Grady Howard

Grady Howard was a Starfleet officer, serving as Captain of the starship USS Livingston in the 24th century.

Howard was born on October 7th, 2329 in Scottsdale, Arizona. Howard entered Starfleet Academy in 2347 and graduated in 2351 with honors in quantum chemistry and science. He was assigned to the USS Gettysburg shortly after graduation with the rank of Ensign, under the command of Captain Mark Jameson.

After serving in Starfleet for twelve years and decorated numerous times, he was promoted to Captain and was given command of the USS Livingston, a Miranda-class starship in 2358. Commander Chakotay was assigned as his first officer. The ship's first mission was charting a nebula deep in Cardassian space and investigating natural space anomalies.

In 2378, Howard witnessed the USS Voyager emerge from a Borg sphere while patrolling the Sol sector. He was able to greet his old friend Chakotay when he returned from seven years in the Delta Quadrant. Howard continued to command the Livingston for three more years, before accepting a promotion to rear admiral in 2382.
