BIOGRAPHY

Little is known about the Venator McAllister from his life before he helped Auxesia break away from the Core. Apparently an Ex-Order agent, a fact that is not widely disseminated to the majority of the Battlegroup, McAllister seems to have left the organization some time shortly before the Battle of Toledo. Having grown weary of the increasing fanaticism within the Order; McAllister broke away from the organization, scrubbing all records of himself and his time with them as he left. He posed himself as a Zoner, keeping an eye on the Order, continuing to study K'Hara and monitoring the the rising power of the Core.

McAllister made several contacts within the faction of the Core that became Battlegroup Auxesia. Having found a mutual understanding in the ways that the K'Hara should be dealt with, as well and an obviously dislike for the way that the Core and the Order were being run, McAllister helped formulate the plan for the Battlegroup to break away from the Core. He also participated in the execution of the operation, cutting across an additional Core group that was on its way to investigate and redirecting them to another sector before making his escape with Auxesia. For his participation in the operation, as well as his internal knowledge of the old Order and his decades of research into the Nomads, McAllister was given the rank of Venator, his name and origin hidden from the majority of the Battlegroup until its reformation after the tragedy in Kansas.

A naturally quiet man, Venator McAllister helps lead Auxesia through quiet contemplation and advice. He spends most of his time in research, commanding the science vessel Viator Erro. His age limits his abilities in combat, but he still participates in battles as needed, preferring to help formulate strategy, scouting using his light fighters, and covering escapes.

BIOGRAPHY

Amy or ‘Ames’ as she’s become known over the years is certainly a mysterious one. Born on the medical deck of the Battleship Phoenix in the presence of her father and mother who were both Naval Officers at the time. However it was unfortunate timing, the vessel was scheduled for an operation into hostile territory and just as the operation began. Amy’s mother, Megan Williamson, went into labor prematurely. By a week and a half to be precise and her father ordered the Battleship to fall back and allow the screening elements to take over the assault while this was going on. Amy is very like her Mother in that regard, she simply refuses to sit out of anything regardless of the circumstance and situation. Officially she was born on 25 March 797 A.S.

Amy joined the Navy when she was 19 in an attempt to do some good and received several commendations in both hand to hand combat and tactical intelligence. She acted as CIC officer for several years until her father was declared renegade from Liberty. Not knowing the reasons why, she was reassigned to the cruiser Louisiana and was acting captain for some time. She was in the Navy for years even after her father departed from Liberty.

Not long after this incident, Amy chose to be reassigned to Intelligence of the Navy, this involved her and her crew to partake in several dark operations. Her identity, ship and literal existence were possible deniability to her superiors. Eventually she slipped up and had her cover blown during an operation into Bremen. Her entire vessel was wiped from Navy records completely, including her identity. The disavowed heavy cruiser Louisiana continued to prowl these edge worlds for several months until it came across a Rheinland Skirmish which destroyed the Cruiser outright. Amy survived, one of the few who managed to abandon ship before it went catastrophic.

Since that point she resorted to a ‘Freelancer’ or ‘hired gun’ for anyone who was looking for a disposable asset. Taking up the odd job here and there to keep her life afloat. Though many of her friends mysteriously disappeared soon after. During this time she ‘dropped off the grid’ for the most part and this was an indication to several medical institutes she had been sent to of a developing mental illness. She was diagnosed with depression shortly before she joined the Aegis Initiative.

She has great difficulty associating with people now and even more so trusting her new ally, Joshua Hunt. Her desire to kill the man is overwhelming but at this point she has since run out of options. Besides the fact she would rather take her chances with a former enemy and person she actively hunted under special operations, as opposed to the consequences for turning herself in to some law abiding official. Amy is by law a married woman who married Tobias Cromwell when she was only 22. Now 26 she’s more or less cut off from her beloved and her two children. This is also having a significant effect on her mental state, though she keeps this to herself. Nobody is actively aware of her situation and few get to see her true emotion.

