Hal Cassidy

Hal Cassidy is the leader of the Reconnaissance Operations and Covert Action Section (ROCAS), commonly known as the Rooks. Assigned to the USS Sirius, he often assumes command of the USS Alhabor to undertake expert missions requiring the deployment of a small team of specialists. Despite his long history with Starfleet Intelligence spanning over a decade and a half, and his experience of the Dominion War, Cassidy’s career began and initially flourished as an anthropologist and first contact specialist. Since Mars, he has become a part of Starfleet’s security apparatus, serving in and leading special operations units on assignments to protect Federation interests and safety. His gruff, no-nonsense manner and refusal to play politics has seen his career plateau, but Cassidy remains trusted enough with fieldwork to be given wide latitude and considerable discretion in decision-making. As such, from the Alhabor, he and his team are expected to resolve missions often in whatever way they see fit – a liberty that will likely be revoked should it become a headache for Starfleet Intelligence or, worse, Command.
