1976-Removed from flight status
Details before Earth: Dave was hatched on the Year of our leader October 25th, 1963 as an only child of Kaleb-Har. When Dave was six years of age, his father, a Shuttle aviator was shot down on a mission in Spartec on the Eve of Ramalon, and is considered MIA (Missing in Action) since then.
When Dave turned 16 he and a friend traveled secretly to Spartec in hope to find his father. He returned without success. In Spartec he fell in love with a girl, Cindie. She was killed before his eyes.
Dave decided to step in his father's footsteps and joined the Sirian Military. Dave. Is a graduate of the Sirian Military Academy, upon his commissioning he qualified for flight training? Dave excelled as a shuttle pilot.
Dave Proved many time he was a loyal Sirian. Many battles did help win for his leader. Many worlds he helped gain for his Leader. Dave was cited many time for his role in battles and special operations.
He was later stationed on a Mother Ship. After a year onboard, Dave crashed his shuttle in the Hanger bay; his Gunner did not survive the crash. Night blindness was the diagnosis and he cleared of any fault in the accident. But he was still removed from flight status. Dave spent a few months with his paternal Elders on Sirius IV.
After a time with his Elders Dave decided to become a law specialist. Between wars Dave attended Sirian law school and was transferred to the Leader’s I.G.C. (Inspector General Corps). After showing the same passion for law has he had as a pilot.
During his time with I.G. he found out that his father had survived at Spartec, but died years ago in Tuka, where he had lived with a Tukan family. Dave traveled to Tuka and learned about and got to know his half-brother Skratch.
After getting back home Dave was attached to a special court that was taking care of disloyal Sirians. Rumors had starting going around about a plan the Leader was putting together. These rumors had started even before Dave left for Tuka.
The Supreme Leader was putting forth a task force to take control of a planet in the SOL system. Seemed the leader was very intent on getting this planet. Some members of the I.G.C. were sent to Monercerous, A huge staging area of 50 Mother Ships. Dave was not sent to Monercerous till after the fleet had departed for Earth.
After the Sirian people were officially told what the Leader had in mind, there were out breaks of disloyalty towards the leader. Most of the population agreed what the Leader had devised was the proper action. But then there were others who did not.
When Dave and his former partner, Ensign Stuffers investigated on a Mother Ship that reported back to Monercerous, his skills as a pilot were needed; on a mission the Pilot of the shuttle they were on was shot and injured and Harm, the co-pilot, had to land the shuttle. He made it and gained his flight status back. He also earned the Distinguished Flying Cross by the Leader.
Dave was sent to Earth on Squadron Commander Pamela’s Mother Ship. Supreme Commander John was having a difficult time with the Terrans. Seems his true nature of his mission had been found out by the Earthlings and were defending their planet rather well. They even managed to deface him on a National broadcast.
Additional details: Dave has had three I.G. partners during his time in the Inspector General Corps. Commander Detrick, Ensign Meg, and Lieutenant (j.g.) Stuffers.
Hail: Ambassador

Reckless Piloting. Unnecessary Killing,
Details before Earth: Jim was hatched on Sirius IV at Sirian Hive Farm 17. His parents spoiled him and he lived eighteen years in a very sheltered environment. Jim's parents always put what Jim wanted over just about anything else.
By nature, he was a happy, thoughtful child, eager to please. By form, he became still a happy, thoughtful man, still eager to please, but he had become so accustomed to people liking him that he would bend over backwards to please them. At conflict with this, or perhaps complimenting it, was the fact that Jim is extremely strong willed and never takes 'no' for an answer. Also by nature, he is something of a risk taker and often would do reckless things for the sheer joy of it. He has broken countless bones and injured several animals with his reckless riding. When he was sixteen, he promptly was involved in several shuttlecraft accidents, all of which Jim was found to be at fault for, on charges of reckless piloting. His flight status was revoked not two months after having it.
From his recklessness, Jim took up a new hobby - theft. What a thrill it was to him, to see if he could pocket an item before anyone would notice it. Of course the items in question always found their way back to the original owner, but not after the owner had noticed that the missing item was just that, missing. Jim lived this way for eighteen years and finally his parents, having put in the mandatory eighteen years, informed him that it was time he sought a calling beyond riding animals. Jim agreed and so it was that she went off to Sirian Military Academy. It appealed to his recklessness.
Chambers stayed in the Academy and deftly avoided theft charges with his personality. After all, Jim has the charm of a handsome child or a lost puppy and it is impossible to be mad at a handsome child or a lost puppy for long. Jim was such a good guy, a smart guy and besides, there was never really any evidence to pin any charges on him. No one really wanted to put any charges on him. Sure, no one likes a barracks thief, but the items always wound up with their owner.
With out fail. Chambers never kept anything not his own. Very few could ever find cause to not like him, and consequently, people protected him. And he protected them. Jim is a phenomenal Shock trooper and consequently his unit sent him off for additional training. He is Airborne qualified, Air Combat Qualified and a Tracker. He took care of his people both on the battlefield and off. He licked the hands that fed him.
Chambers has a very strait forward atituide. He loves the Military, and it is what he loves doing. He is always training, to improve his mind and his skills. He is a very strong willed person. It is not easy for him to fall into mind games.
The Supreme Leader was putting forth a task force to take control of a planet in the SOL system. Seemed the leader was very intent on getting this planet. Some members of the I.G.C. were sent to Monercerous, A huge staging area of 50 Mother Ships. Dave was not sent to Monercerous till after the fleet had departed for Earth.
Monercerous became a huge staging area. Jim ended up on a Mothership heading for the SOL system. Half way there the Supreme Leader Told his people on Sirius IV the truth behind the task force to Earth. Meantime the Fleet of 50 ships were also told of their objectives. So the Fifth Column came to be.