In recent times she’s taken a liking to the crew of the vessel Cincinnati, this being due to the Captain relating to her experience in the Navy and because the personalities don’t conflict entirely. Her personal thoughts are withheld as usual, when she will finally open up to these people is still uncertain and time will tell what effect this will have on her mental health. However there is clearly some trust in the fact these people were Ex Navy. Presently she’s acting Captain of her old division Carrier Titania II under the flag of Auxesia. The resurrection of this vessel was in thanks to the resourcefulness of Joshua Hunt and her former friend Nixie whom with a single Cruiser towed the Titania II from the Omega sectors down to Coronado unaided. However this friendship with Nixie ended abruptly over an argument regarding her identity. She since captains the Titania II alongside her first Officer Elliot Jackson. Whether there is any connection between the two romantically is unknown and unlikely.

BIOGRAPHY

Maverick O'Howell is the former Commodore of the Liberty Navy Fifth Fleet. Born and raised on Planet Manhattan, Maverick was married for several years, until a nasty divorce left him bitter with his ex-wife. A patriot to the bone, Maverick spent a majority of his life serving in the Liberty Navy. Originally an engineer on Juneau, Maverick is experienced with various types of vessels in terms of assembly and maintenance. In 821 A.S, Maverick was contacted by an illusive individual acting with the authority of the Liberty Navy first fleet, who organized a meeting with Maverick in private. Deep within the isolated and secure system of Alaska, Maverick O'Howell on board the LNS-Cincinnati awaited near Planet Anchorage. Eventually, an Oasis-Class liner seemingly materialized from no where. The vessel was identified as the Forward Unto Dawn.

As Maverick and Joshua Hunt spoke, unusual EM readings began to climb on the Monument-Class Dreadnought's scanner array. Suddenly, much like his time in the Nomad war, a massive alien vessel designated as Harbinger appeared and opened fire on the liner. In a desperate attempt to flee, Maverick flew into the crossfire and fired upon the hulking creature. The Cincinnati was crippled, and half its crew was killed, whilst the Oasis escaped. Maverick has held Joshua Hunt responsible for the death of his comrades, and would later get his revenge. Eventually being found by another Navy patrol, the crippled warship was towed to Juneau, and Maverick wasn't the same as he was before meeting the illusive character who cost him over three hundred lives. As the years went on, Maverick grew increasingly unsatisfied with his life in the Navy.

In 822 A.S, picking up Hunt's trail, Maverick was contacted by Augustin Pierce, who orchestrated the theft of the Monument-Class dreadnought Cincinnati, and the remainder of Maverick O'Howell's crew with Mav's blessing. Escaping from the escorts, and fleeing to the hidden Navarro facility in the Walker Nebula, Maverick encountered Joshua Hunt once more, who had just killed Augustin Pierce. In a fit of revenge-fueled rage, Maverick drew his sidearm and fired, hitting Joshua Hunt in the leg. Later coming to terms with Hunt's leadership in the Initiative, Maverick and his crew followed carefully along their new found path.

Following the merge, Maverick O'Howell, his crew, and the vessel he commands, remain active in Auxesia, relishing in the structured life far from the clutches of the Republic.

Noah Xonnel

NOAH XONNEL

AGE: Thirty-Four (34)

BIOGRAPHY

Noah Xonnel was born in Rheinland on planet Hamburg. He spent a majority of his youth growing up on Manhattan. Noah attended the local York University at a relatively young age, with aspirations of becoming an expert on the Neural Net. Upon graduating flight school, Noah lost his parents in an unfortunate accident which he calls 'A stupid coincidence'. Following this, he spent a lot of time travelling from place to place throughout the colonies, attempting to breach secure Government networks through the Neural net. These actions lead to his criminal record, being wanted for murder, espionage, trespassing, and destruction of Government property. Eventually, he stabilized his behavior, and found his way to enroll within the ranks of The Order.

