BOE Personnel Dossier: Jack White

Species: Human
Age: 21
Height: 5’5”
Weight: 125.9 lbsSummary:
Jaclyn “Jack” White is a lieutenant in the Soldiers of Ak’tarri, serving aboard the Avoria under Captain Raven White. She serves on Captain Raven White’s Strike Team Hunter-7 as navigator and chief combat specialist. Jaclyn White has played a critical role in multiple high-priority operations against Yvirri forces and is considered one of the most valuable combat assets currently serving under Ak’tarri command.Service Record:
Born on the Titan-class space station Araven in the year 2304, Jaclyn White was orphaned after the sudden death of her parents in 2309. After the death of their parents, her sister Raven White took legal custody of her rather than allow her to enter the foster system. Widely regarded as one of the most effective close-quarters combat specialists currently serving within the Soldiers of Ak’tarri, Jaclyn White was inducted into the Soldiers of Ak’tarri at eighteen years old in the year 2322. She was accepted into the Riftwalker program in 2324, and while on-mission has been allowed to continue her training under the supervision of Captain Raven White.Psychological Evaluation:
Known for her abrasive personality and impulsive aggression, Lieutenant White has accumulated multiple disciplinary reports involving crew and support personnel. While her combat effectiveness remains exceptional, continued concerns exist regarding authority compliance, emotional regulation, and escalation of interpersonal conflicts under stress. Five disciplinary hearings have been directly linked to incidents involving Lieutenant White. None resulted in termination of service.Note: It is unknown whether her relationship to Captain Raven White is a determinant of her continued enlistment with the Soldiers of Ak’tarri.Command Notes:
“I fisking love Jack. There’s no one else I’d rather storm an Yvirri stronghold with. Just don’t let her catch you cheating at yessrat.”
—Corporal Harin YosinThreat Assessment: Level 4 Personnel AssetLieutenant White’s strategic value to the Soldiers of Ak’tarri is considered exceptionally high. Loss of personnel would significantly impact ongoing reconnaissance and anti-Yvirri operations. Asset remains mission critical. Continue monitoring psychological indicators. In the event of destabilization, command authorization exists for immediate severance of operational connections.Restricted Addendum:
Fourteen sealed files unavailable below clearance level Omega Black. Two sealed files were added following the events of the Hevana district massacre. Further information unavailable at current clearance level. Requests for access require direct authorization from the Ak’tarri Triumvirate.

BOE Personnel Dossier: Raven White

Species: Human
Age: 43
Height: 5’7”
Weight: 136.3 lbsSummary:
Raven White is a captain in the Soldiers of Ak’tarri, and the long-term commander of Strike Team Hunter-7, a unit specializing in reconnaissance of Yvirri-controlled space. Captain White’s intel has been directly responsible for some of the most decisive victories against the Yvirri to date, including the rout of Gigha Tecta and the battle of Beta Namorr.Service Record:
Raven White was born on the Titan-class space station Araven in the year 2282 and applied for entry into the Soldiers of Ak’tarri at twenty-two years old. Two decades later, her aptitude scores remain a gold standard for human applicants entering the program. Raven White was the youngest recruit inducted into the Soldiers of Ak’tarri until that record was surpassed by Hashi Stormwalker and later Jaclyn White. Accepted into the Riftwalker program in 2305, Captain White remains one of the most powerful energy manipulators currently serving within the Soldiers of Ak’tarri.Psychological Evaluation:
While extremely competent and calm under pressure, Captain White has demonstrated a recurring pattern of emotional overreaction when personnel under her command are threatened. During the Nar’Kesh incident of 2317, Captain White ignored direct withdrawal orders and continued offensive operations after the presumed loss of two Strike Team Hunter-7 members. The operation ultimately succeeded, but resulted in formal disciplinary review. Similar incidents have occurred throughout her career, though at significantly lower severity.Command Notes:
“If Raven says she can get your people home, believe her. If Raven says she’s going after someone, get out of her way.”
—Commander Ishtar TraskThreat Assessment: Level 4 Personnel AssetCaptain White’s strategic value to the Soldiers of Ak’tarri is considered exceptionally high. Loss of personnel would significantly impact ongoing reconnaissance and anti-Yvirri operations. Asset remains mission-critical, and within acceptable parameters of psychological variance.Restricted Addendum:
Captain White’s personnel file contains twelve sealed entries unavailable below Omega Black clearance. Three sealed entries were added following the Nar’Kesh Incident. Further information unavailable at current clearance level. Requests for access require direct authorization from the Ak’tarri Triumvirate.

