| Ambitions | Howard looks forward to his posting aboard the Yamato, which is his first command level position. He intends to leverage his time as the Chief Operations Officer to gain a position as either an executive or commanding officer aboard a similar warship.

| Personal History | Taken in its entirety, Howard’s life and career has been unremarkable. He was born into a military family and continued that legacy to the best of his ability, starting as an enlisted Marine until such a time as an opportunity for a transfer of commission presented itself. Upon joining the Imperial Navy, Howard was immediately thrust into the political machinations of a starship crew: he thwarted an assassination attempt against a lieutenant in the science department. This lieutenant eventually repaid Howard’s display by recommending him for a commissioned posting aboard another vessel. It was aboard the Olympia that Howard rose through the ranks by treachery as much as by merit. It was also aboard the Olympia that Howard met a woman as cold and calculating as he was. He and Lieutenant Daphne Walsh soon married and had a son; his wife and child remain aboard the Olympia, as she is now its Assistant Chief Medical Officer. Howard however has been offered the chance to prove himself as one of the elite of the Imperial Navy by fulfilling the role of Chief of Operations of a Galaxy-class vessel. |
