===History===
+
==Operation Revival==
Kossacks was an [[aerospace]] fighter pilot. He earned the nickname "Wet Willie" after bailing out of his third plane and floating for days on [[Cylene]]'s Tartarus Sea. He attended the Officer Training Program at [[Sakhara Academy|Sakhara]], and graduated from [[Albion Military Academy|Albion]]'s War College with honors, to the puzzlement of a number of instructors. Although listed as a Fleet Admiral, he holds a [[Marshal (rank)|Marshal]]'s baton; the naval rank was bestowed on him by [[Field Marshal]] [[George Hasek II|Hasek]] in recognition of his origins as a fighter pilot.<ref>''Field Manual: Federated Suns'', p. 80</ref>