BOE Personnel Dossier: Carson White

Species: Human
Age: 45
Height: 6’2”
Weight: 245.3 lbsSummary:
Carson “Hammer” White is a commander in the Soldiers of Ak’tarri, currently serving on Strike Team Hunter-7 under Captain Raven White. He is a valuable leader on the battlefield, bringing decades of experience and tactical precision to every encounter. Commander White’s quick thinking and bold strikes against the enemy have resulted in multiple victories against the Essetachian hierarchy and contributed to Hunter-7 becoming one of the most feared incursion units operating in Yvirri space. Commander White demonstrates unusually strong protective behavior toward subordinate personnel, with several disciplinary incidents originating from actions taken in response to perceived threats against members of his unit.Service Record:
Carson White was born on the Titan-class space station Araven in the year 2279. He applied to the Soldiers of Ak’tarri three times before finally being accepted into their ranks at twenty-five years old. With average test scores, Carson White excelled at the obstacle course and battlefield simulations but little else. While serving aboard the Detrask under Captain Travis Driscoll, White demonstrated an unusual talent for strategic foresight during the Battle of Treant-3. He single-handedly prevented a rout of the Ak’tarri fleet by the Yvirri, although the move resulted in the destruction of a civilian supply depot and thirteen merchant freighters. While the tide was ultimately turned in the Soldiers’ favor and the system saved from Yvirri integration, Commander White was removed from duty immediately after, pending multiple charges of insubordination. A decade later, Treant-3 is still used as a prime example of how the ends do not always justify the means.Psychological Evaluation:
Parental abuse, substance abuse, criminal activity, and affiliation with the Scarlet Blades has left Carson White with a troubled past, manifesting in extreme psychological unbalance. Excessive childhood trauma and exposure to violence at a young age have manifested into a combative personality that often masks intense emotion behind sarcasm and dismissive behavior. Despite being clean from drugs and maintaining a rigorous military lifestyle, Carson White retains a propensity to ignore orders and make decisions based solely on emotion, rather than hard evidence.Command Notes:
“Hammer is the best godsdamned Soldier you’ll ever serve with…until he’s not.”
—Redacted—Threat Assessment: Level 4 Personnel AssetCommander White possesses a demonstrated willingness to pursue victory beyond acceptable operational risk thresholds. While this tendency has resulted in repeated disciplinary action throughout his career, battlefield projections indicate casualty rates increase significantly when White is removed from command authority. Continued utilization is recommended despite associated command concerns.Restricted Addendum:
Twelve sealed files unavailable below clearance level Epsilon Orange. Five files unavailable below clearance level Omega Black. Carson White remains a person-of-interest in the disappearance of Alex Larson (2289). Investigation remains active. Further information unavailable at current clearance level.

BOE Personnel Dossier: Jya kopa

Species: Adarr, humanoid xeno from Aithea, capable of manipulating atmospheric water vapor into solid ice.
Age: 27
Height: 6’2”
Weight: 190.2 lbsSummary:
Jya Copa is an Adarrian Icewalker, currently serving as a secondary combat specialist on Strike Team Hunter-7, under Captain Raven White. A practitioner of the ancient art of Tirre Sheda, Jya Kopa is a dangerous opponent, and an invaluable member of both Strike Team Hunter-7 and the Soldiers of Ak’tarri. Many uncertain ground battles have been won due to her presence on the battlefield.Service Record:
Jya Kopa was born on the ice planet Aithea where she became one of the most gifted practitioners of the ancient art of Tirre Sheda. After a Yvirri assault on Kayaki research station resulted in the death of over one hundred Adarrian scientists, Kopa transferred to the Titan-class space station Araven at the age of twenty-two. She was approached by Ak’tarri recruiters after defending herself from an attack in the Sistaku district, and has since proven herself to be an indomitable force on the battlefield. In recent years she has become one of the Soldiers’ most decorated members.Psychological Evaluation:
Jya Kopa possesses a concerning level of emotional detachment, choosing to operate at an extreme level of suppression. While not unheard of for her species, on the rare occasion that raw emotion overcomes her control, the results can be catastrophic. Multiple deaths onboard the station have been attributed to rapid hypothermia, extreme frostbite, and catastrophic freezing of internal organs. All victims were members of violent criminal organizations operating aboard Araven. All were discovered in locations where Jya Kopa was reportedly present prior to their deaths.Twelve charges of assault with a deadly weapon and fifteen charges of first-degree murder have been brought against her during her time with the Soldiers.None have resulted in incarceration or termination of service.Command notes:
“I never knew someone could be so hot and so cold at the same time. Still, there’s nobody I’d rather have beside me. In love, in life, or in a straight-up fight.”
—Private First Class Sissaku RiazThreat Assessment: Level 5 Personnel AssetJya Kopa’s combat effectiveness places her among the most valuable personnel currently serving within the Soldiers of Ak’tarri. Her elemental abilities have directly altered the outcome of numerous engagements, while her ability to maintain composure under extreme stress continues to make her an asset to Central Command.Operational Recommendation:
Continued utilization authorized. A few dead gang members in the alleys of Sistaku is a small price to pay for galactic freedom.Restricted Addendum:
Jya Kopa’s personnel file contains seven sealed files unavailable below clearance level Epsilon Orange. Five sealed files unavailable below clearance level Omega Black. Jya Kopa remains a person of interest in the following deaths:• Jazz Riker

