|| Dominic Howard - Secondary Fleet Core || - TheDoctorIX - 09-16-2013
Name: Howard, Dominic.
Age: 30.
Height: 5'11.
Weight: 200.
Experience: Liberty Warship Commander/Captain for 10 years, 2 years of Battle Tactics College,
4 years of Flight Academy.
Father: Howard, James.
Mother: Howard, Ann-Marie.
Autobiography:
My name is Dominic Howard, I am a Naval Officer in the Secondary Fleet Core. Ranked as
a Captain commanding the 'LNS-Anchorage' CV-1 'Osiris' Class Battleship. I was born and raised
on Planet New London in Bretonia, the Howard family have a long serving history; to both the
Bretonia Armed Forces and the Liberty Navy. A Bretonian in the Navy you might ask? Well it's
been a proud tradition of the Howards bloodline to serve in both, many generations of our
family have done so for hundreds of years.
I left New London at the age of 18, after graduating from school and college. My father was
a Chief Logistics officer of the Liberty Navy, suggesting I apply for the Military Academy
at West Point. I heeded my fathers advice and applied straigh away apon arriving at Manhattan.
It was a intense and grueling course, both physical and mental to see if you had what it took
to be a pilot in the Navy. I graduated with distinction from West Point after my 4 year training
regime, both my mother na father were very proud.
My graduation from West Point had brough several oppertunities with the Liberty Navy, I was
contacted several times from different branches asking for me to apply in their department.
I took a month to decide what I wished to do, and decided to take my studies to the next nevel.
The Office of Naval Intelligence was running a 'War Academy' course, to teach young officers
the Tactics and training of Capital Class Vessels, ranging from Gunboats all the way up to
the Liberty Dreadnought.
Apon completion of the course, much to my own suprise I was promoted to the rank of Commander.
My instructors must have seen real potential in my tactics and leadership abilities, several weeks
later I was contacted by Vice Admiral Ash Hill of the Secondary Fleet Core. I was offered my first
commision of my own Warship, the LNS-Harbinger which was a Liberty Assault Battlecruiser. I swore
to both V. Admiral Hill and my crew, that no matter what would happen, I would protect my crew first
upmost.
The Harbinger and my crew set off on several recon missions of various systems, ahead of the rest
of the fleet. She was outfitted with several Dock Modules and a wing of fighters. We had discovered
a unknown Jumpgate of unknown origin, we were ordered to investigate further and we proceeded into
the gate. Apon our arrival we were mesmirised by what we saw, a Nomad Fleet..I immediatley tried to
report what we had discovered but our comms were jammed. I knew what we had to do, this Fleet was heading
to Liberties Core Systems through a secret Naval system. I couldn't allow it and tried to slow them
proceeding.
I launched everything the Harbinger had, all the fighters and ordered my gunners to fire at
targets of oppertunity. Their ships drew closer and couldn't hold them off any longer, I ordered
engineering to set course for the Gate and try to return us home. There was no way of holding them
all off, we were severely outnumbered. Just before entering the gate we were hit by some sort of
Mortar and it killed the Harbingers engines, luckily we continued to drift forward into the gate
and emerged on the other side. Once my fighter wings jumped back through after covering the retreat
they were recalled and the crew boarded the fighters and escape pods. If we waited around any longer,
we'd be destroyed. We escaped back to alert the Fleet, but had lost the Harbinger. Not a single member
of my crew lost their lives that day.
Several years had passed since the encounter and was given comission of the 'LNS-Spirit.of.Fire' as
a temporary replacement vessel.
One day shortly after my 30th birthday, I was called for a meeting with Vice Admiral Ash Hill
and LSF's Director of Homeland Secuirty Jason Booth.
Both myself and Tyrone Carter, Secondary Fleet Core Captains attended this meeting. We were informed
of a joint Commissioning of 2 Recon Vessels of prototype origins, 2 CV-1 'Osiris' Class Battleships.
Both ships 'LNS-Anchorage' and 'LNS-Alaska' were to serve as the first joint programme between LSF and
SFC. As experimental and prototype Flagships for the Secondary Fleet Core.
Several weeks later after agreeing to take the positions, myself and Captain Carter were taken to Juneau Shipyard
in a top secret Naval system. We stared out the bridge stunned by what we saw, both our new ships in the
Moors. We were both very suprised by the sheer beauty of the 2 fine vessels, Captain Carter boarded the 'Alaska'
and myself Captain Howard boarded the 'Anchorage' and began our way back to Norfolk shipyard under
escort by SFCs LNS-Vanguard commanded by Captain Hagan.
