Character History


"You don't know what it means to fly among the stars, until you do it without your starfighter."
―Peter, to Commander Zilghar.

Early Life

Peter Ruddle was born into a middle class family, the fifth son. He had no younger siblings, and was the one his parents were the most protective of, babied the most. Growing up, Peter resented this protection they placed on him, not understanding the unconditional love his parents were giving him. So he was always the most rebellious of his brothers, breaking curfew and limitations placed on him by his mother and father.

When the youngest Ruddle turned 18, his parents shipped him off to the military academy, where they hoped he would learn the discipline they had attempted to instill in him all his life. In this new experience, Peter found something he truly loved: piloting. When he began to train as a pilot, he found freedom among the stars that he had never before been allowed in his entire life. He decided that this was the path he wished to choose for his life, and when he graduated in 22 ABY, he was transferred into Shroud Squadron.

Joining the Expeditionary Force

In Shroud Squadron, Peter further developed the maturity that he had begun to show while at the academy on Selen. He loved the freedom he received, and was becoming a damn good pilot as well. He was well liked among his comrades in Shroud, and they taught him a lot about life that he had ignored from his parents. Shroud Squadron was quickly becoming the home that Peter had never had, the home that he had previously rejected in his rebelliousness at home.

For five years, he developed and matured into one of the most well-known pilots in the fleet. Shroud Squadron prospered, as did one of its youngest pilots. Shroud was one of the cornerstones of the Expeditionary Fleet, and the pilots were repeatedly depended upon to carry out some of the missions not assigned to the other Squadrons. But when the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the Antei System, and Shroud was sent into combat against the dreaded coralskippers, everything changed.

Dark Sight

Dark Sight squadron received more losses in that invasion than any other squadron. Shroud didn't take as many casualties as some of the other Squadrons, but the leaders of Clan Arcona had to make the decision to transfer pilots out of some of the stronger squadrons to those who had received more casualties. As such, Peter Ruddle was one of the ones from Shroud chosen to transfer into Dark Sight squadron, to serve as the new commander.

The other members of Dark Sight were young, and Peter was now a veteran. The leaders of the Clan hoped that Peter could relate to the younger guys, especially the fresh academy graduates that were being pulled up to fill the holes. They chose correctly, and Peter thrived in his new environment.

Personality

Peter, while only 27 years old, has become one of those most weathered veterans in the Expeditionary Fleet as a fighter pilot. He still remembers his days as a youth in Shroud, and uses the experiences to try and tutor the younger members of Dark Sight. He is a genuinely nice guy, always friendly and sociable, but is particularly hard on insubordinate pilots and rebelliousness in Dark Sight. Ironic, given his young adult years.
