People of the PACT Arm

Commanders

ZOCU

Lord Dorington
The genius Londener admiral who secured most of ZOCU's naval victories in the ZOCU War. Died with his steed, the first-run Pallada-class battleship Boadacea, at the climax of the Battle of Aldebaran in September 2187. It is widely believed that, had Dorington survived, the Combined Militia would have retained the initiative and kept the EUSF from concentrating the resources to attack in sufficient strength to defeat the ZCM's numerically-inferior forces.

Saffron Kimmel
One of the war's most controversial figures, Saffron Kimmel is primary remembered for her loss at the Battle of Haraway's World. Ancillary reasons to remember her are the decimation of the ZOCU fleets, the destruction of the the Harawayan Pallada-class battleship Landing by massed fire from multiple Core battleship divisions, and the loss of the war.

Prior to the chaotic close-quarters fight over Haraway, Kimmel was a highly skilled manager; before the war she built the Harawayan aerospace arm up from a handful of craft to one of the most powerful in ZOCU. Unfortunately, she was not the genius tactician needed at the battle of Haraway. Despite the intellectual advantages afforded her by her Yellow Harawayan caste template, convoluted Harawayan command and control systems and simple lack of brilliance or experience as a fleet commander on that scale doomed Kimmel's efforts.

It's rumoured Kimmel survived the destruction of the Landing and still lives somewhere on the rim.

Marshal Leona Malki
Haraway's ground commander

Admiral Reiko Tenmo
Haraway's Surface Naval commander

Core

Ichijo Fujima-Halsey
Born in 2140s Japan to a powerful Zaibatsu family, Ichijo Fujima

Anton Zweiker
Ruthless and calculating, Anton Zweiker led his reform minded faction to prominence within the EU's military command structure and the Deep Space Fleet to its final crushing victory over Haraway's World.

Sarah Ashmore

As a senior division commander in the Deep Space Fleet, Sarah Ashmore commanded the force dispatched to repulse Lord Dorington's raid on Aldebaran. She received considerable accolades for her success, but ultimately was passed over for the coveted position of DSF Commander in Chief. Ashmore continued to serve as a division commander throughout the war, eventually leading the fleet's vanguard at the Battle of Haraway.
As of 2193, Ashmore was reassigned to command the newly formed Silesian Navy.

Aces

The largest influence on the aces produced during the ZOCU War was undoubtedly the weapon they piloted: the mobile suit. The Core lacked a comparable weapon until the very end of the war and moreover had much lower levels of transgenic augmentation among their military forces. As a result, the individual achievements of Core aces generally did not figure within ZOCU. On average, the most successful ZOCU aces were those who transferred early to a Hoplite variant, were heavily augmented, fought extensively during the early days on the EU Arm where the quality of their enemies was generally inferior, and hailed from worlds willing to keep their best pilots on the field as much as possible.

ZOCU

Geist
ZOCU's #1 Ace.

Y. G. Kruger
The highest-ranked Transbaalan ace and the 2nd highest overall. One of the first volunteers for the Cape Project that created ZOCU alephs, he was primarily active along the PACT arm. He flew virtually every ZOCU mobile suit design in service, with his distinctive brilliant red customized Sarissa Orgia (originally the 3rd prototype) being his weapon of choice both during and after the war. He currently heads ZOCU's Advanced Combat School, though rumors are that he is being considered for a more prestigious position.

Kuroko Batori-Reizei
Called Jewel Eye, the highest ranked Kanonian ace and 4th highest overall. Rather than a custom colour scheme, she piloted mobile suits with a custom many-coloured eyepiece which became distinguishable to enemies at close range. Among the few military personnel of note on either side to be seriously indicted for war crimes, she was ruled unfit to stand trial and quickly thrown away in a mental institute.

Amadeus Searrs Saioji
The White Prince of Kanon made his name during the Kanon campaign as both an excellent commander and pilot, operating the numerous types of machines available to the defence forces. At the end of the year, he was transferred to orbital duties and quickly promoted to a command, though he continued piloting to the end of the war. He was among the forces drawn from throughout the alliance to fight at the decisive Battle of Haraway and went missing in action there in a white-and-gold Sarissa.

He is the genetic half brother of Kaguya Altena Saioji

Jasmine Raz
Haraway's famous Blue Devil, Major (Later Colonel) Jasmine Raz is the World's top scorer and the Fifth Rank Scorer in ZOCU. Jasmine joined the Harawayian aerospace force initially as a test pilot, then went on to fly pretty much all frames used by Haraway during the war, before finally settling down in a modified Sarissa-H in mid 2188, leading the famous Blue Devil squadron from 2186 onwards, initially flying Hoplites before converting over into Haraway's premier all Sarissa unit.

Jasmine survived a confrontation with a Doppelsöldner during the battle of Haraway, scoring the only confirmed kills against the much feared EU orbital frames by Harawayian a pilot.

After the War, Jasmine was promoted to Commodore and took over the mobile suit wing tasked with air defence of the Capital and Landing Island. She is married to superstar pop singer turned politician Emma Lan, though she prefers to stay out of politics.

Emmanuel Isley Churchman
God-fearing Legionaire specialist hailing from Ophen. Shot down and injured seven times through the war. Is a major ace both in the starways of the PACT arm and on the ground at Kanon, Choson, and Suzumiya. Presently still serving and highly decorated in the Ophen system militia. Infamous for entering battle with a cowbow hat rather than regulation helmet.

Astra Lyeti Leizen-Eld
Eleventh highest scoring ace of ZOCU and the number one cosmic soldier of the United States of Atlantis. Flight name: Crystalised Silver. Veteran of the 16th Mobile and the Battle of Londenium where she was among the first Hoplite test pilots outside Kanon. Went missing in action at Haraway but persistent rumors have surfaced that she has been spotted recently on Heaven's Shore with known members of the Zodiac Elite Retaliatory Order.

Murie MacRisa
The Blazing Star from Londenium. Baseline.

Core

Damien Hatchet
The Man from Albion, the EU's #1 mecha ace. He emerged from the tenements of Albion to become one of the pilots of the ill-fated Lambert frame, but distinguished himself in that role nevertheless, even supposedly managing to down a Sarissa in the 2188 New Mercia ambush. Since the introduction of the Leopold he has never looked back, and still uses his gold-painted Lion King when not behind the lines training the next generation of mobile suit pilots.

Years of fame as a war hero has done little to restrain his coarse manner or ego, and although he is more than capable of delivering a script to a press conference the EU still prefers to keep him at arms length from the press. Scattered allegations remain about crimes committed during the Battle of Haraway, but have little traction due to the lack of clear evidence and the frosty relations between ZOCU and the EU.

Enrique Rodriguez
PACT's very own Wedge Antilles. Also first Phantom pilot and first Phantom ace. Currently performing his sixth consecutive year of War Bond tours.
