A twenty-year veteran of deep space service, Mark Stone doesn’t think of himself as anything special. He never thought he would be a captain. The Deimos is, in fact, his first command. Stone is a complicated man, one of deep feelings. He cherishes his crew as he realized long ago that his shipmates help keep him sane in space. Because of this, Stone does not tolerate conflict between his crew.

A master of his emotions, yet he is looking for love in space and regards himself as an interstellar lover. He feels that love cannot be limited to a specific type or race.

But if you threaten the Federation or his crew, he will open fire photon torpedoes up your backside.
