Samuel Somers father of Alexandria Somers was once a serving member of the Starfleet Marine Corps, but took optional retirement because they wanted to put him behind a desk as a career officer he did not like that idea, so he became a Mid-level diplomat to the Klingon Empire. The respect the Somers name got from the Klingons was due to Sam's heroics during the Dominion War when he and his squad came to the aid of a stranded Klingon parental Unit consisting of the old, weak and informed as well as young children too young to pick up a weapon on one of the few Klingon outer colony worlds to be invaded by the Dominion. It helped the Starfleet Officers a lot as the enemy were numerous and they managed to save all the people there, especially as some turned out to be members of the House of Martok and a couple of other High Council member families. It was this act that garnered the Somers family name with glory and honour, which exists to this day and all Klingons are told the story of a Starfleet Unit rescuing those who could not fight, while the same level of honour given to the family of Somers could not be the same level as that given to a Klingon House, the human family name became respected.
Samuel's favourite pastimes is listening to Vintage music such as Classical and Jazz and tennis.
Jennifer Lynne Griffiths is another diplomat in the family, unlike her husband, she is a higher-level diplomat and is based on Earth and attended Federation Council sessions. Jennifer was once a Fleet Officer attaining the rank of full Commander in the Starfleet Diplomatic Corpse, she retired from active service shortly after she found out she was pregnant with her daughter Alexandria and after a short time, she was offered a spot on the Federation Diplomatic Corpse member list. She started as a diplomatic aide and quickly rose the ladder. Her eldest daughter Alexandria may get her Red hair from both her parents who have darker red than their daughters and Alexandria may get her toughness from her father, but her etiquette training and all other aspects of a Diplomatic family training were given to her by Jennifer. She wanted her eldest to follow her into the Diplomatic arm of the Federation, but her eldest elected to serve on the frontlines, still, Jennifer was proud of her daughter's accomplishments and supported her in what she was doing.
Jennifer's favourite Pastimes are Jazz, vintage Rock and Pop, mountain climbing and singing.
The family home is situated on Fifteen Acres of South Wales Countryside, the estate has been in her family for generations, if Starfleet still used human currency then the Somers family would be considered rich and powerful, but in the 24th Century, it was a sign that the family had influence and many a function was held there. Out the back, it has a heated swimming pool two tennis courts and an old-fashioned slug thrower rifle range as Samuel and his eldest children liked firing vintage weapons. There is also a studio for Jennifer to practice her singing. The Estate staff are all holographic, except for the main house staff, all of which are organic Federation members and they either cook, clean or keep the house tidy and a few are butlers. The humanoid staff are considered part of the family and are treated with respect and fairly, but the family dress themselves and see to their own hygiene.
Alexandria at a section the rear of her family estate, a white dress is what she changed into after her wedding to Paul Sharpe the light blue one at one of the many diplomatic functions she was forced to attend while on furlough. This is one of the reasons why she has never gone home too much when she has shore Leave, she hates diplomatic functions and what they entail. The only time she enjoyed a function was on her wedding day.
Personal History
Alexandria Somers was born in the Eurasian Territories on Earth on Stardate 6th August 2355, she has been a lifelong friend of Paul Sharpe and has seen his softer more human side. She excelled at basic training and passed her specialist training in record time, her base point average would have gotten her a commission to 2nd Lt, but she was not interested in a commission so she concentrated on Recon and Demolitions. In time she found that she was good at it, on her first mission, she was assigned to a more experienced Infiltration Team, this team had the job of taking out an Orion Syndicate Assassin, who had killed some important Federation Citizens. The mission was classed under the Plausible Deniability clause, this meant if they failed the team should they survive would be on their own. As it was the job was successful, Alexandria created and planted a focused explosive to the underside of the Assassin's bed, the results were broken windows and a smear of DNA matter spread through the destroyed room, the Assassin was one of the Syndicate's best, his death shook them as they never found out who had done it. As a child, Alexandria trained with Klingon weapons on Qo'noS and while not a Master level she is proficient with all Klingon weapons.

