Coin Story
William T. Riker was born 19 August, 2335 in Valdez, Alaska, Earth. After winning admission to the Academy, Riker began acquiring his lifelong reputation for unorthodox solutions.
His mission on Betazed ended in 2362 with a posting that would launch a rapid rise in his career. Sent to the U.S.S. Potemkin in 2362 as a lieutenant, his successful, although often unorthodox, decisions led to a promotion and a switch from operations to command division, where he eventually became first officer of the U.S.S. Hood. From there, he was promoted to commander and picked sight unseen by Jean-Luc Picard as his first officer on the new Galaxy-class U.S.S. Enterprise.
Riker grew so satisfied with his assignment under Picard, who quickly dubbed him “Number One” according to old Terran naval parlance, that he subsequently twice turned down two more commands of his own to stay on the Enterprise.
