Acting Legate
Profession Armor Commander

Carl Phillips was the acting Legate of Bryant by 3138.[1]

History[edit]

He was armor battalion commander in the Bryant Planetary Militia. When a few companies of the local defense forces lost their discipline in those chaotic times of the Blackout, he arrested several dissident warriors under his command, and cashiered others.

He was publicly lauded for his initiative, but behind closed doors the RAF was unnerved by how quickly he circumvented protocols and the authority of his own superiors. His loyalty to the planet above the Republic of the Sphere attitude led the Republic military to leave him behind when the Planetary Militia was nationalized and sent to Terra.

He was left in charge of the Bryant Citizens Militia, a planetary defense force composed of forces that would usually defend a backwater world and not the ones of a world part of Fortress Republic. He was denied the title of Legate that the Republic normally bestows upon those with such authority.

After that, he focused his energies on ensuring that the infantry and vehicle forces left on Bryant are the best they could be. Acknowledging the proper chain of command, he has not claimed the title of Legate and the missives he sends are coming from the office of the Legate.[1]
