Early Starfleet career

Moon/Mars run

Martin's first posting was on the old Moon-Mars run under Captain Jack Maynard. Martin and Maynard became close friends, nicknaming each other "Swamp Rat" and "Stinky" and getting into (and out of) several sticky situations together.

Federation-Cardassian War

Martin was offered a post as tactical officer and security officer of the USS Cairo. He turned down the offer out of loyalty to his then-current Captain Roger Stearns, and because he was uncomfortable with the commanding officer of the Cairo.

During the war, Martin was the first officer of the USS Lexington. Martin took command of the Lexington when Captain Stearns was killed in a battle with a Cardassian battle cruiser in sector 887 while on border patrol, forcing Lieutenant Martin to take command of the ship and order an evacuation due to the warp core on the verge of breaching.

After the destruction of the Lexington Martin and half of the surviving crew were taken on different ships, as he was posted to the USS Kansas commanded by Captain Jane Mitchell, and kept fighting in the war.

Starfleet career

USS Enterprise-D

In 2364, he was posted on board the USS Enterprise-D as a assistant tactical officer with the rank of Lieutenant, under the teaching of Lieutenant Worf he learned a lot from Worf and the two became good friends and brothers. In 2370, Lieutenant Martin fell in love with Sito Jaxa but when he heard Picard announcing Sito's death it tore him up and he requested a transfer to the Mars Shipyards and Picard granted the transfer in the same year.

Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards

In 2370, after he transferred to the Mars shipyard to help design the Defiant-class and Intrepid-class starships, Lieutenant Commander Martin worked with Lieutenant Tyson when he met then Captain Kathryn Janeway who wanted to see how the construction of Voyager was going and she invited him on the shakedown cruise of the ship.
