Fiction:Admiral Tolas

"I have spent my entire life in the service of protecting innocents from all types of monsters that creep in the darkness of the Milky Way. Vilarians?Grox? None of these measure up to the evil we now face."

- Tolas on the Shadows

Admiral Tolas (born 30 January 1853 - 30 September 2013) was a Chod Admiral, military strategist and later the first Supreme High Commander of the Galactic Crusader Union. Originally the captain of the flagship C.T.S Choddernaught, he was charged in defending the Chod Empire and all her colonies when the Navy fled to Galactic Core to bring battle to the Grox Empire in the Anti-Grox Crusade. During this, he oversaw the successful defence of frontier territories and was involved in the Boarding of the Highlander by Vilarian privateers.

As with his cousin, the Omnipotent Chod, Tolas hailed from West Highlands, Threshold and eventually moved to the homeworld's capital city where he joined the Chod Empire Navy, one of the galaxy's most powerful interstellar forces. He was present as an off-duty naval officer on Planet Algener in 1873 when Doch pirates broke their way into the Chod Empire's gold reserves, where he was taken as a hostage until he managed to overpower his captors and succeeded in taking control of the ship armed with a single laser rifle. He was cited for his bravery and strategic thinking during the crisis and was promoted to Captain. By 1883 A.D almost ten years later was granted the ability to select one of the Chod Empire's flagships as his next commission.
