Ron Porter

Ron Porter was Havenite citizen and an officer of the People's Navy.
== Biography ==
Holding the rank of Rear Admiral, Porter was second in command of Task Force 12.3 under Rear Admiral Jane Kellet when the task force attacked Hancock Station as part of Operation Icarus.
His incompetence during the Second Battle of Hancock resulted in the almost total destruction of the task force. Although it had been badly hurt, the task force was retiring in good order. After the death of Commissioner Addison and Captain Hall, Porter panicked, ordering his forces to scatter. This allowed HMS Minotaur's light attack craft to pick off the enemy ships one by one. Only 6 battleships and 1 heavy cruiser escaped.
Because of his strong connections with the Office of State Security the People's Navy Board of Inquiry didn't find the late Rear Admiral Porter responsible for the disaster. ()
