Calhoun

Calhoun is the commander of the 9th Strike Force and a founder of the parent faction League of Australian Shitposters. Despite being "slightly less than sane", Calhoun is recognised as being an excellent leader and systems designer.
== History ==
Prior to 2316, Calhoun was believed to operate in the "universe next door", with intermittent contact with the Outlands. After the death of his home universe, Calhoun migrated permanently into the Outland universe.
Calhoun formed the Vigilance Star Fleet in early 2316 to observe and form ties with the older Outlands factions, and lead a relatively peaceful existence in the NFDB cluster. Calhoun used this time to experiment with Outlands technology, but found his Vortex-class was hugely outmassed by most faction warships. 
In mid 2317, Calhoun finalised the base frame of the Verdict-class gunship. While the ship would be constantly overhauled, eventually resulting in the -D variant, the base hull and role would remain constant. 
Impressed by the Verdict's capabilities, Jake Lancia invited Calhoun to join Trident Foundries. Despite initially refusing due to valuing his neutral standing, Calhoun eventually agreed on the condition he be classed as an associate member and be able to virtually ignore Trident's chain of command. While Calhoun did provide valuable assistance with several projects, clashes with other members and frustration at a lack of activity resulted in Calhoun leaving Trident after four months. Despite this, Calhoun remains on good terms with most Trident members.
Following the events of the Red Uprising, Calhoun formed the League of Australian Shitposters alongside RedAlert. Around this time Calhoun opened Calhoun's Bar and Grill in the CBS cluster.
Following months of low activity, Calhoun would begin deployment into the LvD cluster. Fed up with the intricacies and webs of intergalactic diplomacy, Calhoun formed the 9th Strike Force as a completely neutral mercenary group under his command. While the 9th is connected to the LAS, the 9th operates following Calhoun's prerogative diplomatically, much to the frustration of the League's diplomat, Redalert. Category:Players
