'''[[Command Flight Officer]] Mekum James Campbell''' ([[IMID]] 1080704) is a highly trained and experienced soldier and the only known remnant of [[The Project]] left in existence. He is a former Special Forces officer, Intelligence Operative, General, while still a member of the [[Imperial Navy]] and the current [[Chief of Staff]] for the [[8th Imperial Fleet]].
 +
 
 +
He is also known as the "Ghost" by former covert and intelligence associates, "Chief", "ORION-J87" "MJ12-Lenneria", and "Phase Four".

 +
 
 +
On Year 5 Day 109, work began on replicating an exact clone of [[James Walters]], who was inadvertently killed by the failure of Phase Two. Using Spaarti cloning cylinders allowed the process to be limited to a singular year but allowing enough time to complete genetic modifications upon the original MJ12-Lenneria DNA. [[Alexander Fel]] ordered that the clone be an improved upgrade of the original Walters and hoped that he would be able to clone a 'perfect' servant. The scientists at his secret Lenneria facility successfully managed to compress the memo groups within the DNA strand, eventually leaving two hundred instead of forty seven, compacted and filled with infinite genetic knowledge. By tampering with the original DNA in such a way, Fel's scientists were able to give 'Phase Four' superior strength, endurance and dexterity far beyond what a normal human being, whilst being subconsciously loyal to Fel. It is unknown whether or not Fel was successful in his attempt to 'clone' the Force, what few remaining scientific documents relating to [[The Project]] were destroyed after the failure of Phase Three. Phase Four was activated fourteen months after creation on Year 6 Day 140 and inserted within the [[Galactic Empire]]. Totally engineered by [[Alexander Fel]], saw Imperial service as a testing ground for the [[The_Project#Phase_Four_and_the_Future.3F|Orion program]]. Some conspiracy theorists have claimed that [[The Project]] still continues through Campbell, though thus far this has never been proven or discounted.

==Subject Notes==
 +
===Appearance===
 +
Campbell is a tall man of about perhaps just over 6 feet. He does not appear to be outwardly strong but there is a less noticeable strength in the wiriness of his frame. His face is perhaps more intriguing than the clothes he wears. His dark brown, almost black hair seems overly long, as if overdue for a haircut. The grey flecks pick up the colour in his blue-grey eyes, never unmoving, hold a sense of sharp awareness, curiousness and yet, betray the deepest of memories held within. Beneath a layer of thick stubble, his weathered features are as if they were chiselled from fleshy stone, fit flawlessly together, though marred only by a singular deep scar running up the left side of his face. The scar gives his face a mocking, sardonic cast which all but disappears when he smiles. His body is toned and well built, though still shows much wiriness in his frame for a humanoid of his size. A pair of powerful arms fall away from his broad shoulders to his sides. His legs, not unlike the rest of his body, could almost be two Wroshyr-trunks balancing his body above, moving with ease and sure felt confidence, though his stance and walk give the impression he carries a great weight with his every movement.
 +
 
 +
He wears a pair of black high-cut leather boots, much patched, but still supple and tight about his calves. Above the scared boots, he wears Imperial olive-green coveralls that have been reinforced with leather although the red stripes on the coveralls' outer seems have long faded to a dull purple. Over his body, he wears a faded and ripped green jacket that is decorated with the remnants of black piping, now so threadbare and patched, defining years of rough and determined use. Slung over his shoulder in a waterproof sheath is an Old Republic Rifle. At his waist, a long barrelled blaster pistol is stuck into a snake-clasped belt, while at his left hip is a battered metal scabbard in which hangs a long, heavy straight sword.
 +
 
 +
There is one last thing to note, a presence around him, an air of calm, secure confidence.
 +
 
 +
===Personality & Traits===
 +
Campbell is the recipient of multi-disciplinary military training, imbeded into his subconscious mind in the later stages of his growth. From this training, Campbell is proficient in not only basic infantry skills, but in special operations, which includes the use and maintenance of specialized firearms and explosive ordnance. He is highly trained in infiltration into heavily-guarded enemy territories and structures for the purpose of assassination, captures, and military intelligence and is also trained in various forms of camouflage and stealth. He is skilled with a great many types of explosives, ranging from simple detonators to improvised explosives. His hand-to-hand combat skills are more then sufficient to allow him to incapacitate and kill men much stronger than he is, as well as to deal with groups of armed and unarmed enemies, killing them all without weapons if he deems it necessary. He is also extremely deadly in knife training. Additionally, he is a preternaturally-precise marksman and is thoroughly trained and experienced in unconventional (guerilla) warfare. He is an armourer, a gunsmith, and an expert in field medicine.

