Over the years, I've made a long list of what I consider interesting and vibrant characters, each with their own backstories and quirks that make them seem almost human, despite being the product of the imagination of one. From my first to my most recent, being updated as they come, I'm listing every single one that I can root out from the recesses of both my mind and the forums, lining them up as a reminder of just how far my creativity has come here in Disco.
Bear in mind, some of these characters are based on content outside of Disco. I'll note it where applicable, but they're rather few and far between.

William Reginald Sutton III
Date-of-Birth: January 9th, 797 A.S.
Birthplace: Pimbleton, Planet New London, Bretonia space
Eye Color: Grey
Hair Color: Black
Home: Derby Heights, Planet New London, Bretonia space
Occupation: Commander - Bretonian Armed Forces / 'Teabassador' (Unofficially)
William Sutton was born a rather unassuming man in a small town not far from Gravesend, to the south of the Greater City of New London Center. An avid enjoyer of tea from nearly his first month of life, William would grow up a rather unassuming man, following a process he calls 'tea directory' from a fairly early age, using tea as a guide to build his life. To the amazement of those around him, and even his own parents, this absurd methodology lead him to years of college study, mostly in the art of the brew, as well as useful associate instruction such as physics and geology.
After college, William followed the tea once more, enlisting with the Armed Forces during the height of the Gallic Invasion, and quickly earned a name for himself as the Navy's premier tea quartermaster, and bestowing himself the moniker of 'teabassador'. The 'tea directory' from then onwards merely continued pointing towards the Armed Forces, confirming that William had indeed found his calling. With his mastery in the brew, and ample command potential, Bretonia beat back the Gallic menace, and even when they encroached upon his home of New London, William never let up with the high-grade tea-based munitions. It's fair to say, and in some circles even confirmed, that Bretonia would have fallen wholly had it not been for William's proficiency with tea supply.
Despite numerous reassignments, as well as his replacement as tea quartermaster, William never relented, and continues to serve Bretonia's enemies the brew at temperatures just hot enough to cause tongue blisters, but cool enough to still feel the bitterness of the leaves.
His personal tea of choice is Curacao Earl Grey.

Julia Copper
Date-of-Birth: September 9th, 803 A.S.
Birthplace: Keswick, Planet Cambridge, Cambridge system
Eye Color: Lilac
Hair Color: Copper Brown
Home: 5886 Westminster St., Judith Abbey, New London
Occupation: Constable - Bretonian Police Authority
Julia Copper is a backline officer for the Bretonia Police Authority. Born and raised in Bretonia, she is as national as they tend to come, rocking the accent and attitude of the location she calls home. Fresh out of High School, she attended Cambridge University, majoring in law and criminal psychology as well as minoring in foreign studies. These degrees, of which she has the three plus an associates in 'Kalibrah Studies', have proven immensely useful in her duties to the Police Authority.
While her life beyond work is the fairy typical Bretonian story, her short relationship with an Armed Forces Commander helped spark it somewhat during his tenure with the main fleet. After a while, though, they grew detached, but they are still known to converse with one another.

Rochelle Holland
Date-of-Birth: October 2nd, 792 A.S.
Birthplace: Leicester, Planet New London, Bretonia Space
Eye Color: Brown
Hair Color: Blonde
Home: H.M.S. Rodney
Occupation: Captain - Bretonian Armed Forces
A very patriotic servant of the Queen, Holland is a fairly old but unknown member of the Armed Forces' secondary fleet. Having served on gunboats for the majority of her career, she never truly got much of the spotlight she really deserved, but her humble desire to simply serve her country never made any of it bother her, and by the time she was instated as the captain of the "Nelson"-class battleship H.M.S. Rodney, she was to a point where the ship would need to endure her desire to make the Queen proud. Luckily for her, the ship itself is sturdy enough to withstand the enemies of the Crown, and her attitude reflects the sheer force the ship can dish out.
A true Bretonian to the heart, and an avid reader of older British texts and material, Rochelle is true to her roots, and serves as an undying node of Bretonian courage and determination. Few have seen her turn away from a fight, and none have seen her at her worst, but any and all under her command have bore witness to her fighting spirit, the will to go on and do everything for Queen and country.

Arthur G. O'Doyle
Date-of-Birth: September 9th, 783 A.S.
Birthplace: Vispyth, Planet Leeds, Bretonia space
Eye Color: Brown
Hair Color: Brown
Home: Forest Lawn, Planet Cambridge
Occupation: Business Owner, ANFO Industries, Ltd.
Arthur G. O'Doyle was born and raised on Planet Leeds, son to an investor with large shares in Border Worlds Exports and Bretonia Mining and Manufacturing. Despite this high point, he spent much of his early adulthood working mining for BMM on Leeds, soon outgrowing the nation firm and finding a niche for himself in the mining supply market. He spent many years providing Leeds-based mining firms with much of the explosives and drilling materials needed for much of the heavy mining, and despite his niche became a local name in the industry.
After almost a decade of Leeds-centric operations, Arthur moved to Cambridge, where he founded ANFO Industries, Ltd., and soon began investing in BMM's operations in Southern Bretonia and the nearby Omega systems.
As of 833 A.S., nearly 7% of Bretonia's active workforce is estimated to be if not insured by ANFO, then in some way funded.

Ayda O'More
Date-of-Birth: January 17th, 807 A.S.
Birthplace: Faerwyth, Planet Cambridge, Bretonia Space
Eye Color: Blue
Hair Color: Brown
Home: Arranmore Base
Occupation: Molly
A fairly young addition to the Molly's ranks, Ayda began her life relatively pampered in the Bretonian south. Though her parents had grand visions for her, she simply preferred a simpler life, and instead of going off to Cambridge University when she came of age, she instead signed on with BMM to mine the gold fields in Dublin. Anticipating good pay for honest work, the reality was discovered far too late, and Ayda locked in a ferociously strong contract, essentially being submitted to the infamous conditions aboard Grave Station for the next four years.
In 831, amid strong pro-Molly sentiment, the station would see a full revolt following the deaths of numerous miners aboard the Glyndwr. Though she didn't take part in the violence aboard the station herself, Ayda stood with the rest of her embittered coworkers, and when the Molly agents aboard began moving to leave for Arranmore, having lined the station with explosives, she joined them.
After Graves, Ayda joined the Molly cause in full, spending the next two years training and taking part in raids against those uninvited into Dublin. Though she prefers a lighter approach to situations, in a somewhat stark contrast to her peers, she maintains a rather deep resentment for her former employers.
After several refits and numerous field tests, she was granted command of the Limerick, a formerly Hessian cruiser donated to the movement a year prior.