In early 818 A.S, Noah became addicted to Cardamine, due to a close encounter with the Nomads, which he refuses to elaborate on. Due to the increasing psychological issues that arose in his line of work, Noah left The Order to pursue work as a Mercenary, eventually finding himself within the ranks of the famous Mandalorian Mercenaries. However, his time with them didn't last as long as he'd hoped. He later returned to the Omicrons, where his addiction seemed to take a toll on his personal being, yet matters continued to escalate. Adding on to the psychological issues developed early in his Order career, Noah experienced several traumatic events, in which he spent three years. Eventually, he calmed himself on the borders of insanity, and nearly lost his life many times.

Returning to the ranks of the Order, he stated he was forced out for treason, and has since been on the run. Being close friends of Keeper Revenant and Curator Endurance, they welcomed him with open arms as a friend and comrade, and he has remained with Auxesia ever since.

BIOGRAPHY

Daniel Archer was an up and coming private contractor for the Bounty Hunters Guild for several years. Earning plenty of credits hunting in his home as well as the neighboring house of Liberty, he had eventually purchased and hired a crew to operate an AP-385 'Orca' Gunboat, which was named Cairo. Spending the next few years earning his keep, Daniel came across a small contingent of Crayterians escorting a convoy through Liberty, which had been engaged by a group of Outcasts. Seeing it as an opportunity to earn some money, he jumped in and chased off the Maltese attackers. Thanked by the Crayterians, he was invited along for the duration of the convoy, where he was befriended by Felix Edwards, Jayse Maxwell and Winston Baxter. Fighting beside them for several days, Daniel felt more at home with them than he did on his own.

In 820 A.S, Daniel Archer applied for citizenship within the Crayterian Republic, and enlisted with their Military. He entered service in the Colonial Twenty-Seventh Flotilla - A forward assault fleet on the front line in Magellan. Finding joy in his structured military life with his newly made friends, Archer worked his way to the rank of Major. Fighting side by side with his comrades, based from the Ares - A Zephyr Mk II Carrier, was the peak of his career, with many successful operations under his belt. Near the beginning of 821 A.S, the Twenty-Seventh was pushed back into Cortez and engaged by unknown contacts, seemingly originating from deep within the Barrier. These new hostiles had weaponry beyond anything they've seen before. Dispatching of the contacts, Archer, Monty and Baxter tracked them to their source. An ancient, unknown jumpgate within Coronado.

Upon orders of Fleet Admiral Baxter, to conduct a counter-attack, the Twenty-Seventh in its entirety entered the Tau-117 (Drake) system. Immediately coming under fire from various vessels originating from nearly every house, the fleet was thrown inter disarray, scrambling everything in defense as more and more began to charge at them. Seeing them for the first time, The Nomads had arrived to aid their thralls. As the Tartarus and Ares burned in the distance, Felix Edwards was given orders to escort Archer to safety, as his port stabilizer had been hit in the fighting. Before they made it back however, a Donau-Class cruiser appeared and cut them off. In an act of sacrifice, David Avant in command of the Thanatos-Class cruiser Minotaur, charged the Donau. Even more hostiles appeared, mainly focusing the Minotaur, as it bought Felix and Daniel time to escape.

Nearing another exit, Felix Edwards was shot down, covering Archer as he made a jump to an unknown system. Flying towards the sun to get his bearings, Archer discovered he was in Newcastle, and hurried to the nearest station. This was the last Daniel Archer had seen of his friends, until he was contacted by Joshua Hunt on Jayse Maxwell's behalf, inviting him to the Initiative. Following the merge, Daniel remains within Auxesia, gladdened by the company of his remaining former comrades.

Justin de Bretagne

JUSTIN PIERRE GABRIEL GILBERT DE BRETAGNE

AGE: Forty-Six (46)
ORIGIN: Planet New Paris, Ile de France - Gallia.
RELATIVES: CLASSIFIED
HEIGHT: 6'2 (187.96 cm)
MEDICAL RECORD: CLASSIFIED
RANK: Venator
CALLSIGN: Belenus

____
BIOGRAPHY

Justin was born as the third son of an esteemed noble family, and as such, was far away from any tangible benefits from succession due to the primogeniture established by Gallic inheritance law. From the beginning of his life, he was given a good deal of autonomy and financial support in whichever path he wished to take. The path he chose took him into the realm of statecraft and politics, and as he completed his higher education, he was already taking apprenticeships under a variety of officials.

