Family Profile:
The Veld family, while one cannot say is one of Star Fleet's oldest, has emerged
as one of Star Fleet's most prominent. Conrad's father, Charles, retired a
Vice Admiral; his daughter, Caylebreth, is currently the Commanding Officer
of the USS CIRCE. Conrad's wife, Melinda, also served in Star Fleet until
their marriage; retiring eliminated the question of a personal conflict coming
into play while the then-CAPT Conrad Veld was CO of USS ODYSSEY.
While Conrad has no other children aside from Cayle, he does have a few nieces
and nephews who currently serve in Star Fleet: CDR Samuel ("Sam") Carstairs
(who, ironically, replaced Cayle for a short time after her abduction as XO
of DS13) and his brother, Richard Jr., son of Melinda Veld's brother Richard;
and Callista ("Cal") Veld, daughter of COL Kenneth Veld (deceased) of the
Star Fleet Marine Corps.
Conrad enjoys the friendship of ADM John R. Brooks, former CINCSF and current
CINCGOLD. The Brooks and Veld families have enjoyed a closeness since the
days when the elder Veld was a midshipman in the Academy. In fact, it was
Brooks who, as CINCSF, gave Conrad his first flag appointment as Commander,
Public Affairs.
In recent years, the Velds have also forged a close bond with the Sharpe family,
anothe rof Star Fleet's more prominent families. This bond, however, does
not date back 40+ years as the Veld/Brooks friendship does; this one began
when Cayle was assigned to DS13 as XO and befriended a young Marine CO fresh
out of the Academy, then-2LT Molly sharpe. Shortly thtereafter, Conrad chose
Molly's father, then-COL Richard Sharpe, as his Deputy Commander of Public
Affairs. Since that time, the families have grown almost as close as blood
relatives.
