Divina Frigus Hunt for Malegras 07

The Bismarck jumps to hyperspace while the LSX-01 is destroyed

In January 2830, Swain and her crew recieved order to track down Rambo Loyalist commodore Malegras and his prized flagship, the Bismarck. The mission became known as the so called Hunt for Malegras and saw three Schnorchel-class ships teaming up to hunt down their foes. During the mission the Bismarck managed to cripple the LSX-02 after its commander, Von Drosk was tricked by Malegras. Much to her annoyance, the Bismarck was too large and powerful to take down by the Schnorchel-pack and forced her to simply track the ship from distance.

By the end of the hunt, she looked in horror as the Bismarck made a blind hyperspace jump into the center of a singularity, destroying the LSX-01 in the process. Much to her dismay, she had to report to Legatus Command that although their hunt was effective, the Bismarck went missing before it was either destroyed or captured, together with its commander, Malegras.

Personality and Traits[]

Swain TaviraLarge

Swain Tavira cares deeply for the citizens of the Empire, unlike some of the Imperial officers. She dislikes the sometimes brutal subjugation of the Empire's enemies and views that as a darker side of the Empire. A trait that often makes her look weak, unsure and innocent in the eyes of her superiors. Yet her superior officer, commander Velasus views her as a promising officer and bridg prospect. Swain is a formidable fighter in hand-to-hand combat.

Upon her promotion and joining of the Legatus, she showed great dislike for the new grey standarized uniform, feeling they didn't show enough of her slim body and instead made her feel plump. She continued to wear a black cap, something that most Schnorchel-class commanders do.

Due to her upbringing she believes in the mystical energies like magic and as such is disgusted by the sometimes waste of nature in the name of progress and industry. Despite her patriotism, her profound loyalty to a fault to the Empire seems to falter after witnissing the cruelties of some of its officers. Swain was a light-skinned woman with auburn hair and green eyes.
