Early History
Captain Rambas II was born during the Heer Stekeveel Wars and has been friends of Captain Ramaxar and Captain Ramcard since the Academy years. He was born at 264 BQF at Rambo City where he grew up in peace and justice under the watchfull eyes of the Rambo authorities. When he grew older he dreamed of becoming a Rambo Captain and as such entered the Acadamy around 228 BQF and soon became friend with Ramaxar and Ramcard.

Upon his graduating from the Acadamy he was promoted to the rank of captain and given the Excelsior Class USS Hood to command.

Captain of the USS Hood
Around 222 BQF Rambas recieved command of his first ship and soon participated in the Diva-Bettie War. Upon the USS Hood her launch into service command was given to Rambas, making him the first captain to command the vessel, and would remain her captain ever since. During the forming of the Noble Alliance (227 BQF), he found it difficult to form an opinion on it. He liked a stronger alliance to protect them from danger, but didn't like the fact that other species could serve on his ship. None the less, he agreed with it.

During the Algernon War (52 BQF) Captain Rambas served on the front lines and was one of the key captains who attacked the Colonies of the Algernon. But after the war, Captain Rambas soon became less involved in battles for a period of time. Due to this he considered his time of Glory long past, because he was assigned to patrol duties or transports ambassadors throughout the Noble Alliance. While others still see him as a great Captain, he hopes for another time in battle within the Quadrants.

He was later send to the Deep Space Colonie near the Hutter Kingdom where he encountered the Rambulan Captain El'd'Shell, in the following the battle the USS Hood was damaged and had to retreat to the Deep Space Colony to await further instructions. The ship was repaired and he has been given orders to hold her position so that reinforcements could arrive to protect the Deep Space Colony now that it is known that the Rambulans were hostile.

Rise of the Imperial Alliance & Galactic War
But after the Rambulans joined the Imperial Alliance (05 BQF) Rambas kept his position at the Deep Space Colony and was charged with the protection of it and finding out more intel about the Imperial Alliance. After the war Captain Rambas was send back to patrol the borders.

Trucinex War
However, an emergency transmission was send by the Capricorn Sector Alliance, there Capital Planet had been bombarded a new evil. In favor of the alliance with the Sector Alliance, Empress Ramashe dispatched Captain Rambas II and a large task force to aid them. Rambas was very happy with this, finalley he would see some action again in his old days. After arriving he joined the Fleet of Retribution (01 BQF) and attack an enemy colonie and took it over. His Task Force was later expanded and Rambam began respecting and liking the Capricornian culture and ways of living. He then prepared himself and his task force to become an active part in the Trucinex War. He soon led his task Force during the Nex Colonie attack and the Battle of Tiuola. During these he was victories and later led the first wave of attack at the Trucinex homeworeld Nex. He was tasked with invading the City of Trucinia, where a shield generator was placed under protection of a Trucinex General. He first attacked the Trucinex BaseStar ships with aid of the CSA and managed to create an opening to land on the planet. The battle was fierce, but Rambas forces were victorious and the way was open for invasion of Nex.

After the CSA and the other allies invaded Nex Captain Rambas and the Rambo stationed of the Fleet of Retribution were given the City of Truicinia to oversee and the Rambo aided the Trucinex in rebuilding the city, hoping to regain the trust and friendship of the Trucinex.

Second Galactic War
During the Second Galactic War Captain Rambas aided the Colonie of Cancerti when it was under attack of the Imperial Alliance, however the Imperials proved to strong and Rambas was taken captive. However soon after his friend, Admiral Cretaceous arrived and liberated the Cancerti and freed Rambas II. He later participated in the Battle of Caprica to defend the CSA Capitol from an Imperial Attack. During the battle he teamed up again with his friend and after a long struggle they managed to defeat the Imperial troops. He later tried to search for the Benevolant, but Rambo Command did not approve this and he was forced back to his duties. Shorlty after the Second Galactic War, Rambas escorted Princess Ramtilsae for her first State Visit to the CSA. However, half way they discovered an ancient structure, and at her personall request he landed on the surfuce together with her and explored the massive building (01 AQF). However, when Captain Rambam arrived, whom Rambas called for an unknown alien race attacked the location and Rambas was seperated from Ramtilsae. Also, the USS Hood took heavy damage and chrashed at the planet surface, in panic he met with Rambam and demanded that they had to save the Princess.

