Personal History		Linc's great-grandfather was an officer in Starfleet, as was his father (Stanley). His father was killed in an accidental warp core breach when he was only a boy. Some say the warp core breach was his father's fault, even though Starfleet cleared him of any wrongdoing in the incident. Linc was recognized as a stellar Starfleet officer while serving as a junior officer on Deep Space 5, where he met Julianna Troi while she was passing through on her way back to Betazed. Julianna, a second-cousin to Deanna, and Lincoln quickly fell in love during her one-week visit to DS5. But because of the distance between them, no further relationship was possible until Julianna and Linc ran into one another while attending a conference hosted on Andoria. Even though the conference only lasted 4 days, the two married while on Andoria. Once married, Julianna moved to DS5 to live with Linc. The two were quickly blessed with a boy (Ford) after a year, and then a girl (Catalina) two years later. During a late visit to the promenade to enjoy dessert, Julianna and Ford were taken hostage by Naussicaans. They were put aboard the Nausicaan pirate vessel and taken from DS5. The ship was pursued by Federation ships and destroyed in a firefight killing all who were aboard. Linc blames the Federation for their deaths to this day. Since their deaths, Linc has been known to anger more quickly in the face of Federation red tape when it comes to safety and operations. He has committed himself to the safety, and future of his daughter, Catalina.
