History
On 2 May 3134, within the grounds of Sanglamore Military Academy], Legate Eckard along with other Skye leaders met with Tara Campbell as she warned about an impeding threat to the world from Clan Jade Falcon.[5] While Eckard defended Campbell against some criticism by other Skye leaders, she considered him to be so introverted, that she was unsure as to his true feelings regarding her mission.[6]
By 25 June, Eckard was at another meeting with Campbell and senior Skye leaders, which heard the Jade Falcon threat had materialized with their conquest of the nearby Lyran Commonwealth world of Chaffee.[7] On 2 July he again joined Campbell to interview a Clan Sea Fox merchant, Senna, who provided intelligence on the leaders of the Jade Falcon Desant.[8]
In August 3134, he supported Campbell in resisting suggestions that Duke Gregory Kelswa-Steiner should suppress Skye's Chamber of Deputies, which had been debating offering surrender terms to Galaxy Commander Aleksandr Hazen.[9]
Later in August, in the ensuing campaign fighting the Falcons, Legate Eckard however opposed Tara Campbell's intention to accept a formal Batchall from Galaxy Commander Beckett Malthus. He however eventually accepted that it was the preferrable strategic option[10], and managed to survive the fighting with the Falcons, still being in place after their initial attack had been beaten off.[4]
