History
Nicholas was born in Copernicus City on Earth's moon to Godfrey and Anna Hall on August 7th, 2341. His parents were both research scientists. Alexander Hall is his non-identical twin. They often argue, jokingly, about who was born first.Growing up on the moon, Nicholas' only exposure to a natural biosphere was his annual visits to visit his grandfather on Earth where he worked on his grandfather's commercial fishing boat for 3 months out of the year. It was from his grandfather that Nicholas gained his love of ships and from his parents that he acquired his interest in science. Rather than being interested in laboratory research, however, Nicholas became consumed with a desire to learn about living biospheres and alien civilizations. Nicholas attended college on Earth where he earned a masters degree in xeno-biology and anthropology. His first experience with Starfleet was an expedition to Ophiucus IV to study the nearly dead world's parallel evolution. Upon returning from the expedition a year later, Nicholas completed his doctoral degree and then applied to Starfleet Academy. After graduation, Nicholas served for over 3 years as a science officer on board the U.S.S. Ranger. The Ranger was among the ships that participated in the Battle of Tyra in January of 2374. The bridge of the Ranger sustained a direct hit, killing half of the bridge crew including the commanding officer. Ensign Hall assisted the first officer in regaining control of the ship and took over the tactical station. The first officer sited Hall's quick thinking as pivotal in the ship's survival. After the battle Hall was promoted to Lieutenant J.G. and transferred to tactical. Nicholas served the remainder of the war as the Ranger's tactical officer and was acting chief of security at the end of the war. However, Starfleet determined that Ranger's damage was beyond repair and the ship was decommissioned early in 2376. After the war, Nicholas was assigned as chief security/tactical officer of the U.S.S Stockholm. His cross-career skills made him a valuable asset and when the first officer was transferred in 2379, Lieutenant Hall assumed that position.
