Biography

Aden was born in 786 A.S. on planet Houston to a modest family of veterans. Growing up on planet Houston, life was good. His father and mother, both of whom served in the Liberty Navy, were dedicated parents who strived to give Aden and themselves the best life they could afford. They were the typical Libertonian working-class family, honest and patriotic. Growing up, he would listen to the stories of his parent's service in the Navy, particularly his father, a fighter pilot. He always wanted to follow in his father's footsteps, so in 804 A.S., shortly after turning eighteen, he applied and was accepted into West Point Academy.

In 806 A.S., Tanner graduated from West Point Academy with the rank of Ensign and was stationed aboard the LNS-Texas. He would serve with the ship's fighter squadron for ten years. As a pilot, he would receive multiple promotions along with a prominent scar down his right cheek from a piece of shrapnel that blew through his cockpit.

In 816 A.S., Tanner is promoted to Commander and reassigned as a basic flight instructor at West Point, where he will serve for the next four years. When promoted to Captain in 820 A.S., he requests reassignment to the Second fleet and is given command of the LNS-Ranger, an Interdictor class Battlecruiser.

In 827 A.S., Tanner is recruited into the "Forty-sixth Strike Force." He is later given a field promotion from Captain to Vice Admiral on the orders of Fleet Admiral James Horatio Creed. Newly promoted, Tanner's first official action is to take command of the LNS-Texas as his flagship.

In 829 A.S., Tanner is promoted to Admiral, making him one of the youngest four-star Admirals in Navy history, at only forty-three years of age. Admiral Tanner currently serves as the Forty-sixth Fleet's Executive Officer and the Commanding Officer of the LNS-Texas.

The LNS-Texas was laid down at Norfolk shipyard in July of 780 A.S. and would take just over two years to reach completion. She was commissioned in September of 782 A.S. Her intended purpose was to project naval power along the borders of Liberty. This mission would see her entering the interior systems only for crew rotations, resupplies, and standard maintenance. In the years following her commissioning, she would perform her standard patrol duties across Liberty's border regions as intended. However, in 792 A.S., she was temporarily reassigned to bolster defenses at the Bering jump gate while her sister ship, the LNS-Rio Grande, would be engaged in the Hudson system. For the next eight years following the Hudson campaign, Texas would perform her intended role uninterrupted, maintaining order and power projection in Liberty's frontier regions.

Following the Nomad War of 801 A.S., Texas would undertake her first significant maintenance overhaul at Norfolk Shipyard before returning to her standard patrol duties the following year. In 806 A.S., then Ensign Aden Tanner would serve aboard Texas as a combat pilot with the ship's Defender fighter wing; this would be his first posting. Ensign Tanner would serve with distinction aboard Texas for ten years, earning the rank of Commander before being reassigned in 816 A.S... Texas would continue her standard patrol duties for another ten years following Tanner's reassignment, but her steadfast presence on the frontier never wavered. During 802 to 826 A.S., Texas and her fighter wing would see many skirmishes with Xeno and Liberty Rogue forces in the frontier regions. These skirmishes would earn the ship, its pilots, and crew countless awards for bravery, heroism, and skill under fire.

In 827 A.S., Texas was again moored at Norfolk Shipyard for her second major maintenance overhaul. Even pushing fifty years of active service, she was not to be decommissioned. However, her command staff, fighter squadron, and the entire crew were reassigned to different postings. Due to recent budgetary cuts, she was to be removed from frontline duty and handed over to the Second fleet reserves. At around this time, however, Vice Admiral Aden Tanner of the Forty-sixth Strike Force got wind of Texas's fate and requested she be reassigned as his flagship. Having cut his naval teeth aboard Texas, he was determined to see her returned to her former glory.

In 828 A.S., the Forty-sixth was re-designated from a mere strike force into a fully-numbered fleet, and thus, many of its capital ships would undergo further modernization. One year later, in 829, A.S., the now Admiral Aden Tanner, Executive Officer of the Forty-sixth Fleet, would oversee the complete modernization of the LNS-Texas at Norfolk Shipyard. These latest upgrades would bring her systems in line with the current state of the art (Mitchell-class), cementing her place among the most powerful warships in the Liberty Navy.
