Johnatan Sader was born on Planet Manhattan in 796 A.S. His parents Thomas and Lily Sader worked for Universal Shipping as technicians. This meant that they always worked hard and John was mainly raised by the parents of his friend David. Not long after John became 11, his father was promoted and became a transport pilot. After this his parents wanted him to become the successor of his father or at least to continue with something similar. During his teen age this generated many conflicts between them because John wanted more. He wanted to go out and explore.
After he finished his general studies he started to work for many small planetside companies and gathered enough credits to get a pilot's license and buy a ship. After a year he took off from Planet Manhattan and started freelancing. He did not have enough credits to only explore so he started escorting traders. And he used the credits to keep his ship going and ventured into the sigmas and into the omicrons as well.
2 years after he left Liberty he learned that his father died during a pirate attack. After recovering from the shock and the depression his father's death caused, he returned to Liberty and applied to West Point. And after years of training and learning he graduated with great results and immediatly applied to the 5th Fleet. During his first year within the fleet he met a girl named Melissa Tomlin. And a year later in 822.A.S. they got married and bought a small house on Planet Manhattan. Little by little he got himself up to the rank of Lieutenant Commander. For a short period of time he was also the recruitment officer and training officer. This however meant more work behind a desk so he quickly resigned from this position. He then became the leader of the newly formed logistic division of the fleet and he was given the First Officer's seat aboard the Odyssey. Later as time passed he was promoted to the rank of Captain and recieved his first command aboard the Kansas. The sudden death of O'Neill and Sader's subsequent promotion to Admiral meant he could spend more time with his family and less time on the front. Sader on the other hand wanted to be in the middle of the action. This later prooved almost fatal when he disappeared with the Odyssey. After about 14 months of hardship the battered Odyssey managed to return home and dropped anchor at Juneau shipyard. Sader was in serious condition and was immediatley transported off the ship. After his recovery about two months later he returned to active duty, tho this time he asked for a position mostly behind a desk rather than the command center of a ship.
...Time to go. Food and water packed up for 3 weeks and if my calculations are good then i should have enough fuel to reach the next house. I also have enough credits for a month. First destanation Bretonia. I always wondered how new london cambridge and leeds looked like...
...Well 2 and half months since i left Liberty and it seems i spent more time in Bretonia than i wanted to. I'm kinda getting short on money...again. The escorting transports within a house is not paying very well and i cannot sustain myself without a job, time to leave bretonia i guess. I'll go to omega 3 and see if i can find a trader who needs escort to Rheinland...
...The last few weeks were ok exept from that blody red hessian attack on a Republican convoy i was hired to escort. Fortunatly none of the transports got serious damage expet from my ship wich looks more like scrap so for now i'm stuck on Freiburg station, for another 2 weeks untill they finish repairing my ship. Well maybe i should try taking a shuttle or something to Baden Baden. I've heard its beautifull during this time of the year...
...Man. The kusarian culture and people are nuts. It's really different from everything i so far met. I escorted kusarian traders but never thought that their culture differs so greatly from ours. Anyways time to head down to a bar and have some rounds of sake...
..Omicron Delta. One of the many intresting systems located in the omicrons but its also still full of potential enemies. The order, outcasts, corsairs and blody nomads. Man those things are ugly. At least the zoners are somewhat friendly...
...I just got a message from home. My father is dead. Had to cancel an escort contract and return to Fp11. Even though he didn't like my decision to leave and we argued many times i still could not focus on the job...even now i can't focus on what i want to say. I think I'll head down to the bar and have some drinks...
...This cannot continue. I do nothing else but sitting in the bar and i'm drunk 24-7. Also the funeral is near and it has been 2 years since i saw mother and the others. But i wonder what will be in the coffin, if nothing remained after that explosion...
...Finally home. But it costed a lot. My pockets are empty and there is not enough fuel in the ship to even get to orbit. But it doesn't matter i had mroe than enough time to think about my future. I think i'll join the navy. Maybe i'Ll be usefull there.
...Well i'm one of the best cadets, since i'm able to use my past exeprience as a freelancer though the controlls of the defender are a bit different and its a slower ship than mine used to be or at least this is what i can tell from the simulator...
...West point academy done and i was able to finish there with flying colors. Now i wonder wich fleet should i apply to...I'll think i'll try out the 5th...
...Well so far this i can say that i finally find my place. The 5th fleet is just perfect for me to be in. The fellow Ensigns are friendly and the higher ups are just as much friendly as they are capable. I've heard rummors that O'Neill and O'Howell are veterans from the nomad war. If i think i was 4 years old when they already piloted capitals, man, I'm a young child compared to them. In fact i could be O'Neills son his that old...
