Rian Tarnis

== Biography ==
Rian Tarnis, a Human security and response specialist with civilian tactical training, spent most of his professional career dealing with situations typical police deemed too dangerous and the military below their pay grade. 
Rian attended a semester at Unter University majoring in engineering but eventually left to start a career in law enforcement: a vocation his father held in high esteem until his untimely death during a drug raid on Einov. After two years of unremarkable training and stagnation, he transitioned to the Assembly-sponsored Special Tasks and Crisis Response (STaCR).
While Rian did good work with STaCR, he never made a name for himself—until the Ubiar Invasion. With emergency services stretched thin across the Milky Way, Rian and his team were rapidly deployed across the Human frontier wherever they were needed. STaCR jumped from system to system at least weekly and were treated as no more than disposable grunts at the war's onset. However, as the conflict drew on with no end in sight and STaCR continued to emerge victorious against all odds, they drew the attention of the galaxy's elite. Public and private interests begged the task force to take on a variety of desperate missions, most of which they were forced to unfortunately deny. 
One of those interests happened to be the Horizons Initiative. Rian was hand-picked by Detir Aanoxer to lead security field operations. And while he has struggled with producing results in recent months, the officer considers his work in Andromeda just as important as STaCR's job back home.
