History[edit]
He rose through the ranks of the RAF high enough to put himself behind a desk, rather than in a cockpit seat and become part of the logistical command network that has been scrambling to keep up with events since the collapse of the interstellar communications grid.[1]
By 3136 he was one of the planners that moved Bryant Planetary Militia 'Mechs, military DropShips, and aerospace fighters were shipped to Terra, and even if this alleviated the planet's economy, RAF assurances on support from nearby worlds or the world no longer being important were not much appreciated and indeed contested.[2]
His line of thinking was that the very relocation of such expensive military equipment would further remove any incentives to attack the planet.[2]
He was a sword believer in Republic ideals and its voice of military reason almost any time an unpopular decision has to be made.[1]
Quotes[edit]
| “ | "If anything, pulling combat 'Mechs and other big-ticket assets [off Bryant] will enable us to streamline our response to any crises in the region, while lightening the local burden on providing infrastructure for such equipment" | ” |
