Personal Biography

        Born the eldest son of Colonel Matthew Keron, and Commander Marissa Black-Keron, that young Mike would one day end up in service to the Federation was never in doubt. His father having trained him on weapons since the age of 10, and by 14 he was practicing twice a week at the Marine Corps firing ranges. A qualified marksman, Mike is proficient in most weapons and has had self defense training. From his mother, a Starfleet science officer, he learned the joys of working in a lab and spent time at many research laboratories as a child. Both his parents were stunned when he announced his intentions of joining the Engineering program at Starfleet Academy.

        Applying to Starfleet Academy at age 18, he was accepted. His chosen major of engineering stunned his parents as each expected him to follow in their career paths. However, from the moment Mike took apart one of the weapons his father gave him, he couldn't help but make them better. Mike's skills for finding ways to improve devices no matter how small or large gained him notice.

        Graduating at the top of his class in engineering, Mike was allowed his choice of assignments. He immediately chose to join Starfleet Engineering's Research and Development team. There he was promoted in clearance level rather than rank. A year later, Mike Keron was made Supervisor with a probationary rank of Lieutenant Commander. He headed up his personal project of a heavy weapons defense platform.

        The design of the defense platform project, named ADWPP (Advanced Defense Weapons Platform Project) was a success in the early models. Improvements in shielding and replication systems led to the most ambitious of the project, ADWPP IV - a full defense platform of "Heavy" weapons. Boasting 23 micro torpedo launchers and 12 separate phaser arrays, ADWPP IV was to be the crowning jewel of a new defense network proposed Keron. However, during an inspection over the project, the ADWPP software inadvertantly went haywire, launching a barrage of weapons into the high security lab. Missing the head of a senior admiral by inches with a phaser blast, the project was cancelled and Keron's probationary rank was terminated.

        A Lieutenant again and unable to convince the brass to allow him to continue with his project, he requested transfer to Starship engineering duty. His clearance level and seniority made him the Chief Engineer on the USS Angel Song. Following her subsequent loss, and replacement, only to be transfered with most of the staff when the ship was handed over to Deep Space Nine, Mike continued staying with his band of engineers through several ship assignments until eventually ending up assigned to the USS Nikiski. There due to a superior ranking engineer who already held the post, as well as her skills, he was officially assigned as Assistant Chief Engineer. Following the destruction of the USS Nikiski, the crew was transfered to the USS Equalizer, where Keron remains Assistant Chief Engineer.
