History:
Lance Williams was born on Earth to parents David and Nicole Williams. From an early age, he showed strategic aptitudes in childhood games such as Capture the Flag, and Laser Tag. He also earned respect for being a great chess player. Upon his seventeenth birthday, Lance applied to the Starfleet Marine Corps. After a two year officer training program, Lance was given his first assignment. He was stationed to Starbase 247 where he participated in many major ground campaigns against Cardassian forces during the Cardassian-Federation war. He then moved to the USS Phoenix under the command of Captain Ben Maxwell. After Maxwell's unfortuntate breakdown, Lance and his company of Marine recruits were transfered to USS Sutherland to participate in the Klingon Civil War under the command of Lt. Com.Data. For the next four years, Lance Williams had stayed aboard the Sutherland until the conflict with the Dominion broke out. He then requested transfer to the USS Lionheart.
Upon his transfer, he was given command of the 82nd Marine Detachment to the Lionheart. For the next year and a half, Lance worked alongside the Fleet officials. In 2376 he and the 8-2 were sent on an assignment aboard the USS Ticonderoga, a Starfleet Shadow Ops ship. During the course of the mission virtually the entire 8-2 was wiped out in combat against the Jem'Hadar.
Returning after the mission, which was a success despite the losses, Williams was assigned to head a new Marine force assigned permanently to USS Ticonderoga.
