Biography[]
The Anglo-Solar Conflict[]
A young but promising Admiral of the Solar Fleet, Admiral A-Qira was present during the initial attacks of the Anglo Isles on the Solar Empire.
During the invasion, he led various operations to push back the invaders out of the outer Isles of the Empire such as assisting their Western Frontier allies led by Brigadier Betty, destroying the Anglo missile outposts at Big Honshu and re-capturing the Airbase used by the Anglo forces as their command center, after defeating the Anglo forces on the Isles alongside General Herman, the remnants of the Anglo Invasion battalion was forced to finally leave the Empire. however, he immediately ordered an Retribution Campaign against the Anglo Isles for much of his empress's dismay but she refused to provide all forces he needed to win a war, knowing that he was unable to invade the Anglo Isles with his weakened force, he requested the assistance of the Tundran Territories to invade the Anglo Isles together.
After many initial victories over the Anglo Isles, the Anglo forces were able to reclaim ground with the combined efforts of Commander Pierce and Colonel Windsor, after losing his Dreadnought even with the assistance of Tundran Battleships, Marshall Nova decided to forfeit from the war for much of A-Qira's frustration and anger. Eventually, the Anglo forces were able to locade A-Qira's last base where he made his last stand against the Anglo force led by Pierce. however, his forces were unable to withstand Pierce's forces and the Airbase was taken, the Anglo forces used the Airbase to resupply their Aircrafts to attack the main Solar Fleet outside of the Isles.
Death[]
After A-Qira's final defeat, he is last seen looking on in horror at the remains of the stranded Solar Empire fleet as it has been routed and under fire by Anglo Isles air forces. Cursing the Anglos since he perceives he was the rightful victor, he takes a sip from his canteen. A silhouette of Kaiser Vlad stands in the shadows behind him. The Kaiser approaches and declares, "You will not have to suffer the shame of defeat for long, Admiral A-Qira." Surprised by this, A-Qira addresses Vlad, asking "How... Why?" before turning pale. Vlad responds sarcastically with, "Something wrong, Admiral?" At this point A-Qira realizes what has been done and drops to the deck of his battleship after crying "Poison... treachery!" Vlad assures him he is "Quite correct, on both accounts!" as A-Qira agonizes in his death throes.
