History
Born on the Terran Hegemony world of Rio, before joining the SLDF he earned a Master's Degree in cybersecurity, and a Doctorate in network science. Despite this background, his military service was in combat divisions rather than Star League Intelligence Command, due to his preference to be hands-on in the field.
He still however helped make improvements in SLDF network security, targeting and communication systems, leading some to encourage him to take up a research position within the Hegemony.[1]
Notes
- According to author Craig A. Reed, the character name "Robert Madson" is a tribute to his late friend Robert Madson, a BattleTech fan and contributor to the BattleTechnology magazine together with Reed back in the day.
