A native of Mertactor/District 268, he is spent twenty years in the planetary defense force, initially enlisting at the age of 18 as an infantryman. His first tour was largely spent in training or garrison roles, where he was trained in personal and heavy weapons, and in the use of vacuum gear, and reached the rank of Corporal. He re-enlisted, and was selected for Officer Candidate School, where he was trained for mechanized operations, emergency medical support, and small unit tactics. As a junior officer, he served in Internal security, training, and counter insurgency operations. Selected for retention, he served more in Counter insurgency operations, raids, and more internal security, and made First Lieutenant while earning his first Combat Command Ribbon and a MCG. Finding it to his continued liking, he followed his unit into a training cycle, before getting picked up as a staff officer in another offensive operation, where he was promoted to Captain. After that, he was assigned to the Staff College, followed by another COIN tour, where he was leading a company. That experience found him still relevant to the Army, and at 16 years, ready for more. The next term, following a garrison snooze-fest, he was picked up for commando training, then assignment at the Infantry School as a Recon instructor. Seeking to possibly transfer over to the Special Operations Brigade, he was found unable to continue as an officer, and medically retired. Still on Mertactor, he's got a couple of passages he could use, but is looking to hire on as a security consultant for those headed into District 268, or out into the Trojan Reach.

  1. Is a 4000 credit annual pension really something someone can survive on? Lol

    1. Not comfortably. Considering that per page 109 of the Traveller Book, ordinary living costs are about Cr 4,800 per year, he'd quickly end up in debt. At a lower level of living, he'd have a slight surplus, but may not be living up to his station in life.
