Peters quickly rose in rank to eventually become second in command of the U.S.S. Patton (SCA-703) – a position he grew to hate at first, due to his commanding officer Captain Krauer.

Peters often referred to himself as Krauer’s verbal and emotional punching-bag, he would have requested a transfer were it not for Captain Ellis Webster.

After Major John Caine transferred off the Patton in 2297, Webster assumed the role of acting Air Wing Commander. Webster and Peters became friends and it was Webster who encouraged him to stay on as the ship’s X.O.

Peters is a logical and patient man, his patience is what helps him keep his cool while being under Krauer’s thumb, when he first took his assignment he was the third X.O. on the Patton in under a year.
