Norman Dace is the commander and one of the last surviving members of the SFA-103 squadron when it was massacred by the Romulans at Wolf 359. Through experience Dace learned the important skill of dogfighting, a skill no longer taught by Starfleet instructors who see it as useless in modern combat. Dace has shown an innate ability to think outside the box; this skill saved his life. Dace currently serves as Deputy CAG and has largely taken over Dranzian Chavin's position at Ops.
