Dave Coombes

Dave's one of life's "take it easy" guys. So much so that he didn't even realise that he'd enlisted for Starfleet until he was declared AWOL and a security team was sent out to bring him back to the academy. (He thought he'd been signing a petition to end the mistreatment of humans of over 6 foot height.) Once in the Academy, it was discovered that whilst not actually stupid, Dave spent most of his days drifting through life as though nothing really mattered. (Which when you're three times the size of a normal guy, nothing actually does matter, except finding shoes that fit.)

He'd been drifting from posting to posting, always in security and always front line (When on landing parties, anyone who might've been looking to notch up a few 'Redshirt' kills promptly forgot about bravery or honour. Even fully enraged Klingon warriors cowered in fear, not of the big man himself, but his flatulance was legendary across the three big powers of the galaxy.) Eventually, he came to the notice of the Admiral in charge of the USS Devonshire project, who simply thought he looked too large to take up three spaces on any other ship of the fleet and immediately promoted the giant to head of security aboard the delapidated ship.

To date, Dave's managed to terrify five of his crewmates, recruit the only live sniffer dog in the fleet to the ship, tackle an entire battalion of Klingon warriors, manually handle a Vampire invasion of his ship, investigate the death of a crewmate, scale Big Ben singlehanded and bungee jump from the London Eye. Not bad for a Devonshire farm boy....
