Rank | Field Marshal[1] |
Profession | Aerospace pilot |
Fleet Admiral William "Wet Willie" Kossacks was the Commanding Officer of the Second Davion Guards from at least the time of Operation REVIVAL through the FedCom Civil War.
History[edit]
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, and graduated from Albion's War College with honors, to the puzzlement of a number of instructors. Although listed as a Fleet Admiral, he holds a Marshal's baton; the naval rank was bestowed on him by Field Marshal Hasek in recognition of his origins as a fighter pilot.[2]
Battle of New Avalon[edit]
By 3071, Kossacks had been promoted to the rank of Field Marshal and appointed the AFFS Chief of staff.[1] During that battle, he would be relieved of duty and arrested on the final posthumous orders of Marshal of the Armies Jackson Davion as a traitor to the Federated Suns, for his secret actions during the FedCom Civil War and the ongoing Battle of New Avalon.[3]
