Avram Beck
==========

Beck is a former figher pilot and has stepped into his role as a squadron
commander for fleet interceptors.  Drafted in to assist on the ground, Avram's
focus is on long-range domination of the enemy.

Tight clustering of mortar and silo fire is Beck's specialty, and it is
important to position these long-range juggernauts so that they are most likely
to fire at concentrated points.  This often means covering less of the path
than would be optimal for other turrets! Clean up survivors of this
concentrated fire with drones and railguns

=================
'Brimstone' Lewis
=================

Cameron Lewis, known as Brimstone to his loyal followers, is stationed in a
colony on the flame-covered planet Lassageus.  Using his adopted homeworld as a
real-life example of hell, Brimstone preaches to his subjects about the dangers
of immorality.

In combat, Lewis likes to strike fear into the hearts of his enemies to make
them repent for their wrongdoings.  Control the enemy with support and a
well-rounded base of turrets.  Build power stations as defenses stabilize to
allow brimstone to focus on his true strength; becoming an orbital juggernaut!

==================
Dr. Elliot Markham
==================

Professor Markham is the Sol Paragon's leading theoretical scientist.  Combat
isn't his forte, but when called upon, he is a renown strategist.  Elliot's
considerable intellect makes him a formidable Executive Officers for any
commander.

Technologies that Professor Markham develops in the lab frequently find their
way into his arsenal.  Harnessing this high tech approach to combat means
thinking in layers: one layer of dense area of effect coverage, and another
layer  of precision-targeted turrets to mop up survivors.  Try using shrapnel
silos to soften up enemies beore they reach your first line of defense.

===================
Dr. Viktor Yurevich
===================

Though the Grand Consul of the Sol Paragon formally denounces Dr. Yurevich's
work, hish impact on military technology is undeniable.  A man with nearly no
ethical foundation, Viktor treats every battle like an experiment, curiously
observing the pain he inflicts upon his 'subjects.'

Dr. Yurevich's tactics center on leaving a lasting impression on the enemy.
Fill the length of the path with radiation and flamethrower turrets and use
slow goo turrets to allow the residual damage over time effects to take fulle
effect.  Viktor's orbital support is primarily damage oriented, to finish of
those 'subjects' who survive the experiment.

Freya Mortensen
===============

Freya Mortensen is a fleet weapons officer and is focused on bringing fleet
technology to the battle on the ground.  Many of her tactics are direct
adaptations of ship-to-ship warfare, and her theories are garnering respect
among the upper echelons of command.

High tech, preciese weaponry is Freya's specialty.  Railguns are capable of
smashing through shields, and drones are relentless and cost-effective.  As
Freya lacks turrets that slow enemies, it is critical to make use of her
support to assist her high damage turrets.

============
Gus MacAllum
============

Gus MacAllum is the definition of the last generation of Sol Paragon officers.
Though a bit rough around the edges, his wisdom in combat situations is
unmatched.

The strategies Gus chooses in combat reflect his reliance  on older technology.
Though his technology may be dated, Gus brings a well balanced strategy to the
field.  Most of Gus' turrets hit multiple enemies at once.  Play to his
strengths by making use of the pillbox and shotgun and machine gun turrets to
overwhelm the Ascendancy with a hail of lead.

Turrets:

Flamethrower
Cannon
Shotgun
Machine Gun
Pillbox
Anti-Air Flak

===============
Ignacio Cazorla
===============

Ignacio Cazorla has had a history of citations for bad behavior in uniform
dataing back to his days in the academy.  His approaches to combat tend to be
excessive at best and reckless at worst.

Ignacio's approaches to combat are focused on explosives and flames.  Make use
of the missile turet's concussive stun effect and the slow goo turret's spray
to pin down enemies for mortar fire.  Spacing out flamethrowers to keep
Ascendancy troops burning is critical to using Ignacio's arsenal effectively,
but be aware that lames will not penetrate an enemy's shields.

Turrets:

Flamethrower

Machine Gun
Anti-Air Flak

=====
Iksta
=====

Considered a traitor to the Ascendancy, Iksta defected to Sol Paragon to atone
for the violence she has carried out during the war.  Her knowledge of
Ascendancy technology and tactics has proven invaluable to the war effort.
Though few in the Sol Paragon fully trust Iksta, she has proven herself as a
competent ally.

Iksta offers the greatest tactical flexibility of any executive officer.  She
can shift between support-heavy and turret-heavy defensive formations by using
the mass scrap support and power station.  Iksta is capable of adapting to any
situation, but her lack of a single focused strategy can be daunting for new
commanders.

===================
Jackson LaRoque III
===================

Jackson is not technically military, but the Sol Paragon fleet has brought him
in as a civilian consultant due to his close ties to the military-industrial
complex.  As an Executive Officer, Mr. LaRoque brings the cold reality of
commercial profits to war while looking to end the conflict before it hurts his
bottom line.

Tactically speaking, Jackson's focus is on rapidly deploying turrets to the
field.  Use the mass scrap orbital support to generate mass at the expense of
energy reserves and regeneration rate.  Once turrets are deployed, enhance them
with support that improves their output temporarily and take time to mine the
enemy's path with mine support.

Shotgun
Anti-Air Flak
Shockwave Silo

=================
William Brentford
=================

A veteran of the last major war with the Ascendancy, First Sergeant Brentford
has sacrificed in a way few would understand.  Declared dead on arrival in a
military hospital amid fierce fighting on another front, Brentford was revived
with a combination of biological and cybernetic technologies.

Brentford's tactics are a true representation of modern Sol Paragon warfare.
His targeting systems are second to none, and the range booster turret that he
helped develop brings tactical diversity to other turrets.  Building tight
clusters of missile turrets supported by the range booster tower lets Brentford
do heavy damage to creeps already caught by slow goo or turbulence.
