Personal History		Born on Trill in 2340 to a rich merchant father and a leading politician for a mother, Ajon Mox moved to the edge of the Romulan Neutral Zone with his father when his parents separated in 2350. As his father did a great deal of business with many of the Romulan Empire's private citizens, a privilege that, at the time, required a formal award granted a Federation member world, the young Trill became familiar with their customs, language and mind-set. Against his father's wishes, Ajon joined Starfleet, intending to become a science officer aboard a deep space explorer. His training at the Academy went uneventfully and he graduated third in his class. He was quickly posted to the USS Horatio. Several years later, however, when the threat of the Romulan Star Empire re-emerged, he was approached by a member of the Federation's secretive Starfleet Intelligence service. A number of Starfleet personnel had been identified as potential sources of information on the Romulans, notably those who had spent considerable periods exposed to the aliens' culture. For a time, Ajon provided what information he could, supervised by his contact with Starfleet Intelligence until, when the Horatio was re-assigned to duty along the Neutral Zone, an event occurred that resulted in the science officer being requested to use some of what he knew and, eventually, whom he knew to relay certain information, as unfathomable to him at the time as it is now, beyond the border. The risk to the young officer was minimal, but he proved himself sufficiently capable of handling a similar set of orders the next time Starfleet Intelligence required the transmission of sensitive date. After some time, Ajon's activities brought him to the notice of someone else at Starfleet Intelligence, a man who referred to himself simply as Mr. Keane. The annoyingly enigmatic intelligence officer took over as Ajon's handler, for want of a better term, and immediately set him to work on missions that were somewhat more dangerous than those to which he had become accustomed. Indeed, Ajon might have met his end on several occasions had it not been for his invaluable in-depth experience and knowledge of the Romulans and what little knowledge he had gained from his previous experience assisting Starfleet Intelligence. The officer's performance during one mission in particular seemed to prove to Keane that Ajon could be relied on to perform more "taxing duties", as the former referred to them. Accordingly, Ajon was removed from his posting on board the Horatio and admitted to a course that, while listed as advanced tactical training on his record, entailed much more, from combat to piloting to black ops skills. When Mox rejoined Starfleet proper, he did so as a supposed Security officer, moving from assignment to assignment in a fashion that, while dizzying to read through on his personnel file, placed him in ideal location after ideal location to effect Starfleet Intelligence's desires in a certain area. He rarely ventured far from the Romulan Neutral Zone during that period - placing him in another theatre of operations would have reduced his overall effectiveness. Several years passed in this manner until, after an excruciatingly close call with a Tal'Shiar colonel, it became apparent to Mox that, while the Romulans might not have known of him precisely, their awareness of certain of his activities was growing. Requesting and receiving a re-assignment, he spent a month in relative obscurity along the Klingon border until the outbreak of hostilities with the Dominion. Mox spent little time in his more routine role during the first months of the war, and was instead assigned intelligence gathering and analysis duties aboard the USS Pico, which was, at the time, among the reduced number of starships that Starfleet devoted to maintaining its border with the Romulan Star Empire. Soon enough, however, the Empire joined in the war against the Dominion and Mox's role, while more easy to execute, had become considerably less moral, given the alliance between the Alpha Quadrant's three major powers. The war proceeded, usually without any input whatsoever from the officer. His combat engagements, even those that did not involve the Pico or his later posting, the Contago, were few and far between, and he was relied upon more heavily for his analytical abilities than for his other Intelligence-oriented skills. He also found himself assuming a new role aboard the Contago, that of helmsman, which shifted him into the Command stream for the first time since joining Starfleet. With the conclusion of the war, Mox did not expect to be returned to his old role. After all, the Romulans were, while not bosom buddies, warmer towards the Federation than they ever had been previously. That was not to say that Starfleet was not keeping a very close eye on them and operatives behind their borders, but the number of people involved fell dramatically. Mox, as it turned out, was thought of as being only barely senior enough to stay on as a frontline intelligence operative, but the Romulan colonel to whom he had once almost