History: Born on April 2, 2279, Justin R. Klaw was the product child of a love affair that ended badly. Justin’s mother, Morgan Klaw, had great expectations for the man who fathered their baby, but that blossoming was not to be. He had other aspirations than to be her husband. It was doubtful the man was aware of her pregnancy for she didn’t mention his name on the birth certificate. Morgan worked for Hogarth Mining Corp as an Exobiologist and resigned to raise her son alone.

In 2286 Morgan met and married Conrad Hastings. He had just transferred to Hogarth as a Minor and Geophysicists. Conrad took to 7 year-old Justin and the feeling was mutral considering that Justin was hungry for a male roll model. The entire family made a trip to Pacifica and fell in love with the ocean planet. Conrad and Morgan promised each other that someday they would settle on Pacifica.

In 2289 Morgan gave birth to Justin’s half sister Sophia. At this time Conrad approached Morgan with the idea of adopting Justin and giving him his last name. She declined the offer, but couldn’t explain why.

2292, Conrad secured a position with Pacifica Science Ministry. It was a dream come true. The family packed up everything and moved into their new home.

At age 13, Justin asked the question that Morgan had hoped would never be asked. Justin wanted to know who his real father was. She related a few things to him, but would not reveal his name. Morgan tried to make Justin see that Conrad was his true father and he should accept what was given to him. Justin never brought up the subject again.

When Justin was 16 he had a run in with a shark while on vacation with the family. This incident would change his life. Major Cloverton and his Marines pulled Justin from the water while they patrolled the coast. The look on his mother’s face when she met the Cloverton was shock. Justin didn’t miss the look and later confronted Morgan. "Is he my father?" Morgan sank into a chair her face pale. She could no longer deny her son. "Yes," she replied.

When Justin turned 18 he joined Starfleet. Morgan pleaded for him to let go of this whim, but he had made up his mind. The family saw him off at the Pacifica Spaceport and before he embarked for San Francisco Morgan whispered in his ear, "No Marines! They’ll break your heart every time."

During Justin’s freshman year in Starfleet he had not picked a major. As he scanned the list of disciplines, he came across "Marines". He knew all along in his heart what he wanted to do. As he presented his choice to the councilor adjutant, he thought, "Sorry mom, but if you could see me now!"
