Info
Lore/Backstory: The Captain of the SSV "Myrmidon", a ship belonging to the US Space Force, is a woman named Lieutenant Commander Rebecca Folsom. She is known for her quick wit and sense of humor, but also has a reputation as a ruthless officer who will do whatever it takes in order to achieve victory on the battlefield. Her crew refers to her as an "alpha female" because she's always pushing them hard in training sessions and is more than willing to give orders that they may not want to hear, such as firing nuclear missiles at enemy ships or taking risks during a battle. However, despite this, Folsom is widely considered to be one of the best space navy pilots alive today, having received numerous awards for her combat prowess, including two consecutive Silver Eagles for Outstanding Achievement in Space Combat (for defeating three enemy fighters while under heavy fire). In addition to being an ace pilot, Folsom is also an expert marksman; she was able to hit a target from nearly five miles away with her Mark 50 sniper rifle. She often uses this weapon when engaging enemies aboard their vessels and prefers to use it over other weapons because its long range allows her to take out multiple targets without exposing herself to direct danger. Folsom was born in Ohio into a military family; both of her parents were career soldiers who served in the United States Army, but then decided to change careers and join the Space Force instead. Her father was a colonel, and her mother was a lieutenant. As a child, Folsom grew up around guns, and developed a love for them, which eventually led to her becoming an ace pilot in the US Space Force. As a teenager, she was given the choice between joining the army or the space force, and chose the latter because she felt that it would allow her to serve her country better. Folsom attended flight school after graduating high school and was promptly assigned to the SSV "Myrmidon". It was during her time aboard this vessel that Folsom began to learn how to use the Mark 50 sniper rifle, which had just been recently added to her arsenal. Since then, Folsom has become renowned for using this weapon to great effect against enemy targets. Most notably, she shot down an entire squadron of enemy fighters from roughly 5 miles away with a single bullet, proving that she could deliver devastating damage with pinpoint accuracy. After completing her initial training period, Folsom became an instructor at the Myrmidon's flight academy, where she taught future officers how to use their weapons. During this time, she met her commanding officer, Captain Tanya Chang, whom she quickly bonded with and relied heavily upon. When Chang left the service to pursue a civilian life, Folsom was promoted to the rank of captain and took command of the vessel herself.