BOE Personnel Dossier: Kilani Yakkta

Species: Xi Laon, humanoid xeno from Gesnu Yiri, capable of manipulating an individual’s thoughts through speech.
Age: 189
Height: 5’10”
Weight: 135.7 lbsSummary:
Kilani Yakkta is a Xi Laon Soothsayer, currently serving as a corpsman on Strike Team Hunter-7, under Captain Raven White. A practitioner of the respected and feared Xi Laon art of Seshi Naku or ‘The Voice’, Kilani Yakkta is a valued member of Strike Team Hunter-7 and the Soldiers of Ak’tarri. Her quick thinking, medical expertise, and mastery of the Voice have saved countless lives during her years of service.Service Record:
Kilani Yakkta was born on Gesnu Yiri and lived there for one-hundred and thirty-seven years as a healer and local birth-mother, using her talent with Seshi Naku to ease the painful experience of childbirth for expectant mothers. Approaching her middle years, she sought employment off-world, working as a healer on multiple worlds and stations. After the Yvirri invaded her homeworld, the remaining Xi Laon fled to the safety of the Araven. In search of vengeance, Yakkta followed, applying for and being accepted into the Soldiers of Ak’tarri as a medical corpsman. Since then her skills with medicine and the Voice have eased the pain and passing of multiple Soldiers.Psychological Evaluation:
While Corpsman Yakkta is sweet and loving on the surface, underneath, there is clear evidence of severe trauma manifesting as excessive need for emotional validation and interpersonal attachment. While a competent Soldier and accomplished medic, her flirtatious personality and promiscuous behavior have proven to be a cause of severe unrest both at home and in the field, causing turmoil with her fellow Soldiers. Seventy-two formal complaints regarding inappropriate workplace behavior have been filed against Corpsman Yakkta during her time with the Soldiers.Every complaint was withdrawn prior to disciplinary review.Command Notes:
“I would trust her with my life. I just wouldn’t trust her alone with my husband.”
—RedactedThreat Assessment: Level 3 Personnel AssetWhile Kilani Yakkta remains a valuable asset to the Soldiers of Ak’tarri, the mountain of disciplinary action taken against her remains a cause for concern. Continued utilization authorized. Human Resources has requested reassignment seventeen times.Restricted Addendum:
One-hundred and fifty-seven documented incidents requiring Human Resources intervention, three sealed files unavailable below clearance level Alpha Green, five sealed files unavailable below clearance level Gamma Blue, four sealed files unavailable below clearance level Delta Yellow, and seven sealed files unavailable below clearance level Epsilon Orange.