Reminicent of the hand weapons carried by guardsmen during the time of the Old Republic, Blastech was clearly aiming at a younger market when they first brought out this design. And for some time their marketing tactics worked. The pistol was immensely popular amongst the younger nobles, especially in Tapani sector. Relatively little skill was required to wield the weapon effectively, plus several types of holsters were provided to match the outfit of its owner. However, as with all fads of fashion, the popularity did not last. As a result this former weapon of nobility is now mostly found in the hands of pirates and outlaws.</td>

Because of this ultrasonic vibration, even a glancing blow from one of these weapons could become a life-threatening injury.
 +
 
 +
As it is quieter than a blaster, the vibroblade is popular among assassins, but it can also be easily carried as a secondary weapon for close-range fighting. In the past, these weapons were often minted containing a weave of the rare material cortosis, which allowed blade to parry even lightsaber strikes; a property that made the vibroblade a weapon of choice among Sith assassins. However, this practice has been out of favour with commercial forges for some time, as various galactic conflicts have seen a decline in the numbers of Force users. </td>

===Romances===
 +
====Tanya Rolfes====
 +
Campbell's first long term partner. Rolfes was a [[1st Lieutenant]] in the [[Imperial Army]], aide to the Emperor. Executed during the NAO Insurrection for attempting to defect with the rest of her family. She was the mother of his son, Quinlan, now in the care of Owen von Ismay.
 +
 
 +
====[[Aeia Tavell]]====
 +
[[Sergeant]] in the [[Imperial Army]] and sister of [[Alexander Fel]], they were engaged to be married when Aeia was tragically killed by an Eidola boarding party. Campbell still harbours the faintest of suspicions about why she was located on the civilian vessel at the time of the attack.
 +
 
 +
====[[Inara Imperium]]====
 +
Despite the length of time that had passed since Aeia's death, Campbell never fully recovered, becoming genuinely heartbroken and bitter to a point where it almost costs him his life. He emotionally detached himself from all around him so as to never let himself be put in the same situation again. Campbell embarked along a path of meaningless affairs or one night stands with almost every woman he encountered, and discarded them the minute they became an inconvenience, reasoning it "keeps things simple."
 +
 
 +
Upon their first meeting, Inara and Campbell clashed over a misunderstanding, beginning a trend that would continue for several weeks. However, after only a few days after their first meeting, the pair managed to work things out and became closer, though keeping up the disdain of each other for appearances. After a time and several liaisons, the pair opened up to each other and unexpectedly to both while they were staying in Bella Vistall, Corellia. A few days later, Inara and Mekum came clean about their growing relationship, causing shock among some and resentment from others. However [[Josef DeLaurel]], [[Inwe Ventidius]] and [[Niobe Asha]], while shocked at the revelation, were unsurprised that the pair had become romantically involved.
 +
 
 +
While Mekum is not so emotionally detached, he still knows that Inara can be used against him and never allows himself to forget, despite his love and willingness to do anything for her.

Command Flight Officer Mekum James Campbell (IMID 1080704) is a highly trained and experienced soldier and the only known remnant of The Project left in existence. He is a former Special Forces officer, Intelligence Operative, General, while still a member of the Imperial Navy and the current Chief of Staff for the 8th Imperial Fleet.

He is also known as the "Ghost" by former covert and intelligence associates, "Chief", "ORION-J87" "MJ12-Lenneria", and "Phase Four".

Biography

Early life

Phase Four - Codename: ORION

"In time you may come back some say, to live once more, or die once more"
— From an unknown Mid-Rim song


On Year 5 Day 109, work began on replicating an exact clone of James Walters, who was inadvertently killed by the failure of Phase Two. Using Spaarti cloning cylinders allowed the process to be limited to a singular year but allowing enough time to complete genetic modifications upon the original MJ12-Lenneria DNA. Alexander Fel ordered that the clone be an improved upgrade of the original Walters and hoped that he would be able to clone a 'perfect' servant. The scientists at his secret Lenneria facility successfully managed to compress the memo groups within the DNA strand, eventually leaving two hundred instead of forty seven, compacted and filled with infinite genetic knowledge. By tampering with the original DNA in such a way, Fel's scientists were able to give 'Phase Four' superior strength, endurance and dexterity far beyond what a normal human being, whilst being subconsciously loyal to Fel. It is unknown whether or not Fel was successful in his attempt to 'clone' the Force, what few remaining scientific documents relating to The Project were destroyed after the failure of Phase Three. Phase Four was activated fourteen months after creation on Year 6 Day 140 and inserted within the Galactic Empire. Totally engineered by Alexander Fel, saw Imperial service as a testing ground for the Orion program. Some conspiracy theorists have claimed that The Project still continues through Campbell, though thus far this has never been proven or discounted.