Katherine Anneliese von Meyer
Date-of-Birth: August 5th, 802 A.S.
Birthplace: Planet New Berlin, New Berlin system
Eye Color: Blue
Hair Color: Blonde
Home: Meyerhaus, Planet Hamburg, Hamburg system
Occupation: Rheinland Military - Konteradmiral
Born on New Berlin shortly after the end of the Nomad War, Katherine was born as the only child of then Rheinland Military Vizeadmiral Lennard Theopold von Meyer, one of the few unaltered officers of the Military, and a member of the notable Meyer family of officers across Rheinland space. Throughout her early childhood and teenage years, Katherine was educated largely by professional tudors, falling out of public school early from problems that were initially linked to potential dyslexia, but were later discovered to simply be bad teaching on the part of her instructors. As she grew, her exposure to the Rheinland Military did as well, especially with the war against Liberty raging on her family's doorstep. Despite her interest in pursuing a college degree, she instead enlisted with the Military.
Thrown headlong into the War with Liberty, Katherine very quickly rose in ranks through the battlefield hierarchy, ascending to command of a Donau-class cruiser, the Mainz, by the war's end, her aptitude as a commander surpassing that of her skills as a fighter pilot. The war itself proved to be a boon to Katherine's career going forward, highlighting in her a talent for logistics, as well as fleet command. The post-war years would see her rise through the ranks stagger somewhat, as she was stationed in Frankfurt to help oversee the Military's expansion of supply routes from Mainz to Sektor-7.
Katherine largely stayed out of the spotlight, though voiced her opposition to the warhawks and neo-monarchists aboard the Battleship Koblenz. Despite reaching the rank of Konteradmiral, a rarity for an officer of the Military's Secondary Fleet, most in the Military's command structure continued spreading their sentiment. This combined with unrest from recent Federal elections and a movement to legalize the Bundschuh movement saw many of her superiors support renegade politicians on New Berlin in declaring the Rheinland Government defunct, sparking mass outrage across the nation.
With many of her superiors either defective or killed in the opening clashes, Katherine oversaw the retreat of many Federal-aligned forces into safe regions within Frankfurt, Thuringia, and Stuttgart, with the latter falling soon to Imperialist hands. Placed in command of Federal-aligned Military elements, and working alongside the Buro der Marineintelligenz and Bundschuh activists, she soon found herself organizing attacks on Imperialist holdings and strike forces, while ensuring the defense of Thuringia against all elements. For the whole of the Civil War, Katherine remained on the front, overseeing battle after battle, siege after siege, for nearly a year, until the war's end with the signing of the Holstein Accords.
Despite having played an active part in resisting the Imperialist coup, Katherine was allowed to retain her command, and following the Holstein Accords, Federal-aligned forces were soon reincorporated into the Military's command structure. Her family's name was formally recognized by the new Rheinland Government, and the Imperialist lockdown of her family home was lifted.
Though she continues to serve, saying her oath to the Rheinland people comes before all else, her vehement opposition to the Imperial government has caused many above her to question her position, but routine interference by supporters within both the Reichstag and the Military at large have allowed her to maintain her command.
She has been known to regularly speak volumes about the Civil War from her perspective as a Federalist supporter, and it is rumored that she routinely sends donations from her personal accounts to the Bundschuh movement, although these have never been corroborated. Until the day comes, though, it is likely she will remain as staunch a Republican as she was before the Civil War.

Date-of-Birth: March 1st, 797 A.S.
Birthplace: Planet Stuttgart, Stuttgart system
Eye Color: Steel
Hair Color: Dirty Blonde
Home: Freital Base, Omega-11 system
Occupation: Sirius Coalition Revolutionary Army
Born and nearly instantly orphaned on Planet Stuttgart, Hans Metzger was soon picked up by an enterprising trader who mentored him and nurtured him until he was of age to choose his own path. He decided to stay with the trader, of which he never actually came to know his name, instead referring to him as just 'sir' or 'herr'. After a time, the trader came into contact with the Red Hessians, who took a quick liking to his 'less than legal' trading measures. Hans warmed up fast to their beliefs, soon flying for them directly an participating in their work.
He officially joined them around 822 A.S., flying with many of the higher ups and lower ends, familiarizing himself with the whole organization. Occasionally he'd meet the odd Coalitioner due to the alliance between the two, but these events would be short lived. While one catch his eye, it's faint and unpredictable at this point.

Rheinland Schlachtschiff Freya
Date-of-Completion: February 28th, 788 A.S.
Home Port: Schatten Construction Yard (now Schatten Research Facility), Sektor-7, Frankfurt system
Hull Number: Bis-V2201rt
Commanding Officer: Kommodore Elias Dittrich
Executive Officer: Kapitän Gregory Katz
Radio Officer: Kommandant Leopold Scheiffer
Navigation Officer: Leutnant Hans Kleigler
Lead Engineer: Stabsfeldwebel Anna Ostfeld
Current Base-of-Operations: Frankfurt Defense Flotilla, Sektor-7
Constructed in 788 A.S. as part of the new line of advanced Bismarck-class battleships for the Rheinland Military, the Freya served as a strong-arm ship, operating within the unpopular fields of Omega-11 and working against the constant bombardment of the Red Hessians pouring in from Dresden. For the twelve years before the start of the Nomad War, Freya, affectionately known to those manning her as 'Das Hindernis' (the obstacle), was stationed in both Stuttgart and New Berlin as a deterrent to Blood Diamond smugglers. Upon the rise of the Nomad War, however, Freya's reputation took a large hit.
With the mass infestation of the Rheinland Military, Freya's commander, Vizeadmiral Werner Holstein, was reassigned, his vocality towards Rheinland's increased military spending and imperialism earning him a swift, and fatal, journey to the hells of the Walker Nebula. The ship received a new commander, and for the year that Rheinland's expansionism under command of the Nomads went unchecked, Freya was assigned to blockade the doorway to the Frankfurt system. Few escaped her watchful eye, exceptions being the legendary Edison Trent and his momentary wingman Hans Fischer. With the attack on her home conducted by the Bundschuh under Klaus Botzler, Freya was ordered to return home and watch over Sektor-7 as the construction yard was rebuilt.
Freya continued to operate in the east of Rheinland, her crew and command being swept of any remaining infected individuals after the rise of the Marinenachristendienst. Numerous raids by the Bundschuh, Corsairs, and Red Hessians would continue to dot her service through the next quarter-century, and after the GMG assault on Fulda she was given the green light to move forward with the subsequent declaration of war on the GMG, and soon after the Empire of Kusari. Freya fought for months on the front line, operating as part of Panzerflotte Bayern. During this time, she saw another change of command after the tragic loss of Vizeadmiral Oslo Kessler. His direct subordinate, Konteradmiral Katherine von Meyer, would move to secure the command of the ship and distance the Freya's involvement with Panzerflotte Bayern. After a short campaign north, Freya was ordered towards the opposite direction, acting as one of the very few Rheinland heavy warships operating inside of Frankfurt. Based from Schatten and operating in conjunction with the Schlactschiff Koblenz, Freya stood guard, coordinating patrols across the system.
At the outbreak of the Rheinland Civil War, Freya was among the first ships of the Federal loyalists to retaliate against forces loyal to the coup. The ship is credited with the destruction of Battleship Koblenz, though sustained considerable damage in the encounter. During the civil war, the ship itself took part in many battles with Imperial forces, and was instrumental in numerous failed Imperial assaults on the Schatten Facility. During a climactic battle in southern Frankfurt, Freya stood firm alongside numerous other Federal loyalists in ensuring that Imperial plans to invade Thuringia were consistently thwarted.
Despite these, when the ultimate ceasefire was called, many loyalists aboard the ship began to fear the future going forward. While no member of the ship's crew was accused of crimes for actions during the war, neither did any owe loyalty to the new Kaiser or his, in their eyes, 'sham government'. Regardless, the ship retained its position as the anchor for Kriegsflotte Freya, though many of her crew remain skeptical of the Rheinland they pledged to defend going forward.

With the attack on her home conducted by the Bundschuh under Klaus Botzler, Freya was ordered to return home and watch over Sektor-7 as the construction yard was rebuilt.
Freya continued to operate in the east of Rheinland, her crew and command being swept of any remaining infected individuals after the rise of the Marinenachristendienst. Numerous raids by the Bundschuh, Corsairs, and Red Hessians would continue to dot her service through the next quarter-century, and after the GMG assault on Fulda she was given the green light to move forward with the subsequent declaration of war on the GMG, and soon after the Empire of Kusari. Freya fought for months on the front line, operating as part of Panzerflotte Bayern. During this time, she saw another change of command after the tragic loss of Vizeadmiral Oslo Kessler. His direct subordinate, Konteradmiral Katherine von Meyer, would move to secure the command of the ship and distance the Freya's involvement with Panzerflotte Bayern. After a short campaign north, Freya was ordered towards the opposite direction, acting as one of the very few Rheinland heavy warships operating inside of Frankfurt. Based from Schatten and operating in conjunction with the Schlactschiff Koblenz, Freya stood guard, coordinating patrols across the system.
At the outbreak of the Rheinland Civil War, Freya was among the first ships of the Federal loyalists to retaliate against forces loyal to the coup. The ship is credited with the destruction of Battleship Koblenz, though sustained considerable damage in the encounter. During the civil war, the ship itself took part in many battles with Imperial forces, and was instrumental in numerous failed Imperial assaults on the Schatten Facility. During a climactic battle in southern Frankfurt, Freya stood firm alongside numerous other Federal loyalists in ensuring that Imperial plans to invade Thuringia were consistently thwarted.
Despite these, when the ultimate ceasefire was called, many loyalists aboard the ship began to fear the future going forward. While no member of the ship's crew was accused of crimes for actions during the war, neither did any owe loyalty to the new Kaiser or his, in their eyes, 'sham government'. Regardless, the ship retained its position as the anchor for Kriegsflotte Freya, though many of her crew remain skeptical of the Rheinland they pledged to defend going forward.
Rheinland Flottenträger Weser
Date-of-Completion: May 12th, 827 A.S.
Home Port: Schatten Research Facility, Sektor-7, Frankfurt system
Hull Number: Elb-V3772fc
Commanding Officer: Kapitän Alicia Wissmann
Executive Officer: Kommandant Gregory Katz

