On M4-24 429 ASB Calvin Barkley joined the Silt Fleet Defense Force (SFDF), which despite its name was just the Silt Fleet's land army.

### Shale Invasion (432 ASB - 437 ASB)

M2-09 432 ASB the Empire of Shale launched an invasion of the Silt Fleet drawing them into the Second Shale Invasion of the Soil Texture Continent. Three days into the invasion the Empire of Shale began besieging Adapool where Barkley was stationed.

On M7-08 433 ASB Calvin Barkley was given a field promotion to the rank of Captain. The promotion was given due to the deaths of many of the higher-ranking members of the SFDF and the need for officers, no measure of Barkley's skills were taken into account when the promotion was given. Despite this Barkley proved to be an efficient officer and ended up surviving the war whilst retaining his promotion.

### Adapool and War with Clayistan (437 ASB - 447 ASB)

On M4-08 447 ASB the Kingdom of Clayistan launched an invasion of the Silt Fleet. On M4-13 447 ASB Calvin Barkley took part in the Silt Fleet's invasion of the Skagalandi Peninsula. The city of Skagalandi was captured on M4-17 447 ASB, Barkley was ordered to establish a garrison in the city. On M4-22 447 ASB Barkley was ordered to choose a local to serve as the new Mayor of Skagalandi. On M4-24 447 ASB Calvin Barkley chose Sebastian Walter to serve as the city's new mayor. He chose Walter as he was a member of the Walter Family, one of the five Governate Families in the Skagalandi Governate and the only one based almost exclusively in Skagalandi.

On M6-20 447 ASB the Kingdom of Clayistan and the Silt Fleet agreed to an indefinite ceasefire with the Silt Fleet occupying a significant portion of the Kingdom of Clayistan's territory. On M6-30 447 ASB Calvin Barkley was contacted by his superiors who informed him that the bits of Clayistan they were occupying were now a part of the Independent Governate of South Bay. Sebastian Walter was made the Governor of the new country and was replaced as the Mayor of Skagalandi with Willium Trident. Barkley was told to continue to serve as the head of his garrison and was given a seat in the South Bay Management Council.

### South Bay (447 ASB - 449 ASB)

On M2-04 449 ASB Sebastian Walter was assassinated. The death of Walter triggered a constitutional crisis as the Governor of South Bay had no line of succession mapped out. Upon learning of the Governor's death Barkley contacted his superior's in the Silt Fleet who told him that news of his death could not be allowed to become public knowledge. Barkley ordered the palace to be locked down and all those who had been in the palace at the time of the assassination who had left to be rounded up. A day after the assassination Barkley was informed that a group of three people who had been with the Governor at the time of his death had been collected and were in a holding cell. Barkley ordered them to be brought to his office. When they entered his office Barkley recognized one of them as Sergeant Sludge, an Adapool based smuggler who smuggled supplies into the city during the Siege of Adapool. Barkley decided to hire Sludge to aid him in investigating the assassination of the Governor as he considered most of the members of the SFDF to be incompetent. On M2-06 449 ASB Barkley was ordered to Adapool to recount what had happened in the Silt Fleet to the Captain of the Silt Fleet Charles Smithers. Barkley ordered his aide Markum Shafto to run the garrison whilst he was gone.

Barkley had expected to be gone from Skagalandi no more than two days, but the Captain never seemed to be available as he was always either busy with other work or at his away home in Altamy. It was only on M2-24 449 ASB that Barkley managed to meet with the Captain and even then the meeting was cut short by Smithers deciding to go to bed early. Barkley decided that he had had enough and set off back to Skagalandi, he told his superiors that Captain Smithers had named him the Acting Governor of South Bay until a proper successor was chosen. He figured they'd have no way of knowing that he was not given the title.

Barkley arrived back in Skagalandi a day after he departed Adapool. During his first day back he had Ryan Hicks and Angus Bile removed from the garrison and sent to Adapool to be reevaluated as both of them had run from duty when the Governor of Skagalandi was assassinated.

On M3-01 449 ASB Barkley left Skagalandi for the town of Uvat to attend a meeting with the other members of the South Bay Management Council to determine who the new governor of Skagalandi Should be. Once again Barkley left Shafto in charge of his duties as he expected to return in no more than two days.

The meeting was held at the estate of fellow council member Wale Transom, who was more infamously known as the Butcher of Horloge. The meeting that Barkley had come to attended never happened as his fellow councilmen were too busy dining, riding and sporting to actually have a meeting. On M3-05 449 ASB South Bay was invaded by the Kingdom of Clayistan and the Clay Loam Empire, Skagalandi was among the first cities captured. Barkley attempted to rally his fellow garrison leaders to get back to South Bay quick enough to put up a proper defense but none were interested.

On M3-15 449 ASB Barkley resigned from his position in the SFDF.

### Civilian life (449 ASB - TBD)

On M8-23 449 ASB Calvin Barkley was hired to serve as the Silt Fleet ambassador to the Annaractine Republic.
