Name: Owen Magnus Role: The Admiral of the Perelliator Age: 47 Rank: Admiral Ship: Behemoth class Battlecruiser Homeworld: Nephor II Appearance: (Until the picture is come, this is Cruallassar's description.) A stern-looking man of average height, with a short beard and mustache, the same color as his dark hair. He wears his many years of experience on his face in a manner reminiscent of rank tabs, and his severe expression serving as a clear reminder of the calculating mind behind it...yet not at all betraying the sort of mind-set that invented the Jump-and-Dump maneuver. He wears a Confederate Admiral's uniform with Dominion insignia...and a sword. Because...sword. What's not to love? Gender: Male Personality: Calm, methodical, and always planning. Backstory overview: Born in the year 2469, Owen Magnus is from a middle class family living on Nephor II. When he was 18 he enlisted in the Confederate navy and was stationed at an on-planet base as a Viking pilot. Three years after his assignment he was recommended for officer candidate school, he graduated three years later as a lieutenant. He was then transferred to the Perelliator, a Behemoth class Battlecruiser under the command of Admiral Ferran Speffer. He climbed the ranks for nine years till he achieved the rank of Commodore. Due to the rebellion that had been gaining momentum recently, ships were on short supply in the Confederacy, and the now commodore Owen Magnus remained on board the Perelliator. In 2598 the Perelliator is refitted to now-modern standards with a Yamato cannon, Collossus reactor, thicker armor, and stronger shields. and on special request by Admiral Speffer, a science and engineering bay. One and a half years later in 2500 the Perelliator is ordered to assist in the blockade on Antiga Prime. The Zerg attack the blockade and the Perelliator is damaged and boarded by the zerg, Admiral Speffer orders an emergency fast jump while marines fight the Zerg on board. The ship spends the next two days in uncharted space eliminating all the Zerg, and cleaning the ship of dead crew. The Perelliator now had 1238 less (out of 6780)members than it did forty hours before. During this time talk of defecting circulated thought the crew, Admiral Speffer addressed the crew and presented two options: stay in the Confederacy, or to defect too the now massive movement of Arcturus Mengsk. Considering the recent actions by the Sons of Korhal, an almost unanimous decision was made by the crew to defect. The Perelliator and its crew spent the next four years running troops and supplies too and from the front lines for the Sons of Korhal, then the Dominion during the Brood War. The Perelliator was then stationed as the defense for the planet Seti along with a Minotaur class Battlecruiser. During this assignment the planet was attacked by a small fleet of Zerg, with an early initial run of scourges damaged the ship and injured some of the crew. Admiral Speffer was among the injured, and the second in command Commodore Magnus assumed commanded of the Perelliator and made what could possibly be the shortest FTL jump in Terran history with a maneuver the crew nick-named the JUMP AND DUMP. In the coarse of five minutes he had the ship prep its now old planetary bombardement nuclear warheads and charge both FTL drives (some older Battlecruisers had a main and a less powerful secondary drive) he had the engineering crew program the main drive to activate for a fraction of a second to jump into the middle of the main Zerg force while launching all the nukes the ship had available, before activating the second drive to a near by system. The maneuver worked better than hoped for, with all but the outer fringes of the Zerg force decimated, and the other Battlecruiser finished those off quickly. Soon after this engagement Admiral Speffer retired, and Owen Magnus received a commendation for the defense of the system, and overcoming overwhelming odds, as well as receiving a promotion to Admiral. With the retirement of Admiral Speffer, Admiral Magnus was given (per his request) the Perelliator to command. The ship played a relativity minor role in the war after that incident, much to the relief of the crew. Just before the Second Great War, the Perelliator was given another refit, adding a series of cluster missile batteries and a Battlecruiser-mounted defensive matrix. (which had been undergoing field testing on Science vessels during the Brood War) During the Second War, the Perelliator participated in only a few battles, playing a minor role in fleet actions over Korhal during the Zerg Invasion, and later serving with Admiral Horner in the defense of Korhal against the Moebius Foundation forces under Amon's influence.
