Noah Quensmith
Player: NovaCat/SkyeCat
Rank: Logistics Officer - LO
As a child Noah always enjoyed mathematics, which in his later childhood evolved into running simulations of a ship or fleet's mathematical needs simply for fun. He got a job at Pallium Industries as a Logistics Officer aboard a frigate in the faction's private space fleet, which later became a part of the BA Solar Expedition. What he quickly came to realize during his training and shadowing prior to his assignment on the frigate was that accounting for supply usage, especially that of personnel-related items such as food and water was a lot more difficult than he anticipated.
Because of this difficulty, he almost always over-requested those kinds of items as the last thing he wanted was someone on his ship to go hungry and get angry at him because the food ran out. However, space on ships is limited, and in order to store the extra personnel supplies, a few crates of ammo had to be left behind, leaving the ship is less than optimal ammo reserves.
Noah assumed this wouldn't be a problem as the fleet, as everyone knew, was not expected to encounter any military resistance. However, when they arrives in the system, his heart filled with dread as he looked out the window and saw the enemy fleet right on top of them.
On ships as small as frigates, everyone is trained in a second job, so there is some redundancy if a certain crew member is killed or incapacitated. Noah's secondary job was a shield manager. During the battle, an enemy ship that had been disabled rammed the ship Noah was on and blew the shield generator. Noah was electrocuted to the point of being unconscious when the controls overloaded during the ram.
When he woke up, he was in an escape pod and rocketing away from the ship which began seconds later began to crumble under the intensive firepower. At that moment, he made it his goal to find out what happened to the rest of his crew, and to get revenge on those that had killed his comrades in battle.
