Tim Watters

Tim Watters was Captain of the USS Okinawa. He was a protege of James Leyton, and his official image was one of an exemplary officer in the vein of James Kirk. He was awarded a number of medals and accolades as part of this image.

In reality, Watters' overconfidence and bravado both in himself and his crew lead his crew into unnecessary danger, and frequently caused avoidable casualties and problematic incidents. His failures were covered up, and his succeses were largely exaggerated or wholly fabricated. His awards and honors only served to expand his ego and worsen these problems.
