AS THE CHILD OF A HIGH-RANKING GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL, SHE IS WELL AWARE OF THE "POMP BEFORE PROGRESS" STANCE OF THE MELLUS ADMINISTRATION RULING BEURN. AS A RESULT, SHE HAS DEVELOPED AN INTENSE DISDAIN FOR BUREAUCRACY, AND THUS IS SOMETHING OF A "MAVERICK", REJECTING AUTHORITY SHE CONSIDERS INCOMPETENT. THIS HOTHEADED, REBELLIOUS NATURE IS TOLERATED PRIMARILY BECAUSE MABUSO IS ONE OF THE MOST BRILLIANT TACTICIANS EVER TO SERVE THE FW. SHE IS THE ONLY ACADEMY GRADUATE TO ACE THE "LESLIE MARU" ENDURANCE TEST, AND HAS BEEN KNOWN TO ACHIEVE MINOR MIRACLES UNDER THE MOST EXTREME PRESSURE. FWS BOND|=WddddddH~`,DREN ANDERSON&;NVTQF5H"6A2LNFBORN: 2342 CE SERIAL NUMBER: SF3622-IV08789 CAPTAIN ANDERSON WAS BORN ON THE FW PLANET IVILOSE IN THE PRISA SYSTEM. HE GRADUATED, WITH HONORS, FROM THE FWAF ACADEMY IN 2366, AND WAS SUBSEQUENTLY ASSIGNED TO THE DESTROYER FWS DANTEE, ON DEFNESIVE PATROL IN THE PRISA SYSTEM. ON 15 JUNE 2368, UDP FORCES ATTACKED THE IVILOSE STARPORT, AND THE DEFENDING FWS DANTEE. WHEN THE SHIP'S CAPTAIN AND BRIDGE CREW WERE KILLED, ANDERSON TOOK THE HELM AND HELPED ROUT THE UDP FORCES. WHILE THE STARPORT WAS DESTROYED AND MANY CIVILIANS KILLED, ANDERSON'S ACTIONS PREVENTED THE UDP FROM INFLICTING GREATER DAMAGE AND CASUALTIES. ANDERSON IS A WELL-ROUNDED, COURAGEOUS AND LOYAL OFFICER. HE HAS EXPERIENCE IN MOST FIELDS, EXCEPT FOR THOSE INVOLVING NEGOTIATIONS. FWS GOTTLIEBIIIddddddlzo)'MISHAI SINGHPU ʃcaX, IP8BETBORN: 2324 CE SERIAL NUMBER: SF3461-IV00582 IT HAS BEEN SAID THAT CAPTAIN SINGH HAS BEEN DECORATED MORE TIMES THAN THE ENTIRE FWAF ADMIRALTY COMBINED. SHE IS ONE OF THE MOST DYNAMIC AND VERSATILE COMMANDERS THE SERVICE HAS EVER SEEN. THE ONLY REASON SHE ISN'T A MEMBER OF THE ADMIRALTY HERSELF IS THAT SHE CONSTANTLY REFUSES ATTEMPTS TO PROMOTE HER TO FLAG RANK. SHE FEELS THAT HER PLACE IS AT THE HELM OF A STARSHIP. SINGH IS HIGHLY EXPERIENCED, A BETTER THAN AVERAGE TACTICIAN, AND FOLLOWS ORDERS EXPLICITLY. HER ONE DRAWBACK IN COMBAT SITUATIONS IS THAT SHE PREFERS DIPLOMACY TO FIGHTING. HOWEVER, WHEN THE SITUATION CALLS FOR IT, SHE CAN FIGHT WITH THE BEST OF THEM. UDP OFFICERVܩ"x:@DJPTDB&zRACE: HUMAN, HOMO SAPIENS SAPIENS TERRESTRIALIS ORIGIN: RACE- EARTH FACTION- UNITED DEMOCRATIC PLANETS THE UDP, A SPLINTER GOVERNMENT OF THE LOCAL GROUP, HAS EVOLVED INTO A SERIOUS THREAT TO THE STABILITY OF THE AREA. THE UDP POSESSES A HIGHLY AGGRESSIVE, TIGHTLY KNIT COMBAT FORCE COMPOSED OF VERY BRAVE SOLDIERS. IT IS BELIEVED THAT SOME UDP SOLDIERS MAY NOW BE QUESTIONING THE INTENTIONS OF THEIR GOVERNMENT. THE RECENT DIPLOMATIC NEGOTIATIONS HAVE CAUSED SOME TO RETHINK THEIR ALLEGIANCE. THIS MAY PROVE USEFUL IN BATTLE. HOWEVER, BE CAUTIOUS. THE UDP MAINTAINS A SKILLED AND EXPERIENCED FORCE. THEY ARE FORMIDABLE. NAVCOM ENCODED TRANSMISSION -- CODED LEVEL: BAKER GAMMA THREE TO: CAPTAIN, FWS THE LION FM: ADMIRAL H. BATTLES, FLEETOPS, HQ AXIA MG: HAVING ANALYZED THE INFORMATION OBTAINED AT ICHARR, YOU ARE ORDERED TO LEAD THE CRUISERS BOND, AXIA, AND GOTTLIEB TO CAPTURE THE OUTPOST HAMMON DAR. IT HAS VITAL INFORMATION ON THE UDP AND ALIEN FORCES ALLIANCE. INTELLIGENCE BELIEVES IT IS LIGHTLY DEFENDED, BUT WE ARE SENDING ADDED FIREPOWER JUST IN CASE. AS YOU WILL BE DEEP IN UDP TERRITORY, YOU MUST GET IN AND OUT IN 42 MINUTES. IT IS VITAL THAT THE LION AND HER ELITE UNIT OF MARINES BE SUCCESSFUL. NEUTRALIZE AT LEAST 70% OF THE ENEMY FLEET YOU ENCOUNTER. GOOD LUCK. LIONDAR.B2SW$TMMMUMU"p#Xdddddd/$=4=5M=j"XEMEEED
