Personal History		J.J McEntrye was born aboard the U.S.S. Guinevere-H on 27th of April 3172 to Captain Samuel Saul McEntyre and his wife, A’va. The McEntyre’s being a military family with deep roots in Federation Service, dating back to before the Federation was founded. J.J’s ancestors were MACO officers, Starfleet Officers, Doctors, Soldiers. Almost a thousand years of family and duty weighing on his shoulders. Growing up under the weight of his family’s legacy, J.J spent years under the pressure of his father, who wanted his son to learn proper discipline, weapons handling, and self-reliance, skills useful for a future officer of Starfleet and what remained of the Federation. Something that still weighed on J.J as he knew that there wasn’t much of the Federation left and if he didn’t continue the legacy, then he would only be contributing more to the further fracturing of the galaxy and downfall of what was once the greatest spacefairing civilization of the galaxy. J.J was accepted to Starfleet aboard U.S.S. Annapolis in 3190, with somewhat remarkable scores in his admission exams and strong recommendations from his father and other Starfleet Officers he had grown up around. He trained harder than any recruit at the academy, impressing his instructors with his commitment to the Force, and his willingness to go above and beyond for his beliefs. Upon his senior graduation from the Academy, he asked to remain to continue his studies for his masters in Defense and Strategic Studies, graduated in the top 10% of his class and was commissioned into Starfleet Security aboard the Annapolis. His career was marred by conflict with the Emerald Chain, the long times between planets and the inability to help those in need due to Starfleet’s limited resources, reliance on sublight drives and clashes with the Chain at every turn. He and his detachment fought several long battles with mercenaries, pirates and scavengers for years on their lone patrol routes in and around the Federation Headquarters. Mainly keeping the peace where they could. Though J.J longed for the moment when exploration could resume, his mind told him to be focused on the here and now of the Universe. Eventually, the cause of the Burn was discovered by the crew of the Discovery, warp drive made possible once more, and the dream of the Federation sparked once more. J.J jumped at the chance to do his part, passing Command Training School and applying for a spot on one of the first ships to get out there, the U.S.S. Koinonia.
