Reed, George

Commander George Reed, who commanded Starbase 6 in the 2260s, adopted the air of a cruise ship director when welcoming visiting officers, but in private, he was a brooding, intense man, frustrated by his inability to secure an assignment commanding a starship. His successes at Starbase 6, ironically, impeded his career: no visiting flag officer could imaging drinking at the station’s Crystal Bar without “good old George” warming a stool beside them.^[1]