...This thing with Melissa is going pretty well. And yesterday she introduced me to her parents. When i told them that i'm a navy officer they were not as happy as Melissa and I expected and i think they are thinking the navyboy only wants to have some fun or something and as soon as i'm re-assigned to somwhere else i'll simply leave their daughter. But that will never happen...
..O'Neill has been acting strange for the past few days. Today i met him on the corridor when i was walking down to the briefing room in Juneau. He looked similar to me when i got the message about my father but still something was different. He looked like someone who is about to commit suicide or something, I don't know. Well maybe those months spent in one room with that computer genius will help me. After all i was wondering about O'Neill's past for quite some time...
...Oh my god. I knew that he is a veteran from the nomad war and he fought against the nomads but this...this is just too much. I wonder how on earth is he still able to continue... Poor guy...
...Today i asked Melissa about taking our relationship onto the next level. I asked her to marry me. She said yes. This single word was the best christmass present for me....
...This is just great...O'Neill offered me the first officer's seat aboard the Odyssey..wich is great. But it also came with a heavy price. He is preparing for somekind for a mission. And when i ran through the list it will be a very long one...GOd damn it. Best timing ever, now i have to leave my pregnang wife home alone without telling her where am i going and when will i return...
Jeus christ...Nomads ambushed us...the ship is bearly holding together. Repair teams are working 24-7 but this is still not enough. If the situation continues like this it will be a miracle if we managed to survive the day.
...Well the ship is now at least able to survive. O'Neill on the other hand ordered me to continue to the next system. I don't know what will happen to my family if i die here. Who will take care of em? I should have stayed home...
Finally. Home sweet home. Well not perfectly but almost. Yesterday we arrived in alaska and moored to Juneau. Jesus. The blody squids really did their job. A month long repair. At least i'll have some freetime go home.
...Well the core of the base is complete. And i the additional cargo bays are already under construction. I have a feeling that this will be the new headquarters of the logistical division...
..So much for Athena Station. The hellfire legion attacked us 2 days ago. They've cought us off guard and the stations deffenses were not sufficient. Fortunatly we managed to get off from the station with the escape pods. I have a feeling this will mark the end of base construction projects for a long time.
...Since athena, things have been somewhat calm. Apart from minor skirmishes at the magellan front and some other encounters with the hellfire legion things calmed down a bit. I have a feeling this won't last long but at least i have more time to spend with Melissa. Speaking of her. The doc's are certain it will be a boy, but, they said they wouldn't paint the room blue yet...
..So much for a somewhat peacefull time. God damn it. Nomads launched a suprise attack on alaska. And as a result O'Neill called almost everyone in from leave and increased the security in the system...
...I can't believe this...i'm a father. And even better both Melissa and little Charlie are healthy and ok. I asked O'Neill to be Charlie's godfather and he accepted it...Anyways. I gotta go back now no time for logs..
..Finally they released Melissa and Charlie from the hospital and i took them home. Unfortunatly i will only stay with 'em for 3 more days and then i will be on assignment. The my mum volunteered to take care of them while i'm away. But still i have a feeling i should remain with 'em.
...Jesus blody christ. The last thing we needed. The LSF primary fleet betrayed us and attacked us. I was commanding the Kansas at the time. Those dogs managed to create huge damage on both the 5th and the 1st fleet. I wonder how O'Neill feels about this. He even had to watch this from his office on Juneau.
...God damn it. Today we suffered a great loss. During an attack by infected forces on the Thalia Grace siege cruiser Admiral Jack O'Neill boarded the ship and got severly injured. Later he passed away on the ER of Radford. The person responsible for this is Milly Stone. I will find that bitch and kill her with my bare hands. O'Neill with his last sentence decided to promote me to the rank of Admiral and i was tasked to take over the 5th fleet's commanding position. Now i don't have anyone to point at and even worse people are poiting at me. Jack also decided to give his house on Manhattan to me.
...Today Captain Fox and I met an order Captain who is curently commanding an osiris class battleship. It was a very intresting. What he said only strenghtened my beliefs about this whole situation regarding the LSF directorship being infected. Jack always told me to treat the order as a neutral or ally organisation and mentioning his name helped a lot. We agreed that he will contact me if and when he wants to enter Liberty and that i will acompany him. Reason for this is simply to keep the unwanted visitors away. I also decided to test the Captain's trust granting him the acces codes to the Alaska Jumpgate to help me confirm my theory about the LSF...