The political career of Justin saw him serve as an aide and minister for several nobles and several positions. He gained a broad knowledge of governmental workings and the art of governance. During his time aiding in the governance of the Provence system, Justin gained connections to the Unione Corse that would later prove to be invaluable for him. Many officials also noted he had a particular interest and knack for settlement of untamed regions on planets and establishing communities from scratch. In a sense, he was a natural colonist.

Once the explosive minefields that divided Gallia from the rest of Sirius were torn asunder by Council forces, Justin saw a wondrous business opportunity before him. Strategically using both his government and Corse connections, he established a successful smuggling operation that helped to run Gallic commodities into Sirius, and vice versa. The operation continued to prosper and grow rather smoothly for a year, but a series of abrupt raids and disruptions by the crown authorities forced Justin to flee the Kingdom and abandon the operations.

Now an exile from his home, the Gallic noble wandered around the wild space of Sirius, looking everywhere for some niche to fill that did not discriminate him for his nationality. The noble found employment in the service of Zoners in the remote corners of space, aiding in the colonization of such planets as Gran Canaria and Nauru. Struggling frontier outposts soon became booming colonial towns under his guidance and direction. The diversity and acceptance of the Zoner populations impacted him greatly, and he felt that creating a model society and civilization would be possible under the right circumstances.

It is unclear when the Gaul joined Auxesia, but he was certainly one of the first civilian members of the nomadic group, and one of the earliest leaders of the civilian population. He consistently pushed for better living conditions and rights for the burgeoning masses that continued to grow every day. For this continued persistence, he was given permission to direct many major projects for the Inner Phalanx, including the establishment of Ataraxia, where his previous experience and knowledge regarding planetary colonization spearheaded the main efforts. For his vital assistance, Justin was made a Venator.

As Venator, he works tirelessly to help represent the needs and concerns of the growing civilian body of Auxesia, aiding in the governance of bases and major population centers, and directing the construction and settlement of new homes and communities. As his specialty is colonization, Justin is often found on Planet Wichita, engaging in hands-on supervision of Ataraxia's development.

Adventurous and possessing a vibrant pioneer spirit, Justin is constantly pushing for Auxesia to establish its presence on any planets suitable for colonization and operations. He cares deeply for the well-being of the civilian population, using his new rank to advocate and provide for them. His hands-on method of leading has annoyed some, but does usually result in a marked increase in efficiency and progress for projects he directs.

MIRANDA NAGASE

AGE: Twenty (20)

HEIGHT: 5'4 (162.5 cm)
MEDICAL RECORD: CLASSIFIED
RANK: Templar
CALLSIGN: Edge
SPECIAL STATUS: MEDICAL LEAVE

____
BIOGRAPHY

A simple lifestyle, the ideal path of a Sudatorian taken down a quick winding road for some foolish thing called love.

Miranda Nagase grew up around a family of your average Libertonians: parents in pharmacy, and a brother in the Navy. Patriotism was always one of the key assets of Miranda’s life, so she reached with her brother to work towards the Navy, her true and innocent dream throughout her entire childhood. Miranda wasn't so innocent through her whole childhood though. Her dream brother, the aspiring Navy pilot, fell apart at age 10 for Miranda, falling into the elusive trap of Cardamine. Her brother was of course caught, dealing time in Sugarland before giving in 2 months later, found convulsing and dying in his cell of an overdose of a street drug. After this Miranda became a very silent person, but nonetheless continued to aspire towards the goal her brother started: to serve her country and aspire in the 'proud' Liberty Navy.

