Memphis Saxon

Memphis Saxon is a human male and fighter pilot for the Alliance Navy. He was born in 2420 on Balor, a human colony world to Brett Saxon a cropduster pilot, and Diana Saxon. As a child his father taught him to fly in his cropduster and by the time Memphis was 17 he was an experienced pilot himself. He enlisted in the navy at age 18 in 2438 mainly to escape the mundane life of his farming colony. During his time in the navy academy on Cathtar he continually impressed his instructors with his flights in the simulator and pulling off incredible moves they'd never seen before. He graduated from the academy in 2439 and was assigned to a Monarch-class starfighter aboard the aircraft carrier the ANV Abysinnia. When the Alliance Civil War began in 2441 Memphis was 21. During his time on the Abyssinia he developed a close mentor-mentee bond with Koen Helmich. When Koen defected in 2441, Memphis was one of the hardest hit by his betrayal. He swore that if he ever got to see Koen again, he'd kill him.
