Scott O'Reilly

Scott O'Reilly was a Starfleet officer.

History
O'Reilly was born aboard the USS Lyra in 2338, two years after the marriage of his parents, Lieutenant Hanne Lindholm and Lieutenant junior grade Thomas O'Reilly. While having families with children aboard starships was not especially common at this time, the three initially opted to remain aboard the Lyra. O'Reilly was only in his third year on the ship, but Lindholm was a particularly distinguished officer who had been posted to the Lyra since her graduation from Starfleet Academy in 2332. The year before Scott's birth, she had been named as Second Officer.

In 2340, Thomas O'Reilly was transferred to Starbase 11. Lindholm and their son moved with him, but after about a year, she returned to starship duty. Scott remained with his father until 2349, the year after his mother was promoted to Captain and gained command of the USS Ballard. He spent three years there with his mother before joining his father on Earth. Thomas O'Reilly had recently been appointed as an instructor at Starfleet Academy and Scott lived with him while he went to school until he himself entered the Academy. Early on, O'Reilly pursued the science track, majoring in Astrophysics and Exobiology. He met Adriana Watley on the Academy quad during his fourth year.
