Personal History		Adrian Locke was born in Bournemouth, England, Earth, and spent his early childhood along the southern coast. His parents relocated to San Francisco when he was in his early teens, a move that brought him closer to the heart of Starfleet. As a boy, he often watched starships depart from Earth Spacedock, which shaped his worldview and eventual career path. He entered Starfleet Academy with a focus on interstellar relations and political science, quickly distinguishing himself for his ability to mediate disputes among peers. Upon graduation, he served as a junior aide within the Federation Diplomatic Corps, later transferring to Starfleet service where he believed his skills could more directly benefit exploratory missions. Over the years, he has built a reputation as a calm but firm negotiator — someone who can bridge divides between Federation officers and alien delegates alike. His career has seen him posted to several starships and stations, where he has helped secure trade agreements, peace accords, and cultural exchanges.