High school was a blank time, an aspiring scholar and patriot of Liberty, Miranda blazed through school. Becoming almost top of her class in scholars and certainly top of her class in ROTC in her school. After high school, it wasn't hard for her to go to the Navy and begin her star studded future career. Miranda was the model pilot, climbing to the rank of Lieutenant Commander after approaching her second year of service to the Navy. She eventually came into service with a rookie LSF agent, by the name of William Foulke, someone Miranda worked with for quite a while, and at some point realizing where she went blind in their "professional relationship". It was all up to change on a special assignment with the LSF in a remote system that Liberty officials do not often go near: Kansas.

The assignments details are classified to Liberty Database's to this day, due to Liberty's famous habit of covering up whatever goes wrong. A short sum of events would be that William Foulke had an accident, and Miranda did not handle it well. The classified gate kept under wraps in the system worked, with Foulke going through and losing contact on the other side, which is the moment where Miranda began her panic. Auxesia was the force present at the time, claiming to be professionals of their field they went in as the rescue party, the rather calm LSF agent on the Kansas side having to attempt to keep Miranda calm. After Foulke was found, he ran, Miranda searching frantically, with a party spreading throughout all of Liberty as the search continued. Eventually a time came with a message coming through personally to Miranda: Foulke had to run, and it was up to Miranda at that moment to either lie and let him go or to stick to her career. Miranda chose the foolish path of the time, choosing her feelings over duty to country, and fed the part false information, driving the search wrong and allowing him to escape Liberty, a decision that would drive Miranda to the wall for the weeks to come.

The next few weeks were relatively undercover, with Miranda assuming her normal duties, innocently unaware yet painfully nervous of an LSF investigation going on in the background. She avoided all traces of Liberty's borders, nearly refusing to leave New York altogether until it blew over, however this is not what higher powers had to plan. Miranda had a day of training a new recruit, but it turned south pretty quickly when that name showed up once again: Auxesia. This time the group popped up with a Hellfire ship, while Miranda did not see it, a Hellfire Cruiser had exploded, killing all the hundreds crew, except for the remaining captain "Stoneheart". Miranda intercepted this man, finding him nearly in tears, once again falling into her feelings and attempting to help the man, she pointed him to their base as an LSF agent and Navy reinforcements arrived, driving Miranda's anxiety of the situation through the roof. This, is where everything finally fell through, the little girl who worked so hard, saw the fall of her brother, only to break it all on a wish for a lover.

The LSF agent became frantic, threatening to engage the Hellfire at any second, encircling the Hellfire outpost within California as Stoneheart and another pilot remained near the base. Miranda was already anxious enough, but then heard a voice from the second pilot, breaking her entire world instantly. She knew it was him, it had to be William, and she snapped, and broke her entire dream opening up an LSF agent of Liberty. She drove him back to Liberty, fleeing into the badlands with a final goodbye to her home.

After this episode, Miranda followed Foulke to Auxesia, working with him for a time until his recent disappearance in the Omicrons. While Foulke's disappearance is always in the back of Miranda's head, it doesn't stop her as she works forward, dedicated to Auxesia’s mission, working for what William had to the place for. Now more than a refuge, Miranda had no other place to go not under the eyes and ears of the LSF, so she embraces Auxesia, although possibly not yet fully accepting of it as more than refuge, she works towards acceptance, to find a new home, since hope for Liberty is likely lost.

Tantalus

TANTALUS

AGE: Thirty (30)
ORIGIN: Planet Leeds, Leeds System - Bretonia
RELATIVES: Unknown
HEIGHT: 6'0 (182 cm)
MEDICAL RECORD: CLASSIFIED
RANK: Paladin
CALLSIGN: Demon

____
BIOGRAPHY

“Tantalus” was born in a gritty mining community on the southwest hemisphere of Planet Leeds, at the height of the mining period within the system. Like most children born on Leeds, Tantalus was given away as a child, never knowing his parents as they gave him away to head back to their work as grunts of the mining corporations. Tantalus grew up amongst a fostered family, which to this day he remembers quite fondly. However whilst growing up this family, they had never given him a full name that his parents lacked the will to give him upon his birth. While the name “Tantalus” has only followed him since his time in the Order, growing up on Leeds he was known by his family and few friends as “Shade” due his reclusive nature and want for seclusion amongst most of his peers, despite making a fair few friends that are likely still alive, and likely despise him now in 823 A.S.

