759-776 A.S. - Leroy 'Jethro' Gibbs was born to parents Jackson and Ann Gibbs in 759 A.S. in a remote colony named 'Stillwater' colony on Planet Erie, Pennsylvania.

Even from a young age 'Jethro' was extreemely driven, heavily opinionated and truly stubborn; ranging from topics such as his personal pride or even the merits of service to ones house.

'Jethro' raced through his schooling as quickly as possible so he may best serve his house and be the best he can, this saw him sacrificing relationships and his development with his father.

Some say his extreeme focus on his future and service was his way out, his distraction from the troubles at home, with his mother leaving and her eventual death, a gap was formed between father and son, a gap which was not to be repaired for years to come.

777 A.S. - 'Jethro' enlisted in the Liberty Navy at age 18, a decision which shaped his future and distanced himself from his father for nearly 30 years.


After completing initial training, 'Jethro' followed the path of a Space Marine, as any war is not won without boots on the ground.

778-783 A.S. - After completing his training as a Space Marine, and specialising as a Military Policeman (MP), Gibbs, as he had been aptly named in typical military fasion, maintained order aboard the LNS-Nevada, an Enterprise Class Assault Carrier.

After spending 5 years on a rotational shift on this ship, investigating petty crimes and the like, he wished to pursue a different avenue of his military career.

783-784 A.S. - 'Jethro' married his wife, Shannon to which they became parents the very next year in 784 A.S. to daughter Kelly.

784 A.S. - Not long after alerting his supervisor to a desire to shift roles, Gibbs was selected as a long range reconnaisance operator, due to his unique skillset as an investigator and his crack shot.


Gibbs was posted to a long range scout and special operations vessel; The LNS-Guadacanal - a Defiant-class gunboat outfitted to penetrate deep into Rheinland space and drop special operatives on Planets and stations to gather intelligence or carry out black operations.

Gibbs served with distinction over the next 16 years of his career, with several succesful tours, several lost friends and an event which would change his life forever.

792 A.S. - Tradgedy struck Gibbs in the one place he was weak, family. Gibbs lost his daughter and wife whilst on operations. This was all as a result of a cowardly Outcast smuggler who believed his operation was compromised, the witness was Shannon, Gibbs' wife.

Gibbs was returned from active duty and was awarded some weeks of compassionate leave for his loss. In a bloodstriken rage he took it upon himself to hire out a mercenary to deliver him to Planet malta where he was to exact his revenge in a vigilante fashion.

800 A.S. - Gibbs held on to the Navy for another 8 years, as it was the only family he had left. He eventually succumbed to the pressures of his loss and pursued an alternative career.

801 A.S. - Gibbs returned to his roots and joined the LPI under a special investigations department where he continued to serve Liberty for another 18 years by investigating crimes involving military personell.

819 A.S. - Gibbs retired from this line of work and purchased his own ship, a rusty old Uruz which he restored and operated as a freelance trader and supply vessel. He named the vessel after his late daughter - The.Kelly

820 A.S. - Gibbs, throughout his journeys, had many encounters with the IMG and was again, looking for a 'family' to fill his void, he believed he had found it this fateful day on Freeport 4.

Secondary Information:

IMG Goals: Other than the obvious of being mainstream Miners and a guild of tradesmen sick of being under the control of political corporate heads? I believe the IMG aims to create an equal society based on mutual respect and hard work. They value any neutrality but will fight for their rights and have done so in the past. The IMG is a lot like a good street of neighbours, each one is willing to do a favour for another, as they are all in this world together and are all equals.

Some key values to quantify the IMG:
> Honour
> Loyalty
> Professionalism
> Teamwork

I believe I can contribute my years of experience as well as an unrelenting drive for any that I call my 'family'. I can offer my services in my older state as an experienced transport ship captain as well as return to combat duties should duty call.

My reasons for joining the IMG are simple, much like myself. I lost all the family I held dear to me, I wish to once again be a part of something big, to make a difference, and to fight for what is right. I believe that I would be best suited to a transport department role at this time.
