Jean-Luc Picard

Jean-Luc Picard was a Starfleet Officer, Archeologist and Diplomat who served during the later half of the twenty-fourth century.  He was born in La Barre, France on July 13, 2305.  He commanded three vessels in his career: USS Stargazer, USS Enterprise-D and the USS Enterprise-E.  Picard was a Captain for many years.　

Shortly upon graduation in 2327, Picard’s promising career almost ended when he was stabbed through his heart. He had to undergo immediate surgery to replace his heart so that he would not die.  This life and death experience taught him how to take risks and learn to understand how fragile life can be each day.  Captain Picard had many life and death scenarios he had to face throughout his whole Starfleet career.　

In 2355, the Stargazer was seriously damaged and it was later discovered that it was a Ferengi ship that was disabling it. Captain Picard used the Stargazer’s warp engines to disable the Ferengi attack.  This strategy was later named the Picard Manoeuver. As a result of this attack, Captain Picard and his crew were forced to abandon their ship.　

In 2364, Captain Picard was assigned command of the newly-commissioned Galaxy-Class Starship USS Enterprise-D, which was the most prestigious command in Starfleet.  Captain Picard was in command of the USS Enterprise for seven years.  This was one of Starfleet’s finest flag ships.  Captain Picard was one of the finest and most recognized leaders on Starfleet.
