Starfleet Background
Hitchens was a something of a "wonder kid" in his early days, widely considered to be on a quick path to the Captaincy. Hitchens became Captain at the relatively young age of 37, commanding the Excelsior-class USS Concorde. At 42, his command career was cut short after a serious illness sidelined him for more than a year. While recuperating, Hitchens transferred to Starfleet Operations at San Francisco and then to the Academy as an instructor. Hitchens began by teaching introductory Starship Operations to the freshmen students, an assignment he has held onto his entire career.
Hitchens left the Academy for only three years, returning to command during the Dominion War. With the rank of Commodore, Hitchens commanded a battle group with his flag upon the Galaxy-class USS Abraham Lincoln.
Hitchens is a gifted administrator and educator, teaching interstellar political theory and political philosophy at the Academy for nearly twenty years. Taciturn and often stern, he will regularly make students work hard to earn his approval, accomplishing with small actions what others strive only to achieve by heaping praise.
Medical Profile
While generally enjoying good health, Hitchens was gravely ill for nearly a year after being exposed to micro-parasitic organisms while on an away mission. The effect was debilitating as the organisms prevented the haemoglobin in Hitchens' system from properly processing and attaching to oxygen.
After extensive treatment to his damaged organs and removing the very persistent parasites, Hitchens was returned to duty and has had no further illness of note.
Other
Admiral Hitchens is the commander of record of the starship USS Spinoza, a Galaxy-class training vessel.
