Tim Malor

Tim Malor was one of the most influential people of the Old Universe, completing shaping the course of history and billions of lives. He served on both sides of the war, centuries apart, and was a model for future leaders of the galaxy.

### Biography

Tim Malor was born in the 1st district of NESA in the year 2173 to Jim Malor and Rili Ayda. Both of his parents held important roles in society and so didn't have too much time to spend with Tim as he grew up. Jim was the Junior Deputy Director of Terpinetine Industries at the time while his mother was one of the engineers in the growing weapons department of Terpinetine.

In 2189 at 16, Tim Malor would join Terpinetine Industries just like his father had done almost thirty years ago. He wanted to make a difference just like he had done and was seated in a spot in the space department. He would train for several years before taking off in 2191, onboard the ‘Penumbra’ on its voyage to test the limits of the new spacecraft being designed back on Earth.

The ship would make several stops before its true mission began. First would be the moon where a traitor would end up causing complications yet Tim would solve the panic by capturing him and fixing everything. Unfortunately, on a ride from his apartment to the main exploration complex on Earth, Jim would lose control of his vehicle and it would spiral out of control, plummeting downward into the streets below. It would be hard for Tim to continue but he had to. Next would be a stop on Mars, to pick up more passengers and drop off cargo. Finally, they would leave the Solar System entirely to make contact with another vessel ahead of them that they had lost contact with.

As they neared the next vessel a year later in 2192, they discovered pure debris, the ship had been blown to pieces long before they got there. Soon after, they were ambushed by a completely unknown set of ships, clearly made by a much more technologically superior race. The ship would be shot down within seconds and as the escape pods launched, Tim crashed into the hangar of one of the enemy ships. As he had now risen to be captain of the ship, and a good one at that too, they captured him and froze him so that they could take him back to their main ship. Luckily before they were able to do so, however, one of the chunks of the now blown-up Penumbra crashed into the ship, sending it crashing into one of the nearby planets, with a frozen Tim Malor still inside the ship.

There, he would remain for over 250 years, frozen in ice. In the middle of 2462, a TYLO ship patrolling near the outer colonies happened upon a planet to start some mining operations. As it landed, the censors indicated a crashed ship nearby and the captain thought it was worth checking out. When the search team finally arrived at the ship, they immediately called the Captain to their position. They had just found the remains of CB and Terpinetine ships dating to the late 2100s. And one of the things they found inside the CB ship was the cryo room, still relatively intact. And at the center of the room stood a pod, with its systems still somehow operating. It contained the frozen body of Tim Malor, trapped for more than 250 years. This discovery was soon brought to TYLO high command and they thought releasing him with a bit of mind-washing would make him an excellent asset to their cause. Within the next months a program was initiated to make Malor an officer for one of their ships and through a series of missions they would see if he was a waste of time or not.

After several operations, making him more cyborg than man, he set off on his orders, with high TYLO doubt. However through mission after mission Tim Malor showed no mercy for his old allies as his name grew as a ruthless officer. And soon, TYLO high command determined he was fit enough for a position in the government himself. This didn't last long though as in a seek for greater power he would kill the rest of the command in one spot, and making himself the sole ruler of TYLO. And after a while, he renamed the faction to TYSO.

And with his cunning tactics and power, he managed to do what no other faction had done before him, defeat Terpinetine. Through his over century-long rule, he took over all outer colonies, invaded the solar system, and destroyed the Capitol building on Mars. And through all of this, small rebel groups comprised of former Terpinetine soldiers and civilians still remained, doing everything they could to keep the good alive. Soon though everything would change.

In 2572 the Big Crunch would begin. This was the event that destroyed the old universe. However decades before TYSO scientists had created Universe-hopping ships, designed specifically for an event like this. Soon thousands of ships were on their way to leave the Old universe for a safer place. The journey however would take over 200 years, even traveling with a Celer-Light Hyperdrive.

Upon entering the new universe in 0 A.A., TYSO intelligence would report spotting New Terpinetine ships in the area. One of the first battles of New Universe regarding Tim Malor would soon begin [First Battle of Heroscotia] which would end soon in a stalemate. As the years went on TYSO seemed to be on the decline. And the TYMO revolution of 9 A.A. wouldn't help matters. By 12 A.A. TYMO had allied up with Terpinetine against TYSO and the tide of the infinite-seeming conflict was turning in favor of Terpinetine. Tim had predicted a situation just like this and decided their best chance was to take down TYMO before it overpowered TYSO and so in 15 A.A. Tim would send a fleet of ships to launch a surprise attack on TYMO, destroying most of it's vehicles and killing many soldiers. The remains of TYMO would then dissolve and join Terpinetine.

More and more battles would soon come in favor of Terpinetine and in 17 A.A., The Final Battle would begin. In this one battle alone, nearly 10,000 ships on both sides were involved. Though Tim had a tactical advantage by the beginning of the battle, it soon devolved into chaos as a Terpinetine Cruiser would collide with the bridge of a Large Ship, yet in this bridge was Tim Malor, commanding the attacks. As soon as the ship collided Tim and the entire rest of the Command were killed instantly. Afterward, scrambling TYSO forces would be separated and cut up, resulting in a Terpinetine victory.
