Captain Gabriel Havara
Player: Jason Howard

Homeworld: Coruscant
Species: Human
Sex: Male
Age: 29
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 75 kg
Hair:  Blonde/Brown, short and curly.
Eyes: Sky Blue

Physical description: Medium build and standing at 5’10”, Gabriel is 29 years old and looks like he atleast tries to keep fit but does not seem to be strong. What he lacks in strength comes in his slightly gain in agility, tactics and command. His hair is curly, unlike most who’s is straight, and is cut to a shorter length to keep to standard protocols. His face is cleanly shaven with no signs of a gotee or sideburns. His face seems unscarred except slight lines have appeared under his eyes from late nights.

Personality: Gabriel had his grandfather as an Idol and hence took up some of his personality, which was a fighter pilot’s intellect and tactics. Taking tactics from his grandfather and building upon it in the Academy, he became not only a tactician with an Interdictor and their gravity wells, but as well with Starfighters as they were the ‘arms of any ship to reach out and grip the life from thine enemy when one’s legs are not long enough. He also has a strong voice and will to fight the enemy yet still has hidden remorse to his lost Capital Ship recently. Although short lived, he moved on from it knowing the only cure for this fire was to add more wood to it. Gabriel has never been married and even in the academy when he had females ask him out, he never accepted as work was more important than another duty that could weight everything down. He still likes to have casual drinks of scotch and even enjoys, when he has the time, a few games of greenput now and then.

Quote: “Starfighters are the arms of any ship to reach out and grip the life from thine enemy when one’s legs are not long enough.”

Objectives: To defeat the Empire’s enemies and to stomp out all insignificant threats with well planned tactics and command abilities.

Equipment: Imperial uniform, Blaster Pistol (4D), Rank Code Cylinder.

Background: 

Gabriel was born on Coruscant just before the Empire was formed and the Old Republic still held in place solidly. His father, Mark, lived a solitary life as a shop owner on Coruscant where he made clothing for those who had the money to pay for it; this was what Gabriel had been brought into and at a young age found it tiring yet knew that credits made the world go round.

There were times though that Gabriel got time to stay with his Grandfather, Kael, since he was born up until the age of seventeen. Kael was a Squadron Leader for the 218th “Vulture” Fast Attack Squadron for the Old Republic Starfighter Corps.

Kael, unlike his quieter son, was a great story teller giving Gabriel experiences of battles he would never forget and some he never had forgotten. Among the stories his grandfather had told him even before Gabriel was able to speak himself but could understand and take the information in piece by piece, he learnt of methods used by Kael through his eventual thirty-six year Tour of Duty.

As the years rolled by, Gabriel began taking the attitude of his grandfather rather than his business like father with his shop. The stories continued and Gabriel began to understand that they were spiced up but what was said within them seemed logical enough for the moves to work; he never forgot them as he found himself walking into the Imperial Naval Academy after already gone through a fleet camp as well as a sector naval academy.

Eighteen years old, he stepped into the original academy, and a video message to his grandfather happened for exactly 53 seconds. Kael had been very proud of his grandson but his time has come as the grandson’s idol passed away in his sleep that night.

Gabriel mourned for a single day where he almost left the Academy to head back home but stopped himself; instead he did what he knew his grandfather wanted, why he had been so proud in the first place.

If Gabriel had had any personal life before this Academy, all remnants of it had now disappeared as Gabriel spent all his spare time in the simulators practicing tactics in various vessels they talked of within classes like the Strike Cruisers, Interdictor Cruisers and the Imperial Star Destroyers.

While in the Academy he gained little to no friends, but gained respect from those around him from his use of tactics or atleast his obscure methods from time to time until the students found themselves on the podium at graduation.

Lieutenant Havara found himself aboard the Escort Carrier “Tangible” only months before the Battle of Endor began and ended. On the Instigator he was placed as their helmsmen and as he was assigned there he was able to get a close-up view of what good tactics and Starfighter placement could effectively do in a battle.

Two years later after the Battle of Endor, Gabriel was reassigned to the Interdictor Cruiser I “Instigator” where again he found himself as their Helmsmen yet due to his thoughts given from time to time, Gabriel one day found himself watching the Helmsmen as he was made the First Officer and promoted to Commander.

