Adamaris Cannon

Captain of the Menaulion, one of three Loggerhead-class ships operational in the Christmas War.

Appearance
Nearly always dressed in navy blue ESU captain’s attire, Adamaris invokes the image of a successful if not stern commander. Her uniform is well decorated and gilded gold, with a small black commander’s cap on her head. Her hair- dirty blonde and straight, extends down to her cheeks, hiding a plain face with expressive emerald eyes. She appears short, barely 5’0, and with an unassuming build.

Adamaris is nearly always seated in an assisted captain’s chair, which is capable of moving along the ship under its own power. On occasion and within private quarters, she may be found wearing assisted power legs, but often finds the exoskeletal structure to be uncomfortable.

History
Started as a navy officer for the United States Navy, before enlisting into the ESU. She was able to gain respect as a capable tactician and commanding officer, commanding ships at sea and in space for some time. A workaholic to her core, Adamaris’s relationship with her crew is only ever strictly professional, and she tends to favor simple rationality over becoming emotionally invested.

Due to this, she has a fairly high turnover rate of crew, with many cycling to other stations or commanders due to her command style. Likewise very little is known about her personal life by most crew members, though she is married to an Alexander Cannon, a Sergeant in the ESU space division. The two keep their personal life secret, and outside of a few chances to meet, many wonder how they kept their relationship afloat.

Adamaris was one of the few selected to captain a Loggerhead-class ship, and was quickly chosen as the captain for the Menaulion. Her second-in-command transferred with her, but otherwise most of her crew was fresh. She seems to take her job as seriously as ever, but with the death of her husband during the opening stages of the Christmas War, time will tell how she fares.
