Octavia Leptis

Born the child of a minor noble in 2155, Octavia was not necessarily in a position for greatness from her birth. However, it would take more than birth to stop an ambitious lass such as herself. So she enlisted in the military, allowing herself to be put into the corps of noble officers where she would prove herself knowing, rising up the command structure. She found a knack for ground tactics and ate up military theory, especially as technology advanced and led the way for new theoretical debates on space naval warfare. She loved these theoretical debates and her passion in the staff made her notable among the noble officers.

She soon became politically active as the Empire prepared for its first interstellar voyages. She decided to get together with a couple other noble generals and form the Society of the Hawk, a group that would lobby the Diet and Emperor in order to protect the military’s interests. She is a firm believer in intergalactic realpolitik, believing that in the event of contact with other empires, the Empire should pursue advantage and necessity over principle regarding the xeno debates. She favors military expansion and wants the Empire to put itself into the best defensive position it is able to, passing the next generation of Hawks a strong position to lobby from.
