Legate Stanford Eckard was the Planetary Legate of Skye, for the Republic of the Sphere, from at least 3130 to 3134.[1][2][3][4]
Personal Appearance[edit]
Eckard was a tall man, of an Asian background, who had brown eyes and (as of 3134) graying salt and pepper hair.[5] Despite his thin build and age, he still had a bodybuilder's physique, with the physical strength to match.[6]
History[edit]
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.[7]
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.[8] 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.[9]
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.[10]
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[11], and managed to survive the fighting with the Falcons, still being in place after their initial attack had been beaten off.[4]
In October prior to the Falcon's returning, Eckard only reluctantly supported the military assistance provided by Duke's Gregory Kelswa-Steiner son Jasek Kelswa-Steiner, fearing his Stormhammers would stoke pro-Lyran sentiment on Skye.[12] Despite this he worked with Jasek and other during the fighting against the Falcons through to December 3134.[3]
