Keiko Hurstingstone-Kawamura

Keiko was born to the Fledgling Hurstingstone-Kawamura, First Child of the two that Offically announced that a Son of Angus and a Daughter of Kawamura, they decided to instead of letting the Kawamuras wilt away, bring them into the fold. Keiko the Symbol of their Union grew up in Unprecedented Golden Times for Humanity. Fascinated with the World she quickly was drawn to learn but her Parents demanded she learns the Art of War in order to Continue to Lead and Expand the Martial Capabilities of their house if they are ever needed, while they do carry the Hurstingstone name, that does not make them immune.   Enlisting into Naval Service in 2539, she Quickly Rose in the Ranks and by 2548 she was a Captain of her own Vessel with Self selected Crew. Tensions in the Border Regions grew and in 2500 the Navy she was part of, Classis Europa, was sent to Fight. There she Started to climb the ladder further, proofing herself to be a Exceptional Strategic mind. Admirals started to get upset with her disregard of Command Chain and one of the final actions, the Siege of Vor'Aal, she was very unhappy with the Orders that were assigned, intercepted the orders and re-wrote them to her battle plan. Said plan worked well and ended with minimal Losses and a Capture of the Planet. Admirality saw this as the Final straw and were contemplating to Dishonorably Discharge Praefectus Keiko. Luckily for her though, Empress Valentina II Heared of the Praefectus that defied Orders but Won the day for the Empire. She ordered her to be sent to Earth and there the Admirality, together with Valentina II got her before a Court Martial. Keiko passionately argued her case on a Technical level, that the Projections of the Admiral's plan were horrible and the Adjustments and omitions she made were ultimately beneficial.   The Charges were dropped and Instead Keiko was Knighted for "Exceptional Bravery and Military Excellence". With a new sense of Pride and Arrogance Keiko got Promoted to Vice Admiral. The Admiralty of the Classis now had a Favored Golden Girl on their hand. They Wagered, if she is a Wreck they can put her away, somewhere where she does no danger and leaves Voluntarily or she is genuinely Good and they have a good Commander. Their Gamble worked. When in 2597 the URE dispatched the Classis to Take care of the Invaders Keiko was there to Coordinate the Assault. Bringing 1000's of Ships into Position to fight an unknown Enemy. She focused on Hit and Run, sending Science Vessels with the Combat ships to study the enemy as they Assaulted them to learn more about what they are fighting. Those sets of Data would become important later.   2600, 3 Years after being Deligated to Handle the Classis Europa on Expedition against the ExtraGalactic Threat, Then Admiral Commander Von Sachsen grew tired of the Slow progress she was making and ordered her off the Post and set Himself into the Frontline. Von Sachsen's plan was simple. He Gathered all forces of Europa, Africa, Asia and Auxiliary Fleets to Take the Bulk Fleet on in one large Battle. The Results were A Disaster and a new Day of Mourning as nearly 90% of all ships were destroyed or Disabled.   While being lower Rank as the next few in line, Valentina II again stepped in, and Requested that Keiko gets placed as Admiral Commander.
