USS Galaxy
After graduating from the Academy Lieutenant Martin was offered a post as tactical officer and security officer of the USS Cairo (NCC-42136). He turned down the offer out of loyalty to his then-current Captain Roger Stearns, and because he was uncomfortable with the commanding officer of the Cairo.

During the war, Martin was the first officer of the USS Galaxy (NCC-70637). John took command of the Galaxy when Captain Stearns was killed in a battle with a Cardassian battle cruiser in sector 887 while on border patrol, forcing Lieutenant Martin to take command of the ship and order an evacuation due to the warp core on the verge of breaching.

After the Galaxy was towed back to Earth Spacedock for repairs Martin and half of the surviving crew were taken on different ships, as he was posted to the USS Kansas (NCC-30608) commanded by Captain Jane Mitchell, and kept fighting in the war.
