Michael Kellye is a nurse who has served on the USS Brahe since 2418.

Born in Honolulu, Michael showed an early interest in medical science. With the support of his parents, he pursued many early academic fields on the subject, completing two years of college before the conclusion of his secondary schooling.

He was well on his way to a career as a doctor when tragedy struck: a failure of the weather control station allowed a storm to ravage nearby Kauaʻi. Already two years into the Academy, the cadet joined rescue teams on the island.

After supporting the rescue and relief efforts, Kellye returned to the Academy with a desire to switch to the nursing program. He offered little explanation for this sudden change, only stating that nursing better aligned with his values and goals.

Kellye excelled in the nursing program, completing his studies in 2418 and was posted on the USS Brahe that year.
