Biographical Information

Tom is the son of Starfleet Admiral Owen Paris and Julia Paris. Tom is an exceptional shuttle pilot. When the pressures of living up to the family name resulted in tragedy, Paris enlisted with the renegade Maquis, only to be captured and imprisoned by Starfleet. Given a second chance by Captain Janeway, Paris is determined to prove his worth. Tom's interests include 20th century Earth history and automobiles, rock climbing, and holonovel programming.

In early 2371, Captain Kathryn Janeway enlisted the aid of Tom Paris, serving his sentence at the Federation Penal Settlement in New Zealand, to guide her ship through the Badlands to locate the Maquis ship commanded by Chakotay. In exchange for his help, he would be paroled. He was lost in the Badlands with U.S.S. Voyager NCC-74656, which was not heard from until 2374.

After U.S.S. Voyager was stranded in the Delta Quadrant, Captain Janeway gave Mr. Paris a field promotion to Lieutenant Junior Grade, reinstating his Starfleet rank before his discharge.

In 2375, he designed The Delta Flyer, a large warp-capable shuttle.

In mid-2375, in his eagerness to help Monean scientist Riga, he ignored the Prime Directive, disobeyed a direct order, stole the Delta Flyer and attempted to destroy a Monean oxygen processing plant. Captain Janeway demoted him to the rank of Ensign and sentenced him to 30 days in the brig. Rank of Lieutenant, junior grade was reinstated one year later.
