Sovereign (S921/OV)

## Biography

Sovereign is an *S-Type* model of the Synth Free Nations. Originally activated as a *Personality Backup Module* for *Omicron (O45/MI),* when she was injured during a mission on the U.S.S. Republic, Sovereign was to serve as nothing more then a way to store Omicron's vast conciousness and intended to have no personality of his own, acting as a storage unit.

However, during his time working on the U.S.S. Republic and U.S.S. Normandy (NCC-61944-A), Sovereign began to display his own distinct personality, despite having a limited emotional range. As a result of this *President Aaru Dedef’ti* declared Sovereign as a sentient being and allowed him to develop his own identity, eventually replacing Avalon Tao as Chief of Staff.

During his time serving as an exchange officer on the U.S.S. Republic, Sovereign encountered a strange *cloud creature* that embued him with his own sentient personality, despite originally being used as a back up memory storage unit for former First Officer, *Omicron*.

After this event, Sovereign began to evolve his personality throughout 2421, going from the wide-eyed innocence of a child to a combative teenager within the span of a few months despite retaining all his knowledge and skills.

In December 2421, following the collapse of the United Commonwealth of Planets, Soverign formed the Colonial Defence Force with former Commonwealth Sky Marshal Leogryn Romeli who he had come to respect as a father figure and assumed command of the U.S.S. Thunderchild, a support vessel to the U.S.S. Normandy (NCC-61944-A).

Sovereign took the apparent destruction of the Normandy in 2427 by the Aventis Empire over Exorna Regalis extremely harshly, launching himself into a guerilla campaign against the Empire rather than staying to protect the Rothian convoy as Leo had ordered him to do.

As a result of this action, the convoy was undefended and was easily hunted down by the Aventis Empire while attempting to flee Aventis space, with only 5 ships escaping as the Rothian Magnificent Class *R.S.S. Glory* sacrificed itself to allow the fleet to escape.

During this time, Sovereign abandoned the damaged U.S.S. Thunderchild and attemped to infiltrate Aventis (Aventis II) alone to assassinate Empress Celia MacLowan himself in revenge for the death of Admiral Romeli. He managed to get to the throne room in *Shattershield* while the Aventis were celebrating their total victory over the Rothian Union.

With the help of *House Rumania*, who blamed Celia for the death of the rightful Emperor, Sovereign was able to make it past Aventis security and challenged the Empress to a ritual duel, using his knowledge of Aventis culture to give him the oppotunity for vengeance. However the Empress proved to be more skillful due to Sovereign's rage and he was quickly beheaded.

As a further humiliation, the Aventis sent both Sovereign's head and body back to the crippled *Thunderchild*, who was allowed to leave Aventis space without being destroyed as Celia believed that without Sovereign, the one ship was no longer a threat. As a result the crew managed to rebuild Sovereign, using some salvaged Synth parts and restore him to life after his humiliating defeat.
