Background

Vincent Moreau was an ace pilot for the Lyran Commonwealth, serving at the whim of Social General Jack Harper. A brutal man who was somewhat more efficient than his counterparts yet still fell into the trap of disorganization and incompetence. General Harper noticed Moreau’s aptitude at a young age and took him to be trained, and he soon became one of the best pilots Harper had ever seen. The only thing he was lacking was experience and wisdom but Harper wasn’t worried about that. Moreau followed orders and was a genius in combat. Moreau was a quiet kid, always with his nose in the books, on the tarmac with his fighter or, on rare occasions, painting.

At the age of 18, Moreau was made Lance Leader of his wing and led through a great deal of hardship and success. During his tenure, he used the callsign Volcano; signifying the targets he was given were always left as smoking craters. His wing consisted of two other aerospace fighters, both around his age. Janet Fox, callsign Vixen and Cameron O’Neill, callsign Shaft. Their Lance was known as the Phoenix Force. Each of them were skilled pilots in their own right and took their lead from Moreau. They served a few years together in support of ground mechs hitting various targets. To each of them, a target given was just that, a target. It wasn’t a person, a group or anything. It was a target, something they’ve hit countless times in training. Nothing more.

On a fateful day, all that changed. A particularly volatile conflict escalated and The Phoenix Force was called in for air support. Ground Mechs were holding station five clicks away and a particular target needed to be eliminated before they could advance. There was another air unit opposing them so the Phoenix Force went in with intent to kill. It was almost child’s play for the Phoenix Force, Vixen and Shaft peeled off to lure the enemy air away while Volcano set up for a strafing run. He had a guided ballistic package that was locked on target, and Harper was on comms with his lance specifically. It was odd for the General to take such a direct involvement in a particular strike, but Moreau wasn’t going to question his orders.

As soon as Moreau dropped the package, he heard Vixen break over the comm telling him to abort, but it was too late. The target had already been incinerated as Vixen took his wing. The ground forces they were sent to kill were refugees, and the air unit was made up of civilians trying to protect them which explains why it felt so easy. When Volcano tried to raise Harper on comms again, the line was dead so they made their way back towards their lines to find answers.

Answers they’d never find and a line they’d never cross; the ground mech’s opened fire on them and tore through Shaft’s bird in seconds. Shaft’s fighter erupted into a burning fireball and crashed near the Mechs. Vixen and Volcano broke off in opposite directions after he ordered her to retreat, to where he didn’t even know. The last he saw of Vixen was her fighter being hit and going down across enemy lines. She could’ve survived, but he couldn’t help her. Volcano was being pursued.

Another air unit, one he had worked with before known as the Phantom Storm, were on his tail. He had been hit and was trailing smoke. He was at a disadvantage and he knew it. Mentally cursing himself for what he was about to do, he set his fighter to crash and ejected. The smoke covered his escape as the Phantom Storm barrelled past him towards the crash site. For reasons unknown, his wing was targeted by those he used to call allies and everything he had worked for his entire life was gone.

Moreau made it back across new enemy lines towards a space port and found there was a wanted poster for him, Janet and Cameron. They had been disavowed by Harper and used as scapegoats, whether by faulty intel or intentional betrayal, Moreau didn’t know. Though he swore he’d find out and clear his name and the name of his wing. Moreau soon learned he had a mark on him, they must’ve learned he escaped the crash. He barely escaped that planet with his life.

Now Moreau works trying to find any information he can on why he and his wing was betrayed. He constantly keeps his eyes peeled for any signs that Janet survived, but if she was smart she went to ground like he did. It’s been nearly a year since that unfortunate event, and he is no closer to learning the truth. He’s evaded several bounty hunters since then, which leads him to believe he is marked for death because of what he knows. Harper is covering his tracks and trying to cut off loose ends. Being on his own is becoming more and more dangerous, and without his wing, he doesn't have anyone who he could rely on.