Lead Engineer: Stabsbootmann Robin Werfel
Current Base-of-Operations: Frankfurt Defense Flotilla, Sektor-7
Unlike many of the ships within the Bundeswehr, RNC Weser is a far newer ship of the 'Elbe'-class. Ordered at the beginning of the year 827 AS, Weser was planned to be a small addition to the Bundeswehr as part of a modernization spree within the defense department. Being constructed at Schatten's relatively unused drydocks put the completion of the ship's construction near the end of June of the same year, but with the descent of Rheinland into civil war in April, the ship's completion was pushed forward out of necessity for ships within the Federal resistance.
Weser wasn't spared the fire of enemy warships even before she was completed; As part of Koblenz's sabotage during her brief defection, many of her guns were trained on the construction yards, and despite the Bundeswehr flagship Freya moving to block the fire, Weser was still damaged in the brawl. Despite this, the ship's construction was rushed successfully, and the Bundeswehr found themselves host to a new warship by mid-May of 827. The ship was immediately commandeered by the Admiralty, and began her career as Admiral von Meyer's personal command ship, much to the dismay of the Kapitän Wissmann. During the course of the war, Weser was involved in numerous engagements within the Westerwald, both with Imperial forces as well as enterprising Hessian and Unioner raiders.
Following the ceasefire, and the integration of the Bundeswehr into the Imperial Rheinland military ranks, the ship was retained for Kriegsflotte Freya, remaining the flagship of its commanding officer, though now relegated to area defense and patrol sourcing as it had been planned before the war. However, despite flying Imperial colors, much of the ship's crew remains wary of the new Imperial system itself, though still stands loyal to the uniform over ideology.

Rheinland Panzerkreuzer Nestor

Current Base-of-Operations: Frankfurt Defense Flotilla, Sektor-7
Laid down in 795, five years before the outbreak of the Nomad conflict, RNC Nestor was one of the many warships sent out by the Federal Republic as part of Operation Steinhammer. Constructed in a record 18 weeks, the Nestor was assigned to Panzerflotte Schiller, operating alongside the Battleship throughout their operations in the Omega systems. Upon the activation of Operation Steinhammer, the Schiller's task force, backed by sister ship Goethe and her own battlegroup, proceeded on a cloaked run to the Tau systems in order to ambush and capture Freelancer Edison Trent and the mysterious Daam K'vosh artifact. With intelligence gathered from local sources, the Schiller's battlegroup staged a cunning ambush at the edge of the in-system methane field, de-cloaking and revealing themselves, the Nestor at the head of the fleet's lineup. Despite the arrival of reinforcements, Panzerflotte Schiller maintained their positions, opening fire on the lone fighters.
During the battle, Nestor's hull had been hit countless times. The small strikecraft packing such high-end weaponry with a lack of standardized shielding was too much for even the pride of the Schiller's cruiser fleet. Her Commander, Kapitan Karl Leutzberg, gave the order to abandon ship, 30 men out of her 257 making it out of the warship in time. After the destruction of Panzerflotte Schiller and the subsequent escape of Trent and his compatriots deeper into the Barrier, the order was given by Konteradmiral von Hess of Panzerflotte Goethe to move in and secure survivors before returning to Rheinland proper. Scans were made of the wrecks of the Schiller's fleet, most of the ships either completely totaled or spaced. Nestor was noted as being 'tarnished, but relatively salvageable'. Months later, after the Rheinland defeat at Sektor-7 in Frankfurt and the subsequent end of the Nomad War, plans were made by the Rheinland special forces division to salvage what wrecks they could from the numerous ships they'd lost across Sirius. While most of the noted salvageable material came from Tohoku and the damaged ships in Sektor-7, Task Force Bielefelde was sent to the Tau sector to reclaim marked warships tagged for usable salvage. Among the ships recovered were three 90-ARKM-N9 Valkyries, the damaged Gunship Bhietigheim, and the Nestor herself.
Hauled in secret back to the restored shipyards at Schatten, the Nestor, as well as her compatriot in the Bhietigheim, were restored to working order and stationed as defensive assets in the event of another determined Bundschuh raid. Upgraded through the years, Nestor was eventually outfitted and transferred to the MND as a forward operations platform and heavy assault unit. After the chaos of the Fulda attack, however, she was placed into the care of the MND's forward operating battalion before being commandeered into Panzerflotte Freya as part of the Rheinland Military's northern fleet. Upon the rise of Konteradmiral von Meyer as the Panzerflotte's CO, Nestor with the rest of the fleet was moved back to Frankfurt, taking up positions within the system, primarily at Schatten as a defensive flotilla alongside the Koblenz.
At the outbreak of the Rheinland Civil War, Nestor's captain declared the ship's loyalty to the Federal Government, and was one of the many ships stationed at Schatten that participated in the destruction of Battleship Koblenz, following the latter's defection to the Imperial opposition. Nestor coordinated alongside Bundeswehr forces within the Westerwald, as well as partaking in numerous attacks against Imperial forces along the Ostautobahn. The ship itself is credited with the confirmed destruction of seven Imperial warships throughout the course of the war.
When the ceasefire was called, Nestor was subjected to considerable scrutiny by the conservative high command of the Imperial forces. Having been responsible for the loss of a considerable number of her own countrymen, many suspected that the ship's captain would face intense backlash for her actions, but Captain Oslo's position was ultimately defended by Konteradmiral von Meyer, who had argued that 'the civil war saw no one labeled a hero', and 'even the Captain was herself a victim'. The charges were eventually dismissed, and following slight modernizations after the war, Nestor returned to active service alongside Kriegsflotte Freya.

Rheinland Kanonenschiff Bhietigheim

Commanding Officer: Oberleutnant Hugo Bodnar
Executive Officer: Leutnant Friedrich Kessler
Radio Officer: Leutnant Elena Richter
Navigation Officer: Leutnant Jurgen Fenris
Lead Engineer: Feldwebel Oswald Kobers
Current Base-of-Operations: Frankfurt Defense Flotilla, Sektor-7
Constructed in 795 A.S. at Alster Shipyard in Hamburg, Gunship Bhietigheim was originally designed as a medium-scale support platform for the growing Schiller Panzerflotte. Completed after seven months of construction, the ship was at first slated for light duty along the north border with Liberty, intercepting roving Unioner terror wings and working in conjunction with the LSF at times to keep the border clear. After the outbreak of Rheinland hostilities across Sirius, Bhietigheim was pulled back from the border, leaving Panzerflotte Westfalen to take up the slack. She was finally merged with the Schiller's fleet as part of Operation Steinhammer, the ill-fated attempt to force freelancer Edison Trent to give up the Daam K'vosh artifact.
Bhietigheim, along with the rest of Panzerflotte Schiller, moved north to Tau-29, awaiting in ambush for their target. Once engaged, Bhietigheim, now tasked with defending the fleet from the 5 heavily armed warbirds they weren't designed against, covered the fleet to the best of her ability, but the technology of the newer, more versatile fighters of their enemy rendered the gunship useless. She, alongside the entirety of Panzerflotte Schiller, was lost, Bhietigheim taking significant damage and drifting near the wreckage of the warships she'd been tasked to defend. After the end of the war, Rheinland special operations division Bielefeld was ordered to recover whatever ships they could from the battle site in Tau-29. After being marked months earlier by Schlachtschiff Goethe, Bielefeld returned with several wrecks, the Bhietigheim being one of them. She was returned to the Schatten Facility in Frankfurt, where the ship was refitted and repressurized, serving as a guard dog alongside fellow Schiller warfleet survivor RNC Nestor.
For the nest few years, Bhietigheim was stationed with the Nestor and the rest of the Schatten Defense Flotilla, later being moved to operations with the Northern Fleet as part of Rheinwehr Panzerflotte Freya. The gunship, now equipped with anti-strikecraft capabilities, accompanied her charge as they gunned for the GMG and Kusari Navy in the Sigma cluster. Only recently was she reunited with her compatriot in the RNC Nestor once more, Panzerflotte Freya returning to Schatten as the guard for the Rheinwehr in Frankfurt.

