Physical Appearance: P.J., like all members of the COBRA strike team,
maintains a rigorous PT regimen to maintain combat readiness. He is muscular,
lean, and solid. His dark hair is kept short. P.J. has very intense blue/gray eyes. Some have commented
that they reflect an inner sadness that never seems to go away. The letters "SL"
are branded into his left palm (a topic he refuses to discuss).
Personality: When on duty, P.J. can be very warm, friendly, and even
funny in appropriate situations. On his own time he is withdrawn, quiet, and
introverted. He is driven to fulfill his duties with excellence and to uphold
the honor of The Corps. In quieter times he appears to be very reflective, as if
he were trying to make sense of some great mystery.
Other Pertinent Data: P.J. has served with distinction in numerous SFMC
operations throughout his career. He has been awarded the following major
service citations: Silver Nebula; Wounded Lion; Starfleet Marine Corps
Commendation; Federation Campaign Ribbon.
His passion is studying military tactics and history. Of particular interest
to him are obscure manuscripts detailing the campaigns of Bletth Gyt of Aurora
Loroma against a dimension-traveling foe called the Faktorn. Although historians
have unanimously dismissed these ancient writings as little more than mythology,
P.J. is obsessed with gathering all available information concerning the
legendary confrontation.
History: P.J. was born Paul Joseph Maginot on May 5, 2282.
His parents, Jude and Bernadette, continue to own and operate the
hundred-acre New Hampshire farm which has remained in the Maginot family for 264
years.
His sister, Arcadia (whom P.J. alone is allowed to call "Cady") is a
veterinary geneticist involved with retro-breeding extinct species from
throughout the Federation.
After graduating from the Starfleet Marine Corps Academy in 2304, P.J. was
immediately assigned to USS SOJOURNER TRUTH as part of its rapid-response
contingent. After his initial 4-year tour of duty, he requested a transfer to
flight training at New Miramar. After successfully graduating in the top ten
percent of his class, P.J. was stationed with the 5th Special
Operations Group on USS ORWELL. His Commanding Officer rewarded P.J.’s
outstanding years of service by recommending him personally to COL Lewis T. Horn
for duty with the Cobras. P.J. Maginot has remained aboard USS PHOENIX since its
commissioning in 2315.
