Name: Lancer Kalashnikov (IGN is Lancer_Kalashnikov)
Age: Biological- 27 Chronological: 36 (Counts cryostasis)
Bio: Lancer was a mostly average child growing up. His home planet was Aquerius V, an unknown colony of humans that prospered due to the high oxygen and few predatos on the planet. They had not been cleared by the government, and were thought to have ended up dead in space. He was smarter than average, and was valedictorian upon graduating high school. At age 18, 2 months after graduating, he attended the planet's officer's academy. Lancer graduated the academy at the top of his class, and was assigned to the small frigate Stork, and acted as co-commander of the ship. During a heated defensive battle against strange AI ships, the main captain and pilot were both killed, and he took the helm and assumed command of the crew. Surprisingly, his piloting was above the skill level of the pilot's, despite never attending pilot school. His intuitive maneuvers and precise orders made the Stork the only sub-capital ship to survive the engagement. Lancer was rewarded with a medal for excellence and was transferred to command of the destroyer Stampede. He served for only a short while on that ship, as the flagship's captain died 4 months later of a heart disorder. Lancer was transferred to the flagship, the battlecruiser BC-07 "Lucky 7."
2 years later, another strange navy laid siege to Aquerius V, the ships were obviously not of human design. The Aquerian forces decided to give names the the enemy vessels to aid in identification. The force consisted of the light carrier Hive and the destroyers Viper and Cobra. There were numerous accompanying frigates and corvettes. The Lucky 7 and 3 destroyers, plus a squadron of fighter-bombers, met them 1.82 AU from Aquerius V. Unbeknownst to Lancer, the enemy destroyers were equipped with advanced piercing cannons, and the Aquerian destroyers were obliterated in a matter of minutes. The point-defense turrets and interceptors of the enemies quickly finished the fighter-bombers, leaving the Lucky 7 to fend for itself. Lancer led the enemies within range of the planetary defense batteries, and the Viper was destroyed. The Cobra struck an engine exaust vent, causing a fire in the engine room. 2 minutes later, the engineers had all been killed by the fire, leaving it uncontrolled. 3 minutes after that, the ship violently erupted in a fireball due to a magazine and fuel ignition. Lancer was able to make it to an escape pod, but nobody else survived.
9 years after activating the cryogenic stasis, Lancer's escape pod was picked up by a passing ship. The crew asked him what had happened. Lancer remembered the events well, and told the crews. They were surprised to know that Aquerius V had actuallyy been founded. They aid thatthe entire Sol system had been wiped out by similar ships. They agreed to drop him off at the main colony. Lancer plans to join the main existing navy, both for revenge and for glory. He is a man of adventure and peril, and will continue on.
What do you intend to do upon joining the server?: I plan to become an ace of the human's navy, aiming for a high ranking spot in it as well. If there is no existing official navy, i would like to attempt to found it.