Date-of-Birth: April 4th, 797 A.S.
Birthplace: Planet Crete, Omicron Gamma system
Eye Color: Brown
Hair Color: Brown
Home: Isolde Crest, Planet Crete
Occupation: Imperio Corsario Captain
Having grown up the typical Cretan childhood, Rodrigo has had many a year to reflect upon the trials and difficulties that he had to overcome throughout life. After losing his father to the war with the Outcasts, and his siblings to the rampant piracy that was prolific through the Omegas, there was little keeping Rodrigo bound to reality. However, natural skill, not in fighting but in composure, led him to take charge of one of the Empire's most daring projects.
With the design of the Murmillo completed, little was thought to improve it. Tejada conjured up the ideal of a lighter, more flexible vessel, capable of going toe to toe with the bricks of the Hessians, the torpedoes of the Coalition, the fish of the Bretonian Armed Forces and the chunky cuboids of the Rheinland Military. A platform bristling with weapons of nearly every calibre, size and complexity, slapped onto the hull of a single warship. In 825, he received his wish.
A newly christened warship, Marbella, claiming the first of a new breed of Murmillo. He was to be her captain, and through the months of testing and action, he has proven an effective captain. Infamous to a fault, his victims, coining the age old farce of Cretan cannibalism, assigned Tejada the grueling moniker of 'The Cannibal Prince', a name which, in spite, he wears proudly, striking fear into the eyes of every enemy of the Imperio.

C.N.S. Marbella
Class: Supremo-class Battleship
Crew: 1504 Permanent; 18 Auxiliary; 5 Temporary
CO: Capitan Rodrigo Benitez Tejada
XO: Commandante Lisa Gutierrez
Commissioned into the Imperial Corsair Navy in mid-825 A.S., the Marbella is an augmented Murmillo-class battleship, designed off the main line of warships as a testbed for more advanced, lighter framing and less bulky cannons. Built to deal with both large and small opponents at long and close range, the Marbella's 'Supremo' design has been many the detriment to allied officers since her inception on the battlefield.
Though her captain, Rodrigo Tejada, remains a considerable unknown in regards to Corsair politics, his mentality of 'military first, piracy second' has played fast and loose with many hardline Corsair traditions, which has at best drawn much inquiry from the Cretan general staff, and at worst ostracized him from what peers he has left. One of only a few independent Corsair captains who followed the Custodi into war against Bretonia alongside Royalist Gallia, he devoted his ship and his expertise to the Athos' defense, though he did not personally take part in the Battle of New London, much to his own personal shame.
The ship supported the Athos' retreat back into Corsair controlled space, and has since returned to informal Corsair military operations, though those mostly involve blasting very small ships with the battleship's very big guns.

Birthplace: Planet Kyushu, Kyushu System
Eye Color: Violet
Hair Color: Black
Home: Himeji Manor, Planet New Tokyo, New Tokyo System
Occupation: Kusari State Police
Traumatized, scarred, beaten and berated, Akina Suzuki still maintains her discipline and courtesies, even in the wake of all around her closing in. While she may not remember a single thing about her life past the point of being a captive of the Blood Dragons, she does know that, while she has no idea where, she has a sister out in the depths of space.
Up to the point of remembrance, all Akina knows is how she came to be free of the Dragons' clutches. Had it not been for the actions of a brave and courageous Samura employee, she may have very well fallen into the same bucket. Once freed, Akina attempted to recollect the fragments of her life that she could piece together. Finding no luck, she opted for option two, which was to build a new life for herself, putting a great deal of effort into bettering herself through the training in the Naval Forces' Officer Candidacy School. Though she learned a good deal, she never made it, instead being drafted into the ranks of the State Police instead.
Here she found her brand of self-taught mannerisms and disciplinary mastery ideal to the job. She rarely if ever strays from the topic on hand, preferring to talk more than fight, and almost always succeeds, which minor exceptions. While she holds bitter resentment towards the Blood Dragons for their role in her rough childhood, she always seems calmer around those of the other unlawful organizations, most notably the Golden Chrysanthemums, of whom she feels somewhat of a spiritual bond towards. While it will only remain that, spiritual, she does reflect this at times, but only when alone, or when the situation permits.

Tsuda Tanaka
Date-of-Birth: December 7th, 797 A.S.
Birthplace: Planet New Tokyo, New Tokyo system
Eye Color: Red
Hair Color: Black
Home: Kobunagi Estate, Planet Kyushu, Kyushu System
Occupation: Imperial Kusari Navy
An Imperialist by heart, and by blood, Tsuda Tanaka carries with her the will to win in any situation, regardless of the circumstances. The rather young Kusari Navy officer originated from Planet New Tokyo, her childhood leading her to join the Imperial Kusari Naval Forces.While her start was slow, once recognized, she rose up quickly, her dedication to discipline and order becoming synonymous with her later command.
In the waning years of the war with Bretonia, Tanaka was provided command of one the Naval Forces Akizuki-class destroyers, the Niizuki. With her in command, and her partnership alongside the captain of the Akizuki, Kiyoko Miyasaki, the two vessels waged the long war against Bretonia, until the forces of Gallia's Royal Navy burst through the northern Taus and cut them off from their brethren. The separation forced Tanaka, Miyasaki and the rest of the Imperialist forces away from their home, and gave them the task of returning home to prevent Gallic domination.
Her return home devastated both her and those around her. Seeing the changed people, and the Gallic influence having stolen all she held dear, the new leadership of Kusari was a quick enemy to the destroyer captain. By any means she'll restore the Tenno, and anyone who stands to oppose her and her rightful ruler faces long odds for survival.

Jin's early life was mainly that of the spoiled brat, though he was never truly uptight about it. His parents both being fairly wealthy off of the special pearls from their home's ocean paid for what addictions he had, and eventually fueled his desire to travel into space.
There isn't much that can be said about him in general besides his fairly friendly persona, the straight-facedness he gives people, his honesty or his not-so-unusual belief in an afterlife. While he's good at being friendly, he oddly enough has little in the way of actual friendship, most using him for what they want and then leaving without so much as a word.
His decision to join the Hogosha was more out of a desire to just be around people. The title 'loner' comes up a lot, and while it doesn't usually phase him, it does build up. He has kept one friend through his life, however. A fellow Hogosha, Nami Byotoma, sees him through on almost every fight, the unusual 'Black Dragon' fighter he'd been provided requiring two to fly. While the two are close, Nami's strict ideal of the two progressing farther has halted many of his attempts.

Sama Chase
Date-of-Birth: Unknown, suspected lower/mid 20s
Birthplace: Unknown
Eye Color: Blue
Hair Color: Blonde
Home: Port Quarter 13, Deck 7, Battleship Nagasaki, Kyushu System
Occupation: Imperial Kusari Navy
More of a case of a child entering a war with a big stick, Sama more-or-less has no idea who she really is. Three years prior to her joining the ranks of the IKN, she was discovered in a floating slave transport populated by about thirty or so other fellow slaves. A daring junker trainee, Benjamin Cannuck, discovered the transport, offloading all but Ms. Chase, who stayed of her own accord. The two quickly became fast friends, one tending to the other as they made runs throughout the colonies, both legal and non.
Almost two and a half years after being discovered, Sama took to looking through what she could of her roots, the amnesia from the slave trauma having erased any memory of her past life. She found information on the Imperialist Kusari Navy, finding their struggle to retake the nation and restore it to empirical rule something she was interested in. She gave the though time to bubble over, eventually leaving Cannuck and his ship to join the ranks of the Imperial Navy.
She was accepted into the notorious 343rd squadron of the Imperial Navy, her sky persona a bit of an intriguing spot on the squadron's record. Regardless, she pressured on, hoping to make a difference and, possibly, find her former life.

