| Strengths & Weaknesses | Kamarov's obvious strength is what is called situational awareness, or the ability know what is going on around you at all times. Maxim is a an officer who likes to see the elephant up close, not read about it in a safe command post. Maxim enjoys sharing danger with his subordinates, often inspiring them Another of Maxim's strength's is his willingness to lead by example. He will not ask anyone to do anything he won't do himself. If Maxim has a weakness, it could be described as being torn between his duty in the Starfleet Marines and his duty to his family. Maxim grew up in a traditional Russian home where he was instilled with strong family values by his grandmother and father. This has caused some friction in the past with his wife, but she now understands why he does what he does. Maxim believes in having troops that can think independently for themselves. If a situation changes on the battlefiled, each Marine must be able to carry out the mission using th eskill sets he has and the ability to utilize the skill sets of their fellow Marines. |
|
| Ambitions | Maxim's long ambition has been to design and implemet a rapid response Marine unit similar to those in the 21st Century's SOCOM in the United States military. Maxim ahs often voiced loud opinions about the need for a rapid-response unit within the Corps to deal with crises. This unit will be his chance to do just that. Maxim also wants to be a good father and husband. Kamarov knows that he has what it takes, but is low-key about it. He wants to be a general officer someday, but for the right reasons |

| Personal History | Maxim Kamarov, born March 23rd, 2341, was the second son of Iosef Kamarov, a noted Biochemical physicist and Polina Kamarova, a celebrated painter who died in the mysterious USS Churchill disaster. Young Kamarov grew up in St Petersburg, Russia where he was quiet, studious youth. He broke with family tradition and applied to the Starfleet Marine Academy and was accepted. He graduated 20th in his class. His Marine career began on the USS Merrimack. He was a nervous, shy officer until the first sergeant took the young Maxim under his wing and taught him how to lead men that loved to eat officers for lunch. Kamarov became an officer that earned both the respect of his superiors and subordinates. He made a note to keep First Sergeant Hanley Woodard as his NCOIC for future assignments. Maxim led his men through many engagements during the First Cardassian War, earning medals for bravery and valor, being slightly wounded three times. In 2371, Maxim met and married Natalya Koroleva. The couple gave up their honeymoon so Maxim could serve on the Indefatigable as ship’s control officer, helping to get Marines and pilots to and from hotspots. After the Dominion War ended and the Indefatigable was mothballed, Maxim and Natalya took a year long honeymoon, along with their eldest son, Feodr. After the War Maxim became the commander of Deep Space 12’s Marine Security Force, a new concept in Marine Command. The Marine Security Force was a security force capable of extended engagements with threat forces with training in counterterrorism and antiterrorism tactics and strategies. Maxim and his crew of Marines were vital during several deployments, negotiations, and sieges by threat forces over a two year period. Prior to leaving, he was given another commendation for heroism under fire, the result of saving the life of a Breen ambassador. Maxim was assigned to the USS Gettysburg, an assignment he thoroughly enjoyed. He was given carte blanche by Colonel Bryce Kendrick to create a prototype Rapid Deployment Force, an experiment that did not succeed until several “traditionalist” Marines were rooted out after knowingly sabotaging Kamarov’s efforts. Kamarov’s RDF was redesignated the 17th Marine Expeditionary Unit and was requested by Admiral Ricky Wegener to be garrisoned at Starbase 900. |
