{{NPCinfo | image = Geordi La Forge.png | rank = Captain | faction = Starfleet | location = U.S.S. Madison | location2 = Dranuur System | race = Human | profession = Mission giver | profession2 = Information giver | pips = 4 | voice = LeVar Burton }} Captain '''Geordi La Forge''' is a [[Human]] [[Starfleet]] Captain, best known for his tenure as Chief Engineer aboard the starships [[U.S.S. Enterprise (NCC-1701-D)|U.S.S. ''Enterprise''-D]] and [[U.S.S. Enterprise (NCC-1701-E)|''Enterprise''-E]]. He currently commands the {{USS|Challenger}}. ==History== * [[24th Century#2335|2335]]: Geordi La Forge is born in Mogadishu, Somalia. He is blind due to a birth defect, and receives his first {{mAlpha|VISOR}}, allowing him to see, at the age of five. * [[24th Century#2353|2353]]: Geordi is accepted to [[Starfleet Academy]]. * [[24th Century#2357|2357]]: Ensign La Forge graduates Starfleet Academy and is assigned to the {{mAlpha|USS Victory|U.S.S. ''Victory''}} under Captain {{mAlpha|Zimbata}}. * [[24th Century#2362|2362]]: La Forge transfers to the {{mAlpha|USS Hood (Excelsior class)|U.S.S. ''Hood''}} under Captain {{mAlpha|Robert DeSoto}} with Commander [[William T. Riker]] as First Officer. * [[24th Century#2364|2364]]: Lt. Junior Grade La Forge joins the crew of the [[U.S.S. Enterprise (NCC-1701-D)|U.S.S. ''Enterprise''-D]] as Conn Officer. * [[24th Century#2365|2365]]: Lieutenant La Forge transfers from the Command division to Operations, and is named Chief Engineer of the ''Enterprise''-D. He remains at this posting until the destruction of the ''Enterprise'' at {{mAlpha|Veridian III}} in 2371. * [[24th Century#2372|2372]]: Lt. Commander La Forge is named Chief Engineer of the [[U.S.S. Enterprise (NCC-1701-E)| U.S.S. ''Enterprise''-E]] when it launches, following the destruction of the ''Enterprise''-D. Around this time, his VISOR is replaced by ocular implants. * [[24th Century#2385|2385]]: La Forge takes a long-term leave of absence from Starfleet. His first task is to assist the [[Soong Foundation]] with their study of the {{mAlpha|B-4}} android. With his help, the team is able to unlock the "Data Matrix," restoring La Forge's friend [[Data]]'s personality in B-4's body. * [[24th Century#2387|2387]]: The ''[[Jellyfish]]'', a vessel designed by La Forge, is launched by the {{mAlpha|Daystrom Institute}}. La Forge works with Starfleet to determine whether any of the ship's systems can be adapted for Federation use. Later that year, La Forge brings the ''Jellyfish'' to [[Vulcan]] at the request of Ambassador [[Jean-Luc Picard]]. Ambassador [[Spock]] pilots the ''Jellyfish'' to the [[Hobus System]], where he and the ship are lost while containing the Hobus supernova. Starfleet invokes the reserve activation clause from La Forge's commission, and he returns to Starfleet, resuming his position of Chief Engineer of the ''Enterprise''-E, now commanded by Captain Data. * [[24th Century|2397]]: La Forge accepts an opportunity to command his own ship, accepting a promotion to Captain and assuming command of the {{USS|Challenger}}. He recommends that Commander [[Nog]] replace him as Chief Engineer of the ''Enterprise''. * Date Unknown: La Forge has three children by his first wife, {{mAlpha|Leah Brahms}}: Alandra, Bret, and Sidney. At some point, he becomes engaged to {{mBeta|Mikaela Leishman}}, who also becomes Chief Engineer of the ''Challenger''. ==Missions given== * {{mission|Temporal Ambassador||FED}}: Concerned that the [[Tholian]]s are attempting to open a portal to the [[Mirror Universe]], Captain La Forge asks the player to investigate an anomaly in the [[Azure Nebula]]. ===Missions formerly given=== * {{mission|Hide and Seek||FED}}: La Forge has been working with [[Starfleet Intelligence]] to analyze the data gathered from the Undine at [[P'Jem]], and asks the player to investigate a [[Klingon]] listening