Ami Natsuya
Date-of-Birth: August 27th, 801 A.S.
Birthplace: Planet Kyushu, Kyushu System
Eye Color: Green
Hair Color: Red/Dark Pink
Home: Ainu Depot, Hokkaido System
Occupation: Golden Chrysanthemum
Not much is known about Ami Natsuya, except for the rather obvious facts of her affiliations, preference in fighter loadout and the fact that she's apparently crazy beyond most renditions of belief. All else is subject to speculation, and even she doesn't know much about herself at times.
What she can recollect is that she was born on Kyushu, her mother a rice farmer and her father an accountant. At some point, she and her sister were kidnapped from their family, held captive among other prisoners and suspected criminals under the containment of the Blood Dragons. While her sister took initiative and eventually escaped, Ami wasn't so fortunate. She was subject to intense psychological abuse, physical stresses and emotional whiplash that would usually break normal people, though Ami did seem to take some of the torment to heart.
Over time, she eventually accepted her new home, willingly giving in to the Dragons' beliefs and calling them her own. However, part of her continued to long for a return to her old life she no longer knew, the mental stress splitting her mind in two. By the end of her time with the Dragons, Ami was a mental shadow of her former self, and all she knew was the name of her 'best friend', a mental image of her sister who she refers to as 'Kita', who she found herself loyal to and that everyone else was either prime for her reaping or a mortal enemy.
Effectively this has made Ami go insane over the years of prolonged captivity and subversion. The fact that she continues to live on with it might show some form of persistence to overcome it, but given how she embraces it, it's doubtful

PERSONAL HISTORY:
Alexander Samuel Kingston was born on July 17th, 792 A.S. to Daniel James Kingston and Veronica Martin-Kingston. His father worked primarily as a business consultant for a Cambridge-based shipping company, and his mother was a student at Cambridge University. His father absolutely despised his job, and his mother finished with her PhD in medicine around his fourth birthday. She got a job as a nurse aboard Cambridge Research Station, and gave birth to Alex's twin brother and sister, Nicole and Trevor, not long after his fifth birthday. The two, a pair of identical twins, in their years after birth would soon look up to Alex for the knowledge and care that they needed, when their parents weren't off doing something else.
About a month after Alex's eighth birthday, the whole family moved to Planet Stuttgart, in the wake of Alex's father's dismissal from his job. They did what they could to make money and provide for themselves, but the wake of the Rheinland Government sweeping over their colonies took it's toll, and once the relations between Rheinland and the other houses came to an end, the family moved again to Planet Pittsburgh. There, they stayed for another ten years, where Alex and his father worked as mineral excavators, digging up the raw Boron that would fuel the planet's mining economy. When Alex's father got an opportunity to fly as a transport captain for BMM, he jumped at the chance, and the family moved one more to Planet Leeds, where despite the smoggy locale, was significantly better than Pittsburgh.
By this time, Alex had received his pilots license, and had bought himself a CTE-6000 "Eagle"-class Heavy Fighter, setting off on short trips to the nearby Tau systems to get a feel for both the fighter controls, and the space around him. He remained close to Leeds so he could continue to support his brother and sister. He signed on for a position as an escort pilot for Interspace Commerce, hoping the position would help him see the places he'd heard of from many other experienced freelancers. When the war between Kusari and Bretonia broke out, Interspace let him go, seeing no need for his expertise anymore.
Having been let go, Alex, seeing his homeland under attack, enlisted in the Bretonian Armed Forces to lend his hand to the defense. He fought alongside many other pilots, some of whom fought for the same reasons he did, while others fought because they savored the action. Regardless, the fight against Kusari was a bloody one, and despite his careful strictness to protocol, he found himself in many a dire situation, even beside his well trained comrades. He'd reached the rank of Commander in the Armed Forces before he'd decided that he'd had enough of the continual bloodshed against the Kusari Naval Forces. He resigned, and moved to Liberty, where he stayed for about a year, trying his best to enjoy the quiet life.
He found no such enjoyment. While he was glad to be off the battleground of Leeds, the quiet was what irked him the most, which prompted him to apply for the Liberty Navy's Primary Fleet. Alongside another Cadet, Benjamin Cohen, he was accepted, and slowly, but steadily, rose through the ranks. While his first few weeks under the Navy's banner weren't all too impressive, his constant patrol reports and dedication to duties helped him ascend. It wasn't long before Alex was a keen model to those around him, inspiring recruits and always keeping the spirit of victory alive.
Less than a month before his 31st birthday, he was injured in an off-duty attack which ended with a shattered fibula and a gunshot wound to his shoulder, forcing him out of action and on leave for nearly two weeks. Through his time off duty, he spent the majority of it at his home on Denver, and what time he didn't, he spent at a hospital not far away. When he returned to active duty, he was kept on watch, his wounds while healed still showed tension that required him to work lighter than he usually did.
Not long after he was pulled back into service, Kingston applied for the Navy's External Security and Research Division, believing that his time in the service, as well as his dedication to his duty and consistency, would prove useful to the defense of Liberty. This transfer to the E.S.R.D. proved helpful in the wake of the Navy's exploration of the New York Anomaly, which appeared in front of the capital on July 17th, 823 A.S.. Alongside Lt. Cmdr. Jason Hirlerman, Lieutenant Ryan Dagnino and Admiral Natalie Reaser aboard the L.N.S. Nevada, they proceeded through. The encounter with alien force, alongside those of the other three houses and the Order, was grueling to say the least, and Kingston was eventually shot down while attempting to cover the H.M.S. Dauntless' retreat after the main objective was completed.
He was pulled in, returned to Liberty alongside Lt. Cmdr. Hirlerman, Lt. Dagnino and Admiral Reaser, having all gone through screening on the Cambridge Institute to clear for nomad infection. After the operation, they were all returned to Liberty, the remaining Navy pilots who fell in the fight having been returned by a rather selfless Order Colonel named Jeremy Hunter. After he returned to Manhattan, he was contacted by Hunter himself, who met him in California. They discussed the details, both overlying and underlying, of the scene they witnessed in Major.
With the recent acts undertaken by the Liberty Security Force, as well as fiance's claimed personal attack by the L.S.F., has spurred him to have an ever growing resentment for them. With their actions becoming more brazen by the day, and their indirect involvement in the death of 5th Fleet Admiral Jack O'Neill, and the kidnapping of Vice Admiral Alexis Hunter by infested forces, his tolerance for them is almost nonexistent. Were it not for certain LSF operatives being cooperative, he would simply dismiss them as another fugitive group eyeing as an intelligence corp gone rogue.
Nowadays, he mainly runs operations from the command station aboard the L.N.S. Utah, a "Longbow"-class siege cruiser granted to him as part of the defense of Virginia and Liberty from the LSF. Alongside his comrade and friend Avery Reeves, and his station aboard the Dreadnought Salem, they remain vigilant, keeping watch over Liberty, a Paragon and a Sentinel defending their oaths to their last breaths.

PERSONAL HISTORY:
Holston Langley was born and raised on Manhattan, a son of a working class family. His mother and father both worked in light industry, creating actual boxes for actual people. His childhood wasn't truly exciting, and his decision to enlist in the Liberty Navy after high school was more-or-less what his father expected him to do, even if he was proud of his young son.

Elisa Marie Kingston
Date-of-Birth: March 2nd, 794 A.S.
Birthplace: Planet Le Mans, Maine system, Gallia space.
Eye Color: Grey
Hair Color: Black
Home: 47 E. Court Rd. Chesterfield, Planet Denver, Colorado
Occupation: Liberty Security Force / Liberty Navy 3rd Fleet
Born on the icy Planet Le Mans, Elisa was the daughter of two rather poor settlers who hadn't been on Le Mans for long. Her parents were both killed weeks after her 4th birthday in a snowstorm that ravaged a small settlement, forcing her uncle, a native to the planet, to take her in. Once she turned 14, she got a part-time job as a maintenance aid, assisting the equipment dealer with fitting and lifting. She did this for about two years, until she fell into a slick of oil and was burned, scarring 80% of the left side of her body save her face and neck.
Once she recovered, her uncle signed her on as a resource miner for the Gallic Metal Service, which lasted for about 2 years. Nearing the end of her service, she met her to-be husband, Colonel Richard Cellier. They wed later that year, and had one son, Killian. For eight years, Elisa nurtured Killian, but his father tried more and more to focus him on the path of becoming his successor. Once the Navy followed the Council into Sirius, Richard took Killian to a recruiting center, and had him inducted into the Gallic Royal Navy Ground Forces. He was to be tested in battle, under his father's supervision, in the Champagne system, in one of the many futile attempts to take back the Courville Wreck. This plan, like the others before it, was a doomed one in the end, and Killian, as well as over 40 Navy servicemen, were killed as the rest of the Navy forces retreated back through the jump gate.
Fleeing to Sirius soon after, fueled by anger, she soon joined the Bretonian Intelligence Service, and even sooner after the LSF. Working as a joint cover operative for both agencies, after the LSF's breach of security resulting in the LSF's takeover of Alaska alongside the Harmony rebels, Elisa, now under the name of Alissa Murray, transferred to the Liberty Navy's 5th Fleet as a high ranking intelligence and research director, overseeing their development branch. In time, she eventually parted with the 5th, alongside a piece of prototype weaponry, seeing it's transferral to the Navy's 3rd Fleet, where she maintains her position as the Fleet's Director of OSCD.

