LCDR Samson was orphaned in an air-car accident at age 5 and adopted by friends of her parents. She attended Starfleet Academy at age 17 where she attended colonization school.

Her first tour of duty was on a terraforming station on Slater's World where her experiences with the work crews left her with a disdain for civilians. Her next tour was as a Mission Ops officer on the U.S.S. Yasaba NCC-55783. In 2365, the Yasaba was destroyed by a Cardassian warship during the Battle of Kalneth IX, and Samson spent 6 weeks in a lifepod with 5 other survivors whom she rescued from the wreckage at risk to her own life. She suffers from claustrophobia as a result of the extended trauma.

After treatment and counseling, she was assigned to the colonization team on Gavra III, where she met Lt. Lund. She spent three years as Mission Ops officer on the U.S.S. Crazy Horse NCC-50446 before being assigned to Dyson Base. Note: Dyson Base is officially rated as a department head's billet under Starbase 21.

Personality & Appearance
Delilah Samson is an attractive, strong-featured woman with pale skin and short, dark hair. She is somewhat sensitive about her name, and is slow to make friends.

Author's Notes
LCDR Samson could be used in most Starfleet campaigns as a Mission Ops Department Head, coordinating and supervising Away Team missions. Leading such a mission could involve interacting with civilian colonists or having to confront her fear of enclosed spaces during, for instance, a landslide.
