Lieutenant Kraig Anderson
Alliance Navy
Description
Kraig stands 6’2” inches tall and weighs 225 pounds. He has an athletic build and is still in very good shape. Kraig has twinkling blue eyes, light brown hair, and sports a Van Dyke beard. He has a diagonal scar about 5 inches long on his abdomen from his first combat wound and a 2 inch long scar on his right shoulder from another combat wound.
Personality
Kraig places honor, duty, and protecting those unable to protect themselves as his code of conduct. Some of his best qualities are his intelligence (especially his memory), his loyalty to friends (he will be there when they call), and his happy go lucky friendly attitude. Probably his worst qualities are his self- doubt (always feeling he could have done something better). Kraig loves a good “hearty” meal and having more than his share of a good ale to drink. He enjoys athletic activities, especially team sports, reading military history, and also reading about myths and legends in his spare time.
Background
Kraig was born on the Beckenstein Colony. His parents were middle class and he had two significantly older sisters (11 and 9 years older). Growing up he was not very close to his sisters because they were married and had their own families by the time he was in his middle teens. Kraig is a rather intelligent person (which was noticed while he was in school). However, due to his middle class status, neither he nor his parents could afford higher education. So, Kraig enlisted with the hope of getting more education after his tour of duty was over. While in basic training, his superiors noticed his ability and made sure Kraig was sent to Officer Candidate School (OCS) immediately upon completing his 3 months of basic training.
Motivation, and Fears
Kraig's major motivation is to treat all people with respect and help those less fortunate, weaker, or unable to defend themselves. His fear is that he doesn't want to let anybody "down" due to some mistake, something he didn’t do well enough, or something left undone on his part.

Military Background
In basic training, Kraig was trained on and became proficient with assault rifles and pistols. In Officer training, he learned the skills of military tactics and strategy. When he completed his Officer Training, Kraig qualified and went to Flight Training School. He specialized in piloting the A-61 Mantis Gunship. His initial assignment was to a Mantis Flight assigned to the Dreadnought SSV Mt. Fuji. He served well as a junior officer (ensign) and due to his ability to think on his feet and develop unorthodox tactics and maneuvers, he earned an assignment to the Marine 103rd Division (a Special Operations Division). When Kraig received that assignment, he was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant JG (Junior Grade).
Kraig served in an Aerial Support Brigade in the 103rd Marine Division. The A-61 Mantis he was assigned was a “Slick” or basic transport vehicle with only a heavy machine gun for defense. That was to save weight for transporting troops. In the Aerial Support Brigade, there were also Mantis Gunships that had the machine gun and rocket mounts but he rarely flew those. His courage and daring like always going into dangerous situations to pick up or drop off marines earned him the respect of the troops and some jealousy from other pilots. On one mission, Kraig went into a landing zone that was under such heavy fire, his commander refused to even take his Mantis into the landing zone. Kraig not only made one trip in but two! On the first trip in, Kraig was wounded in the right shoulder. Even with his wound, Kraig went in again.