BOE Personnel Dossier: Dar Karn

Species: Pion Terri, adaptive polymorphic xenoform. Subject displays no consistent anatomical configuration.
Age: 142
Height: 6’0” in base form
Weight: Fluctuates based on formSummary:
Darn Karn is a Pion Terri sniper and infiltration specialist serving on Strike Team Hunter-7, under Ak’tarri Captain Raven White. He is a former member of the Pion Terri extremists Keth’Sava, and an accomplished sharpshooter and shapeshifter. Dar Karn is a valued member of Strike Team Hunter-7, with his shapeshifting abilities often being the difference between success and failure during Hunter-7’s missions behind enemy lines.Kill count: 289
Greatest distance: 673 yardsService Record:
Dar Karn was born on the world of Terra Joa, the first world glassed from orbit by the Yvirri. Only those Pion Terri who were off-world during the bombardment survived.Eager to strike back at the enemy after the deaths of his family, Karn joined the Keth’Sava extremist group and quickly established himself as their most decorated sharpshooter. Over the next five years he hunted down hundreds of Yvirri across multiple worlds, until finally the savage methods of the Keth’Sava drove him to leave the group and seek refuge on the space station Araven. He applied for entry into the Soldiers of Ak’tarri and was officially accepted into their ranks at the age of one-hundred and thirty-five. In his years of service Specialist Karn has racked up an impressive number of kills—the highest of any sharpshooter in the history of the Soldiers of Ak’tarri.Psychological Evaluation:
Due to extensive trauma, Karn relies heavily on humor, sarcasm, and emotional detachment as coping mechanisms. Glimpses of the man beneath the mask have revealed a deeply-caring individual with strong bonds to friends and family. Clinical assessment suggests he avoids forming bonds in order to avoid the pain of more loss. Karn has a propensity for practical jokes that often go too far, and has been formally banned from nine of the fifteen northern Araven districts, and four from the south.Command Notes:
“I can never tell if that empty look in his eyes is real or not. Whenever he catches me looking, he turns them as white as noord milk.”
-Staff Sergeant Miklish DuvalThreat Assessment: Level 4 Personnel AssetDespite his unorthodox methods and irreverent attitude toward military protocol, Karn remains one of the Soldiers’ most effective assets and a truly destructive force on the battlefield. Pion Terri military personnel are rare, and one capable of carrying out such orders without hesitation is even rarer.Asset is to be protected at all costs.Restricted Addendum:
Dar Karn’s personnel file contains fifteen sealed files unavailable below clearance code Omega Black.[Update]Dar Karn’s personnel file now contains nothing but a piece of paper with a crude drawing of a smiling face with gleaming white teeth.

BOE Personnel Dossier: Hashi Stormwalker

Species: Bo Tark. Avian species native to Trides Gaia. Known for exceptional pattern recognition and spatial reasoning.
Average lifespan: 140 cycles
Age: 25
Height: 4’6”
Weight: 95.7 lbsSummary:
Hashi Stormwalker is a Bo Tark engineer assigned to Strike Team Hunter-7 under Captain Raven White. Widely regarded as one of the most gifted technical specialists currently serving within the Soldiers of Ak’tarri, Stormwalker has repeatedly demonstrated an exceptional ability to repair, modify, and repurpose damaged equipment under combat conditions. His unconventional methods have directly contributed to the survival of Hunter-7 personnel on numerous occasions.Service Record:
Hashi Stormwalker was recruited from Trides Gaia after attracting the attention of Ak’tarri scouts during a large-scale industrial systems failure. Witness reports indicate he restored a critical atmospheric processor using salvaged components after senior engineers declared the structure unsalvageable. Hashi Stormwalker holds the record of being the youngest cadet inducted into the Soldiers of Ak’tarri at only seventeen years old, beating the record set by Jaclyn White by several months. Since joining the Soldiers of Ak’tarri, Stormwalker has participated in over forty reconnaissance and combat operations across Yvirri-controlled space, frequently serving as the team’s primary engineering and technical support specialist.Psychological Evaluation:
Displays unusually high curiosity levels and a persistent tendency to dismantle unfamiliar technology without authorization. Stormwalker has accumulated multiple disciplinary reports relating to unauthorized modifications of military equipment, support systems, and secured laboratory assets. Despite these incidents, investigations consistently conclude that his actions were motivated by technical curiosity rather than malicious intent.While generally cooperative and highly social, Stormwalker demonstrates a limited understanding of procedural boundaries when presented with unfamiliar technology. Continued supervision is recommended when operating near experimental systems.Command Notes:
“Half the things keeping Hunter-7 alive shouldn’t work. Most of them only do because Hashi touched them.”
—Captain Raven WhiteThreat Assessment: Level 3 Personnel AssetStormwalker possesses technical expertise considered difficult to replace within current operational theaters. While not considered physically dangerous, his ability to manipulate, bypass, or repurpose advanced technology represents a significant strategic asset. Stormwalker’s primary value lies not in formal technical training, but in his demonstrated ability to generate functional solutions under conditions where conventional engineering practices have failed. Continued monitoring of unauthorized engineering activity is advised.Restricted Addendum:
Stormwalker has been denied access to fourteen research laboratories, six prototype development facilities, and one experimental reactor complex.
The reactor complex incident remains under review. Requests for additional information require Omega Black clearance.

