The CMDR is a Federation patriot and loyalist of President Hudson. He is also known to be an anti-slavery zealot, a fierce champion of freedom and democracy and a stalwart opponent of despots and slavers.

After a stint as head of recruiting for the Hudson Power he retired from Power politics and now works behind the scenes. The CMDR is a member of the Omega Corps [OHMS], an elite Federation team based on the fringes of the human Bubble. Their area of operations is close by several Imperial factions, but far from any Federal support.

The CMDR also chairs the Citizens' Committee to Combat Piracy (CCCP) a public advocacy group with ties to people alleged to be terrorists in Imperial circles. Such rumors are dismissed by Federal authorities as Empire slander on civic minded patriots. The Commander himself refuses comment on the allegations.
