Commander Simon Masters, Chief Engineer

Son of NCC-1701 crewmember Charlene Masters, Commander Simon Masters was the Chief Engineer of the U.S.S. Eridani during its five year mission. He was 36 years old at the start of the mission and also held the title of Second officer. 

A very creative engineer, he was highly regarded for his excellent technical knowledge of the ship and a thirst for innovation. Albeit being skilled in his domain, he often felt unworthy of his posting, due to a mistake he made on one of his early on-ship assignments as a cadet, during which he made a mistake that cost the life of one of his classmates. On the ship, he was a very easy-going person, and enjoyed passing by the science labs to discuss ongoing research with the team of department head David Marcus. He also liked getting involved in the newest, more-mechanically inclined science projects of the department, and would happily work on additional safety measures in the lab for specific experiments. While sociable, he would sometime retreat to the rumbling of the engines and echoing jeffries tube for more menial maintenance as a way to unwind.
