Background
Kaycee Horton grew up on Earth, in a place called Santa Monica, California. She lost her father when she was 12. She and her mother fought constantly. Her aunt sent Kaycee to enrolled in High-Guard Academy as a pre-med student. She nearly flunked out her first year, not because she was academically deficient, but because she was so distracted by her wild ways. Eventually, she changed her ways and stayed at High-Guard Medical Academy. Kaycee graduated, and completed med school and her residency.

High Guard officer
In the season 1 of Ressurection, Kaycee Horton was trapped on board the SS Victory with Capt. Crusher and Cmdr. Laren when the ship was hijacked by Binars. Kaycee, along with her best friend and fellow officer, Lauren Johannson, was transferred to the USS Victory as the new medical officer where she remained until the destruction of the Victory. Kaycee was infected with a diesease that caused her to age rapidly. She was returned back to being 19 years old. She reunited with John McCloud and the two started dating. When Kaycee was approaching 21, Capt. Crusher felt it was nessary to give her a upper rank, so he promotes her to Commander. In the season 3 finale, on her first mission as commander, Kaycee helps Lt. Cmdr. Sega to save Crusher from the cyborgs. Kaycee became the only youngest High-Guard officer aboard the Victory after Lillian Crusher leaves for High Guard Medical Academy.