Born on the bustling metropolis of Los Angeles, Patricia Woods' childhood was about as perfect as you could get in Liberty. A loving family, a quality education, some of the best friend money couldn't buy and a peaceful abode free of just about any controversy. Once finished with high school, Patricia enrolled in a light training course at West Point, training with some of Liberty's finest. While she never grew to their level, she took a fair load of experience from them, and practiced her own abilities throughout her years at Sacramento University. Here she found her love of the unknown, the unexplored and the yet-discovered.
While in Liberty there were very few outlets to discharge this drive, push from her loving boyfriend in the Navy ended up with her applying to join the Liberty Security Force. It was here she found that outlet, making her way through the ranks and divisions, eventually finding herself third to an LSF Colonel named Bill Shyrie, who himself directed the Department of Internal Affairs, sitting pretty at the rank of Commander like the great Jun'ko Zane before her. She worked dutifully for her nation, using the LSF's access and discretion to fuel her love of the unknown.
While on a patrol in the secured Alaska system, Commander Woods was shot down by an unknown fleeing fugitive who was then chased from Liberty space. While she was never officially rescued, she did show herself once more, apparently having freed herself and returned with no recollection of the incident.

Theresa "Tess" Bailey
Date-of-Birth: August 19th, 793 A.S.
Birthplace: Planet Houston, Texas system
Eye Color: Blue
Hair Color: Blonde
Home: Bloc 37, Kenworth, Planet Houston, Liberty Space
Occupation: Independent Bounty Hunter
Texan through and through, Tess Bailey was born and raised on Houston to parents unworthy of hosting a child. Despite a rough upbringing, Tess earned a rather substantial reputation for being quick on her wits, as well as with her fists. With a record of light disturbance charges, she signed on with the Liberty Navy's 332nd Forward Fight Squadron based out of the Mississippi, looking to expand her skillset to fields that didn't require a bottle and a short temper. Despite her gung-ho attitude, which brought to light many laughs and highlights of her naval career, Tess was denied her second tour following a lack of discipline that was to be drilled into her through the first eight years of her service.
Retaining her Naval-issue "Guardian" fighter, she kept in contact with her squadron, offering her services to the Navy at large largely free of expenses, though charging typical civilian traders and other house military forces standard fare for the performance of a trained military officer. She remains serving as a largely independent bounty hunter, not affiliated with the Guild but willingly serving alongside their members when the opportunity arises. While the status of her craft remains somewhat suspect, due to not being properly recorded, she alleges to have kept hold of the paper documentation of the ship's transfer to her ownership.

Occupation: Freelancer
Corbin Maxwell, also known under the alias 'Clambor Winlox', is more or less a classy dramacist with ties to organized crime. He was born on Planet Kurile, though the exact details regarding so end there. What's known about him in life if that he was the central inspiration for the foundation of 'Project Constellation', an attempt first proposed by Dr. Felix Schroeder and made reality by the inter-Sirian group The Assembly. While he had personal input on many of the creations of the innovative project, his words eventually spurred the development of 'abominations' within the group, most notably a synth designated 'Phoenicis', who could literally bend fire to her will.
It's not known exactly what spurred him to follow this path, but many believe it's tied to his ever increasing trust in the aliens known as the Slomon K'Hara. In fact, many denizens of the Assembly have sworn an oath that they have witnessed the man himself become the seed of an infectee, though these claims are wild and farfetched.
In truth, the man himself is not only a host, but a willing one at that, having already used his new compatriot to turn the minds of others. Once theorized, he was removed from the Assembly, and now wanders Sirius eyeing his next victim, watching them as they fly unknowing of the danger lurking within.

Allison J. Hunter
Date-of-Birth: October 31st, 799 A.S.
Birthplace: Dover, Planet New London, Bretonia space
Eye Color: Green
Hair Color: Brown
Home: Marshall Station, Bering system
Occupation: Battlegroup Harmony
Born in Bretonia, and nearly instantly orphaned, Allison J. Hunter (the J stands for 'J') was adopted and raised by James Hunter on New London, keeping a close eye on his only child throughout her childhood. Once of age, they moved to Liberty, where Allison would be able to bear witness to the relapse of the Fort Bush bombings, turning her forever. In a stand of patriotism, she enlisted with the Liberty Navy, using the war against Rheinland to not only further her way through the Navy's ranks, reaching Commander, but also defending her new home from the threat of southern invasion.
Being placed into the Third Fleet's realm of operation, she was soon assigned to the Battleship Omaha, under the command of Captain Allen B. Bradley, a fellow patriot, if self-proclaiming egotist. Bradley, however, would very quickly stunt her rise among the ranks, keeping his command over the ship and ensuring her promotions were kept at bay. Quickly fed up with this, and seeking an alternate route, Hunter was approached by the Third Fleet's operating XO, Vice Admiral Michelle Collins, who informed her via leaflets of Battlegroup Harmony, a separatist-focused faction holing up in the south of Liberty.
With a rush to bypass Bradley, and with concern as to the information shown in the leaflets, Hunter contacted the Battlegroup, the reply dishing orders she'd readily followed. Before her defection, Hunter was placed in command of a 'Victory'-class Siege Cruiser, the L.N.S. Shamrock Bay, the crew of which seemed willing, if a bit skeptical, of this course. Once through the breach, the ship was outfitted, repurposed and soon began to operate in the field, the vessel soon beginning to claim warships in the name of the 'purge' Hunter so elegantly speaks of. Accompanied by her XO, Jonas Gates, Captain Hunter continues to do the Battlegroup proud, the artillery of the warships she commands acting like a hound of dogs barking at Liberty's front door.

Alecti Baukmer
Date-of-Birth: September 30th,
Birthplace: Planet Curacao, Cortez system
Eye Color: Brown
Hair Color: Brown
Home: Ouray Base, Colorado
Occupation: Xeno
Born the child of an Orbital Spa & Cruise waitress and a Junker, Alecti never knew much about his father. The two were separated by the end of his third year, and due to a mishap with Corsairs in Omicron Gamma, his father was killed without him even knowing. His mother, Cindy, did her best to raise Alecti, and on her salary, she was certainly able to. She nurtured him until he became of age, where he departed and moved on to become a workerman for Ageira Technologies, hauling freight and cargo, and occasionally escorting shipments.
He wouldn't stay with Ageira for any extended time, however, as a mishap with a shipment of Trade Lane parts went awry, and he was let go on good terms. With his rather abrupt shade of unemployment, Alecti moved to follow a rather blunt way to make cash for himself. While he wasn't strapped for it, more money always helped, and in some ways he believed himself to be doing right, even when he wasn't. He signed on as a Bounty Hunter, escorting more pilots and taking down criminals who had become a bit too notorious. While this lasted for some time, and he rather did enjoy keeping people safe, one notable instance of a DSE convoy struck him down the path he now follows.
The DSE convoy in question, one bound from Baltimore to the Kensington shipping platform, was intercepted enroute by Lane Hackers. While there were a few too many for him to take on alone, he knew that with the convoy's support, they could easily outpower the Hackers. However, the convoy lead opted to leave Baukmer for dead, and rushed off with the rest of the convoy's escorts and firepower, leaving Alecti without backup and stranded a fair distance from his home planet of Curacao. He survived that day, by a miracle of luck, but to this day he resents DSE, as well as their pilots and captains. What support he got back from their chain of leadership was more of a slap to the face.
While recovering from Hacker attack in Cortez, Alecti was contacted by a pilot of the Hellfire Legion. He convinced him that the DSE convoy was corrupted by the same chain of leadership that was corrupting Liberty, and persuaded him to enlist in the Legion. While Alecti soon found that the ideals of the Legion were compatible with his own, he couldn't quite stomach the Legion's sheer ferocity and extremity, specifically in the field of torture.. This prompted him to look elsewhere, soon finding the same mindset within the Xenos Movement. Leaving the Legion with his rather closely attached Prosecutor fighter, he made his way to Ouray, where he made contact with Faye Monroe, the lead of a new branch of Xenos within the Movement, the Knights of Labor.