--

“Medical emergency; medical team to bridge!” Gabriel yelled through the ship communications and as he looked at the other officers on the bridge then back down to the now unconscious Captain who was bleeding from the side of his head, the ship too again a second ship-moving hit.

“Helm, turn about to port 33.5 degrees-“ He commanded, his eyes moving from the viewscreen to the Captain and back until the medical team rushed in and took the Captain off. Sitting down into the Captain’s chair, Gabriel assessed his situation. Tapping into the console in the edge of the chair, he checked sensors, and displays as the ship took another hit.

“Shields at 43%, Sir.” An officer said and Gabriel nodded. “Understood.”

“Maneuver complete, Sir.” Helm injected into the conversation.

Only a nod this time from the Commander. “Time until the Intolerable and the Dementia arrive.”

“5 minutes and 35 seconds, Sir.” Both ships were Imperial Star Destroyers, something they needed to boost their current situation of an Escort Carrier, an Interdictor and some fighters. The smaller ships had been used to draw them in, until the Star Destroyers jumped in.

Gabriel would quicken that to their advantage.

“Throw me a gravity well in 5 minutes…” He tapped his console as if calculating. “…9 SU’s from the MC80 and 10 SU’s from the Assault Frigate… “ 20 seconds before the Star Destroyers would normally appear but they would now appear in the middle of the battle to stir up the ants.

“Open a channel to the Tangible,” His old Escort Carrier, still alive. “its time to play.”

“Channel open.”

“James-“ Gabriel said on a first name term, the Captain now was the past First Officer.”-we have three and a half minutes to get prepared. I’m transmitting co-ordinates now for where I am placing the gravity wells. It will…”

“…bring the Star Destroyers straight into battle. You want to risk your life to see that work?” The Captain asked.

“I already know its going to work. Instigator out.”

Three and a half minutes came, and what happened was exactly what Gabriel said where the ISD”s jumped in and began opening fire, adapting to the situation they were ‘pulled’ into and destroyed the frigate and captured the MC80.

“A simple move.”

“A smart move to turn the tide so that the ISD’s wouldn’t be milling about until we set ourselves instead you did it in your spare time. It’s a pity communications never work otherwise we could have spiced it up.” The Dementia’s Captain said, with a grin, to Gabriel as they walked into the medical bay of the Instigator to find a wounded Captain getting up to leave the area.

“I heard my First Officer did a fine job out there. Keep it up kid.” Gabriel grinned at the Interdictor Captain’s comment, knowing he was a ‘kid’ in this field at the age of 24 years. 

--

That day was nothing out of the ordinary for the Instigator, whom always seem to find the right place to stir up trouble and still come out on top. Time moved on, and he stayed on the same ship and in time became her Captain when the previous Captain was promoted up the ranks.

On his 29th birthday, he entered a battle headstrong as they faced this time a lone MC100a, a larger variant of the MC80 Star Cruiser as they had their lone Interdictor waiting with another Imperial Star Destroyer Mk II the Indomitable..

History was repeating itself, as Gabriel placed the well where he wanted it to be to pull the other ships from hyperspace and into the battlefield.

What happened he couldn’t fix.

In jumped the three Star Destroyers as well as 2 Escort Carriers and a Dreamnaught and the seconds passed by as their bows moved towards the enemy just when…

3 MC80s, 2 Nebulon B Frigates and 2 Assault Frigates jumped in as well due to their gravity well.  

“Used against us.” Gabriel whispered to himself. “Helm, about to port 80 degrees and launch all fighters we have and send them on an assault run against those escort carriers but mind the Neb-B.”

They had to work fast and yet time still was against them. Five hours later he found himself in the Indomitable’s medical bay with an injured arm. An officer came into the medical bay and handed him a datapad then disappeared again. 

He read it. “100 survivors. Only 100 survivors.” He said to himself and cursed his failure. He now knew he had to scale his tactics up even more to backfire the enemy even more. As Gabriel lay upon the bed he rubbed his chin, his mind formulating again as he always found himself doing.

Now back on Carida, he awaited his reassignment into the field and to work out what his ship would turn out to be after being on the Interdictor the last seven years and captaining her for four years.
