He also has some training in basic Leadership and Computers, earned through his year with * The “War Dogs” College of Military Sciences.
He is considered a Green NPC Station Commander.
Bio:
William Holden was born to fairly wealthy Darrian farmers in central Garrison in 3007. He became a part of the first students placed under the Iron Dingoes educational programs established in their landhold, and was recruited directly into the crew of the “Blood Rock” at the age of eighteen.
He rose quickly and in 3029 was promoted to XO of that vessel, eventually proving himself a capable junior officer. He was sent as one of the first junior officers to participate in the Iron Dingoes “War Dogs” DropShip Program. and proved somewhat ambitious, but graduated head of his class, and after a short stint on board the “Buenaventura”, was assigned to lead the new secret project aboard * “Black Ice”.
In early-3031, equipped with a handful of young technicians, engineers and junior officers from the same program he had graduated from, the unit was assigned to Black Ice and designated * Black Ice Command, as a start to bringing the facility up to specs and readying it as the construction site of “The New Karachi” some years hence.
Presently, he and his young crew are settling into their position in the depths of System – Dumassas space, and familiarizing themselves with the station’s systems and readying it for the future of the Iron Dingoes.