The team upon return to Federation Space was split up, and Alexandria found herself posted to Betazed, she never saw her teammates again, eventually, she ended up on the USS Thunderchild on Assignment as the Liaison between Starfleet Security and the Marines. She wore a standard SFMC uniform, but she had a shoulder patch that other marines do not have, it was an SSO SFMC Division Patch, which she had to remove when she was posted to the USS Excalibur, she now wears a Standard Starfleet Uniform with Green shirt.
After her stint in Special Operations, she joined her Cousin's regiment, the 95th Rifles SFMC, where she earned her white cord of courage, which she proudly wears at the base of her shoulders on her duty uniform and when in Dress Uniform a white cord on her uniform upper left arm sleeve. While she has transferred from the Rifle regiment, through postings, like all earned awards, she is entitled to wear the white cord. Even though outside of the Rifles the decoration is a passing idle curiosity. Now she does standard SFMC duties but she will always remember her time in the Rifles as she looks forward to the future.
2393 onwards
After returning to earth Alexandria went back to Starfleet Academy to do some advanced bridge commanders course, she passed the written and was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel and when it came that the USS Tomcat needed backup ship-wise she was given temporary command of the USS Avant-Garde a Sovereign-class ship for the mission, this was to be her practical exam as the ships current Captain would take the position of First Officer and assess her Command style and how she did things, but the practical came in two parts, the first was combat which she passed when not a shot was fired, the other would be a diplomatic test, this one was yet to be given. After the incident in the Thorion system, Alex returned to the Academy to study for the next practical, but unlike the Thorion system, this one would be done in the simulator a modified version of the Kobayashi Maru, she had passed the original version, this one would be a tough diplomatic negotiation test.
She has also been sovereign a lot for Fleet Captain Somers when she was kidnapped and as Alex had prior experience at Command she was detached to the Tomcat for the duration.
Brief Division Description
The Starfleet Special Operations are an Elite section of the Starfleet Marine Corps, they are trained to do things and go places that normal Starfleet Marines cannot do, like all other personnel they can be re-assigned, to any Outpost or ship. This is standard, but usually, when a Top Secret Mission goes wrong, the Marines involved get moved to Regular Starfleet Marines, whether if it's their fault or not, but those Marines are still bound by the Confidentiality of their Spec Ops Past. Alexandria knows certain things that other Regular Senior Starfleet Officers do not, and this was only because she was once a Spec Ops Operative herself. Only the head of the Starfleet Marines can divulge what all Spec Ops Marines know.
Now Alex is a Regular Line Marine Officer, but she still has her training....
Fatal Mission Outline
While she was a Marine, she and a Starfleet Special Operations team were sent on a mission to destroy a facility that was genetically breeding enhanced Telepaths, one of the key sides to this was the Reman's. The start of the mission and execution was a textbook, but as things usually happen, the exit from the doomed base went south. One of the Genetically Enhanced Telepaths got loose and scrambled one of the Marine's minds, this Marine was a close friend of Alex, she had fallen victim and was dead before she hit the ground. Alex broke down and tried to wake her, if not for an Andorian teammate dragging her away, all would have been captured. The enhanced Telepath was destroyed along with the facility, on the return to Federation space Alex was quiet and had withdrawn into herself.
After her debriefing, she was assigned to the USS Thunderchild, she had been classed unfit for the work she normally did due to the botched black Ops mission, so she became the Marine Liasion to the Security on a Starship, this is where her real story begins......... Flight Skills While being able to fly a Maul fighter, Alexandria's main flight qualifications lay in Shuttles, any shuttles currently used by Starfleet can fly without problem. She prefers shuttles to a fighter, so she is never quick to volunteer for Fighter duty.
Past Events:
While on shore leave and visiting her family estate Alexandria had a dream, it was one all her family had at a crucial point in their life. It told them when they would die, the rarer form also said how. Alex's one was a rare one and it affected her more than she realised and she went into a dark depression because of it.
Her Partner Paul Sharpe gave her a wake-up call and went to see a Counsellor for her issues. while she knew that there would likely be more visits to the Counsellor but in the wake of her first visit she visited the ship's barber and got her hair cut.
Events Mid 2392:
During her and her partner Paul Sharpe's shore leave she and a close friend got into a bar fight in a Klingon bar on earth, while the owner did not press charges and the losing Klingons also not pressing charges, Alexandria was still a Starfleet Officer and while the owner was compensated handsomely for the damaged caused by Alex and a friend, they both knew there would be fallout. While Sharpe intervened for his partner and friend, he could do no more, Alex still got punished and the friend was asked politely to leave the service, both would have gotten a more severe punishment, but due to their connection the friend got demobbed and Alex got the type of punishment that was unique to her.
As she was a combat vet and somewhat gung-ho, she was placed on duties that mostly involved dress uniform functions and as Aide to a Vulcan Ambassador, where she had to sit through meetings and in the Federation Council assemblage when required, at first she found this interesting, then after two full council sessions she found it tedious. While she did not fully trust the Starfleet Intelligence Division, she had begun to come to terms with the past and chafed a little when she was assigned as Aide to an SFI Admiral; if it was not for her new duty she would have been bored silly.
Then she was introduced to a side of SFI that she did not know as a Marine Corporal all those years ago, over the following days and weeks she began to revise her opinion of SFI and came to appreciate that they were, to use an old human term 'Only Human' but these days, not all were human, but she realized that SFI was not infallible, so finally she came to terms and to peace with SFI and made some friends.
Weapons of Choice
After finding out that Starfleet had recalled what few TR-116 rifles that were already in service back in favour of the Regenerative Phaser rifle, Alex was a little upset as she had her eye on one for a long time. So she looked into the history archives of the British Army from 1996 to 2050 and she came across the AWM 338 Sniper rifle, which was designated the L115A3 by the British Army of the time. obtaining the specs for both weapon, magazine and ammunition and using the latest weaponry-grade materials for making Phaser rifles she replicated a fully working rifle and practised with it on the range so she could get used to the weapon. She now only uses such weapons on ground-based missions, while her main profession is Recon she is also an expert sniper and uses the rifle's scope as to check her long-range objectives, usually minus the rifle.

Mark XIX Desert Eagle Working Replicas Alex has two of these only both versions are shown
The Mk 19 Desert Eagle was one of the more powerful pistol weapons created, it had a strong recoil and a .357 bullet, this version of the Desert Eagle that Alex uses is a modified pistol its recoil has been dampened down by using the latest suppression modifications that are known in Starfleet, but they still have a hard recoil. These are made with modern materials, which are both extremely strong and lightweight, so while the specs are standard working parts are made from the latest Starfleet metals. This MK 19 has an Extended Mag, the only advantage this gives is more ammunition can be loaded into the pistol. Currently, Alex uses two of these; the last time they were ever used was during the Bluegill Invasion on Duronis II, since then they have been framed and now act as ornaments, but they are still serviceable even though they are no longer used.

After a short First Officer post on the USS Powell Alexandria returned to Earth to do some advanced Command Courses as she found she quite liked Command and the way her cousin Jasmine Lynne Somers was going with her rank she would eventually be too high to command a Starship like an Akira Class, so with her sights set on commanding the USS Tomcat on the day she entered the Academies Advanced Command Course ready for when that day came. As the days turned into weeks and weeks into months Alex finally completed her Command Course and graduated a Lieutenant Colonel, now she had the terrible job of sitting behind a desk learning the Real Life part of Senior Command, she was told all new people of her rank who were marines had to do this as if they were to command a Starship, then they would need to know who other duties a ship commander would be required to do.
