John Franklin

Leadership on the Planet Boron
John Franklin was the leader of the Planet Boron from the dates 2357 through 2371. He took control of the colony on Boron after his father had passed away. The duty to lead the colony fell into the hands of John himself. He led the colony as best as he could but the Cardassians started giving him trouble during his last year. They started ransacking the colonies, and beating the colonist. John did not fight back, instead he let his people be beaten for he did not want to fight with the Cardassians that were there. He sent a distress signal to the Federation telling them that the Cardassians had been on the planet, which was a violation of the Federation Cardassian Treaty. The Federation decided to send a few ships to the area, to patrol the border. The USS Victoria was sent to the planet to help evacuate the colonist. It was the Victoria's 1st mission since she left the drydocks at earth. The ship arrived at Boron and Franklin got in contact with Captain Weston Berchtold. They agreed on beaming up all of the colonist onto the USS Victoria but John requested that Dr. Burton would be sent to the surface to help give medical care to the injured. Captain Weston Berchtold agreed, and sent an away team down with Dr. Burton. John had the away team protect the colony as the colonist were being beamed up. Once all of the colonist were beamed up, John and the away team beamed up. The ship was attacked by a Cardassian ship, Galor Class. The Victoria made it to Deep Space 9, where John and the colonist were sent to the station, where they would wait to be relocated.