Intergalactic War
Rambam eventually saved the Princess and defeated the alien captain who had captured her. In his great surprise Rambam was escorted by a familair person to all of the Ramboidae, the Rambo Founder had returned and claimed to urgency to speak to the Empress of Rambo Nation. Rambas was surprised, ancient legends told that had vanished but he told him he would do so. After being escorted back by Captain Rambam to the Rambo Capitol he recieved command of the USS Caprica, a Merced Class Space ship and he headed for the libary of Vulmiartari where he did researching on the ancient structures. After appointing the location of the last bounty hunter to Rambam he left with the USS Caprica and headed to the Cyrannus Galaxy. Later on, he was informed that the CSA was re-organised into the United Republic of Cyrannus, shortly the URC. He then joined a URC fleet to Eire to investiage an ancient structure there. The USS Merced escorted the CSS Caprica and both ships entered orbit. Rambas then beamed down to the surface and send a URC trooper to the target side. He later left Eire as the Apocalypta had arrived and awakened. After remobilising his ships, he was stationed near a Rambo colony in the Cyrannus Galaxy and when Admiral Hall arrived, he took his combined fleet of Ancientia and Rambo ships to the colony of Scorpia, which was under attack. Together with Captain Anuatolian of the Ancientia Kingdom they managed to evacuate over 15 million citizens and onboard the USS Merced he talked with his friend, Admiral Cretaceous, to discuss further battle plans. But before this battle plans could be finished, Rambas was called back to the Shipyard of Rowar, where withing a week time the USS Caprica recieved her massive V2 update, Rambas was then send back to the frontlines to challenge and battle the Cognati. During the war, he witnessed the marriage of Admiral Creteaceous on Ramaprica, and congratulated his friend on this. He also plans to surprise him with a party, but the war effort prevent this. None the less, Rambas was emotional by the marriage, something he actually never showed to others, but during the wedding some tears rolled down his cheeck, as he was so happy for, what he considered, his best friend.

During the further course of the war he was stationed at Ramaprica and kept the colony out of harm. Yet, during the final battle of the Intergalactic War he escorted Empress Ramashe to Libran. As the meeting was well underway it came under attack by the Cognatus, able to aid in the evacuation he then prepared his task force to attack the Cognatus whom were attacking Caprica, the URC homeworld. After he managed to get Empress Ramashe out of the Caprica System back to the Rambo Capitol, he took his Fleet of Retribution fleet to Caprica and aided in the battle there. Rambas went to Odale, a URC city on Caprica but was unable to liberate her from Cognatus precense. Upon returning to the USS Caprica he witnessed the destruction of the USS Valiant and the destruction of the USS Glorious, a Miranda Class V2 which was commanded by a close friend of him. He then pondered if the Rambo, URC and all other Allied Forces could liberate Caprica at all. Later on during the battle, the Mortalitas General Zillom entered the system, with a massive Mortalitas Dreadnought! When it fired it destroyed many a ship and even managed to damage the USS Caprica, injuring Captain Rambas II the crew managed to dock with the CSS Pegasus, the flagship of Admiral Cretacea, and Rambas was rushed to the sick bay where he now recovers under the watchfull eyes of his best friend. Upon his recovering on the Rambo Capitol he was also given a X-Treatment, with enchanced abilites and the capability to change his appearance to his so called X-form he is now ready for new adventures and prepares himself for new adventures with Cretacea, exploring the unknown regions of the Cyrannus Galaxy and the space between the Quadrant Galaxies and the Cyrannus Galaxy.
 * Vice-Admiral of Rambo Nation and commander of the USS Caprica

Great Cyrannus War
After he recovered he returned to the Rambo Capital where he was promoted to the rank of Vice-Admiral (02 AQF), and he remained his status and position within the FoR. When the Great Cyrannus War broke out at 04 AQF, his 2 years of peace time were over. Yet during the early days of the war Rambas was not allowed to aid the Republic, as the Nation had not declared war upon the Confederacy. During the 3rd month of the war Rambas saw his first action when he aided his friend, Fleet Admiral Cretacea, during the battle of Cyroenia. During the battle, the Avenger took heavy fire by Zillum's flagship, the Benevolent, a former Imperial Dreadnought. Suddenly Rambas arrived with his fleet and attacked Zillum his fleet. Fleet Admiral Cretacea, the URC's most prominent captain was sent to Cyroenia in order to aid the allied forces against General Zillum, his arch nemesis, he arrived with a fleet of five star destroyers and six escort frigates, hoping to break the blockade. General Zillum laughed at Cretacea's attempt to break his impenetrable fleet! However, Cretacea had no intention of breaking the blockade by himself....

