{{NPCinfo | rank = Captain | faction = Starfleet | location = Earth Spacedock | location2 = New Romulus System | location3 = Kyana Research Station | location4 = U.S.S. Bern | race = Human | profession = Information giver | pips = 4 | voice = Robert Duncan McNeill |profession2=Commanding Officer}} Captain '''Tom Paris''' (formally '''Thomas Eugene Paris''') is a [[Human]] [[Starfleet]] officer. He is best known for his tenure as the helmsman of the {{USS|Voyager}} during the ship's journey through the [[Delta Quadrant]] in the [[24th Century]]. He is also the husband of [[B'Elanna Torres]] and father of Lt. Commander [[Miral Paris]]. In [[2410]], he commands the {{USS|Mercury}} and leads [[Delta Flight]]. ==History== The son of Admiral {{mAlpha|Owen Paris}}, Tom and his father had a poor relationship due to Owen pressuring him and making him feel inadequate. In the [[24th Century|2360]]'s, Tom attended [[Starfleet Academy]] and graduated with a major in astrophysics. His first posting was the {{mAlpha|USS Exeter (NCC-26531)|U.S.S. ''Exeter''}}. Tom was expelled from Starfleet after an accident on {{mAlpha|Caldik Prime}} led to the deaths of three of his fellow ''Exeter'' officers. Following Tom's expulsion from Starfleet, he joined the [[Maquis]], though was captured and imprisoned on his first mission with them. In [[2371]] while serving at a Federation penal colony in New Zealand on [[Earth]], Tom was recruited by Captain [[Kathryn Janeway]] who offered him a commuted sentence in exchange for his help in searching out the Maquis in the [[Badlands]]. Tom accepted and was given the rank of Lt. Junior Grade and brought aboard the newly-commissioned {{USS|Voyager}} as an observer. During the mission however, ''Voyager'' was hurtled 70,000 light years into the Delta Quadrant by the {{mAlpha|Caretaker (Nacene)|Caretaker}}. With ''Voyager'''s helmsman killed in the incident and Paris being the best candidate for the job, he accepted the posting. Over the following seven years, Tom would help design the ''[[Delta Flyer]]'' shuttlecraft, attempt to break the {{mAlpha|transwarp threshold}}, marry fellow ''Voyager'' crewmember [[B'Elanna Torres]], and with her give birth to [[Miral Paris]] before returning home to the [[Alpha Quadrant]] in [[2378]]. At some point, Paris became an Admiral, holding [[Jorel Quinn]]'s position at [[Earth Space Dock]]. However he "was never admiral material" and, through events not elaborated, was reduced to Captain. In [[2410]], he won Quinn's approval to establish [[Delta Flight]], which aided the defence of the [[Milky Way]] against the [[Iconian]] invasion. ==Missions involved== * {{mission|Blood of Ancients||ALL}}: In [[2410]], Captain Paris is present at a joint Alliance briefing on [[Earth Spacedock]] to counter the [[Iconian]] threat. Before he can start to elaborate on the [[Herald]]'s weaknesses, however, he is cut short by an Iconian surprise attack on [[Starbase 234]]. * {{mission|Delta Flight||ALL}}: Captain Paris' ship, the {{USS|Bern}}, takes part in a mission to destroy a [[Solanae]] space station before it can create a pocket of tetryon space in the [[Calbriden System]]. * {{mission|Broken Circle||ALL}}: Paris is present for the conference in the [[Kyana System]], and joins the assault on the [[Herald Sphere]]. * {{mission|Midnight||ALL}}: Paris commands the [[U.S.S. Mercury]] in defense of [[Earth]] during the Iconians' final assault. After the player succeeds in brokering peace with the Iconians, Paris meets the player at [[Starfleet Academy]] and expresses his relief that the war is over and that he and [[Miral Paris|his daughter]] have survived. ==Other involvement== * [[Tales of the War|"Tales of the War #1"]]: Paris meets with Admiral [[Jorel Quinn]] to discuss the formation of [[Delta Flight]]. * [[Tales of the War|"Tales of the War #22]]: Paris helps Captain [[Kagran]] compose letters of condolence to the families of fallen Starfleet officers. * [[Post War Era#"Na'kuhl"|"Na'kuhl"]]: It is revealed that Captain Paris has been supplying Lieutenant [[Kyona]] with [[The Adventures of Captain Proton|''Captain Proton'']] holonovels. * [[Lore Blogs#Of Hawks and Doves|"Of Hawks and Doves"]]: Administrator [[Kuumaarke]] meets with Captains Paris and [[Nog]] to discuss the Lukari ship-building program, which Starfleet is providing assistance with. The specifications provided by the Lukari Planetary Council are contradictory, with some emphasizing weaponry and durability, and others focusing on sensor and long-range capabilities. After some discussion of the merits of each approach, they agree to try to find a middle path between the two sets of specifications. ==Notes== * Tom Paris is voiced by [[Robert Duncan McNeill]], the actor who played the character in ''{{mAlpha|Star Trek: Voyager}}''. * Tom Paris is very fond of anything having to do with 20th Century Earth culture & technology, and often makes anachronistic pop culture references during the missions he appears in. * Some of the blogs released in conjunction with [[Season 10]] and the first installment of [[Tales of the War]] mention that Paris was considered for promotion to Admiral and for a time was in command of [[Earth Spacedock]] prior to Fleet Admiral [[Jorel Quinn]]. ==External Links== {{MA Link}} {{MB Link}} {{factionnav/Federation}} {{Canon}} [[Category:Season Ten: The Iconian War]] [[Category:Delta Flight]]
