...Loading Recorded Biography...
Aki Kimura was born on a cargo transport designated "Blue Frontier" in Tau-37, en-route from Bretonia to Kusari, in 792 A.S. Her Mother was Suki Kimura, a full-blooded Kusari woman who had once been a proud member of the Golden Chrysanthemums - but had become increasingly addicted to cardamine until she could no longer concentrate during battle. After being captured in combat, Suki was sold as a slave, willing to do anything for another hit of Cardamine. Her Father was Charles Wicksburgh, a Half-Bretonian trader and the owner of the transport on which Aki was born. Charles 'purchased' Suki to keep him occupied during extended trips through the borderworlds, keeping her drugged up on cardamine and oblivious to what she was doing. Suki Kimura died during childbirth due to complications and lack of proper medical facilities, leaving Charles to care for Aki alone and against his will. After discovering Suki had a sister living on Honshu, Charles made one last trip into Kusari to deliver the child to someone who might actually care for it, and dissapeared into the borderworlds afterwards.
Thus, Aki grew up on Planet Honshu, raised by her Mother's Sister. Aki proved to be an exceptional student in her youth, but was easily distracted by daydreams and fantasies of space travel. Against her god-mother's wishes, she signed on with Kishiro Enterprises at the age of 16 as an escort fighter pilot.
The Kishiro pilot training course took a standard student six months; Aki completed it in two. She proved to be an exceptional fighter pilot, though eccentric and unpredictable in behavior. She was considered by fellow pilots a hot-shot that was as likely to be shot down by allies as enemies. After roughly two years of service escorting Kishiro's transport convoys, she found herself in a battle worse than any that had come before; Blood dragons had ambushed the convoy as it moved through Hokkaido, and had quickly dispatched Aki's wingmen.
Against all odds, Aki held back the Blood Dragon onslaught until a Kusari Naval Forces patrol arrived to investigate the distress call sent out by the Kishiro Convoy. The Commander of the patrol was thoroughly impressed by Aki's skill and handling of the situation, and offered her a recommendation to the Naval Forces Flight Academy. Aki took it without hesitation; the chance to fly some of the best fighter craft in Kusari was one she could not pass up.
Similar to her Kishiro training, Aki completed the Naval Forces flight program in nearly half the time it took others. She served onboard Battleship Matsumodo for four years, and during that time became increasingly worried about the direction the Kusari Government and Military were taking. The highest ranks within the Naval Forces and Government had been infiltrated during the nomad war, and the nation was doing nothing about it. Rather than deal with the problems at hand, the Naval Forces became increasingly more aggressive against Bretonia in the Tau systems, and Aki was sent on more and more missions against local pirates.
Alien threats were coming into view, and they were being ignored by the masses. Everyone seemed more than happy to play ignorant in the face of impending doom, and Aki grew frustrated at their inaction by the day. During her final year serving with the Naval Forces, Aki was contacted by members of the "terrorist" organization known as The Order. To most, they were nothing but rampant militaristic criminals, but their purpose was presented to Aki quite clearly: to defend Humanity, in it's entirety, from any and all nonhuman threats in Sirius. They were just the thing Aki had been looking for, an organization that payed attention to space beyond House Borders, and wasnt afraid to combat threats that arose from that space.
Aki joined up with The Order a week later, dissapearing from Kusari space without a word. The Order wiped all record of her existence outside of their own secure databanks, and Kusari Naval Command listed her as missing in action, presumed to have been killed on her last mission against the Blood Dragons. Upon admittance into The Order, Aki spent a month learning about their technology, their ships, and their enemies - which proved to be more vast and more powerful than she had ever imagined. While she believed the nomads were the only threat to the human race, she was informed of other groups of aliens and unknowns, including the Phantoms and The Wild. After a month in training, Aki was given the rank of Ensign and assigned to an Anubis-Class fighter wing.
Two months later, after a perfect record and dozens of kills, Aki was promoted to Lieutenant, and given both her own fighter wing as well as one of the newer, more advanced Nephthys class fighters. The promotion paled in comparison to her future, however; Only a month after her rise to Lieutenant, Aki was pulled back by High Command and assigned as a pilot to the Pakhet - one of the first ships in the joint Order/Zoner fleet project.
The Pakhet, a Zoner-designed Fearless class destroyer, had been refitted with Order technology. The crew was a mix of the two factions - the purpose behind the project being to adapt Order personnel to Zoner ships so that they could be added to the active fleet, and so that The Order could implement Zoner design into their own future warships. In exchange for Zoner vessels, The Order gave their newfound allies enhanced technology and weaponry gleaned from Liberty's most classified shipyards and from alien ruins found on the borders of Sirius space.
During her service aboard the Pakhet, the reigning sub-comander was killed in an engagement with nomads which nearly rendered the Pakhet crippled. For her rank and excellent past record, Aki received a field promotion from the ship's Captain, taking the sub-commander's place as second in command. For the duration of her service aboard the Pakhet, Aki was left with near-full command ability by the resident Captain Eisen.