Entering his teenage years, it was normal for the youth of Leeds to begin learning the trade of mining and carrying along the business their parents had been doing since their teens. Tantalus leaned more towards the very scarce, top class Neural Net Science’s at the sole University that was established on the planet: Planet Leed’s Consumer Studies University. The college was something unimpressive and meager compared to the top minds of Cambridge, and was a goal that Tantalus devoted his time towards in his primary schooling. A favorite hobby of Tantalus in his downtime was taking a day off of school, once in awhile, and jet off towards Dublin in a little Cavalier fighter handed down from a good friend training in the local BPA department. That little Cavalier was a dream for any child on Leeds, and Tantalus took it towards Dublin, using it to race. He encountered more than a few notable characters racing, developing a knack for betting on the sport and running into the infamous racer Dexter Hovis more than a few times as a regular visitor of the hood in 808 A.S.

After Primary school, Tantalus managed to get a scholarship to the University of Leeds, elated and going into the University for his studies on Neural Net Science’s. Freshman year as one of the few students on Planet Leeds’ sole University was a rush over Tantalus. He had the drive, studying diligently for his first year in his four year program. Around October of 809 A.S, Tantalus was on his own in his dorm, working on projects within the deep Neural Net, on a proxied database to access deeper files in the Neural Net. Eventually coming across files on what all of Sirius had cast off after the Nomad war 8 years ago, the terrorists known only as The Order. The University had been tracking Tantalus’ adventures within the deep Neural Net, and found it rather troubling to themselves that their students were browsing this kind of “propaganda”, so they took it upon themselves to call the Armed Forces and wait until Tantalus was removed properly from the campus. Tantalus had never seemed more surprised than when his quiet college dorm door suddenly fell to the floor from a loud boom.

When the Armed Forces caught whiff of Tantalus and his snooping into what shouldn’t be, they were rather aggressive in their approach to take care of the problem they saw. Tantalus immediately reacted when the Armed forces arrived, but nonetheless the soldiers overpowered him in the small environment and had him on the ground in cuffs. Tantalus was escorted aboard a Clydesdale and left alone while the officers searched his room for any other signs of ties to the terrorist organization. While they left, he reacted as quickly as he could, breaking the glass the peered from the back into the cockpit of the empty Clydesdale, and piloted an AI as far as it could go: to the Kyushu system on the western end of Kusari. Tantalus never looked back from Bretonia that day, heading towards Kusari with a new goal in mind and the image of the Eye of Anubis implanted in his mind.

Tantalus arrived in Kusari shortly after, only a few days after his escape from Leeds. He huddled in the bar on Planet Kyushu for a few days recuperating from the pure shock of what he had went through, his own house betrayed him, forcing him out of his dream in University for what were branded as terrorists. After recuperating, he headed back out, speeding towards the Sigmas after talking to a few locals on how to get to the Omicrons. After a few days of travel, he stood on the cusp of the Omicrons at the Omicron Theta jump hole in Sigma-17, and jumped in, to plunge into his new future away from the censorship of the houses. The Omicrons were something he had never experienced before, gorgeous but immensely hostile and untamed. Tantalus eventually came on to the Omicron Minor system, stumbling around before pleading his case to an Order patrol, and being led to the stronghold of Planet Toledo. From there he became a mechanic of the Order for the next 7 years, repairing ships and going on the occasional patrol with the regular pilots before 816 A.S. came, and with it the biggest eye-opening experience Tantalus had yet had.

