The Life of Tacitus Northman

Tacitus grew up in the Essence region of the Crux constellation. He was the third of three children, all boys. His father was a pilot in the Gallentean Navy and his mother was a admin clerk in the war counsel. Tacitus grew up surrounded by War and the constant talk of battle.



Tacitus was an amazingly intelligent and Cunning child with an excellent aptitude for strategy both in calm and stressful situations. As the third child he was allocated the least amount of time by his already overburdened parents. So it came as no surprise that as soon as he was old enough he enlisted in the Navy to get away from his family who had little if sometimes no time for him. He graduated top of his class from the Federation Naval Academy and was assigned aboard the Ravager, a Gallentean Battleship tasked in patrolling the Federation Border systems.
