About Me
Hi! I'm an avid gamer, and in addition to playing Star Trek Online, I also record and post video from a wide variety of games on my YouTube channel, llEmJayll. I'm always happy to help out a fellow player as best I can, so if you ever need anything, don't be afraid to look me up in-game! Also, a big "Thank you" is in order for Aequalitas, Aoav160, and CMarie55, from whom the design of this page originates. Thanks for the inspiration, guys!

Mike Crawford
Commander Mike "EmJay" Crawford is the commanding officer of the U.S.S. Atlantis, an Akira class starship. During his career with Starfleet, he has been credited with serving Federation interests as an explorer, soldier, time-traveler, and diplomat.

Born on stardate 62480.5 in San Francisco, California, Crawford was accepted into Starfleet Academy in 2403. During his time at the Academy, his professors noted his enthusiasm, determination, and ambition. Known in the academy for his fondness of Starfleet uniforms of the later 24th century, he graduated in 2407, finishing 32nd in his class. One year later, he was deployed on his first assignment aboard the Miranda class U.S.S. Atlantis (NCC-93598). In 2409, the Atlantis was deployed to the Vega System to assist several other ships in crisis against the Borg. As a member of an away team, Crawford played a vital role in the defense and repair of the U.S.S. Khitomer, helping to repair the ship's engines and repel the Borg advance. During that time, however, the Atlantis suffered massive damage, and all of the her senior staff were killed. As the highest-ranking remaining officer, Crawford was given command of the vessel and, following what was described by Admiral Jorel Quinn as "outstanding conduct through unique circumstances", was promoted to Lieutenant and permitted to retain command. Over the course of the next year, this would not only prove to be a wise decision, but he would also be promoted twice more.

The Klingon War
Crawford's time as Commanding Officer began to show the most promise during his time serving during the Klingon War. After restructuring the bridge crew, the Atlantis was assigned as a diplomatic escort for the Vulcan Ambassador Sokketh to a monastery on P'Jem. Admiral Quinn felt the journey would provide the Klingons with an opportunity to attack. While this proved to be true, the resulting events proved the Ambassador to be an Undine agent, exposing their covert actions to the Federation and providing circumstantial evidence that thety may have caused the Federation-Klingon war. At the end of 2409, Crawford and his senior staff were instrumental in the success of a mission to destroy Driffen's Comet, which was emitting triolic wave energy and facilitating a Devidian incursion. The mission required the Atlantis to travel back in time to 2265 and displayed the their ability to handle delicate situations with poise and skill, as the crew was able to preserve the timeline and destroy the comet, ending the incursion. As a result, Crawford was awarded his current rank of Commander, as well as command of the current version of the Atlantis (NCC-93598-B).