The Battle of Toledo is something ingrained in the mind of every Order agent that survived that day, of which very few remain. Tantalus was acting as an engineer onboard a freighter convoy bound that day for Liberty, he even remembers the freighters ID number: OF-8217. The freighter was just getting ready to lift off after prep, before the alarm sounded across all of Toledo that a Nomad force that would dwarf even the resistance the Order faced 15 years ago in Omicron Major. It was Tantalus's job to be thrust into the cockpit of an Anubis and learn to fly it in the space of 5 minutes it would take the get to get out of the atmosphere. The experience guiding the freighter was short, as it practically evaporated, caught in the fire of a Nomad Guardian. All Tantalus could do was keep his head down and suffer, watching in horror as Toledo, and all the inhabitants left on it, where consumed in molten fury as the tectonic plates parted, letting the liquid magma beneath the surface bubble up and consume those left on the surface.

All he could do was turn off his radio to keep himself from losing his mind that day. From low orbit he could almost see the masses of bodies.

After Toledo was lost, Tantalus wandered with the Order, eventually coming onto Akabat a month after its initial discovery and after base camps had been set up. Over the years, the Order built up its might on Akabat, and Tantalus had received the Medal of Isis for surviving the fall of Akabat. While Akabat was restructuring, Tantalus was assigned as a regular patrol pilot, and transferred briefly for a time to a 'Dark Wing" squadron, before shortly leaving and acting as a secondary fleet pilot.

In 820 A.S, four years after Toledo had fallen, things were slowly getting back to normal. Tantalus had been approached by the commander of one of the surviving battalions from Toledo, the O'Rhu cell, growing rapidly in their niche of stealth and recon. Tantalus took up the offer of the leader, Jason Orack, to join the battalion. Tantalus flew with this Battalion for ages, before eventually getting assigned by Orack down to Bretonia for monitoring of the Newcastle system and to reach out for any sort of... diplomacy with Bretonia. His attempts there were unsuccessful, and eventually he gave out and was lost to O'Rhu for an entire year, under the radar and lost in his cause.

Tantalus was spotted by a secondary fleet Order agent roughly a year later in Dublin playing a rigged poker game against some Junkers. The agent recognized the tatters of Tantalus's O'Rhu uniform, shortly after dragging him out and having a... sit down with the agent and reminding him of his mission. After dwelling on the matter for a few weeks, Tantalus took it upon himself to finish what he started, and ventured towards the Omicrons on the Hathor class he had left on. It didn't take long to find Orack, and after a long talk got back into the fray of the Order... after jumping through a few hoops of course.

Tantalus acted as a captain and field commander in O'Rhu for roughly the next year, and on July of 822 A.S, started something that would grow to affect his entire future, Operation Spear and the Horus Battalion. Horus was originally meant as something small, and Tantalus was chosen to be one of the commanders of the Battalion to lead it against the Core in the capture of Dabadoru station. The role was simple, act as a cloaking force that would infiltrate the front lines and attack the objective. It worked wondrously to plan, driving back the Core with the Resheph sized hull of the soon to be, OCV-Razgriz.

Horus fell into the cracks afterwards, and Tantalus worked within the secondary fleet after detaching from O'Rhu shortly after Operation Spear. This was a relatively quiet period for Tantalus... as he worked simply on furthering the Orders goals, before an opportunity came up to rise farther up in the Order than he ever had before, to bring back the glory of the Horus Battalion. Tantalus was offered by Kelly Hellion, a pilot he had worked with before on Horus in its initial creation for Operation Spear. After a few months of planning, Horus was re-instated within the ranks of the Order Primary Fleet as a Stealth and Reconnaissance Battalion. The hull of Tantalus's old cruiser, OCV-Razgriz was also scrapped and Rechristened under a new Osiris class outfitted with the latest in veil and stealth technology from the Order. This ship acted as the mobile headquarters for Horus and has been under the command of Tantalus since then, although now its colors fly in a flurry of confusion.

