General Overview

Starfleet Deputy CnC of Starfleet.

Personal History		As a lieutenant, Nakamura served aboard the USS Reliant along with Ensign Jean-Luc Picard. While there, Nakamura voiced his strong views to Picard about snap inspections and the admirals who pulled them. In 2365, he was assigned as sector commander and posted to the newly-commissioned Starbase 173. Despite his original reservations about them, he conducted a snap inspection of the USS Enterprise-D during its visit to the starbase. Nakamura agreed with Starfleet's ultimately unsuccessful plan to have Commander Bruce Maddox disassemble Lieutenant Commander Data for research. In 2370, he invited Picard to the annual Starfleet Admirals' Banquet at Starbase 219. Nakamura was hoping that he and Picard would have a chance to discuss Picard's new mission orders before the banquet. However, following the delay of the Enterprise-D, their meeting was delayed.
Service Record		By 2367 Nakamura commanded Starbase 219. That year, Lt. Commander Erika Benteen was assigned to the starbase as operations manager. The following year she was promoted to commander and accepted a position as Admiral Nakamura's adjutant aboard the base. In 2378, Nakamura ordered Captain Montgomery Scott to send a Starfleet Corps of Engineers team to evaluate Lt. Cmdr Data eventually ordering Scotty to remove Data's emotion chip. Scotty strongly protested Nakamura's decision even resorting to some rather unprofessional name-calling. In 2379, Admiral Nakamura was one of five Starfleet admirals who along with Captain Jean-Luc Picard and Ambassador Lagan Serra decided the fate of Federation President Min Zife after the disastrous Tezwan affair. Nakamura pressed especially hard for the position that nothing about the Federation's involvement with the nadion-pulse cannons or Tezwa could ever be made public. The group decided to force Zife, Koll Azernal, and Nelino Quafina to step down but not to reveal to anyone where the weapons had come from. A short time later, Nakamura, along with Admiral Ross, and Admiral Nechayev confronted Zife with their threat and watched as agents of Section 31 came to escort Zife, Azernal, and Quafina away. Later that year, Nakamura had the Enterprise put on the list of ships to receive detailed inspections from Starfleet Command. Admiral William Ross suspected that Nakamura concocted the entire inspection tour as an excuse to give Captain Jean-Luc Picard a thorough going-over. Captain Montgomery Scott had noticed that Admiral Nakamura appeared to be putting only people who had a grudge against Enterprise officers on the tour, so he asked Ross to help him get the fourth and last spot on the inspection team. Scott could not simply ask Namakura for the spot after how he had behaved toward Nakamura only a few months before. In 2381, during that year's Borg crisis, Nakamura was part of a meeting at Starfleet Command which included Admirals Hastur and Nechayev as well as Federation government officials Jas Abrik and Seven of Nine. Nakamura commented that their forces were too spread out, and was confident in the effectiveness of the transphasic torpedo, even though Seven of Nine argued that the Borg would eventually adapt. He, along with Admirals Jellico and Nechayev, monitored the attacks on Vulcan, Andor, Coridan III, Rigel, and Qo'noS from the secure bunker in Starfleet Command Headquarters. Promoted to the position of Starfleet Deputy CnC of Starfleet in 2384.
