Rimmer would tether himself off to the hull and take naps so that he could stay out longer, he gained a reputation for scaling more intake ports than anyone else in the crew, hence the nick name “Scaler”.
By the time he was 17 he was hauling salvaged parts picked up alone the Cardassian border to Dovan and selling them for items needed on Starbase 310, he was quick to learn what was in highest demand.
It was about this time that the Orion Syndicate begin to take notice of him and he found himself hooked into hauling some small “special” cargos throughout free and on occasion the occupied regions of space
Over the next three years his involvement with the Orion can best be described as minimal, then he was pulled into the Orion mix when a friend in trouble ask him for help fulfilling certain obligations he had made to them that involving high risk cargos supposedly a one time haul. Short version…it wasn’t, and his involvement begin to become more complex until at about 20 he went to see his uncle, a long time friend, who had ties with Starfleet admiralty. He struck an agreement with his uncle. Clean up your act, focus on working for a better way and stay in uniform and he would see that the Orion syndicate would leave him alone and find him a berth in the Starfleet academy.
First year as a cadet was a bit rough but he was quick to work out a place for himself.
His reputation still overshadows all that he has done but he has become a first rate officer with a reputation for getting what you need when you need it.
Without question any starship that he lands on is going to have to be an exceptional one.