Over his time in O'Rhu, Tantalus came to know certain people who have been dubbed his enemy, notably Sapphire Raven, an ex-Core pilot and now commander of Battlegroup Auxesia in the Inter-House sectors. It was no secret to closer friends of Tantalus that he did not wish to harm many humans in his time, so he was welcome to befriending even some of his human enemies. This followed Tantalus, through his time in the Omicrons even to meeting with Raven a few times outside of the Order and everything else going on, until one day he went a little further than normal for a visit. Tantalus went down rather suddenly to Coronado under the ploy of a black ops project, where he asked Raven for a place to stay in that week. It was in that time that Tantalus got to meet the pilots of Auxesia and explore more in depth just what Raven was leading. Tantalus had no personal vendetta against them, and when he casually left and returned, things got a little more than heated in the aftermath.

After Tantalus returned to the Omicrons, it was a peaceful yet short peace before Admiral Jeremy Hunter, an Overwatch memebr Tantalus had sparsely worked with in the past, called Tantalus back down to Coronado, this time with the heaviest guns he had. Tantalus at the same time, got a communication from Raven talking about the same situation Hunter presented to him... Vice Admiral Alexis Hunter of the Liberty Navy. Tantalus moved to Coronado as quickly as he could with the ship, quickly being thrown into a vanguard of events everywhere from discovery to betrayal. The Razgriz and Tantalus sat in Coronado, quickly dispatched from the Order with Auxesia close to their side along with any signs of the Order's activity. Tantalus is currently listed as MIA in any Order database's, as his personal connection with any database in Mu or otherwise has been cut off for him to access. Tantalus sat in orbit of the small moon of Jericho, working with Hunt and Raven to coordinate the exit of the Razgriz after the Order caught wind of what Tantalus had been doing down in Coronado.

It took all his will to drive the men he had come to know off of the Razgriz, and all his heart to let a TL-45 mortar pierce the reactor of his prized vessel, but it was all in the name of the future. To Tantalus's knowledge, the Order believes he lies dead among the fake wreckage out in Magellan, while the real Razgriz sits in Inverness, flying the Auxesian flag and rechristened as "Andraste".

Tantalus now resides as a Paladin, a close friend of Joshua Hunt and Raven, he is yet to become acquainted with the rest of the high command of Auxesia, all he is focused on now is keeping himself, his ideals, and his ship safe as it sits, guns ready for the next threat to appear over the horizon.

BIOGRAPHY

17th Generation Syrian Bretonian Nesrin Ezra Elhertani Khan is the holder of a number of bizarre claims within the Battlegroup. Tallest serviceman within the battlegroup, most elderly officer within the command core, first known sapient to be simultaneously inhabited by two, self-aware alien intelligences at once without one inhibiting the cognitive function of the other, the most capable deck chief with the fastest fighter turnaround time in the battlegroup, most likely crew member to survive in the event of a core breech on the Eidolon, and the most heavily augmented transhuman within the battlegroup; the ratio of synthetic components verses Terrene biology in her physical form surpassing even Raven and Hunt. Khan, a practicing Sunni Muslim in an era afflicted by a dearth of theology, forms a living monument to Auxesia’s core tenets - survival through technology, advancement through strength, spirituality in life, honour in the protection of others. Sadly, she is also emblematic of the failure of these ideals.

Khan is a capable pilot but an inhumanely perceptive systems engineer, viewing the opportunity to tinker with small craft and shuttles as a godsend rather than a chore, projecting herself into her work with unrelenting diligence. It was in this capacity Khan’s service record in the battlegroup is primarily occupied, servicing strike fighters and the Eidolon Wraith herself. Khan does not appear to require sleep, although eats ravenously, despite apparently lacking a digestive system. Only recently did Khan request transfer up to the rank of flight initiate, claiming an inherent hunger for combat flying and a latent ability that exempted her from initial training regimens. Whilst her integration into Hussar wing has been not entirely smooth, Khan is rapidly making a name for herself amongst the Eidolon’s support guardian wings within the Omega operations theatre, an environment Khan has taken to like a second home. Khan is an adept logician, and appears to have a significant awareness of classical Earth theology and philosophy, although how much of her education is a result of pre-augmentation experience or post-augmentation neural-net integration is unknown, and will often give ethical, if non-judgmental appraisal of the actions of others. Khan possesses the mind of a rhetorician, locked within the body of a walking tank.
