Current Assignment:

Commader Nobles-Stirling is currently on detached duty to Queen Carina's Most Diligent Interdiction Wing (Queen Carina's Privateers/QCP). His purpose there is to determine whether secondary assets can serve to draw the attention of the Gallic Royal Navy back to their home territory by virtue of commerce raiding and asymmetric warfare operations.

Directly after completing Command College, "Sinner" was assigned to the QCP as the Commodore's attaché. This was done to give him operational experience as well as working exposure to the theory that drives QCP's operations.

After a year of facilitating the QCP's activities, Nobles-Stirling has been given one of the Navy's black budget accounts to begin his program. The Commander was instructed to contact the Maltese and procure one of their gunboats, the logic behind this being that the Tridente has seen broad distribution outside of the Maltese military, whereas a Churchill would be instantly recognizable as Bretonian hardware.

Career History:

Midshipman - Graduated 16th of a class of 100, placing him firmly in the upper fifth. Instructors noted a penchant for "Sneaky tactics", suggesting that it would be prudent to hone this talent and to encourage Mr. Nobles-Stirling in counter-piracy operations since he seemed to have a natural talent for the work.

Sub Lieutenant- Served aboard the gunboat Boarderer as Junior Tactical Officer and as Customs Officer. Routine promotion to Lieutenant at end of tour.

Lieutenant - Served aboard the destroyer Crusader, first as Junior Tactical Officer, then as Tactical Officer. Wounded in close action when a Kusari offensive pushed into Newcastle via the Tau-31 jump hole. Nobles-Stirling had anticipated this occurrence to his Captain, but Crusader alone was insufficient to prevent the incursion. Promoted after recovering from injuries.

Lieutenant Commander - Attended Staff College, then assigned aboard Thunderer as part of the Admiral's Operations staff. In the aftermath of one of the ongoing confrontations with the Kusari, Nobles-Stirling was assigned as the Prize Master for a captured Kusari Explorer gunboat, removing it from the Area of Operations and returning it to New London.

Commander - Assigned to Command College, then to QCP. Reference Current Assignment.
