For the next six months, Ecaris serves as a security officer on DS9 and is promoted to Lieutenant junior grade while waiting for a posting to another starship.

2371 A.D. - Ecaris travels back to Earth to be posted to the USS Voyager NCC 74656 under the command of Captain Kathryn Janeway.

Later, when the federation loses the system back to the Dominion, Ecaris and his men are trapped planetside. The hunters now become the hunted. They engage the dominion in guerilla warfare; hit and run strikes, sabotage, assassination, raiding supply depots, gathering intelligence. By the time the Federation alliance take Chin'toka system back, Ecaris has lost 80% of his men. They are in no condition to join the final push to Cardassia Prime.

2376 A.D. - Ecaris is promoted to Captain and is given command of a Prometheus class starship, The USS New York NCC 74915.

2379 A.D. - The New York is caught in an unstable wormhole with a huge phase and temporal variance. Ecaris and his crew are transported to a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.

c. 1100 B.B.Y. - The New York is a drift. She has lost a third of her crew. A republic cruiser carrying a jedi and her padawan rescues Ecaris and the other survivors of the New York just before her warp core breaches and destroyes the ship. The cruiser transports the survivors to Coruscant. On the voyage, the jedi realizes that Ecaris is force sensitive. She takes him to the jedi temple where the council eventaully decices that Ecaris will be trained to become a jedi. Ecaris becomes apprentice of a young jedi knight ( for a 14 hundred year old padawan, give or take a decade or so, everybody is young) Arc Nimbus. The relationship is an unusual one. Arc Nimbus teaches Ecaris the ways of the force and in lightsabre combat. Ecaris, having been a veteran of numerous conflicts, trained in the ways of the warriors and a starfleet captain, teaches Arc Nimbus in the more subtle art of war and the finer points of diplomacy,......knowledge that most jedi do not possess and in some cases, do not wish to. After becoming a jedi knight, Ecaris is frequently teamed up with his former master, Arc Nimbus on missions. Along with another jedi knight, Rawm Gaddis, the three become something of a maverick jedi team. They are assigned the more difficult missions and accomplish them in unconventional ways.

c. 1000 B.B.Y. “ Ecaris joins Lord Hoth's Army of Light in battling Lord Kaan's Brotherhood of Darkness. He fights in most of the major battles on Ruusan. He is evacuated along with the other injured jedi off planet right before the final Battle of Ruusan. - After serving as a jedi for several decades and after most of his former crewmates from the New York have become one with the force, Ecaris feels the need to go home. ( one motivation is he wants to take his new powers and knowledge as a jedi in the fight against the borg) He embarks on another quest for knowledge, technology or power to help him get home. He goes to Ossus, Dantooine, Dxun, Korriban, Malachor V, Tython, Rusaan, Yavin 4, Zoist, Rakata Prime and so on... While on an unknown planet in the unknown regions, Ecaris finds a dark orb that seem to contain infinite points of light with in. This artifact is able to transport him anywhere, anytime, any verse. He, however, doesn't know how to control it. He now finds himself going from universe to universe. (it was around this time that Ecaris' quest becomes an obssession and causes him to fall to the dark side) At some point the artifact opens a portal to Ecaris' home, he is then faced with the choice of going home or saving an innocent from certain death. Ecaris chooses the path of the jedi. This is the beggining of his journey back to the light. He continues to travel the different verses as a jedi looking for his own universe, helping those in need, protecting the innocent, righting wrongs, all the while hoping the next leap will be the leap home.

During his travels through the verses, Ecaris.......
