Born somewhere in Liberty, in a family of hereditary alcoholics, Jack had a tough, but fun, childhood. He spent as much nights in jail as he did in his own bed. He had malicious intent as soon as he turned six. By the age of fourteen, he had already committed a whole lot of different crimes, namely arson, pickpocketing, grievous bodily harm, grand theft aero, assault, possession of illegal substances with intent to distribute, trespassing and a whole lot more. Surprisingly, he had never killed anyone, but that changed as soon as Daniels decided to finally ditch his home planet and take up bounty hunting. It did not go as planned and he had to flee house space. His situation was in fact so dire, he ran all the way to Omicron Delta, where he joined the Core. Under Guildmaster Max DeVirgo and his Guildkeepers, Jack was taught discpline and respect. He was slowly, but surely, molded into the perfect soldier. Ruthless, fearless and effective. He would go on to rise through the ranks in the next couple of years, and eventually, was promoted to Guildkeeper. Daniels had a strong bond with his comrades and he didn't hesitate to put his own life on the line in their defense. Time after time, he cheated death. One particular example was the Siege of Planet Toledo. Throughout the entire battle, Daniels was on site, with his trusty Moray, slinging antimatter left and right. Eventually, in the closing hours, his bomber finally succumbed to the damage and was disabled. Daniels was swiftly recovered and put in charge of a Mako - The WV Battleshark. Although now long gone, the ship was the cream of the crop back in those days. It went on to destroy the CV Matareya in a spectacular manner. Daniels' determination to destroy the Osiris was evident from the way he blasted his way through a few nomad cruisers. Naturally, the Matareya had no chance, the Moray kept it pinned down and unable to spool up it's cruise engines while Jack unleash the full wrath of the Battleshark on it. Jack was not a cruel man, however. He made sure to rescue whoever survived the fireball and bring them onboard the Mako. Rumor has it, that's when Jessica Scarlet abbandoned the Order and joined the Core.
A few more years passed, each with it's own up and downs. Eventually, Guildmaster C. "Cracker" Jack stepped down and named Daniels the new leader. At first, Jack was rather inadequate as Guildmaster. He knew only combat and nothing else. As years passed, he had a few significant failures. He lost fleets, but he also rebuilt them. When it became too much of a burden, Daniels gave away his title. But he was forever changed, he was no longer the mindless zealot. His essence had been altered. He planned his return for a few years and eventually in late 829 A.S. Daniels he did just that. He sat on the empty "throne" and restarted the Core. The upper echelons were left in complete disarray. Rank and file were non existant, the Core was effectively orphaned. Limping and barely hanging on the edge of existence. One step away from being wiped off the census. But there was work to be done. And that is exactly what Jack's plan was. Get the job done.
David was born on Planet Cambridge to two, middle-class parents. His mother, Sarah, worked for the Foreign Affairs Office as an Administration Assistant and general office-hand. His father, Anthony, was an Officer for the Bretonian Armed Forces and was a Captain amongst the Auxiliary Fleet. They both worked and served tirelessly to ensure that David would have a stable, but good upbringing - as any parents would for their child. Both Sarah and Anthony always wanted to have more children, but this was not to be the case.
Anthony, whilst on duty commanding his Destroyer, HMS Dragon, came under attack by a wing of seemingly organised Molly bombers, reinforced with a Scylla. They boldly stood their ground and fought against the Molly's, but with the numbers heavily against them, left the vessel destroyed - subsequently killing David's father, and the 142 souls on board. This left Sarah widowed and she never got over the death of her beloved husband. Her grief gripped tightly and she tragically turned to alcohol to numb her pain. David was much older by this point and he endured seeing the state of his ever-loving mother, but he felt like this was his time to find and make his own place in the world.
When of age, David joined the Armed Forces himself, with a view to somehow, eventually, serve Bretonia with distinction in honour of his befallen father. He server for nearly a decade, earning promotions and commendations for said service and found himself seeking more adventure, so transferred to the Secret Intelligence Service. After various vigorous, physically and mentally demaning tests via the selection process, attained a position within the SIS. Several more years passed and life of being a "super secret squirrel", as he frequently would joke to his fellow agents, never quite satisfied him - as dedicated as he was to his purpose. David had never been to the Omicrons before, but was always hearing stories of various things that would pique his interest - as such, submitted his resignation and after some time, was honourably discharged from service, packed his stuff and slowly but surely made his was to the Omicrons.
There, he happened upon Durban Station in Omicron Rho, owned by the Core. Whilst in the bar, a few too many drinks after what seemed like a gruesome and never-ending journey, met a small group of chaps. They talked the night away, through to when the main station lights would come on, all drunk as skunks, they talked him in to joining. So, he did and was cordially accepted by the Guildmaster. David grabbed and donned his new uniform, met the engineers and technicians in the bays and awaits what this endeavour may yet bring.

