Admiral Aslai

Aslai is an admiral in the Luminarian Navy who currently serves as the commander of the Luminarian Navy's 2nd BattleFleet since Year 5 of the Great War. He has played a major role in the Luminarian naval history of the Great War as the Commander in Chief of the Zaretian and Margan fronts, commanding naval, ground and intelligence assets.

Aslai is the leading Luminarian Navy authority on next-generation warfare. As the Admiral with the most combat experience alongside his qualifications on battlefield psychology and xenopsychology, Aslai oversaw the conversion of the Luminarian Navy to 5th Generation standards and was also in charge of overhauling a majority of the Navy's training curriculum to better train personnel to handle 5th Generation tech, tactical warfighting, and strategic planning.

Early life and education
Aslai was born as the only child to Annekisel and Lysandis on the planet Asteria, during the Colonial Wars. He was significantly influenced by his father Lysandis, who was working as a psychologist for the Empire's Navy. Aslai listened to and was fascinated by the many stories he heard from servicemen who came to see his father.

Originally, Aslai applied to the Helst Officer Academy in the hopes of becoming a ship captain, but no appointments were available. Instead, he enlisted in the Colonial Navy's Fighter Corps.

Early career
After finishing Basic Military Training and Basic Piloting Course, Aslai was assigned to the 32nd Flapjacks, a fighter squadron attached to the LNCr Auspicious and served on her as she carried out anti-piracy operations within the Asterian League.

Within the year, Aslai's superior took note of his aptitude in locating and defeating pirates along with his piloting skills and eventually promoted him to the 3rd Wing Commander of the newly created 26th Pulsars stationed on the LNCr Verdant, which was performing convoy escort through pirate-infested space.

Aslai was transferred to 1109th Covert, as part of a heavily classified operation. Throughout the course of the operation, Aslai received the Medal of Valor and a combat injury that would take 4 months to recover from. Upon his recovery, he was immediately fast-tracked to Commander, Air Group of the LNCr Bravado.

Serving 3 years onboard the Bravado, Aslai undertook a change in operational specialty, to a warship officer. This required him to spend 3 years in the Helst Officer Academy, graduating with a bachelor in battlefield psychology. After graduation, he was given command of the Sub-Battlegroup Iroha with additional duty in command of LNC Nexus. Aslai ran a quiet bridge, without chit-chat; he demanded that orders be given concisely and clearly.

Aslai caught the attention of the 2nd BattleFleet's Admiral, Chakei during the 6th InterFleet exercises, and recommended him for the Helst Naval Space War College, which he completed his Master of Strategic Studies in 2 years and returned to the 2nd BattleFleet and given command of the Battlegroup Telethia and the LNBs Zenith.

Luminarian Schism
In the first year of the Luminarian Schism, Aslai commanded the Battlegroup Telethia from the LNBs Relentless. Early on, Aslai had led his Battlegroup on hit-and-run raids deep into Empire space, targeting shipyards, logistics bases, early warning stations and even managing to launch a bombing raid on the Empire's Ministry of Intelligence headquarters on Tripolia whilst avoiding retribution from the Empire Fleets by using his deep understanding of the Empire's psyche. These raids were critical to morale and setting a new tone of aggressiveness by Rebel commanders while providing invaluable battle experience for the commanders and sailors of the Luminarian Navy.