post. * {{mission|Stop the Signal||FED}}: La Forge informs the player that the data they recovered from the listening post has been decrypted, but they believe there is another one out there. ==Missions involved== * {{mission|Mars, the Bringer of War||KDF}}: La Forge comes to the defense of [[Penal Facility 47]], but is forced to retreat by the [[KDF]]. * {{mission|Diplomatic Orders||FED}}: After a battle group including the ''Challenger'' warps in to assist against an [[Undine]] [[Tethys Bio-Dreadnought]], Captain La Forge hails the player and remarks that, one day, the player may be able to return the favor. * {{mission|Beyond the Nexus||ALL}}: Captain La Forge and the player investigate the [[Nexus]], hoping to find the missing {{USS|Madison}}, which itself had been searching for the long-lost {{USS|Forrestal}}. The ''Madison'' attacks and disables the ''Challenger,'' and Captain La Forge and the player beam to that ship, fighting off ''Forrestal'' crew members under the thrall of [[Khaj'Buur]]. After Khaj'Burr is taken into custody, La Forge states that he will remain behind, repairing the disabled ships. * {{mission|Melting Pot||ALL}}: Captain La Forge meets the player in the [[Dranuur System]] and shows them the progress being made on the fledgling [[Lukari]]/[[Kentari]] colony there. He then assists the player in defending the colony from a [[Tzenkethi]] attack. * {{mission|Dranuur Gauntlet||ALL}}: Enemy forces assault the colony world in development by the Lukari and Kentari. Captain LaForge coordinates the defense of the colony from spaces. * {{mission|Dranuur Beach Assault||ALL}}: Captain LaForge coordinates the ground defense of the Lukari/Kentari colony. * {{mission|Scylla and Charybdis||ALL}}: La Forge and the ''Challenger'' join in defending [[Bajor]] against the Tzenkethi and subsequently the [[Hur'q]]. * {{mission|The Renegade's Regret||ALL}}: La Forge and the player meet with [[Neth Parr]] at [[Deep Space 9]] to hear the story of why she defected from the [[Tzenkethi Coalition]]. *{{mission|1=The Fujiwhara Effect|2=|3=ALL}}: La Forge is present alongside the Klingon Empire at Admiral Quinn's briefing on Earth Spacedock before the final battle against the Terran Empire commences in the Sol System. He is one of the many others who expressed shock when Dr. [[Beverly Crusher (mirror)|Beverly Crusher]] enters the briefing regarding her [[Terran Emperor|son]]. ==Other involvement== * [[Lore Blogs#New Featured Episode: "Beyond the Nexus"|"New Featured Episode: 'Beyond the Nexus'"]]: Ensign N'vall of the ''Challenger'' searches Earth Spacedock for Captain La Forge. She finds La Forge in the shipyards, where he is speaking with [[Kirayoshi O'Brien]] of the {{USS|Enterprise-F}}, which has nearly completed its refit. She hands La Forge a PADD containing new orders - the ''Challenger'' is to embark on a mission to the [[Nexus]]. O'Brien offers to put La Forge in contact with an officer who may be able to help with the mission. ==Notes== * The information regarding La Forge's marital status and children is provided by ''[[The Needs of the Many]].'' Because this book was purportedly published by [[Jake Sisko]] in [[25th Century#2423|2423]], it is possible that he has not yet married or had children by 2410. * In the mission "Beyond the Nexus", Geordi originally carried a phaser rifle of the type used primarily in ''Star Trek: The Next Generation''. As of October 2017 however, he is now armed with a standard-issue phaser pistol. ==Gallery== <gallery> File:Geordi La Forge Promotional.jpg|Promotional image File:Geordi La Forge Promotional 2.jpg|Promotional image </gallery> ==External links== {{MA Link}} {{MB Link}} * [http://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/10597534-levar-burton-and-more-from-our-stlv-panel%21 Official Blog - LeVar Burton - and more - from our STLV Panel!
