Beckett Mariner
Specie:
Human
Affiliation:
Federation Starfleet
Rank:
Lieutenant junior grade
Occupation:
Command division junior officer
Status:
Active (2381)
Father:
Alonzo Freeman
Mother:
Carol Freeman
Beckett Mariner was a female Human Starfleet officer who lived during the late 24th century.
Both of her parents served in positions of command in Starfleet: her mother (and later captain), Carol Freeman, attempted to keep a close eye on her activities aboard the USS Cerritos, while her father Alonzo Freeman was an admiral. Mariner has gained considerable experience and formidable skills as a Starfleet officer, but untreated survivor guilt from having to serve in the Dominion War almost right out of Starfleet Academy before she could recover from a friend being killed in action caused a serious psychological fear of the responsibilities of command that has impeded her career. As such, for all her professional accomplishments, she preferred to remain at the rank of Ensign and endeavored to keep herself there by deliberately engineering demotions and reckless behaviors with the outward veneer of an arrogantly defiant and self-destructive attitude that often brought her to the risk of court martial.

Tawny Newsome is know for playing Angela Ali in Netflix's Space Force, Ensign Beckett Mariner in Star Trek: Lower Decks, Gabby in IFC's Brockmire, and Chelsea Leight-Leigh in Pluto's Bajillion Dollar Properties. You may have also caught her in fun comedies like NBC's Superstore, IFC's Sherman's Showcase, and NBC's Perfect Harmony. She also hosts the Official Star Trek Podcast, Star Trek: The Pod Directive along with Paul F. Tompkins.
Before LA, she had mainly been writing and performing her work on the Second City Mainstage in Chicago, or touring around with her bands (Four Lost Souls, Jon Langford). As a longtime collaborator of Langford's, for years they've made quirky, outsider country music with a shifting lineup of performers. Recently they had the pleasure of recording an album in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, with some of the original Muscle Shoals Sound session players.
Her most recent project is a completely DIY rock record, made with fellow singer and longtime friend, Chicago indie darling Bethany Thomas. 'Material Flats' is a debut-for-the-two-of-them, 8 track, garage, punk, pop (with some alt-country splashes) fully independent album. She and Bethany co-wrote all of the tracks in June of 2020, whilst sheltering in place together in Tawny's home and studio in the Mojave desert. Tawny even engineered the record herself. It's a windy, weird, desert-punk album with a sweet side and an undercurrent of anxiety. Out everywhere October 9th 2020.
