Niamh Ryan

Naimh Ryan is a human female born in Kilkenny, Ireland in 2400. In 2417 she enlisted in the Alliance Navy and was tasked to the ANV Untouchable under Captain Ramona Linh. This was during the Alliance-Somakian War, and so the Untouchable, along with Niamh, saw combat all over the galaxy for the next few months. During her time on the Untouchable she also developed a romance with fellow crewmate Jensen Booth. However in 2418 the Untouchable was involved in the Battle for Earth. The ship was badly damaged and Captain Linh ordered a general evacuation, however Niamh and Jensen were the only crew who escaped in an escape pod before the Untouchable was finished off by a Somakian warship. Afterwards, Niamh was assigned to the newly-commisioned ANV Trinity, while Jensen was assigned to the ANV Redeker. Throughout the next two decades she and Booth developed an on-again off-again relationship, which became difficult and strained due to the nature of their duties. In 2439 she was given command of the ANV Abyssinia, and Jensen was also assigned to the Abyssinia as the onboard squad's CAG. Two years later the Alliance Civil War broke out against the Federacy.