t'satalaki biological report

Threat assessment file

DESIGNATION: T'SATALAKICLASSIFICATION: BIOLOGICAL SIEGE PREDATOR
ORIGIN WORLD: CIVAL
FIRST RECORDED AK'TARRI ENCOUNTER: VORRATH IX
THREAT LEVEL: EXTINCTION CLASSDESCRIPTION:
The T'SATALAKI is a heavily armored apex predator native to the world of Cival. Pronounced sexual dimorphism exists within the species. Male specimens typically stand between ten and fifteen feet in height, while mature females have been documented reaching heights between thirty and fifty feet.The species possesses a centipede-like lower body supported by multiple toxin-injecting locomotion limbs. Their most distinctive features are a pair of massive serrated forelimbs resembling oversized crustacean pincers, capable of crushing armored personnel, defensive fortifications, and light vehicles.The head structure is broad and flattened, containing multiple rows of black sensory eyes and powerful hooked mandibles used for feeding and close-quarters combat. Despite their size, T'SATALAKI specimens have demonstrated remarkable speed and agility during active hunts.BEHAVIOR:
T'SATALAKI display predatory intelligence significantly above that of most known apex species. Recorded encounters suggest an ability to identify priority targets, exploit weaknesses in defensive positions, and coordinate attacks against concentrated resistance.They are most commonly encountered during large-scale Essetach military operations, where they function as living siege organisms. Their deployment frequently precedes catastrophic losses among defending forces.KNOWN CAPABILITIES:
• Extreme physical strength
• Heavy natural armor resistant to small-arms fire
• Serrated crushing pincers capable of breaching fortifications
• Multiple toxin-injecting locomotion limbs
• Advanced sensory perception
• High-speed assault capability
• Exceptional resilience to battlefield traumaVORRATH IX INCIDENT:
The first documented Ak'tarri encounter with the species occurred during military operations on Vorrath IX. Initial reports described the organisms as oversized arthropods. Subsequent battlefield recordings revealed a far more dangerous reality.Multiple defensive positions were overrun within minutes of first contact. Survivors reported that conventional infantry tactics proved largely ineffective against mature specimens without concentrated heavy weapons support.ARCHIVE NOTE:T'SATALAKI are not deployed to occupy territory.They are deployed to break it.

Fall of Vorrath IX

Report Summary

ARCHIVE DESIGNATION: VX-INC-001
CLASSIFICATION: OMEGA
ARCHIVE STATUS: VERIFIEDINCIDENT OVERVIEW
Vorrath IX was an Ak’tarri colonial settlement situated along the Northern Expansion Corridor, serving as a civilian population center, military logistics hub, and forward staging world for frontier operations.At the time of the incident, the colony maintained a civilian population of approximately 48,000 inhabitants, protected by planetary defense forces, orbital security platforms, and the Ak’tarri Defense Fleet.Without prior warning, multiple unidentified contacts entered the system beyond conventional sensor range. Initial reports classified the contacts as anomalous sensor interference due to the complete absence of detectable propulsion signatures.Within the first hour, orbital defense stations ceased transmission.Simultaneous orbital bombardment and coordinated biological assaults followed shortly thereafter, overwhelming every major population center before organized planetary defenses could be established.**The colony was declared irrecoverable less than one turn after first contact.CASUALTY ASSESSMENT
Civilian Population: 48,000
Confirmed Evacuated: 983
Confirmed Fatalities: Unknown
Missing / Presumed Lost: 47,017
Confirmed Colony Survival Rate: 2.05%
Planetary Recovery Probability: 0.0%MILITARY ASSESSMENT
Recovered combat recordings indicate that conventional infantry weapons were largely ineffective against the primary biological assault organisms.Planetary defensive positions collapsed in successive engagements while orbital superiority was lost during the opening stages of the invasion.Multiple reports describe coordinated attacks between unidentified warships and large biological entities operating simultaneously across the planetary surface.No successful counteroffensive has been recovered from surviving military records.PLANETARY STATUS

Enemy fleet demonstrated complete orbital superiority.Orbital plasma bombardment rendered all major population centers nonviable before evacuation efforts could be completed.Surface organisms displayed unprecedented resistance to conventional and anti-armor weaponry. Multiple reports describe individual organisms capable of destroying fortified structures, armored vehicles, and evacuation transports without measurable degradation in combat effectiveness.Enemy numerical strength exceeded tactical tracking capability.STRATEGIC CONCLUSION
Military analysis concludes that the defense of Vorrath IX became untenable approximately 39 Increments after first enemy contact.No available reinforcement package could have prevented the loss of the colony.Future encounters with similar enemy formations are to be classified as PLANETARY EXTINCTION-CLASS EVENTS until proven otherwise.FINAL DISPOSITION
