High Admiral Prescott Cole is a hero from the Velutarian War and was responsible for many new tactics the Stoinians used against the Velutarians. He also created the Cole Protocol, which ensured that the location of Stoinia and their technology wouldn't get in enemy hands. Early Life Prescott Cole was born as the youngest of 10 in a mixed family on Corillia. Regardless these mixed marriages were common on city planets, especially on Corillia. His family was of middle class and gained a lot of respect for their hard work. When it was time for him to go to college like all his siblings before him, he wasn't sure where to go to. But when he visited a recruitment office, he was convinced to join the military. And went for East Point. Military Career Because he hadn't been in a perfect condition initial training was hard, but eventually he persevered. He became a ship pilot and after 3 years he got his post, HMS Concord. After serving 10 years, he was recommended for officer training at East Point which he accepted. After two years of officer training he received his first command, HMS Kimono. The next two decades he would rise through the ranks and gain the respectable rank of Commodore. He gained a lot of experience commanding junior officers which would prove helpful in the Velutarian War. Velutarian War Because of the initial civilian command over the military which proved ineffective, nearly all of his superiors died. This meant that he soon received on of the highest promotion jumps in Stoinian history, from Commodore to Admiral. However because of his unorthodox tactics, MacArthur had made him High Admiral in a short amount of time. It was here Cole excelled at making new tactics for the Stoinians. In cooperation with his colleagues he made the Cole Protocol to slow down the Velutarian advances. He was a key figure in this process, for which he received many medals. During his command of the 20th Star Corps he worked closely with Douglas Hague who had become a sort of military son to him. He later even thanked him personally for his successful defence of his home world, Corillia. Once Hague had made his stand at the Line, Cole joined the offensive and focused on the western part of the Star Kingdom, while MacArthur headed south towards the Velutarian home world. It is in these parts Cole is viewed as a great hero and statues of him aren't uncommon. For his actions he was given royal titles, but he refused as he saw such a thing as glory seeking. Resignation After two years of instructing the last of his junior officers, he announced his resignation at East Point during a speech towards cadets. He resigned as he had felt he had done his part for his nation and now wanted to rest the remainder of his life and remain close to his family. When the King heard of it, he was saddened, but still wanted to give Cole a final gift. This gift was a ranch on a rural world in the parts he helped liberate: Côte d'Est. Cole accepted and remains on his ranch to this day. Pacifica: Myria, Sallodesia, Stoinia • A1-0: Stoinian Star Kingdom • Aurora: Kingdom of Threnebor
