Captain Killian John

Early Life
Killian was not an exceptional student growing up, though aptitude tests revealed his propensity for science. Encouraged by faculty and his parents, he was able to follow an unorthodox manner of education through tutors, home-schooling, and field science. Flourishing from his break from formal studies, he quickly developed his skills in chemistry, programming, and engineering. During his gap year, Killian was uninterested in pursuing a formal university education. He enlisted in the army as a mechanic. Though the rigidity of army rules wasn't always a good fit, it was offset by the diverse range of training and experiences army life gave him. While he has been reprimanded for breaking rules, his superiors quickly recognized both his innovation and strategic perspective. He was then encouraged to join the HIV.

Early Career
After basic training, he was stationed as a border patrol agent along the borders outside of earth. Finding the posting to be a bit dull, he decided to experiment with damaged and/or outdated spaceship parts. Out of rudimentary parts, he managed to upgrade the standard military patrol craft into a faster and more efficient patrol cruiser. Through this upgrade, he was able to detect and intervene a rogue small craft trying to enter the earth's atmosphere at such a high speed that a standard patrol cruiser wouldn't be able to catch up to it, after apprehension, the craft in question contained illegal and unregistered cengkeh. This noble action caught the attention of higher-ups and after an evaluation of his skillsets, he was invited to become the captain of a new ship, the TOS Da Vinci.

Battle of the Twin Princes
During the Battle of Twin Princes, Killian acted as the captain of the TOS Da Vinci. after an early struggle to deter the Alysian forces, Killian made a bold decision to ignore the admiral's command to retreat and regroup, as he had a feeling that the Alysian was planning to let the Terrans regroup in order to ambush them. Instead of retreating, Killian commanded the Da Vinci to use it's agile form and stealth capabilities to maneuver around the main heat zone and sneak behind Alysian lines. By waiting behind an immobile asteroid, he managed to ambush one of the Alysian fleets, Mahn’ten-Dhu, which contained both of the Twin Princes, Longweeiden and Sungleeiden of Ember, that went after the rest of the Terran forces. The Da Vinci managed to take down the fleet leader and escaped back into the Terran forces using a hit and run tactic. By taking out the Alysian fleet leader, the Terran forces were able to counter-attack the Alysian forces that were left uncoordinated, leading to a Terran victory.
