Background 
---------- 
Admiral Hunter's home is a small mining colony in the vicinity of 
Faraway station in the Ariadne system (coordinates). The area of 
space, while within the borders of space controlled by the 
Federation, holds no particular interest for Starfleet, and can be 
described as somewhat 'out of the way'. The remoteness, however, is 
alleviated by the fact that in the same area, there are a number of 
colonies as well as a few smaller states. Being the one major 
trading post, as well as sporting the closest maintenance/repair 
facilities, Faraway station sees a good deal of traffic, but is 
generally known as 'rough'.

For the most part, the miners keep to themselves, only seeking out 
the station for its amenities and the opportunity of selling off 
goods outside their longer-standing contracts. Gas mining being the 
hazardous operation that it is, one might expect the usual mix of 
those who have hit upon hard times, and those who for other reasons 
find this way of life appealing.

Instead, a distinct culture has evolved among the miners which 
exhibits some aspects of a tribal nature. They seem to consider 
themselves a family group, with no smaller entities. Children are 
brought up by the whole community, questions of paternity are 
considered unimportant. Each member born to the groups obtains one 
name, there being no reason to express ties to a family or other 
sub-entity. Most of the members are originally Terran humans. 
Children are taught by members of the group, suitable individuals 
providing the training in various subjects, and start helping with 
the mining work once they reach their teens. (For a more detailed 
description, see "The Miners from Faraway - an artificial society", 
Annals of Sociology, and the attached bibliography.)

While most of those born to this group elect to stay, it is by far 
not unusual to find individuals making a life for themselves away - 
among those, Starfleet with its opportunities, guaranteeing a sound 
education at no cost, with enlisting being the more common mode of 
entry.

Choosing to follow the same course, Hunter first attracted attention 
when, under risk to her own life, she rescued a fellow crew member 
from a burning hold. Having been selected for NCO school, she 
continued to impress her superiors, who decided to make her a fleet 
appointment to SFA. From there on, her career was successful without 
being outstanding. Captain Hunter was chosen for Flag Officer 
Orientation School, and promotion to Rear Admiral, in 2409.

Rear Admiral Hunter is widowed and has one daughter, who has decided 
to follow her mother into the fleet, and is currently training at 
Starfleet Academy.

Skills Profile (SD 101001)
--------------------------
Accomplished officer with a reputation of never giving up. Came into 
her own once she had achieved command; successfully there with 
various classes of vessels as well as a TACRON tasked with driving 
away a group of splinter Borg from what nominally was Federation 
space. Old-style space warfare officer, no diplomatic or political 
ambitions.


Psychological Profile
---------------------
'Admiral Hunter is no doubt a perfect example for the much-made-of 
fact that successful Starfleet Officers come from all sorts of 
backgrounds. While she probably will always stay more of a hands-on 
person with a bit of a rough-and-tumble mentality, I would by no 
means say that she is out of place among those of flag rank. Her past 
service history suggests a certain tenaciousness which is doubtlessly 
a reflection of her character. Well-liked among peers and 
subordinates (in particular the enlisted, it seems, which, of course, 
is not unknown for a mustang), she has occasionally got on the wrong 
side of a superior due to being overly frank - again, an obvious 
character trait.

The death of her husband, while something that no doubt did not leave 
her untouched, is something she is coping with as well as expected.'


Personal Interests 
------------------ 
Poker, music (Admiral Hunter plays the trumpet and occasionally takes 
part in amateur performances), fishing, history.
