Lore: Doug Hemel Horvat is a hardened and strategic veteran who rose through the ranks of the Scarlet Guardians Nexus with a reputation for decisive leadership and an uncanny ability to orchestrate complex multi-branch operations. Born in the asteroid colonies of the Belt, Horvat’s early years were shaped by the lawlessness and brutal competition of frontier life, instilling in him a relentless drive to impose order through strength and discipline.
Horvat’s military career began in the early days of the Nexus’ rebirth, where his skill as a pilot and tactician quickly distinguished him. Recognized for his adaptability, he was entrusted with leading combined arms operations that integrated assault fleets, reconnaissance wings, air squadrons, and ground battalions—something few commanders have successfully managed in the fractured Sol system. His command style is marked by rigorous coordination, leveraging the unique strengths of each fleet and battalion to execute surgical strikes and strategic defenses that have turned the tide in numerous engagements.
Under his leadership, the 7th Assault Fleet and 6th Support Fleet have conducted critical offensive and defensive campaigns securing key outposts and trade routes vital to TSGN’s expansion. The 4th Recon Fleet operates under his strict command to provide intelligence superiority, allowing him to anticipate enemy movements with precision. Meanwhile, the air battle squadrons and marine barrage units under his control execute rapid-response strikes, often striking deep behind enemy lines to disrupt hostile operations.
Despite his battlefield prowess, Horvat is also known for his political acumen within the Nexus hierarchy, navigating factional rivalries with a calm and calculated demeanor. His vision extends beyond military conquest; he advocates for rebuilding strong, self-sufficient stations and securing lasting peace through power. Though some see him as a ruthless commander, his followers trust his judgment and respect his unwavering commitment to TSGN’s survival and dominance.
As TSGN continues to expand its influence across the Sol system, Centurion Doug Hemel Horvat remains a central figure in its military and political evolution—a guardian of the Nexus’ ideals, a relentless enforcer of its will, and a symbol of the strength that rises from the ashes of chaos.
