Other: Brown's excellence in commanding gunships was quickly recognized by her instructors. The Navy, taking into consideration the eight (8) years of her training and her astonishing performance honorarily granted her a Defiant-class gunboat at her graduation for her to command. [CLASSIFIED - OF-9] The ironically named LNS-Hope was ambushed, outnumbered and outgunned by combined forces of Liberty Rogues, Outcasts and Lane Hackers. The LNS-Hope was disabled and boarded while the few surviving crewmembers were abandoning the ship. Only one (1) pod indicating signs of life was found by the search & rescue teams and brought back to West Point. By the time the passengers, and later on identified bridge officers of the LNS-Hope, were retrieved, only one (1) was still alive.
BiographySamantha was born on Planet Denver to an economically well family. Her childhood and teenage years passed by without any difficulties. Her parents were honest and kind people, providing Sam with everything a girl would need growing up. Her father's status as a respected mercenary and her mother's status as an officer of the Liberty Navy made sure that the family not only had enough credits to live nicely, but also enough to ensure Sam's proper education. Samantha was very enthusiastic about school and while she didn't make any friends along the way, as most students preferred staying away from "the nerd", as they called her, her assignments, studies and her excellence in both gave her the interest to continue, looking forward to going to a university after graduating school. That was until the loss of her father which, at the age of seventeen (17), turned Samantha's life up-side down.
She completely let go of any dreams she had about growing up, living the rest of her life planet-side and continuing her studies. Despite her mother's attempts, Samantha decided she would follow her father's desires and become a pilot herself. Less than a year after his sudden death and now at the age of eighteen (18), Sam would find herself applying to the Liberty Navy at West Point Military Academy. A girl as young as her and with no training whatsoever had very slim chances of being accepted, and yet just a few days later she would receive a positive response from West Point. She was once again excited about the future and what it would have in store for her. Her mother couldn't help but begin supporting Samantha's dreams, even though she continued to not want her daughter following her footsteps in the Navy.
She entered the Academy and begun her courses; a total of six years worth of training, after which she would be a capable pilot both in snub-craft and in capital ships operated by the Libertonian armed forces. Her instructors would quickly realize that Samantha was not suitable for face-to-face combat, barely managing to complete the basic courses. The instructors would very quickly realize that Samantha's interest lied in space combat and more specifically capital ship commanding.
The next six years of her life would go by swiftly as she alternated between the Academy during her training months, and her home at Denver during her various vacations. The courses she completed over these years were numerous, including but not limited to:
Capital ship commanding
Capital ship defensive and offensive maneuvering
Navigation and charting
Scanner and sensor operation
After her courses were completed, seeing the huge interest Samantha showed, her instructors recommended she attended to two (2) more years of advanced capital ship training. Without a second thought, Samantha accepted.
Once her training was complete, and at the age of twenty-six (26), Samantha walked out of the Academy in her newly acquired Navy uniform and headed home to a very proud mother - despite her initial disapproval. Sam wouldn't waste any time before beginning to work for the Liberty Navy and she would quickly gain respect among the ranks of it - after all there weren't many officers that had a whole eight (8) years spent in West Point before being in space.
It was found suitable by the Navy's command to decorate Samantha with the rank of Lieutenant Commander at the start of her career. [CLASSIFIED - OF-9] It was in addition decided that Samantha had shown the discipline, maturity and experience necessary in order to command her first vessel and so an older Defiant-class by the name of LNS-Hopewas put under her command. The next year of Samantha's life in the Navy earned her her crew's honor and respect, while her service aboard the LNS-Hope was beginning to be recognized by command. It had became apparent to Samantha by now, however, that despite the LNS-Hope's many successes in the field and her numerous takedowns on hostile ships, the recognition that Samantha and her ship deserved were not given to her and weren't going to as long as she remained a secondary.
[CLASSIFIED - OF-9] Her progress towards her plan of applying to a primary fleet and giving the LNS-Hope a true chance to shine would be completely halted, however. Unbeknownst to her, the Defiant-class which was under her command had spurred the interest of many a scum, all wishing to bring the ship down and avenge the number of friends she had taken down.
[CLASSIFIED - OF-9] During a regular patrol of the Tahoe Ice Cloud and on her way from San Diego Border Station to Planet California Minor, the trade-lane that the LNS-Hope had taken was disrupted by numerous hostiles. Their numbers seemed un-ending, with more showing up on the gunboat's scanners as time passed. Without wasting any time, Samantha pulled the trigger, but she would quickly realize that this wouldn't be a fight she could win. The abandon ship order was given approximately seven (7) minutes since the start of the engagement, thirty (30) seconds after the ship's engine was disabled. As per what few readings we managed to salvage from the ship's black-box, only three (3) out of thirty (30) lifeboats were launched, and only one (1) of those managed to escape the Ice Cloud without being detected by the hostile forces.
[CLASSIFIED - OF-9] The passengers of the lifeboat were the vessel's commanding officer Samantha Brown, executive officer Larry Owen, and gunnery officer Terry Brooke. The lifeless bodies of the executive and gunnery officers were extracted from the lifeboat while the injured commanding officer was transported to the nearest hospital. Samantha was in denial of the events that took place. She kept repeating that the two officers with her were alive, even though autopsy results showed that the officers had passed away before being evacuated into the lifeboat. Signs of physical trauma on the bodies indicated they could have been dragged into the escape pod.
[CLASSIFIED - OF-9] Command gave Samantha an honorary leave from the Navy for the next year with weekly evaluations of her condition being necessary. Psychiatrist Doctor Ignatio Jones was assigned to look after Samantha until he judges that her condition has normalized and she can return to a normal life-style. Samantha is required to take part in at least one (1) weekly appointment with Doctor Jones for an undefined period of time.
[CLASSIFIED - OF-9] With her condition stabilizing after the year had passed, Samantha was cleared by Doctor Jones to return to active service. Her appointment count has been reduced to one (1) per month minimum.
After the recent years of gaining even more experience in the field to back up her theoretical knowledge gained from her training, Samantha thought it was about time to join a primary fleet. Looking through her options, she made her decision and applied to the Forty-sixth (46th) Fleet, hoping to receive a similar notification like the one she did ten years ago.
Having been accepted into the Fleet, Samantha climbed through the ranks rather quickly, proving to Command that she is an effective and reliable asset to the Fleet and to the Libertonian Armed Forces. When the LNS Akhetaten was transferred to the Forty-sixth Fleet, on December 1st, 829 A.S., the Command of Forty-sixth demanded Captain Samantha Brown be placed on the LNS Akhetaten as her executive officer.
[CLASSIFIED - OF-9] This was a necessary measure in order to keep a close eye on the inner workings of the newly appointed Forty-sixth asset in order to ensure that its crew operated under the standard Fleet doctrine. However, in time, Samantha would grow to like her role aboard the LNS Akhetaten and eventually grew to truly be part of the warship's crew.
With Task Force Akhetaten being brought back into active service, Samantha would see herself becoming part of it. With the ship's flag officer and commanding officer both being busy with their own duties, Samantha's role on the warship would be solidified, as she would not only assist in matters pertaining to the LNS Akhetaten itself, but she would also fulfill High Command duties as ordered by Maria Uhmen.
[CLASSIFIED - OF-9] Samantha has been keeping her monthly appointment requirement for the last five (5) years and she has shown steady improvement in her mental and physical state. Her appointment count has been further reduced to one (1) per year minimum.
