Born to the family of a mining concern in the Vega system, Hondo was raised amongst some of the most rogue elements that lie within Federation space. He entered the academy at a relatively late age of 23 in the Earth year 2246.
However he graduated within two years, a feat that has not been surpassed since.
Having only recently attained command of the USS Love Machine, Captain Hondo has fought throughout the General War and ISC War of Pacification with distinction and high praise from his peers and superiors. Personally Captain Hondo has been decorated by Starfleet Command for gallantry in combat, and has recieved the Medal of Honour with clusters, the Legion of Honour and the Star Cross. (ed
note-exactly the same at Lt Cmdr Data from TNG btw... )
It is interesting to note that the USS Love Machine was named by drunken Academy students who broke into the Federation ship registry database during a wild frat party in 2261. By the time this discrepency had been noticed, the
ship was already due to be commissioned and changing it’s name was thus impossible.
New information has also come to light regarding Captain Hondo’s late start at Starfleet Academy. It appears that he ran away from home at the age of 16, serving as a mercenary of sorts upon several starships in the Crimson Shadow pirate cartel, a cartel otherwise known as the Klingon House of Korgath. Intel from various sources suggests that Captain Hondo may have served on ships even in the Klingon military itself. Captured by Federation intelligence agents when visiting his parents, Hondo was given two choices, join Starfleet and share his knowledge
of Klingon tactics, or face a length prison term. He picked the former and has since become a formidable captain.

Captain Hondo’s fighting style is best described as brash,
with all the flair of his famous counterpart, Captain James T. Kirk. In three short years Captain Hondo has turned the USS Love Machine from a laughing stock into a
name to be feared. Any potential opponent would be wise to remember that.