...Yesterday after the meeting with Captain Kalh ended in cortez i returned to liberty to finally pack up Jack's personal belongings. And i found something intresting. After a nomad incursion in New York near fort Bush i contacted Kalh and told him that this is the time to enter alaska. He agreed and later we met in sector Charlie 7. Unfortunatly for us we were ambushed by nomads. THey managed to hit the Kansas's birdge and we bearly escaped it before the blast. Anyways i told him about the Odyssey's mission to the omicrons. I also told him that he became more frustrated after we returned. I'Ve managed to dig up that after we returned from the omicrons Jack started to search for the ex 5th members. Those who survived the nomad war. It turns out almost everyone gone missing or died in a mysterious accident. I also told him about Maverick and the Cinncinatti. I found a datapad wich was given to O'Neill by Parker Brooks the first XO of the Odyssey. The files on the datapad were encrypted but i managed to gain acces to some of the files. It was a map wich listed nomad activity from the past 4 years as well as marking the places where old 5th members were last seen or died. Not suprisingly nomad activity was marked high in all of theese areas.
...Yesterday i met with Admiral Jeremy Hunter from the Order in coronado. Kalh was right if we want to rescue Vice Admiral Hunter i should contact Jeremy. Unfortunatly the meeting was cut short by the outcasts and the Colonials.
Jeremy Hunter asked me to locate the Amenhotep after it was attacked by bretonians. Fortunatly for the Amenhotep i managed to slow down the BAF and bought time for Kalh to escape. Now i gotta find them. Fortunatly the last known location is pensylvania so i will start there.....Well. My idea was right. THe Amenhotep was indeed drifting in pensylvania. Unfortunatly Captain Kalh was injured so i had to talk with Lieutenant Anderson. The SAR team we dispatched did its job perfectly. The Amenhotep was repaired and later they managed to get out of the system and venture back to safety inot coronado. Unfortunatly the Auxessians attacked us and many of our ships got shot down but at least their ultimate goal the amenhotep was saved. Kalh owes me one thats for sure...
Yesterday Captain Kalh and i met in the texas system where he came up with a very intresting question. He requested asylum because he thinks the order changed. I don't really know what to think about this, after all he is an order agent and as such i don't know if i can trust him. It is possible that this asylum request is only made so that he can support his own or someones agenda, considering the fact that people are leave from liberty to enter the order and not the other way arround. Plus he also wishes to enter the liberty navy and serve within it to keep it secured from nomadic threats. I'm not entirely sure about this. But his reasons seem to be simple. He is loosing his supply line and more and more friends within the order and since he is surrounded by enemies in this sector of sirius he needs. Well i told him what he needs to do and who to contact. Let's hope that SECSTAT and SECDEF will approve his request.
Well after more than 20 years Juneau shipyard was able to welcome an osiris class vessel at the drydocks. After a very intense interrorgation we escorted the Amenhotep to Alaska where the remaining crew of the ship was arrested for further interrorgation by the NIS and ESRD. Now its up to the goverment to decide wheter or not he gets the asylum. But either way the navy just got an osiris and i'll make sure that the osiris will have the insignia of the 5th fleet.
Well i just got word that SECSTAT approved Kalh's request. He is officialy a citizen of the Republic and they also approved his request to be able to join the ranks of the navy. Obviously he requested to serve within the 5th fleet. Obviously the latter came with the condition that i will be held responsible for his actions. Can't say i'm suprised, in fact i kind of expected this.
I gave the CO position of the Amenhotep our osiris class ship back to Captain Kalh. The ship was repaired completly and got a new crew. Kalh didn't like this but it was not a negotiation. Besides i personally selected the crewmembers so i think he will have no further problems with it and he'll get used to it.
22.12.823
It has been some time since i had time to sit down and do this. It was a busy month. Now i finally managed to request a leave for christmass. Time to be with my family. The first christmass of my son. I cannot miss it. And i'm quite sure that i will not make logs for the next month. So this is my last log for this year.
..I'm done. Too many people betrayed us in a very short ammount of time. I instructed Drake my XO to deal with a really problematic individual, Curtis Jackson. With Drake's past training this should not be a problem. Altough i still don't like his plan. In any case Curtis will be dealt with...
..It seems the old man is still full of surprises. Just today i found a hidden compartment aboard the Odyssey. Pure luck from my part i suppose. It contained a box full with datapads. First i thought theese were his most personal logs but later dismissed this when i started to read through them. The info i found on them was very intresting. The most intresting part were the last few files. It seems the old man ordered Curtis to infiltrate the Helfire Legion's ranks in order to sabotage attempts of defections from the navy. But i still don't understand why did he have to realay the intell on defectors to Ames station. In any case this changes a few things. I had talked with Drake and instead of neutralizing Jackson, I want Drake to get in contact with Jackson aquire the data he managed to gather so far and get out. Or if things go south i want him to grab both the data and Jackson and get out of there...
..Sweet mother of hell. It seems that Drake has been captured by the Legionaries. So from now on Operation Into the Lion's den is a go. I don't know his plan to get out of the legionary captivity. In any case i should start planning the second part of the operation...