lost his life had assumed command of the Tal'Shiar in the Neutral Zone's area of space. According to confidential reports, he was most determined to root out any lingering Federation spies. In light of the likelihood that, given their previous experience, the colonel would uncover Mox's identity or precise activities, both he and Mr. Keane thought it for the best that the former assume a less hands-on role. Consequently, he was assigned to Starbase 565 at Wolf 359, a Regula Class starbase in need of an intelligence officer and, shortly after his arrival there, a helmsman for its attached support craft. Mox filled the latter role, if not quite gladly, and grew to anticipate a scarce intelligence workload on board an installation that went on to become the core of the so-called Wolf Star Squadron. It was not quite to be. His fine work, courage and, he had to admit, happenstance, saw the intelligence officer/pilot promoted first to the position of chief helmsman, which would have been something of an oddity aboard a starbase prior to the Dominion War's influence on Starfleet facility defence protocols, and then first officer, a position he held from 2375 to 2380. It was a turbulent time. The starbase found itself at the centre of more than just one conflict. The Federation's borders were, also thanks to the war, full of holes and opportunistic souls repeatedly seized their chances to wreak havoc, sow fear and, of course, earn a tidy profit. The starbase and Ajon Mox made it through all such encounters, including several instances in which the Tal'Shiar colonel, having deduced some element of the current first officer's participation in a number of intelligence operations, made his presence felt. In 2380, a year that saw Mox shift into the role of Starbase 565's acting commanding officer, he was offered and accepted a full command of his own. It was, true to form, a combat vessel, a Defiant Class starship that punched through threat after threat after threat over the eventful course of the next year until, having fought one battle too many, it was recalled for extensive repairs. This brief period of relaxation provided Mox - or, more precisely, Mr. Keane - an opportunity to re-engage in some familiar activities, the successful completion of which earned Mox a meritorious, if not wholly transparent, promotion to the rank of commodore. Mox spent the next year operating as the adjutant to Starfleet's sector commander before, in lieu of a prompt replacement, the position fell to him. He held the role of acting sector commander for a matter of months before the initial replacement was free to take over, at which point he adopted another adjutant role, this one closer to his spiritual home, the Romulan Neutral Zone. While the work was not quite what he was used to, he applied his usual work ethic and, when the position of Director of the Office of Research and Development for the Ninth Fleet opened in early 2382, he was one of the frontrunners. That is, from a purely organisational point of view. There were other candidates whose engineering and scientific prowess were better suited to handling the potentially detailed technicalities that could arise in R&D. Indeed, one of those candidates was offered the position. When the Vulcan rear admiral suffered a family trauma, however, the selection panel was thrown into disarray. Several projects then under way necessitated speedy conclusion. In the absence of someone possessing the preferred level of expertise, the panel put Mox into the role in the hope that those projects could be concluded on schedule. The successful and timely conclusion of the projects in question owed much to the abilities of those working on them, but the Ninth Fleet's command was sufficiently impressed with the manner in which Mox had kept the plethora of shows running that, despite certain concerns, he was appointed to the position and the related higher rank in full. Using the engineering skills he had acquired through his command training and the other-than-average experiences under his hat, Mox managed to stay on top of R&D for a full year, introducing various new technologies and craft, before once again changing jobs. Assigned to R&D at Jupiter Station, he directed the entirety of Starfleet's technological advancement initiative. For a time, at least. His stint in the Sol System was cut short by necessity - a member of the Ninth Fleet's Joint Fleet Command, a body and fleet with which he had some familiarity, was rendered unable to fulfil their duties. Mox, due to his knowledge of the sector, the fleet's disposition in the area and the people involved, was assigned to fill in until a suitable alternative could be found. None, however, was forthcoming, and within months of assuming the acting role, he was promoted to full member of the Joint Fleet Command of Obsidian Fleet. As of the modern day, Ajon Mox has resumed his position as a Triadite - one of the three members of the Joint Fleet Command - having left that office for a year and a half upon promotion to Fleet Admiral in the wake of the Hobus disaster and the Federation's relief efforts.
