Sileze Kidiaba

Captain Sileze Kidiaba is an Irini naval captain and the chairman of the Human Coalition. 
== Early Life ==
Kidiaba was born in Mbuji-Mayi on Earth in 2987 to a middle-class merchant family. His family relocated to Velure in 2990 and he was to live there for most of his life. 
Kidiaba joined the naval service at the recommendation of his friends, and became a junior officer aboard the ISS Salisbury in the Irin Navy. He rose up the ranks during the Second Irin-Velconum War, witnessing action at Tel Khanan and Uriust. In 3014, soon after the Hierarchy invasion, he was promoted to Captain and given commission of the NAS Tasmania. 
In response to the Sai'Gan's policies of military rule and the publicised challenge of NA's authority by Val Svefer Zemuk, Kidiaba began secret negotiations with Velconi dissidents to form the Human Coalition, a powerful voice for officers protesting and working to dismantle the union of New Atlantis. 
== Personality ==
Kidiaba is devoted to peace and cooperation between the Irin Republic and the Velconum Empire. He is a patriot who looks up to Irini war heroes like Shafi Zemuk yet believes that there is always a nonviolent approach to solving conflict. He is deeply dismayed with the tyrannic behaviour of New Atlantis and views the union as destructive to both the Velconi and Irini. 
== Trivia ==
* In many ways, Kidiaba is an Irini counterpart of Escaan, a ruthless Velconi revolutionary who views violence and military supremacy as the only route to peace
