Leonard McCoy

Leonard H. McCoy is a legend among Starfleet Medical. Born in the city of Atlanta on Sol III, McCoy proved a medical genius, completing coursework at the University of Mississippi and medical school in near-record time.

In the wake of a failed marriage, McCoy joined Starfleet and served at a variety of postings before being assigned to the USS Enterprise in the 2260s, succeeding Philip Boyce as chief medical officer. Shortly thereafter, the Enterprise began her storied 2266-70 five year mission under Captain Kirk. During the course of the mission, McCoy made numerous breakthroughs and saved the lives of many of the Enterprise's crew on multiple occasions. The CMO's lively temper and earthy, practical wisdom made him a memorable figure in the minds of nearly everyone who interacted with the Enterprise command team during those years.

Over the course of the late 23rd century, McCoy led an active life, his path frequently crossing and re-crossing with his old friends from the 2266 mission as he served for extended periods aboard the Enterprise and Enterprise-A. He moved to a staff position in the wake of the Khitomer Accords, acting not only in his formal capacity but in an informal role through which he helped stabilize and guide the consolidation of Starfleet Medical. McCoy's experience and connections helped him work behind the scenes to preserve many of its programs and hospital ship operations in the face of a rapid and chaotic drawdown of Starfleet assets.

Dr. McCoy rose to prominence once again during the Biophage Crisis, in which he played a pivotal role as head of Starfleet Medical's research department...
