Starfleet Captain Carol Freeman commanded the California class U.S.S. Cerritos NCC-75567 in the late 24th Century. Unbeknownst to the crew, one of the junior officers aboard the ship, Ensign Beckett Mariner, was also her daughter. On Stardate 57436.2, when the Cerritos crew was overcome by a rage virus, Freeman gave sole credit for finding a cure to Doctor T'Ana, ignoring the pivotal contributions of Ensigns Mariner and Boimler in her official log. On Stardate 57501.4, Freeman was extremely frustrated by a decision to move a diplomatic mission from Cardassia Prime to Vulcan, as it meant that she would be unable to attend, and had spent a considerable amount of time preparing for the mission, including learning how to engage in Cardassian small talk and dancing. Her attempts to enhance crew efficiency by eliminating "buffer time" in work schedules ultimately backfired, and resulted in the Cerritos being briefly overrun by hostile Gelrakians. Freeman served with a Tellarite Starfleet officer named Durango as early as 2364. From the start, she found him to be "boring," and their competitive relationship led to a disastrous incident while attempting to retrieve an alien generation ship. On Stardate 57601.3, Freeman successfully resolved a diplomatic crisis that had stalled the controlled demolition of the unstable fifth moon of Mixtus III, which threatened to ignite the planet's atmosphere and kill all life on the planet.
