[b][i][color=aba000]Personality[/color][/i][/b]: When you first meet him, he can seem a bit strict, imposing, even frightening. After knowing him for a while, he turns out to be a pretty calm, collected, and likeable guy. He only puts on that persona because of his position. As his friend, he's the kind of guy who you'd invite out for a drink on Coruscant some time. On the battlefield, all this is pushed to the back of his mind, and he goes into his officer mode. He'll holler out orders left and right, and likes to employ the tactic of taking down cruisers one at a time if possible, focusing all firepower on a single target, usually the biggest and most troublesome.

[b][i][color=aba000]Backstory[/color][/i][/b]: Millon was born on the planet Corellia 25 years before the Battle of Geonosis. His parents were a middle class family who greatly supported the Republic, though many people were beginning to lose faith in the Republic Government at this time. As early as he could, he enrolled in the Anaxas Naval Academy, though there was little call for it at the time. Millon wanted a position in the Republic, and a Position on a Ship, so this was the best of both worlds.

It was here he actually met Kelen Rolin, a Jedi Padawan at the time. The two became fast friends, and both pledged to meet again after Rolin had to depart from Anaxas with his master. He studied hard, and was nearly acing every exam he was given. He graduated only a few months after the Naboo Crisis. He wasn't the top of his class, but he was one of the most popular students and many wished him well as his career took off. Often he was dispatched on missions using his Consular Class Cruiser, usually transporting Diplomats across the galaxy and back.

Several years passed, and soon it became apparent that a split in the Galaxy had occurred. Inevitably, war broke out following the Battle of Geonosis. With his service record, he was assigned as Captain of the Venator Star Cruiser "Excalibur". However, his promotion was short lived. The Excalibur was attacked by a Separatist Fleet. Almost all hands were lost, including the Admiral of the ship. Millon was one of only about twenty survivors. The ship was destroyed, but he was given a medal of honor for his actions, which saved the lives of the survivors.

He was promoted to Admiral, and was selected to command a new prototype warship, designated as the Republic Battleship. Millon was even given the honor of naming the ship, and he named it after the first Venator he had served on. Not long after, the Excalibur was linked up with the Naval Fleet of the 117th Attack Battalion, under... Kelen Rolin. As he had pledged, he would meet his old friend once more. Now, both were in the highest positions possible, and they had to look good for each other.
