== Biography ==
Joubert's career was meteorical, rising from the rank of Lieutenant to Captain in barely four years and becoming, at age thirty-one, chief of staff to Admiral Javier Giscard when the latter was given command of Twelfth Fleet.
Giscard suspected that Joubert was an informer for the Office of State Security planted to spy on him, a belief which found support in the junior officer's extremely fast career, in the insistence with which People's Commissioner Eloise Pritchart pressed for his appointment as chief of staff, and in Joubert having the support of senior StateSec officers.
These beliefs made Joubert suspicious in both Giscard and Pritchart's eyes, because they feared that the captain would report on them (and their illicit relationship) to StateSec. However, they found a chance to neutralize Joubert's potential threat by assigning him to command PNS Shaldon, whose captain unexpectedly died from a heart attack during Operation Icarus. ()
