Description: He is a vulpin, with a ruddy red coloration, with several specific markings.  He is medium set, with greenish eyes. His ears have a black outline, with a white backing. A black stripe runs down the length of his muzzle, on the upper side, with a matching cap between his ears. A black spot interrupts his throat fur, streching down to his sternum, with the white ending at his navel. His tail-tip is white, with the underside of his tail slowly fading back from white to red up it's length. No disfiguring marks have been noticed at this time. Warning: He is a master of disguise, and may not be in cooncordance with this description.

Known History: The first known record of this man is from 2392, in which an early vulpin matching his description commanding the now infamous Kep Salu II defeated an armada with the help of Hyperlight Industries. The armada had been on course for earth, and he had been commanding the only starfleet ship in position to engage them.

He was next seen 5 years later, defending a federation starbase in one of the great offensives of the First Galatic War. The Kep Salu II was reported to have destroyed at least 7 battlecruisers, and helped to hold off the attacking fleet long enough to evacuate the base.

He has also been reported with the Kep Salu I in this time period, which was lost in 2400 to unknown circumstances. Several searches were sent out in tracking of the ship, but no trace of it was ever found. It is still listed as MIA. His next appearance was not until 2672, in which he helped to defend the key world of Grenada from a massive fleet that had dropped out of warp and began bombarding it. Reports indicate that with 3 ships, he managed to force the attacking fleet to begin shooting upon themselves, and thus throw them into dissarray long enough for re-enforcements to arrive. He was seen in several more engagements of the conflict that followed that, but they were all minor incidents.

In 2921, he was reportedly spotted by several fleets trying to stop an invasion from the future by several squadrons of highly advanced ships bent on destroying the federation and advancing their cause. While it is not known what he did to stop them, the results were evident, as the broken and totally incinerated hulls of the invasion fleet were found in the tigris expanse, lying close to a lingering radiation burst.

In 3203, he assumed command of a taskforce bent on trying to stop the Ohansu empire from spreading. With failed attempt after failed attempt, he was busted down from Fleet Admiral, to Fleet Captain, and put in charge of the 1701st Strike Fleet. When a transport carrying most of the top admiralty to a confrence on Alpha Centauri was destroyed in 3240, he assumed command of Starfleet in a desprate final few gambits to keep the Ohansu fleet from earth. However, due to tragicly misguided strategies and deployments by the Admiralty before their loss, the fleet was too far crippled to be effective, and he was blamed for the failures as the federation fell. After starfleet all but dissappeared in the invasion of earth, and the subsequent assaults by the newly formed Civil Alliance, he has been branded and outlaw and traitor, and a death warrant has been issued for his head.

His current wherabouts, and those of his ship are unknown.

It should be noted, that it may be possible that he has been more active than previously belived, having possibly participated in several key battles of the past 800 years. The ship in question is an unmarked Salu class battlecruiser, with only a friend/foe identifier for a ID beacon. The tactics of this ship correspond eeirily to his preferred methods of battle. A similar cruiser has been spotted recently in the Battle of Kalida.
