>and the Federation to a botanist mother and environmental scientist
>father. As a child enjoyed mountain biking and skiing.
>     Joined Starfleet to get the hell out of the DMZ. He was almost
>expelled from the academy for reckless and unauthorized use of a phase
>rifle relating to a party at Red Squad's quarters. Given only
>administrative punishment thanks to testimony from his instructors and
>fellow cadets. Taking majors in both Intellegence and fighter ops,
>Higuchi graduated from the academy with honours.
>     During the Dominion War his recon wing tracked a Jem'Hadar
>battlecrusier for 36 straight hours through the badlands. Eventually
>tracing the ship back to a previously unknown Ketracel White production
>facility, after calling in reinforcements the wing helped in the
>facility's eventual distruction.
>     Fliing over twenty sorties during the course of the war he was
>responible for ten confirmed kills of Jem'Hadar attack craft. On one
>such mission his fighter was criticly damaged and he was forced to make
>an emergency landing. His cockpit was damaged and his leg pinned, but
>because of the risk of explosion they were forced to amputate.
>     After this he was transferred to the Defiant-class ship USS Arthur
>C. Currie where he served as intellegence officer. There he met Chris
>Csatlos and Matt Harris. Higuchi held a grudge against Csatlos because
>of the fact that one of his friends was lost during the incident in
>which Chris was brought up on charges. When the Currie was destroyed the
>two found themselves in the same escape pod and were able to create some
>sort of odd like-hate relationship. Luckily the two were picked up by a
>federation ship before the Jem'Hadar arrived.
>     At the war's end he served as chief of shuttle ops aboard the
>Excelsior-class ship USS Lester B. Pearson.
>
>     Higuchi is 29 and knows five languages. (Klingon, Vulcan, Ferengi,
>Russian, Japanese & English) Since leaving for Starfleet he has been
>estranged from his parents. He has a wierd sense of humor and carries on
>many inside jokes with both Harris and Csatlos. He has a short fuse,
>especilly when it comes to his leg.
