Personal History
Before the Borg incursion of the United Federation of Planets, the USS Enterprise-D encountered (as a result of intervention by a member of the Q Continuum) a Borg Cube in System J-25, 7000 light-years away from Federation territory. This encounter alerted Starfleet to the incoming Borg threat. Work on defense and offensive means to stop the Borg began, led by Lieutenant Commander Shelby. This work included means of advancing effectiveness of phasers and weaponry and developing new weapons, along with Federation defensive outposts. When the Borg arrived in Federation space, Shelby was assigned to the Enterprise for Borg tactical advice.
When the Enterprise encountered a Borg Cube in Federation Space, Shelby was called to duty. She accompanied Admiral Hanson to the Enterprise where she assisted the Enterprise crew in adapting weaponry and defenses to stop the Borg. Shelby hoped to become first officer, which Hanson suggested to Picard, but Riker intended to stay rather than accept his own command; Shelby rankled at the "blockade" to her career.
Most of the weapon enhancement plans failed, for the Borg adapted to many of the Enterprise's plans. When Captain Jean-Luc Picard was assimilated by the Borg, Commander William Riker took command of the Enterprise and Shelby became the first officer. Working together, Riker and Shelby were able to retrieve Picard and stop the Borg threat.
After the Borg incursion, Shelby was assigned to Starfleet Headquarters in order to rebuild the depleted Federation fleet. In 2368 she is assigned to the USS Chekov under Captain Morgan Korsmo as First Officer. In 2372 she is reassigned to the USS Excalibur under her former lover and rival Mackenzie Calhoun.
With Admirals Picard and Jellico having been replaced by Changelings and Ross and Korsmo not trusted Captain Kirk was promoted to Commodore and assigned to the fleet. Shelby was promoted to Captain and transferred to the Prometheus to serve as Commodore Kirk's First Officer and to command the ship when Kirk is forced to remain behind. When Kirk was demoted after the sliding incident Elizabeth was given her own command in the new Yeager class USS daVinci.
Before the sliding mission Elizabeth was impregnated by her on again off again lover Mackenzie Calhoun. She gave birth prematurely because the labor was on set. Thankfully they slide into a universe where time moved faster and it was the year 2397 so the former drone Seven of Nine was able to save the child. Unfortunetly there was a side effect to Seven's methods and he was fully grown in a day (appears to be 19). Upon returning to her universe she learns that Calhoun was killed by an unknown assiliant on the station.