Appearance

Campbell is a tall man of about perhaps just over 6 feet. He does not appear to be outwardly strong but there is a less noticeable strength in the wiriness of his frame. His face is perhaps more intriguing than the clothes he wears. His dark brown, almost black hair seems overly long, as if overdue for a haircut. The grey flecks pick up the colour in his blue-grey eyes, never unmoving, hold a sense of sharp awareness, curiousness and yet, betray the deepest of memories held within. Beneath a layer of thick stubble, his weathered features are as if they were chiselled from fleshy stone, fit flawlessly together, though marred only by a singular deep scar running up the left side of his face. The scar gives his face a mocking, sardonic cast which all but disappears when he smiles. His body is toned and well built, though still shows much wiriness in his frame for a humanoid of his size.

His legs, not unlike the rest of his body, could almost be two Wroshyr-trunks balancing his body above, moving with ease and sure felt confidence, though his stance and walk give the impression he carries a great weight with his every movement.

He wears a pair of black high-cut leather boots, much patched, but still supple and tight about his calves.

There is one last thing to note, a presence around him, an air of calm, secure confidence.

Personality & Traits

Campbell is the recipient of multi-disciplinary military training, imbeded into his subconscious mind in the later stages of his growth. From this training, Campbell is proficient in not only basic infantry skills, but in special operations, which includes the use and maintenance of specialized firearms and explosive ordnance. He is highly trained in infiltration into heavily-guarded enemy territories and structures for the purpose of assassination, captures, and military intelligence and is also trained in various forms of camouflage and stealth.

Personal Ships

The 'Pillar of Autumn'
This Heavily modified Trilon Aggressor, given to Campbell by Alexander Fel without explanation. While externally the Trilon's appearance is as normal as the next ship, underneath the hull plating lies an advanced hyperdrive, the Sienar SSDS 11-A system. Cutting-edge sensory arrays, and one of the fastest sublight engines known to exist, the experimental high temperature X-C 2 ion drive array. It can also carry six passengers while its total capacity was 2.5 metric tons. The 'Pillar' is protected by six low-profile laser cannons which could extend and fire several laser bursts in the blink of an eye, two ion cannons and a tractor beam emitter. These upgrades and modifications, along with other confidential details allow Campbell to undertake missions of importance and secrecy with ease. main.jpg
'Pillar of Autumn'

Romances

Tanya Rolfes

Campbell's first long term partner. Rolfes was a 1st Lieutenant in the Imperial Army, aide to the Emperor. Executed during the NAO Insurrection for attempting to defect with the rest of her family. She was the mother of his son, Quinlan, now in the care of Owen von Ismay.

Aeia Tavell

Sergeant in the Imperial Army and sister of Alexander Fel, they were engaged to be married when Aeia was tragically killed by an Eidola boarding party. Campbell still harbours the faintest of suspicions about why she was located on the civilian vessel at the time of the attack.

Inara Imperium

Despite the length of time that had passed since Aeia's death, Campbell never fully recovered, becoming genuinely heartbroken and bitter to a point where it almost costs him his life. He emotionally detached himself from all around him so as to never let himself be put in the same situation again. Campbell embarked along a path of meaningless affairs or one night stands with almost every woman he encountered, and discarded them the minute they became an inconvenience, reasoning it "keeps things simple."

Upon their first meeting, Inara and Campbell clashed over a misunderstanding, beginning a trend that would continue for several weeks. However, after only a few days after their first meeting, the pair managed to work things out and became closer, though keeping up the disdain of each other for appearances. After a time and several liaisons, the pair opened up to each other and unexpectedly to both while they were staying in Bella Vistall, Corellia. A few days later, Inara and Mekum came clean about their growing relationship, causing shock among some and resentment from others. However Josef DeLaurel, Inwe Ventidius and Niobe Asha, while shocked at the revelation, were unsurprised that the pair had become romantically involved.

While Mekum is not so emotionally detached, he still knows that Inara can be used against him and never allows himself to forget, despite his love and willingness to do anything for her.