After hours of battle, Rambas II and Cretacea forces pushed back the Confederate forces and secured the ring around Cyroenia. However, Admiral Lizaconda arrived and it intensified the battle. The battle continued and the Cyrandia forces lost over 65%, the Confederacy only 64%). Yet the Confederacy decided to leave Cyroenia and retreated. But Rambas wondered why and suspected the entire battle was a diversion for something. After the battle Rambas joined the Avenger, under command of a new captain on her newest voyages! Though his first days after arriving in the Xanthrus galaxy could be said were a disaster. Rambas and his crew lost contact with both the Avenger and Warlord Kilnok and missed there rendevouz point. Trapped in the Violet Ghost Nebula an anomaly hit the USS Merced, trapping the ship and crew in a time-loop. Trapped for over 28 days the time-loop reached her end and the crew met an earlier version of the USS Merced, which sadly exploded destroying the ships with all hands. This event occured every day, multiply times until the time-loop suddenly ended. Being freed from the green nebula inside the Violet Ghost Nebula Rambas re-established contact with Rambo Command, just in time as within a few hours Rambo Nation would have sended a search party. The USS Merced then advanced further into the nebula and after days of travelling they reached the edges of the nebula. There they encountered 3 unknown dagger like ships who attacked the USS Caprica. Though the sudden appearance of a black hole destroyed one of the unknown ships the USS Caprica her fire power proved to strong and the other two ships retreated. During the battle the left warp nacelle was destroyed by an electric charge. As the USS Caprica exited the nebula they re-established contact with Command again and began scanning the area for the allies and repairing the ship.
 * Voyages of the Avenger

After a week of repairing the USS Caprica and heading deeper into the nebula the crew didn't encounter any new life forms nor any planet or rock to investigate. Around two weeks after the dagger ship incident (two hours after Rambo Nation tested their first vortex torpedo) the USS Caprica tracked a transwarp/hyperspace signature and followed it. It turned out to be from a Grox Sphere, unknown to Rambo Nation and as Rambas ordered to open fire and retreat, the sphere managed to cripple the USS Caprica and the ship was rocketed with explosions. The sphere then launched a green beam, draining the ships systems. The counter attack of the sphere injured most of the bridge crew and killed the Kloppig Ensign, and badly injured Rambas his Feolvhiaera ÿeamon, as she was gasping for air as a piece of metal penetrated her right lung. As Rambas looked around he saw the sphere moving in, and he could only wonder if this was the last mission of the USS Caprica.

As of a sudden Rambas awoke and it seemed the ship was trapped in another time loop again. Escaping with aid of his crew and the doctor who was treating those in medical need the USS Caprica managed to escape the time bubble and when it collapsed an anamoly hit the Grox Sphere, desroying it. Rambas then made contact with Rambo Command again where he was told to return to the Capital and the Shipyards to recieve an upgrade to his ship and he was to return to the frontlines to combat the Confederacy again. Combat arrived when in the year 05 AQF in the 4th month Rambas was to lead the first intitial assault at the Confederate planet Nosiso. Short on temper Rambas attacked the planet without waiting for URC reinforcements and instead launched his fleet early on schedule. Though aided by a Xiaan Alliance cruiser they soon got into trouble when the Confederacy reached the upper hand in the second battle of Nosiso. Luckily ground forces were able to be deployed on the surface while the space fleet continued to be hammered at.
 * Return to the frontlines

Later on in the battle, seemingly pushing back the Confederate fleet a new threat revealed herself as a Mortalitas commander from below the surface ordered an attack at the fleet in orbit. Within seconds a strange form of plasma and energy was launched into space, fooling the sensors and not dangerous substance. Within seconds the majority of Rambas his prized FoR fleet was either damaged or destroyed by the new attack. With is fleet in ruins, Rambas prayed to the Rambo Gods for the URC and a possible victory. Eventually with aid of the URC the Rambo won the battle and Rambas celebrated the victory.

When in the 6th month the URC was reformed into the Galactic Empire of Cyrannus Rambas was shocked and recieved a great pain in his heart. When the pain slowly went away he understood what this declaration meant, his friends became enemies, and it would be a matter of time before the two would face eachother in battle.