.Months have passed. And i'm starting to worry that Curtis maybe curtis indeed turned against us. If that is the case then Drake is not going to survive this. Without intell i cannot attempt a rescue mission. I don't even know where he's held at... Let's hope Curtis simply didn't make contact with Drake yet or that he did not find the opportunity to act without being noticed...
...Well a minor success. Curtis finally made contact with us. I wonder what took him so long. In any case we now know exactly where Drake is being held. The good news he is about to be moved to a more secure facility. This could be our only chance. We have to act quickly. The problem is that my fears were true. Drake is indeed held within Vespucci and with most of our assets focused on the war with gallia there is not much we can spare so we can't just barge in with full force and blast our way through the system to pick up those two. Instead we will go in with a smaller strike team. Create a diversion wich Curtis will be able to use and along with Drake get out of the place and meet up with the Navy forces and get out of the system before Legionary reinforcements arrives.
.Thanks to the intell we got from Curtis I managed to finalize the plan. It seems the legion thinks they are safe in Vespucci so most of their veteran and well experienced pilots are not there. This is good news. Reduces the chance of casualties. I provided Curtis with a civilian ship that he will be able to use as a means to escape Monterrey with Drake. They will meet up with the Odyssey and as soon as they are in the hangar bay we will use our new toy and get out of there.
..I think its safe to call Operation Into the Lion's Den officially over. Even better it was a complete success. I will be sure to thank the R&D guys. The Jump Drive they installed worked perfectly. And we managed to complete the mission with minimal ammount of casualties. Altough we lost some ships. We did not loose a single soul. On the other hand i managed to finally sit down with Curtis. He told me that he managed to stop a lot of traitors making it to the Legion. He also revealed that the reason he had to send his intell to Ames wasn't only because he could not risk being compromised. He also told me he relayed his intell to Parker Brooks. Now that is a name i haven't heard in a while. I can only wonder what he might be up to. This also brings up the question. Was going undercover O'Neill's or Brooks's idea?.

.As i mentioned in my previous report the presence of the Odyssey is required on the front. Melissa didn't like it. i understand why but duty comes first. I know she is upset, but she'll forgive me. She knows this is important to me and that i do this to keep this place safe. In any case hopefully this will be only a few months. We just arrived in Zone 21 new york. I should get back to the bridge...
.God damn it. We've been ambushed by nomads on our way to California jumpgate. And the situation isn't good. Hull breaches on multiple decks, engines are out. Communications array destroyed. They are working on a temporary replacement module from one of the fighters. Not ideal but we'll have short range comms. And this isn't all of it. We are not in Alaska as we hoped. Our navicomputer malfunctioned during the attacked or was damaged and now we don't know where we are. Thankfully we didn't end up dead so thats a pro. Aside from all the physical damage to the ship itself there's a huge issue with resources as well. Our water supply is really low. So as soon as we can leave this godforsaken nebula we will need to either find a station and get help. Hopefully we'll find one we have two months worth of water left. In any case the repairs are going and everyone is working arround the clock to get the ship back online. Or at least those who survived. We lost 260 out of the 800. And 50 including me are in the severly injured category. So now i'M completly useless. MAybe i should have listened to Melissa...
..We managed to repair the engines and left the nebula. Unfortunatly the system we arrived is not registered in our database meaning this system was never settled. Fortunatly one of the moons of the gas giant has a huge deposit of ice and our teams are curently down on the surface to collect it, so it seems our water shortage is finally solved. Now we just have to find a way home.
..Sometimes i wonder why am i even keep recording theese. In any case i decided to seclude myself in my cabin. I just can't look into their eyes. Their great fearless leader, who promised them a short assignment on the front. Where did i screw up? I should've known that something is off. Or better. I should have ordered the ship to engage the cloaking device. We would have arrived at the front without any incident....
..The morale of the crew is getting low. After months of search we found no way out of this system. The last anomaly we found was a jumphole but it was too unstable for us to use it. We could not even determine where it led. I instructed the chief engineer to focus on the jump drive. I know its risky. It could have been damaged during the attack. And even if we are able to repair it the ship is well below the safety line. With the current status of the ship there is a high chance it gets ripped apart when we attempt to jump. Still we ran out of options. And we are slowly running out of supplies we have no means to aquire here. On the other hand. After today's meeting when this was decided. Drake stayed a bit longer. He told me that i should not seclude myself here as the crew needs me. Yeah as a blody scapegoat i imagine. Someone to blame for our situation. On the other hand he told me something that still keeps me thinking. He said I'm acting exactly as O'Neill did. Except he had a reason to do this and i don't...

..had an awfull lot of time to think about the past. And have to admit that Drake was right. Its not my fault what happened back in New York. In any case i rejoined the crew and the morale altough far from ideal it's not as bad as it used to be when were hopelessly roaming arround the system. The jump drive should be ready so i'll head down to engineering and check up on Kara and her progress. With a bit of luck we'll be home in two days..