Jack Frasier
Date-of-Birth: December 2nd, 793 A.S.
Birthplace: Planet Denver, Colorado System
Eye Color: Brown
Hair Color: Black
Home: Battleship I.N.S. Abaddon
Occupation: Captain, Task Force Lancer, Insurgency Navy
Raised on Planet Denver, Jack Frasier had a fairly normal upbringing. While not exceptional by any means, he preferred to let actions speak for him. Joining the Liberty Navy in his early twenties, he remained a fairly average officer during his service in the earlier days of the war with Gallia. During an operation aboard a Navy cruiser in Magellan, the ship's captain elected to defect to the Hellfire Legion, bringing a still fairly fresh Frasier under the eyes of the Commonwealth. While not believing in the cause of the rebellious nation-state he'd found himself dragged into, the Legion's regimental function and devotion to duty and their code grounded his loyalties in place.
For the next few years, he served with distinction, but after the Bering Crisis which saw the formation of the Liberty Insurgency, he began to have doubts about the leadership brought by the Separatists' incorporation. After the fall of Kansas following the Liberty Navy's invasion of Insurgency space, Frasier was assigned to command of Task Force Lancer, after the death of the task force's commander on Fort Riley.

Biography
Name: Sir Frank Beauregard de Villiers d'Orléans, Libérateur de Quillan et le Capitaine de Sa Majesté le Roi.
Place of Birth: Troyes, Plateau de Blois, Planet Orleans, Orleanais System
Date of Birth: July 17th, 703 A.G.S.
Born, raised and trained on the temperate home of his family, Frank de Villiers began his life as the son of any prominent noble. Living with his two sisters, Annebelle and Rachelle, his noble father and mother, and his loyal servant and friend Jacque Allard, Frank quickly learned at a young age that his father's role in the Royal Navy would be his own in due time. Because of this, he was pampered, conditioned into a full descendant of his father, put through Naval school and trained to be a tactical workhorse.
By the time of his eventual enlistment, Frank had become a near mental duplicate of his father, surpassing the elder by nearly three years of conceptual tacticianship. Because of this, it didn't take Frank long to rise through the ranks, ascending like a winged angel to the command of his father's old ship, a 'Valor'-class battleship christened the 'Revelation'. The ship didn't make the man, but vise versa proved otherwise, wherein the Revelation, helmed and operated by some of his father's finest men, stood off against the head of the enemy Council force in Languedoc, which was only a fraction of the main force that slipped away. Regardless, the Revelation stood fast, de Villiers putting the remaining forces to the sword in what would be the most single-sided engagement of the ship's career.
Named the 'Liberator of Quillan' by his fellow crewmates, for leading the attack in knowledgement of his possibility of brutal failure, Frank was bestowed the privileged name of 'Sir', a title only kept by those knighted under the King's trusted banner. Following that, the Revelation and her battlegroup continued to pursue the Council, de Villiers fueled by a desire to serve the crown in any way possible, which to him meant following and engaging the Council wherever possible. This lead him to the newly formed La Nouvelle Avant-Garde, where he and his ship were inducted fully, the title of General being bestowed to him.
Frank de Villiers is typically known by his peers, men and comrades as a two sided coin, often conversing lines of honorable talk with the enemy before pouncing like a leopard. More often than not, however, he will usually default to his noble heritage, and speak to the enemy as if they were equals. Casual, if unorthodox, requests to stand down, promises of well kept imprisonment, and even the request at one point to try and win an enemy pilot's heart, de Villiers is an unusual specimen indeed.

Birthplace: Planet Orleans, Orleanais system
Eye Color: Blue
Hair Color: Black
Home: 5400 E. Menagetois Place
Occupation: Sergente - Gallic Royal Police
Born to two enterprising EFL employees on Orleans, Laura Malet began her adult life as a small time police conscript on her homeworld. After a time working alongside the GRP's ground contingent, she took classes at the Charlemagne Royal University on New Paris, mastering in Legal Ethics and Psychology. Once she had her degrees, she enlisted with the space corps of the GRP, working closely with the Royal Navy to hone her skills with the tools of the trade.
A rather young officer of the GRP, and already a well respected Sergente operating primarily out of the capital, she maintains a strict code of loyalty, both to the Kingdom and to her job. As such, she has a strong resistance towards corruption, and has been known to report fellow officers even on the suspicion that they may be thinking lower than they should.

Isaac Duloffre
Date-of-Birth: April 14th, 707 A.G.S.
Birthplace: Planet Nevers, Burgundy system
Eye Color: Blue
Hair Color: Brown
Home: Cabin 13H, Deck 14, CLN Saignant Diable
Occupation: Council Liberation Navy
Born on the resort world of Nevers in the Border Worlds of Gallia, Isaac had a rather strong attachment to the nation he'd been born to since his early childhood. Being a quick learner and a true follower of the ideal of political and individual freedom today held so closely by the Council, he was a natural at getting himself into trouble, and at many points in his youth found himself all too often within the confines of a small cell awaiting his parents to come and retrieve him.
He attended a small-time graduate school on Planet Orleans, but didn't leave with anything more than a desire to join the military. While not enlisting as soon as he was of age, Isaac had awaited until his tuition at school was complete before signing his name off to the Marine Royale. For ten years he'd serve the Marine, fighting Council forces in the Border Worlds and pirates at home. At times, he'd question his role as a pilot of the king, and this additive of hesitation to his routine would spark the end of his career at the hands of the Council. On a routine flight through Orkney after the start of the invasion, Isaac would be captured, his wingmates killed, and taken to the Council's then-hidden bastion of Roussillon. Due to his upbringing during the starting years of the war, what was expected to be a lengthy interrogation soon evolved into a plea for asylum, having learned the truths of the Royalists' actions against their enemies.
He was soon inducted into the Council's Liberation Navy, and through strong effort and little respite, he'd gained the trust and leadership of a true fleet captain. Commanding the strength of the famed Saignant Diable, a Redemption with the power to rain hell from above, he was finally where he belonged, and while he holds no joy in killing his former allies, he does in knowing their deaths means a freer Gallia.

Completed in 728 A.G.S. alongside her sister ship Marseillaise, La Galissonniere runs off a modified design of the obsolete Normandie-class of warship. Deployed with the rest of the Royal Navy as part of the Sirian Expanse, the ship operates on the front-line with many of her sibling ships, Marseillaise included.
Designed to take a beating, La Galissonniere holds a reputation as a brick wall, and was present during the push into New London before the EFL gate had been completed. Now operating as part of the coup-de-grace flotilla, ensuring that no ground is lost during the offensive.
However, while the ship may be experienced, her crew certainly isn't. Green to a fault with exception to the commander, the ship survives by sheer volume of ally alone. Should that wall collapse, it is unlikely the crew or the ship would remain in harmony.

