Just read it and...absolutely fantastic CS, Pepper. I'm really pleased with the quality of writing and creativity from everyone who's submitted a character sheet so far. A few things:

Since you're (one of) our admirals, you may if you wish use a HSR4 class ship. The two battleships classes currently posted are unavailable, but you can either have his ship be a Dratha class or make up your own ship type (of course, you can also use an HSR3 class ship if you think that suits the admiral better). Happy to collaborate on ship class ideas, let me know.

Secondly, I designed the character of Commodore Morning to be the second in command/lacky of our Admiral character. As such, you are welcome to control him whenever it is useful/convenient for you to do so over the course of the RP as though he were your own character.

Thirdly, @ all:

I have yet to introduce the group to the overall commander of our little expedition, the Grand Duke Konrad von Ravenstein. I'll try to get a CS for him up tomorrow, but here's a teaser to get your brains working, since he is a figure that would be known to/familiar to almost everyone's characters, at least by reputation. He is known for being a highly competent and utterly ruthless general, strategist and politician, responsible for many successful operations during the Arian Jihad and other wars. During the Arian war, he defeated many more tactically astute and genuinely brilliant commanders thanks to his utter disregard for casualties and an excellent grasp of the logistical side of warfare. He is known for making total war, and for his heavy use of xenos and mercenary forces, whom he views as useful and utterly disposable assets. His most impressive victory was the counter-invasion of Odros, which secured the Valyrian system once and for all five years into the Jihad. He is most famous, however, for the Suppression of the Vorheln Revolts in the Vos System in the later and most desperate years of the Arian Jihad, where he brutally crushed a series of socialist revolts and worker strikes in the industrial super city of Vornheln. It was there he earned the sobriquets "the Butcher of Vornheln" and "the Red Duke." He is a ground, not naval, commander, and operational fleet command will rest with the admirals. He is however, the overall strategist for the Maalik Reconquest, so he will be an active presence in everyones lives. It is an open secret that the King is terrified of him.
