Capum Ralon

**Sur’Kesh Milanin Dek Twami Capum Ralon** is the CRC Wing Commander and Task Force 30 Operative.

## Biography

From a very young Ralon would tinker with electronics because he enjoyed seeing why things worked and what he could do to make them better and more efficient. His favourite thing to take apart any small mechanical parts of his toys. He even took apart a strangers datapad when he was bored at a kiosk on Sur’Kesh much to the annoyance of its owner.

Ralon proceeded to graduate from university at the very young age of 12, even by salarian standards this was very rare and his grades were that of some of the best of the class. His age however, did have a knock on effect as most perceived him as out of his depth, especially when it came to his academics. After he graduated from university Ralon wasn’t very sure what to do with himself, so he spent his days between the ages of 12 and 14 on the Sur’Kesh landing bays asking pilots questions about their crafts and what they flew. Many scoffed away his interest, thinking that such a young salarian could not know anything about the intricacies of a shuttle. However, some would gladly answer and keep Ralon occupied for hours upon hours. This helped Ralon choose what path he wanted to take in life so he proceeded to join the salarian armed forces as an engineer. At the age of 14, he went through basic training. During this time he proved his aptitude for engineering and went on to training to specialise in this field. During his time here he created his own version of the combat drone calling it the combat initiative or CID, this drone had all the abilities of a basic combat whilst still proving itself to be a tactical advantage in the field, but due to Ralon’s very young age, and so little view of combat this was viewed as incredibly impressive by all. The raw data the drone presented to the owner allowed for swift and accurate action against forces in the field.

Even during this set of training his superiors saw his interest in shuttles and gunships that were housed at the facility he was stationed at. They proceeded to see where this interest would go and decided to send him for pilot training at the age of 15, due to his questions at a younger age he was surprisingly steadfast at learning the controls at his natural ability with mechanics showed through giving him the ability to fly even something as complex as a gunship early on in his military career. After completing his training, Ralon would continue to tinker with shuttles and his personal gunship. So, that they were always prepped and ready to fly some modifications that were not standard were ever present on his gunship. Personal modifications to it include: a replacement set of weaponry instead of the M350 he uses a salarian set of SHVIMAC (Self-emitting High Velocity) or shevi mass accelerated canons, these are high RoF nose mounted quad set machine guns highly effective against infantry. Inferno PKRs (Precision Kill Rockets) with a slight localised EMP effect to them. So, the location of a hit can cause an EMP effect to systems in the impacts close vicinity highly effective against armour however they are incredibly hard to use as they are fire and forget rockets. After several exemplary combat missions, Ralon gained the attention of STG at the moment they also happen to need those willing to be combat engineers and pilots. Ralon being adept at both, bounded at the opportunity to excel himself and he liked the fact he would be working with competent people for once.

STG training for Ralon included advanced firearms training as well as close quarters combat training making him deadly both with and without a firearm. In addition to this, Ralon has also had survival training for extreme arid, cold and jungle environments. Ralon’s most notable mission was on the planet **REDACTED** under the command of **CLASSIFIED** where he proved himself capable of weighing risks to that of willing men and the mission at hand. Ralon proceeded to do a danger close run to cover the extraction of operative **REMOVED**, even under fire from the enemy Ralon made sure that all made it out of the area. However, two ground operatives were wounded by his run and later died due to their wound, this burden clearly laid heavily upon Ralon and his future engagements with mercenary and terrorist organisation Ralon could be heard giving no sympathy to anybody and even some enjoyment when engaging hostiles. One mission that always stuck in Ralons’ mind however, was the transportation of a salarian created AI by the name of ‘Castle’ who was housed in a geth platform. Ralon never knew what occurred on these missions. However, he had a feeling it was of high importance if they were sending AI instead of STG field operatives.

Ralon also, liked to spend most of his shore leave on the citadel due to the mechanical beauty that it was. This made him come into contact with a variety of species which he mainly did not care for or even know that well. However, during one day where he was relaxing in a bar a human approached Ralon he was already a few drinking down so instead of waving him away he just grumbled at his presence near him. During the inconvenient time that Ralon spent with the unknown human he was showed the music of humans and proceeded to actually like a lot of what they called ‘Rock n’ Roll’. As he listened to it more he found that it offered him relaxation during down time and focus during the time he spent fixing shuttles and gunships. When GUARDIAN split from Council operations Ralon went AWOL and stayed at his post. From here he was officially stripped from STG records with a K.O.S statement attached to himself for all salarian operatives. During his time in GUARDIAN and a mole in STG that flew under the radar he was able to disappear as the paramilitary organisation no longer stood for what he believed in. With his affiliations stripped and a kill order on his head the salarian began a proxy war with the Terminus fighting his own war. He managed to scrape together his own band through discrete channels that raided high profile Hegemony supply and defence convoys. As the Council began to step into gear against the Hegemony, Ralon began to cycle back operations as a precautionary measure but word had spread that a distinguished salarian had brought together some young pilots in the Terminus system. It took sometime for the CRC to gain his attention more due to his outlook of the Council at the time he took what others could easily believe to be a leap of faith and dove deeper. However, for himself this was more to register back into the good books of those back on Sur'Kesh more than anything else.

## Personality

Ralon has an exceptional mind when it comes to engineering and mechanics and he knows it. He will also often correct people on the matters and this can lead to very heated debates on it; where he is never one to back down. He is also an incredibly determined individual, that will complete his mission at any cost, even putting his own life on the line to make sure that the mission is completed this trait was imprinted upon him by his CO and demonstrated during his time serving in GUARDIAN However, he will berate and scold those that fall out of line and endanger himself or the group through needless actions. Due to Ralon’s aptitude for engineering he is always tinkering with shuttles and gunships even if he wasn’t the owner of the vehicle. He had always liked to find out how things work and how to perfect their mechanics; as well as always wanting to keep his hands busy. Through his extensive combat performances, Ralon has become accustomed to staying calm and collected in most situations. However, he thrives in scenarios that require a high amount of tactics and maneuver warfare.With his background Ralon believes himself and authoritative figure. This can lead to some individuals initially thinking he is full of himself and very uptight.

Ralon has developed through the years from a stringent command structure. Whilst he is not so one way unlike his time in GUARDIAN and discusses actions with others however, he still views it better coming from top brass than those under him. When it comes to orders outside the battlefield. Even when in the battlefield however, he always looks at the bigger picture and how his orders impact everything as a whole. In the STG he rarely worked in large groups due to the need to be quick and silent. Because of this Ralon finds it incredibly hard to work in large groups unless they clearly have years of cohesion and instead prefers to stay in small sub-groups where he works with one or two people. Ralon is constantly attempting to keep fit, like the mechanics of a shuttle when everything is at peak efficiency then everything works perfectly. So, if everything within him is working at their best then he himself is at his best. From his time in the military he expects respect from those of lower ranks and for them to follow the chain of command. If respect isn’t shown he reports to the CO and informs them of disobedience and uses his stature as part of the STG to get his way.