Dark Times
The time eventually arrived when Rambas recieved word that the Rambo colony of New Ramhall was under siege from the Cyrannians. Wanting to aid them Rambo Command refused and gave another order to Rambas, he had to defend the wormhole leading to Quadrant 82 as long as possible. Near the end of the Battle of New Ramhall and her fall into Cyrannian hands, a task force of five Venators attacked the USS Caprica and the USS Ford, the last two ships defending the wormhole. At the same time the USS Burning Heretic, the first Dreadnought managed to enter the wormhole, soon followed by various civilian crafts Rambas began executing a special tactic, using the saucer of two Rambo ships as extra shields they gave more civilians to enter the wormhole, but eventually both the USS Ford and the USS Caprica were destroyed, though Rambas managed to escape his doom by leaving the ship with a shuttle. Upon his return he learned of Rambo Command that he would be given command of the USS Caprica II after a new Merced class was launched into service. Shortly after the launch Rambas recieved news that the Capital of Rambo Nation came under attack of the Galactic Empire of Cyrannus and that Empress Ramashe was forced to sign the Nim-Glaré Concordat, which held the terms of Rambo Natio her surrender to the will of the Empire. Rambas and his crew, refusing to serve an evil Emperor remained at the drydock to await his speech. After the Emperor proclaimed his speech, with Ramashe at his sight Rambas decided this was it. He and his crew would try to save the Nation from the Empire and with his crew left drydock without permission and headed to the Ramsoria Run.

At the Ramsoria Run Rambas engaged a star destroyer which was escorting various civilian vessels. Drawing attention from the star destroyer Rambas and his crew began disabling the civilian vessels before the star destroyer could open fire at the USS Merced. Yet the star destroyer was far more powerful than a Merced class though luckily for Rambas and his crew he was joined by the USS Goddard who aided in disabling the star destroyer. Together they headed for Rambo Prime. Yet Rambas felt sick, with this act he had gone upon a path he couldn't return from. He would be branded a traitor and disobeyed the orders of his Monarch, it were tears of treason.

At Rambo Prime he took command of the fleet stationed there and ordered the ambassador of that planet not to accept the Concordat and instead had to follow him to resist the Empire.

However after years, in 250 NE Gogmaloe reappeared and blackened Rambas his mind.

USS Hood
The Uss Hood is an Exceslior Class ship which has been upgraded a lot of time during her service years. When it was launched into service, command was given to Captain Rambas II and he has been the Captain of it since.The ship has fought in the Diva-Bettie War, the Algernon War and now sees action against the Resistance and the Lizardians. Although it als had an active function to search and capture pirates, something Rambas is not very fond off. He rather fights at the front lines.

Because of the upgrades the ship recieved, the ship is now capable of Warp 9.7 and is equipped with the most recent shield and phaser technology. It is also equipped with photon torpedo's.

The ship recieved massive repairs after it was heavily damaged by a Lizardian attack. It was later also damaged severly by a Rambulan Attack, but has been repaired and later on participated in the Trucinex War and became the flagship of the Rambo Task Force of the Fleet of Retribution. However, after the Second Galactic War the ship took heavy damage from a Cognatus Assault Carreer and chrashed at a planet and later turned out to be beyond repair.

USS Caprica
The USS Caprica has been named in honor of the CSA and her deeds during the Second Galactic War. In grattitude, the Rambo named the newly launched Merced Class after the CSA Capitol. A sign of hope and friendhip to the Rambo. After the loss of the USS Hood Captain Rambas recieved command of the USS Caprica, a new and experimental class, namly the Merced Class. Swift and agil, the Merced class is the top of the line of the Rambo Fleet. It is even said they contain Transwarp, but that only the Captains know of. The ship is also equipped with quantem and photon torpedos. During her short history, she has only participated during the liberation of the Rambo Capitol where it recieved light damage, the former Captain died during that battle and command was given to Rambas II afterwards.

After Rambas recieved command, the ship became the new flagship of the Rambo ships in the Fleet of Retribution. After the Second Galactic War and during the Intergalactic War the Merced recieved the V2 update, and changed appearance. A few year later, in 04 AQF the USS Caprica recieved the Mk. II upgrade, making her faster and more powerful.

Sadly in 05 AQF the original USS Caprica was destroyed and a new version was launched into service under the name of USS Merced II.
