Character Biography

Meylan wasn’t a fan of theories, but practical experience. Despite his expertise in handcrafting and fixing grids, he didn’t go to school. Instead, he worked in a shuttle maintenance bay, particularly for civilian ships. The job was not only eye-opening for him to see all types of star ships, but also he got to see infinite diversity in infinite combinations by hand.

One day, he was spotted and recommended a career path by a person who worked for the fleet recruitment office. Despite his age, he was asked to join the delayed entry program. The condition was not only to be a leader, but an example to the young sirs (ma’am’s) that the fleet has yet to see.

After 6 months of fast-track training, he honorably graduated from the College of Engineering from the Academy. As an Engineer’s Mate on the USS Leviathan, he gradually climbed the rank ladders and earned the respect, the title of Master Chief. He was satisfied already. Until one night, while working on his retirement plan at the crew’s mess, he was ordered to report to the CO’s ready room… immediately.
