History

Stationed on the planet of Ptolomea, the formidable Caliburnus Defense Regiment, also known as the Bastion Regiment, is one of two outposts of Scholae Palatinae. Established during the rule of Emperor Braecen, the Regiment is under the strict command and supervision of the current Caliburnus Quaestor - a military backing to enforce the Emperor's control on the planets surrounding the main post upon the surface of Judecca.

These units can mobilize and react to any uprisings or conflicts within the immediate area of Ptolomea. Easily deployable from their position, the Ruby Fortress, these advanced soldiers generally are roused into action when House Caliburnus, a sub-faction of Clan Scholae Palatinae, is on the march. These soldiers are not employed to police the general populace, but often maintain a sense of Imperial pride and rigidity.

Command

Officers

General Xavier Mhoire

  • Species: Human
  • Sex: Male
  • Height: 5 Foot, 10 Inches
  • Weight: 170 Pounds
  • Hair Color: Black, flecked with gray
  • Eye Color: Brown

A stocky build and an iron hard gaze give General Mhoire a stern look. This veteran of many successful campaigns has built his career with respect, for those above and below him in rank. A brilliant strategist who enjoys a good game of chess as much as an effectively run military campaign, Xavier has built a strong loyalty with his troops and the House he fights for.

Mhoire is not one to gamble in battle. He understands risks are necessary and will attack if outnumbered, but he will always have another advantage in mind, or trick up his sleeve. He doesn’t believe in wasting troops or time and doesn’t like interference from those that don’t understand military tactics.

Major General Marcus Killroy

  • Species: Human
  • Sex: Male
  • Height: 6 Foot
  • Weight: 150 Pounds
  • Hair Color: Brown
  • Eye Color: Brown

Many would think that his lanky frame and quiet demeanor hide a great military mind, but the truth is Killroy has little understanding of tactics but seems to have an uncanny luck in battle. If a battle is going against him, he just knows what to do to turn the tide in his favor. While this could be some sort of Force sensitivity at work, extensive testing has shown that Marcus cannot wield any real control over the Force.

Major General Killroy enjoys the admiration of his troops and the dignified respect of his superiors. Recently promoted to his current position, Killroy understands the opportunity of working with and learning from General Mhoire. He also see’s himself as someone worth studying and has taken a few junior officers under his tutelage.


Enlisted

Gunnery Sergeant Kayra Bridge

  • Species: Human
  • Sex: Female
  • Height: 5 Foot, 11 Inches
  • Weight: 140 Pounds
  • Hair Color: Red
  • Eye Color: Blue

Kayra Bridge is a very attractive, very capable soldier. In an attempt to constantly prove her worth to the army, she has often volunteered for the most dangerous assignments and for Special Forces. She has always been successful in these endeavors.

Passed over for numerous promotions in her short career, Bridge has become bitter towards the “old boys” network of officers that she has seen thus far. However, General Killroy has seen her potential and has brought her onto his personal staff in hopes of getting her into an officer-training program. This has lead some to think that there is something more going on between the two, which has made Kayra more determined than ever to prove herself in the “man’s army”.


First Sergeant Baz Guillam

  • Species: Human
  • Sex: Male
  • Height: 5 Foot, 10 Inches
  • Weight: 170 Pounds
  • Hair Color: Grey
  • Eye Color: Green

Baz has a very intense gaze and his scarred face and military brush cut give him a classic sergeant’s look. However, this is misleading, to an extent. Baz Guillam has been in the Imperial army for what may seem like forever to many that know him. He has been given a commissioned officer’s rank on more than one occasion, but always seems to get “busted down” to the enlisted ranks again. At one time he was even senior officer to General Mhoire.

The main reason he has never been drummed out of the military is his uncanny ability to spot and nurture decent junior officers, even as a sergeant. He has often been made a platoon sergeant to new officer candidates and aided them in developing the necessary skills to help their troops survive. For this reason, among some personal ones, General Mhoire has had Guillam attached to his personal staff, and Baz answered the call of a very old friend.
