Born in 2342 in New Berlin and lost his father in 2367 during the Borg attack at Wolf 359. He also has a sister who moved to Earth a couple of years ago and took his mother with her. They are living together in New York and are both well known fashion designers.
He has been decorated by Starfleet for his skills during the Dominion War and for his research at Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards.

PERSONAL INTERESTS:
Hedford has two ambitions, one of them is the holodeck and the other is the collection of small starships in his quarters. He tries to find new interests but his work and these two ambitions keep him busy. On the holodeck he has several programs he loves to run, but the one that contains Wolf 359 is visited most. The program contains the exact happening at the star located 7.8 light-years from Sol. He often tries to prevent the destruction of the  USS Saratoga and the other 38 ships but has not yet been successful.

*Hedford touches some buttons on his console, which gives the weapons-array the command to begin to fire on the Romulan Warbirds again. The Romulan ships take heavy damage, but before the last ship is disabled the Stations weapons array begins to fail.*

"Admiral Vorak, it seems the weapons array is damaged. I can't tell if this is done from the outside or inside"

*Hedford's reaction came a bit late, but he had to focus on the Romulan warships outside. He had to help the fleet of Starfleet Starships that were under heavy fire. The manual firing wasn't as effective as a computer, but he had done some damage to the Romulans.*

"Admiral Vorak, the weapons systems are still operational. Alltough I have no idea how long I can hold them off"

OFF: this is Vorak posting with the Hedford character, he requested me to keep his chars going until he can be back after his school exams. And since nobody's going to  give the ASC Revox permission to dock, I'll do it or this mission will never be completed.

=^= DS12 to Revox =^=
You have permission to dock, Mr. Ardwyad. Welcome aboard our station, in name of Starfleet and the United Federation of Planets.
=^= Hedford out =^=

"Understood admiral, the defences must hold...the defences must hold"

OFF: ofcourse you should post, any thought to the story is welcome http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>.
--------------------------
*Hedford remain seated as the fight behind him began. He was trying to block the Romulan communications from the Station to their ships.*

"Guys, when you think you are ready over here. You might want to check out the Comms-array chambre, some Romulan officers are trying to block me out and trying to get reinforcements."

*Pushes several buttons and tries to target the Romulan vessels*

"Admiral Vorak, it seems on of our ships is surrounded by four Romulan Vessels, we could help them a hand but then our cover is blown and the Romulan will know that the station-weaponsarray is in our hands."

*Hedford stands by to give the last command which would fire upon the Romulan Vessels. He awaited the answer from Admiral Vorak*

"It seems Engineering is ours Admiral Vorak. And Mr Huw it's an honour to have such a great warriour on our side, but patience is also a good quality of a good warrior. When Mr Walker and Michaels, have disabled those Romulans at the Comms-array, we are able to move towards the bridge"

*Finally sits back in his chair, the manual work on the weaponsarray wasn't needed anymore. He relaxed for 2 minutes and then stood up, he noticed that several officers of the team were fighting the last remaining Romulans onboard the station. Hedford deciced to help*

"Admiral Vorak, good to see you. We are all still in one peace, thank god. But what will our next step be now?"

"Understood sir"

*Hedford began to give the instructions to the weapons-array. All weapons that were available suddenly began to fire on the Romulan ships orbitting the station. The torpedo's that hit the hull, could be heared inside Engineering. The battle had turned into their advantage now*

"Yes Admiral Vorak, indeed a drink. Shall we go?"

Hedford made a gesture that the Admiral should lead

"I must say, that Vulcan Logic sure made the difference today. It never thought it would be some #### important, no harm intended"

"Maybe we should try to help them, by taking control over the stations weaponsarray."

*Looks at Admiral Vorak*

"Admiral, what will our next step be?"

*Turns to the right console and sits down*

Hedford began to prepare the communications-array to send a message to all Federation-ships. His actions were not allowed to alert the present Romulans onboard the station, so every step he made was already taken in consideration in his mind. During the proces, Hedford looked at Admiral Vorak who was staring at his own console. The admiral was, as always, totaly in control of the situation. Like a vulcan, he didn't express any emotion, you coulnd't see tension nor was he anxious. Hedford was wondering if he had this switch, because he was feeling some kind of pressure. Tough he didn't let it to be noticed by the other officers. Hedford loved the action, he was a real thrill-seeker. He had been in many combat-actions, only this time it was different. There was this unknown feeling, the feeling that he was being watched, his actions were very important for the continuing of the mission. So was that the reason of this strange feeling? Hedford suddenly stopped and snapped out of his thoughts, he concentrated on the screen. He had configured the array and had made the possibility of sending a message to all Federation ships, possible. The message was ready to be sent, without the Romulans noticing. The attack would be a total suprise, which was a good advantage.

"Admiral Vorak, the message is ready to be sent. The Romulans will not notice the transmission at all, the only thing they will see is our fleet aiming at their heads"

Hedford smiled and awaited Admiral Voraks reaction

Hedford was still firing the stations weapons array, as he notices something on his targettingscanners

"Admiral Vorak, it seems we have company. An unidentified vessel has dropped out of warp and decided to aid our fleet. They have destroyed several Romulan ships and are heading towards the last remaining Romulan cruisers. It seems we are on the winning team admiral!"