12th Gallic Defense Flotilla
Gallic Battleship Saignant Diable
Date-of-Completion: May 15th, 719 A.G.S.
Home Port: Rambouillet Shipyard, Ile-de-France system
Hull Number: RCM-08/6
Commanding Officer: Commodore Isaac Duloffre
Executive Officer: Lieutenant Gaspard Carrell
Radio Officer: Sargent Joëlle Chapelle
Navigation Officer: Caporal Lola Vallée
Lead Engineer: Sargent Marie-Claire Marais
Birthed from the refit of numerous outdated Royal Navy battleships, the Saignant Diable was one of the first few 'Redemption'-class warships put into service for the Council's Libertation Navy. Based off the defunct R.N.S. Vérité, C.L.N. Saignant Diable rolled out of Chalons-en-Champagne in time to fly with the rest of the Council's forces southwards. Running alongside the Pamiers and De Grasse, she continued on with the Council's mission, operating primarily with the southern fleet on towards Roussillon and the Orkney defensive.
In 741 A.S., she was officially assigned to Battleship Oblique's detail following the defection of the crew. With the ship's proximity to the Tau-23 system, Saignant Diable was allowed to incorporate raids of the nearby R.N.S. Guillestre into the Oblique's role as a forward battlegroup. However, with the Council's assault into Picardy from the north and the Royal Navy's invasion of New London, the order was given for the Oblique to begin its offensive into the neighboring Provence system to set the stage for the invasion of Ile-de-France. Oblique, the Saignant Diable and the rest of the force backed by the Crayter Military mobilized into Provence to face Battleship Arles and her defensive force. In the ensuing battle, Arles and Oblique were both lost, leaving the Council to withdraw for the time being to reorganize the effort.
With the mobilization of the De Grasse into Provence following the clash of Arles and Oblique, Saignant Diable and the rest of the Oblique's task force that survived the battle linked up and awaited the order from command to launch the assault. Once the order was given, the ships mobilized into Ile-de-France, and brought a swift end to the Royal regime.
Saignant Diable took up its place with the Council-backed Republique, and even after the formation of the Confederacy, the war with Kusari, and the subsequent reformation into the Gallic Union, the ship and its staff remain on the side of Gallia as a whole. The ship and its station with the 12th Gallic Defense Flotilla remain in service, though have lost some personnel aboard other vessels to the streak of defections that ravaged the Navy after the Enclave's incorporation.

Gallic Battleship Strasbourg
Date-of-Completion: April 8th, 697 A.G.S.
Home Port: Avallon Fortress, Burgundy system
Hull Number: GNV-282/1b
Flag Officer: Commodore Sir Frank Beauregard de Villiers

Lead Engineer: Sous Lieutenant Charlène Blondeau
Gallic Battleship Strasbourg is a sub-modern carrier-armed battleship of the "Charlemagne"-class, constructed during the period of rapid military expansion before the onset of the Second Gallic Civil War. As with most Charlemagne-class battleships, she was designed with area occupation in mind, and therefore maintains a plethora of strikecraft bays and refueling arms built into the hull for supplying patrols. Her engine configuration is unique among ships of her class, dating to her incorporation into the Confederal Defense Forces, and remains a talking point among many of the crews she operates alongside.
Originally deployed as part of the Quillan Royal Defense Force at the onset of the Second Gallic Civil War, Strasbourg was re-deployed to reinforce Royal Naval units at Border Station Montpelier once word had hit of the Marne Uprising. Though light Council opposition began to quickly mount as the Council Fleet tore through the Gallic Border Worlds, the ship's mettle was thoroughly tested during the Siege of Languedoc, and along with Battleship Cassard, Strasbourg was quickly disabled by suicidal ramming attacks by Council warships.
The ship laid among the wrecks near Montpelier for much of the rest of the war. As Council forces marched on New Paris, and Royal Naval forces began desperate methods against Bretonia on the front, the newly founded Minarchy of Provence began combing through the wrecks from the fighting, and the Strasbourg's hull was hauled back to Fourchambault Shipyard for repressurization and commissioning into the soon-to-be-founded Confederal Defense Forces. Due to damage to her engine core from the same attacks that crippled her initially, Minarchy engineers put their expertise to the test, and after a year of reconstruction, the ship was moved to Rambouillet Shipyard under her own power for proper modernization.
After the formation of the Gallic Union, Strasbourg was reassigned to the Quillan Defense Force once more, and operates primarily as a hub for patrols into the southern fringes of Languedoc.

Gallic Fast Attack Destroyer Liberation
Date-of-Completion: August 18th, 741 A.G.S.
Home Port: Haute-Seine Shipyard, Picardy system
Hull Number: PAD-81/5b
Commanding Officer: Lieutenant Valérie Devereaux
Executive Officer: Lieutenant Maxime Le Sueur
Radio Officer: Sargent Max De Villiers
Navigation Officer: Sargent Stéphane Pélissier
Lead Engineer: Caporal Anita Girard
Gallic Destroyer Liberation was designed, like most other 'Penance'-class Destroyers, with the idea of a light, maneuverable and heavily armed warship 'dancing' around the battlefield. The ship itself called for a reinforced, but not heavy, frame capable of taking some hits and performing under stress, but not in an all out brawl. The crew, pulled from some of the most battle-hardened of the Council's northern flotilla, have been tested through action on Obstinate-class warships, the commander plucked from the executive of the Oblique's battlegroup shortly before her date with fate.
Recently completed in late 741 A.G.S. and then assigned to the Oblique's fleet as a support ship, the C.L.N. Liberation made a name for herself during the breach into Provence. Alongside her command ship, C.L.N. Saignant Diable, she was responsible for the defeat of over a dozen of the Arles' defensive flotilla, including the command ship itself after the Oblique's destruction. With the eventual deployment of the De Grasse to the Provence system after the loss of much of the Oblique's force, the order was given for the Liberation to covertly relocate to the Picardy system, where she participated in skirmishes against the forces of R.N.S. Saumur until the climactic Battle of New Paris.
After the end of the war, the ship remained at the side of her command ship, Saignant Diable, and assisted in exercising the Republique's control over its designated systems. The war with Kusari saw the ship rarely in action, separated from its command group for refits at Haute-Siene. She arrived too late to do much during the war, but what action she did partake in sealed Gallic victory in each case. The final battle in Languedoc saw the ship crippled during the showdown, and once more she was sent to Haute-Siene for repairs.
An aging chassis, speculation was made as to whether it was fit to upgrade the ship to the newer 'Gallant'-class configuration, but after outcry from some of the other ships that served alongside, as well as the crew itself, repairs and minor refits were made instead. With the mass defection of many ex-Council assets to the Maquis, the ship's presence within the newly formed Gallic Navy are every bit as important as they were during her tenure in the Council's Liberation Navy.

3rd Council Remnant
Maquis Heavy Battlecruiser Indépendance
Date-of-Completion: October 22nd, 742 A.S.
Home Port: Chalons-en-Champagne, Champagne system
Hull Number: OAH-117/0b
Commanding Officer: Lieutenant Auriane De la Croix
Executive Officer: Lieutenant Caro Roatta
Radio Officer: Sargent Gabriel Batteux
Navigation Officer: Sargent Marie-Claire Pasteur
Lead Engineer: Caporal Roger Cailloux
Maquis Battlecruiser Indépendance began her existence as Royal Navy Battlecruiser Languedoc, constructed in 737 A.G.S. to serve as a front-line warship against the Bretonian Armed Forces. However, she was recently recalled to the home theatre after threat of the Council's invasion into Picardy. Having been stationed with Battleship Saumur, the Languedoc took part in a failed raid on the Haute-Siene Shipyard Complex, being among the several warships disabled in the raid. Her hulk, noticed by the Council to be salvageable, was hauled through the anomaly into Champagne and put to work at Chalons-en-Champagne.
Indépendance was one of the final few 'Obstinate'-class battlecruisers produced by Chalons-en-Champagne before the fall of the Monarchy, put into service with the Council's Liberation Navy during the final preparation phases for the liberation of Ile-de-France. At the time, the ship was crewed by a relatively green team of personnel, brought in from a motley band of rogues, pirates, and rambunctious citizens who wanted to see the Crown burn.
After the fall of the Kingdom, the ship was relegated to patrol work in the south, clashing regularly with Enclave forces in Languedoc and Tau-23, and grew a rather brutal reputation for in-field ferocity. No ship they'd engaged survived long enough to either be scuttled by its own crew or captured by Confederal ones, which put the commander of the ship at distance with her own superiors.
After the devastating war with Kusari, and the subsequent incorporation of the Enclave into the Gallic government, the ship's crew reactivated communications with their former allies in the Maquis, and with the defection of the Pamiers and her cohort, it wasn't long before the ship itself joined them. The ship today serves as a frontline warship against the Union, participating in raids and other 'terrorist' activities, and with formal military training from the Council, they're certainly a force to be reckoned with.
