The Command History of FADM Samuel Cummings of Maquis Forces International...

MNAS Detroit (2003-2004)

MNAS Detroit

Commander Cummings' first assignment, Maquis Naval Air Station Detroit was commissioned by Force Admiral Gary Davis; the base was established to coordinate Maquis activity covertly on an unnamed planet. The base was named after the home city of Cummings.

MFI Academy, College of Science (2003)

Upon taking command of the Academy's Science College, Then-Captain Cummings restructured the College with new coursework, research and exploration missions before earning a promotion to the Commandant of the Academy.

MFI Academy (2003-2004)

Maquis Forces International Academy

The newly promoted Commodore Cummings assumed command of the MFI Academy upon the retirement of Admiral Mary Kerns. Over the next year, Commodore Cummings restructured the Academy, introducing several new programs that remain, including a numbering system for courses and the first long-term complete online testing solution, which reduced the workload on the Academy staff.

MFS Constellation (2004)

MFS Constellation, NAR-18934

MFS Constellation, destroyed

MFS Constellation was the first ship command for Cummings. Constellation was an Oberth class light science and medical relief vessel with a minimum crew compliment, more geared for scientific exploration and emergency relief equipment. The MFS Constellation was destroyed during an accident of a classified nature which claimed the lives of most of the crew.

Computer Operations (2004-2006)

Computer Operations Headquaters

Before coming to the Computer Operations, Cummings was granted the rank of Rear Admiral. Arriving as the relief well deserved of Vice Admiral Robertson, Cummings brought the same radical changes as he had in his former commands. While the exact location of the Computer Operations Campus was made classified for security purposes, almost the entire campus facility is buried deep within a mountain range on a Class-L planet. The barren, frozen wasteland of the planet provides a secure and protective environment, the geothermal energy gives the Computer Operations Campus facilities virtually unlimited energy and heat resources. He began restructuring the Computer Operations Department, breaking up assigned duties, so that in the event of an incapacity, the website and other CompOps operations would not falter because of its necessity to the overall organization. Cummings served in this capacity for nearly two years before becoming Vice International Coordinator.

MFI Vice International Coordinator (2006-2007)

Empok Nor, MFI Headquarters

Rear Admiral Cummings took over for Admiral Laura Hartwell as the fourth Vice International Coordinator, acting as the second in command of MFI, receiving a promotion to the rank of Vice Admiral. As the Chief Executive of the Branches of MFI, Vice Admiral Cummings' first major project was tp oversee the reconstruction of the Maquis Forces Marine Corps, headed by General Trentin Anara. Cummings worked as the Commander and liasons of the Branches of Maquis Forces International.

MFS Parallax (2004 - Current)

USS Parallax, NCC-74657

MFS Parallax, MFI-RC-74657

Originally commissioned as a STARFLEET vessel, the Parallax was commandeered by Captain Samuel Cummings, also serving in STARFLEET, using it both for STARFLEET and secretly for Maquis purposes, with a handful of key officers working with him. The Intrepid-class Parallax was decommissioned by STARFLEET after the Dominion War, because of the damage it had sustained, but a vessel that was originally slated to become the USS Bonhomme Richard was renamed the MFS Parallax in honor of its former sister ship. Later, he completely left STARFLEET, with the Parallax, recommissioning it the MFS Parallax upon becoming the International Coordinator and Commander-in-Chief of the Maquis. MFS Parallax continues to serve as Admiral Cummings' vessel and the flagship of the Maquis. A heavy carrier, it was uniquely modified to hold several Ju'Day class and Peregrine class fighters and raiders, with an overall crew of 550.

MFI International Coordinator (2007 - Current)

MFS Parallax, the Flagship of Maquis Forces International

In the second election in MFI's history, Vice Admiral Cummings became the second Intetnational Coordinator in 2007 in a solemn, private ceremony, where he was granted the rank of Force Admiral, becoming the de-facto Commander-in-Chief of the entire organization. While Empok Nor is the Heaquarters of the organization, Force Admiral Cummings usually remains on the Flagship, allowing him to be mobile and able to respond to any needs of the Maquis, wherever they may be. Billed as the 24th century Maquis answer to the Federation's "Air Force One," the Parallax is a heavily modified Nebula class vessel billed perfectly for use as the Flagship of MFI.
