| Personal History | Born on Andoria, Vance was raised in a strict military household, his father serving as an Imperial Guard commander. Inspired by the Guard’s sense of duty but desiring to see beyond his homeworld, he entered Starfleet Academy in 2378, focusing on Tactical Operations and Diplomacy. During his early service as a junior tactical officer on the USS Resolute (2382–2386), Vance was temporarily assigned to a joint task group with the USS Lexington, where he met Ensign Jack Reacher, then a promising but untested tactical officer. The two worked side-by-side during a Klingon border security operation in 2385, forming a mutual respect that endured over decades. |
