Shalom Hubble was the commanding officer of the Dar-es-Salaam CTM as of 3039.[2]

History[edit]

Colonel Hubble, serving with the Dar-es-Salaam CTM, was stationed on Dar-es-Salaam in 3062. Previously a member of the Fourteenth Lyran Guards, Hubble was given command of the Dar-es-Salaam militia on the day of its founding in 3039. While Hubble was not a muslim himself, he respected the faith and its emphasis on morality and family. While Hubble did everything he could to support the five pillars of Islam - belief, prayer, fasting, pilgrimage, and alms - his insistence that militiamen not pray while on duty lead some hardliners to label him as "insensitive".[2]

During the Federated Commonwealth Civil War, Dar-es-Salaam was one of the worlds attacked by Victor Steiner-Davion's forces in the summer of 3064. Victor lead the attack on Dar-es-Salaam himself but when Hubble learned how fragile the ex-Prince's forces were, he lead a counterattack directly at the Federated Suns nobleman. On 24 July, Hubble confronted Victor in battle, but died as the Prince and his men fought their way clear of the militia's trap.[1]
