Captain:Aeranyeos

Aeranyeos is a male officer serving in the Navy of the, commanding the Venator-class Star Destroyer Behemoth. Aeranyeos was but one of many recruits given a fast-tracked progression through the ranks of the navy of the during the, both to increase the number of loyal officers and to make up for the losses of those on the front lines of the conflict against the.

Though these officers were often looked down upon by more experienced commanders in the Navy, Aeranyeos would make a name for himself, ultimately gaining command of the Star Destroyer Behemoth. During the galactic conflict, Aeranyeos fought most notably in the, where he fought at and  before returning to Cyrannus to fight in the Second Battle of. After the end of the conflict, Aeranyeos retained command of the Behemoth, fleeing from the Empire to the relative sanctuary of the. There, he served as the commander of a defence fleet over. When the was formed in 03 NE, Aeranyeos and the crew of the Behemoth rejoiced in the rebirth of the Republic, continuing to serve admirably in the fleet of Republica Quadrantia.

Early Life
Born on Apheria in 28 BNE, Aeranyeos grew up with tales of brave pilots and explorers who sought out fame and adventure in many of the most beloved Apationagtusan tales. Longing to play a role in the history of his people, Aeranyeos sought to emulate these ancient explorers, ultimately joining the Apherian Defence Force before joining the navy of the in 03 NE, the year the  erupted across the galaxy. His early promotion to captain was due to the need for officers as the Confederates and Republic clashed at the frontlines. Upon his promotion he was given command of the Venator Star Destroyer Behemoth.

Captain of the ''Behemeth'
One of his first missions was in the fourth month of the conflict, when he was to escort the Rambo vessels USS Contact and the Krakana-class, Impavid, away from the Rambo planet. Confederate Admiral attacked with the Liberty II and defeated all three ships using his new vessel, which had been stolen from the Republic a month prior. After the loss, Aeranyeos resented Lizaconda, vowing to bring him to justice.

Months later, in the ninth month he joined Captain Ramniels of the USS Majestic to attack Yadumarth. During the battle he engaged various Confederate Frigates and drove them away. The third battle of Yadumarth was a victory for the URC and Rambo forces. However, in the tenth month, after a month long blockade, the Confederacy under the command of Captain of the Terror of Stars attacked and drove the URC/Rambo fleet away. After the battle he retreated back to Cyrandia space and remained on patrol duty for many months.

However in the year 05 AQF, during the 4th month of the third year of the Great Cyrannus War, Aeranyeos followed Vice-Admiral Rambas II to secure, a key Confederate planet. During the Second Battle of Nosiso the Behemoth took heavy damage and was left driftless in space, though Aeranyeos survived, with the Behemoth being towed to the nearest starbase, where she was repaired and sent to, just as the Great Cyrannus War ended.

- Captain Aeranyeos during the Battle of Angforst

Like most Republic captains in the Quadrants, Aeranyeos remained loyal to the ideals of democracy, refusing to have any part in the. Soon after the establishment of the Empire, Captain Aeranyeos was tasked with joining a fleet to prevent Rambo Nation from utilising the Angforst superweapon to close off access between Cyrannus and the Quadrants. Though he hoped that they could negotiate with the Rambo, tension between the two powers erupted into a battle. To his horror, Cyrandia states such as the and the  joined with the Rambo against what they now referred to as the.

During the battle, the Behemeth was heavily damaged, but continued the fight with ferocity, particularly when the Phoenix-class flagship sacrificed itself to destroy Angforst's main cannon. Now in command of the fleet, Aeranyeos rallied the fleet when the Empire arrived with their new Imperator-class Star Destroyers. After the battle, the Behemeth and the surviving Republic ships returned to their home territory for extensive repairs. For three years, Captain Aeranyeos would remain in the Quadrants, serving as the commander of the defence fleet under Admiral.

Remaining as the captain of the Behemeth into the rise of the, Captain Aeranyeos was twice offered a promotion to Commodore during and after the , but ultimately decided that he could not bring himself to leave his beloved Behemeth and the crew who serve her. With the recent Torment rearranging vast portions of Quadrantia space, Aeranyeos feared for the future of the Quadrants—space which he now considered to be home more than Cyrannus.

Personality and Traits
Affable and well-respected, Captain Aeranyeos is one of the most decorated officers in the Republica Quadrantian fleet, serving with distinction since the early months of the. Almost the entirety of this service has been from the helm of the Venator-class Star Destroyer Behemeth, with Aeranyeos retaining many of his original crew from the days of the to the. Indeed, Aeranyeos is a starship enthuasist who believes that the Venator-class is the greatest example of Cyrannian shipbuilding in modern history. In Aeranyeos' view, newer vessels such as the Pheobus-class lack the ingenuity and beauty of the Venator, while Imperial vessels developed since the fall of the United Republic are lacking utterly in style.