Mist, from his true name, Arthur Kelly was born on Planet Manhattan. His father, Albert Kelly was a navy pilot for the secondary fleet of Liberty and he died when he fell in a trap set by the rogues. His mother, Elise Baker worked for the Interspace Commerce as a crew member of a transport. She was in charge to count the ammount of goods onboard in the cargo hold. She deceased from a cancer. Arthur Kelly has an older brother, Marc Kelly. His brother, like her mother works for Interspace Commerce.
After school years, Arthur Kelly joined a mercenary group whom focused to get contracts from corporations such as Deep Space Engineering, Liberty Police Incorporate or Interspace Commerce. By joining the group, the leader gave the codename Mist to Arthur and it stayed this way. With years with their company, Arthur gained skills with very heavy fighters. Back then, he was mostly using an Eagle. He stayed ten years and left after being annoyed by the same contracts over and over.
At thirty, he used his Eagle and went for a long journey to the Omicrons. Known to be dangerous, it was a real playground for him. He decided to join the Core in the secondary division. They gave him a Requiem having the callsign of Mist-01. Because Arthur told them he had a lot experience with very heavy fighters and his codename, those whom were in charge to equip the new comers did not bother to find a hard name for the ship. After a year with the same rank, Arthur Kelly applied to join the main division. He saw a good career ahead.
A couple of Zoner parents, one researcher and one transport pilot made the move to this colony for work and to rejuvenate the Zoner life in exploring the edge of Sirius. With them were their two twin sons; Trex and Whesto Dwanian.
The early years for Whesto were pretty normal for a child with two working parents, education and spare time. Whesto did decently in the academics but found no real joy in it, he was more of a social person who took interest in the exploring part of the Zoners and pilot simulations. In his early teenage years this grew when joining his father on his work, transporting various commodities between Freeports along with Zoner escorts. Usually short distances for a Zoner with minimal altercations. Whesto admired the fighter pilots however and opted for that route when it came to further education and practice when he turned 18 in 816 AS.
Whesto's desire for the combat part of piloting grew with the Corsairs presence in the system and on the planet, causing his peaceful family much distress and they questioned their settlement in the system for some time. A year later, Border World Exports settled on the opposite side of the hemisphere and further activity was noticed on Planet Gran Canaria but also in the system. Whesto had begun his active duty as an initiate escort pilot, often on the same missions as his transport pilot father. His brother Trex had delwed into exploration and business all over Sirius, with time most often spent in house space or independent systems.
The Dwanian's plan to move again came to fruition with the fact that the systems beta star were going to create increasingly worse cyclic ice ages on Planet Gran Canaria. The mother and Trex moved closer to Ames Research station to continue their works, Whesto's father adapted and moved his place of employment closer to them as well. Whesto stayed a bit longer to keep Zoners safe in the Edge Worlds.
Then the time came when Bretonia sent their forces to occupy Planet Gran Canaria and the mass exodus happened. Whesto still feeling he was an integral part of the Zoner life out there, moved further out into Omicron Theta and Freeport 9 with its biodome. There the seriousness of the Omicrons started for him and he was tested as an escort pilot and patrol of the stations NFZ.
Whesto still felt unaccomplished and unsatisfied and accepted more missions with exploration teams and researchers in their security wing. It was on one of these missions he stumbled upon a leader of the Zoners Trading Consortium named Johann Boll in a Freeport bar. Whesto was intrigued by the more adventurous nature of this consortium and was offered a job by Mr.Boll, if he could pass their intense fighter pilot training. After hard work, failure and many lessons he passed the tests and successfully carried out minor missions for the ZTC and was added to their ranks.
Whesto eventually got tasked to secure Freeport 11's NFZ aside from his other obligations. Here he encountered many different factions and individuals, as well as The Order and the Nomad threat. Which skirmishes and wars he had to partake in for the sake of Freeport 11. This was Whesto's main concern, but not everyone seemed so distressed about it in the ZTC and Whesto wondered if The Order's initiative was more worth the cause or not. Since Whesto was seen in these battles his reputation with The Order grew, but he was still a Zoner and they treated him as such. He did however in his diplomatic efforts manage to acquire a license for The Order's gunboat, Hathor, but only fitted with Zoner tech. It came with a hefty fee but aided him in combat, which The Order took advantage of.
As time passed the ZTC's internal organisation stirred and was remade into the Omicroners. Whesto felt hope that this would increase their efforts at Freeport 11 and the Nomad threat in general. This would in the end not be true, apart from him and a couple of his wingmen. Omicroners organisation ultimately didn't unite and a big part of it departed on a voyage with a few staying, rebranding themselves into Phoenix. At this time Whesto and his wingmen were also betrayed by The Order more than once, who failed the Zoner calls for aid when attacked by Nomads at Livadia Shipyard among other incidents. The rug was swept underneath his feet and his concern about Freeport 11 reached none of his peers. Even the Zoners on Freeport 11 started acting delirious with some claming that Whesto was infected by Nomads coming back from battle. This was obviously not true. Now Freeport 11 was lost to him as well.
Whesto feeling powerless in his efforts decided to depart and become a Freelancer in the Border Worlds and Independent Systems until further notice. The chaos of the Omicrons only continued which grieved him to some extent but he did not know any course of action in any case. He also took out his anger on the idea saying "I told you so", most often to himself. Omicron systems stability had been his goal for a long time after all.
In 822 AS he heard of a massive battle between the Corsairs and The Core. It intrigued him, seeing he never got along with Corsairs ever since Planet Gran Canaria. In fact, he despised them, almost as much as The Order. The year after, he heard of the destruction of Freeport 11 and deaths of Zoners caused by The Core. It was another "I told you so" feeling out of frustration from Whesto's end, who had given up on it for some time. The Core however grew inside his head for a few years until he decided to learn more about their cause and their deal.
A visit to Dagger Station would turn the tide in Whesto's mind. He saw his reignition of a life in the Omicrons, alongside a faction and individuals who strive for the systems control and stability, at any cost. Waging war against Corsairs, The Order and Nomads in his efforts.

Status: Active External Links: < The Dark Harrs> Biography
Taden Harrs was born on the edge of Liberty space. When he was just a baby, his mother took him to live on a military base in the Texas system when his father was killed in what is now known as one of the very first Nomad attacks. Very little is known about his early childhood, as Taden has had such extensive brain damage that it is nearly impossible for him to remember his distant past. What is known of his past is in the glorious record of service in the Liberty Navy. He enlisted when he was just sixteen and was accepted on account of his extreme piloting skills and his familial circumstances. He quickly rose through the ranks and was made the leader of an attack squad. After a few years of fairly uneventful service, he was moved to a task force that was one of the first designed to investigate and counter the alien menace that was slowly becoming apparent. Taden quickly made a name for himself as a tenacious and brutally efficient hunter of Infected hosts. He was awarded covert honors for his work on black ops against unknown forces. After his promotion to Captain, and around the beginning of the public awareness of the Nomad Conflict, Taden was given command of a capital ship of his own. An Archer class cruiser christened The Syracuse. With this new ship and crew, Captain Harrs continued his mission to weed out any alien insurgents that had weaseled their way into Liberty space. He was given authorization to engage the Nomad presence openly and was one of the first to be in a full scale battle involving numerous Nomad contacts. It wasn't long before the incursion was at a head and the Syracuse was sent to the front lines into direct confrontation with the alien menace. Along the long trip and many stops to make their way to the precipice of the Nomad Conflict, Taden's crew was made a priority target for Infected corruption. He was so focused on taking the battle to the Nomads, he failed to see the growing infected insurgency growing on his own ship. So, during the climatic battle with the Nomad capital ships, a teleportation device was activated on the Syracuse and she was subsequently self-destructed. Somehow, Taden Harrs was able to survive the detonation and was rescued by a science vessel from the early days of the Core. He was brought to the then new H+ medical facility. He now serves the Core as a highly augmented fighter pilot hoping to reclaim his glory days and bring sweet vengeance to all forms of Nomad alien scum.
DOSSIER ENTRY Name:Daniels, Gabrielle Rank: Commander of the Core PMC LLC™ Age:Classified Specialization:Classified Cybernetic Augmentation:Classified Status:ACTIVE External Links: None Biography
Subject 19, a.k.a. Gabrielle Daniels is the direct product of Jack Daniels and Jessica Scarlet's DNAs, combined in a laboratory in one of the APM's countless blackop laboratories.
Specifically bred to be a soldier, Jack decided to "adopt" the subject as his own daughter and train her to take his place, should anything unfortunate happen to the then - Guildmaster. No further information about the subject's "childhood" is available.
In 824 A.S. Subject 19 was presumed M.I.A. after an attack on Freeport 11. The ship under her command, Battleship Tangra and its entire crew were lost. Subject 19 was extracted moments before the NEMP device detonated, which in return disabled her built-in tracking device. She was taken by the 13th and kept away from Omicron Delta and all Core personnel. This was an elaborate plan to keep her safe, alas, the situation changed and she was called back to active duty by Jack in late 826 A.S.
When the year 832 A.C. came, The Core was facing a major reform and Gabrielle, for one reason or the other, found herself as its Guildmistress. However, this was short lived. A few months after her initiation, she assumed the role of the first ever Commander of the Core PMC. Despite her past, however, her first order of business was to support the Zoners of Theta with their struggle to regain control of Freeport 9. Gabrielle had her own reasons, of course, but it was a pretty drastic change from nuking a Freeport to defending one. The Core suffered minimal losses as Gabrielle's hit and run tactics proved to be the right call, thus earning the respect of those under her command.
