. Personality
Jorah Gale considers himself a product a new generation of Bajoran and Terran blood, born out the aftermath of the smoke and horror of the Cardassian Occupation and the Dominion Wars. He considers the loss of his father to be a driving force in why he joined Starfleet. He was a hot head and cocky combat pilot coming out of the Academy. He was reckless and loose with his first squadron to the point he nearly lost his Starfleet commission after repeated incidents with arguing with superior officers. War within the Alpha Quadrant became a sobering catalyst turning Gale into a model Starfleet officer. Death and loss of past shipmates have taught him far more about life than the Academy ever could prepare him for. As Gale accepts his latest billet on the USS Nike, he carries a deep spiritual affinity for the Prophets, commonly worshipped on Bajor, along with a firm belief for what the Federation stands for. He is still a bit of a hothead, still will brag he can fly anything with a engine and a stick, but he no longer openly defies the chain of command. He rarely backs down from a challenge and loves a good poker game. He is very protective over those who can't defend themselves. Spends free time socializing, performing maintainance on his attack fighter, rock climbing, and playing in holo recreations of historical battles.
History
2376 - Bajor joins the Federation
2379 - Gale's parents both worked aboard and met on Deep Space Nine. Gale's father was a Lieutenant named Dante serving aboard a passing ship heading into the Gamma Quadrant. Gale's mother, Jorah Aroya was a Bajoran Ranjen, serving at the Temple.
2380 - Gale born in Rakantha Province, Bajor. Shortly after news came back that the ship carrying Dante had vanished in the Gamma Quadrant under mysterious circumstances.
2398 - Joins Starfleet Academy (Formostly trained in small craft combat, starfighter/zero gravity/close quarters, with a healthy side education in starfighter/shuttle engineering and basic combat triage)
2402 - Graduated from Starfleet Academy, assigned to the "Tribbles" aboard USS Venture (Galaxy Class NCC-71854).
2402 USS Venture was deployed along the neutral zone when the Romulan insurrection began under Sela. Participated in several neutral zones skirmishes against Romulan and Reman rebels. Served brig time due to insubordiance however outstanding pilot record.
2403 A large Hirogen pack lured the Venture into the Neutral Zone by faking distress signal of a Federation vessel. Part of the ship was overtaken and the crew had to fight to retake the ship. Gale piloted a squad of Marines to one of the Hirogen ships where it was infiltrated and turned against the rest of the Hirogen Fleet. Once the Venture was recovered, Gale's squadron neutralized the remaining Hirogen until the fled back into Romulan space. Several of Gale's comrades perished in the battle. Remaining squadron was left about about one third strength. Promoted to Lieutenant JG.
2405-2407 - USS Venture was fresh out of the yards when war with the Klingons broke out. The "Tribbles" were involved in several conflicts against Klingon Bird of Preys, mostly providing escorts for diplomatic and civilian vessels of crucial importance to the Federation. During one of these conflicts, the Venture was leading an assault against a Klingon invasion fleet. Gale's starfighter was damaged and crash landed on an "L" Class planet. The ship was beyond repair so Gale evaded Klingon squads for 7 days before managing to escape aboard a Ferrengi vessel supplying arms to the Klingons. As luck would have it, the Ferrengi docked a neutral station where Gale was able to arrange for transporation back to the USS Venture. With Gale's information the Federation was quickly able to limit the Ferrengi means to supply arms in the region. Promoted to Lieutenant.
2408 - Assigned to USS Nike for duty.

Sample Role Play
The conflict over the Class "L" X-710 was a full blown mess. The USS Venture was leading a fleet attack against a Klingon invasion fleet. The "Tribbles" were taking losses against Klingon forces.
Gale moved his fingers quickly across the computer grid before him, grimancing in pain as his ship lurches violently taking yet another volley of disruptor fire from the bird of prey chasing him.
Computer: "Warning Shields at 15%, Weapons offline"
Growling in frustration he put out another call to his squadron "This is Tribble Five, I've got a bird on my six and taking heavy fire! Weapons down! Can anyone read me?!?"
"Tribble Five this is Tribble Leader, vector off 45 degrees starboard and *STATIC HISSING ENSUES*"
Computer: "Communications are no longer functioning"
Gale made the attempt to follow the last transmissions from the CAG. After making the course corrections he was greeting with a full view of X-710. He had just a moment to enjoy the view before greeting with another disrupter blast from the rear sending a shower of sparks over him.
Computer: "Warning shields are down."
Thanks for the obvious, Gale thought to himself. Another hit will destroy this vessel... only chance is to try to get into the atmosphere of the planet and try to evade his Klingon persuer.
"Computer, Reroute all power including life support to the engines"
Computer "Acknowledged"
He strapped himself to the chair and pressed a few buttons on the control console, pressing back into his seat as the fighter began to pick up additional speed. He was focused now, dodging and rolling out of the way of disruptor fire. The turbulence increased increased as his fighter screamed into the atmosphere violently shaking as he dived down to the surface of the planet. He manuevered into the nearest cloud over to cover his decent, only to narrowly missed a crowning summit of a mountain peak which the Klingons persuing were not so lucky to avoid. The proximity of the explosion was enough to send Gale's ship into a tailspin.
Computer: "Warning hull breach aft, power systems failing in 15 seconds, *garbled voice ensues as computer dies*"
Gale struggled to breath against the low atmosphere as he started to blackout. His last thought as the ground rushed up to meet him was "Prophets guide me."