In early 816 A.S., the Pakhet assisted a Corsair fleet in an attack against a bounty hunter invasion of Omicron Gamma. During the battle, the Corsair fleet - lead by the Pakhet - was lured into a waiting ambush by a vastly larger bounty hunter group in Omicron Theta. In an attempt to escape, the Pakhet was destroyed, and only seven survivors of it's fifty-man crew were left as witnesses, Aki was one of them.
Aki spent two months in intensive medical recovery aboard Lisbon Station in Omicron 100. After being released from medical, Aki was promoted to the rank of Commander for bravery and resilience during combat with the Bounty Hunter's Guild. Unfortunately, she was a Commander without a ship to Command; The Order's fleets had no vessels to spare. High Command offered Aki a Nephthys fighter and assigned her to tending to operations in Omicron 100 for the next several months. Among other duties, Aki was tasked with overseeing the development of the newest Order warships being developed at Evora Shipyards, and was assured that upon their completion she would have the opportunity to take command of one right off the production line.

<Retroactive Combat Report - Destroyer Pakhet>
Compiled by Commander Aki Kimura, Order Guard
-Begin Report-
After several months on medical leave recovering from severe injuries, I return to duty to find that High Command never filed a report on the destruction of the Zoner-Order Destroyer "Pakhet". To lay the spirits of my crew to rest, I feel it necessary to compile this report myself, and explain the occurances that lead up to the destruction of the vessel.
<Patrol Report: Omicron Gamma System, 816 AS>
A bounty hunter task force was encountered in the vicinity of the Omicron Kappa Jump hole, within the Omicron Gamma system. The task force consisted of one guild battleship, two guild destroyers, an orca-class gunboat, and a single wing of fighter support. The Pakhet remained at maximum sensor range while awaiting backup from the Corsair defense fleet on the far side of Crete.
Once Corsair support arrived, the Pakhet lead the engagement against the enemy. Seventeen minutes after the initial collision of our forces, the bounty hunter task force retreated through to omicron kappa. Commander Eisen ordered a pursuit through the jump hole.
<Patrol Report: Omicron Kappa System, 816 AS>
Upon arrival in Omicron kappa, our combined Order/Corsair fleet was ambushed by awaiting bounty hunter forces. The task group we had engaged in kappa was merely the bait for their trap. On the other side of the jump hole laid an entire fleet, three more groups of the same composition as the task force we had originally engaged.
Our fleet was quickly scattered by the ambush, but we were unable to get away. Eisen ordered a retreat back through the jump hole to Gamma for all order and corsair ships. Just as we hit the event horizon of the jump hole, a mortar blast knocked out the Pakhet's intertial stability generator. We tumbled through the jump tunnel, while the Pakhet disintegrated around us. Only a handful of the crew made it to an escape pod before the Pakhet was spewed into gamma in a million peices.
Sometimes I think I should have stayed behind with the captain, died with the crew and ship. The Isis' psychotherapists keep telling me that's the wrong line of thinking, but it feels right...
<Evac Report: Omicron Gamma System, 816 AS>
Only two of the Pakhet's ten escape pods were successfully launched. We lost forty-three of the ship's fifty crew members, including Captain Eisen. Myself and the others in my escape pod - security officer williams and crewmen michaels and jonathan - had all suffered severe plasma burns from a flash fire in the pakhet's hallways, before being able to close the pod's hatch and launch.
Our pod was recovered twenty minutes later by a zoner transport that had been alerted by surviving corsair vessels retreating back to gamma. For whatever reason, the bounty hunters never followed us back - sensors had detected a distant nomad battlegroup in Kappa, perhaps they had engaged.
-End of Official Logs-
I've been in medical recovery on leave for three months now, recovering from plasma burns and inhalation. Thankfully I have recovered fully with no lasting injuries.
Upon return to active duty, High command promoted me to Commander Rank for bravery and service in battle. I dont think I deserve the recognition, everyone else aboard the pakhet that died - they were the real heroes. Command has given me access to one of the Apophis' nephthys-class fighters, claiming that there are no ships available for my command at the moment.
According to reports from Evora shipyards, the newest generation of Order warships should be completed within the next several months. The sixth fleet admiral has assured me that I will be given command of one of those vessels when they are completed.
For now, I'm returning to guard duty in Omicron Minor and 100.
"After months of waiting, The Order's new line of warships are rolling out of Evora shipyard and heading for the front lines. After being promoted to Admiral, and becoming a member of The Order High Command, I have been assigned to one of The Order's new Light Carrier class warships, the Bastet..."
Admiral Aki Kimura, along with the remaining command and operation crew of the Order Carrier Bastet, have gone rogue. The Bastet has been sighted destroying vessels in several locations around Sirius, and is to be considered extremely dangerous. All contact with this craft should be reported to the High Command immediately, avoid engaging in hostile action with the Carrier at all costs.
