Personal: Just another star dreamer from a small town, Cooney is eager to get in the fight against the dominion. A struggler in the academy in all disciplines except engineering, he is aware that the political situation may be the only reason he graduated at all. He has big ideas like all starfleet academy graduates, but is knows he has a lot to learn. He is delighted at his posting, a good position on what seems to be a pretty unusual ship. � �
