History
Ton Lind was born on Fuller in 41 BSW, the son of a civilian space pilot and his wife. When he turned 17, he was offered a a scholarship to the Black Star Military Academy, which he accepted. He graduated top of his class two years later, and was assigned to the Freedom-class Corvette Halifax as security officer, with the rank of Ensign. At age 22, he was promoted to Sub-Lieutenant and transferred to the Aksum-class Corvette Amanita. After serving aboard the Amanita for a year, he was promoted to Lieutenant, and given command of the Aksum-class Corvette Adarga. During his command of the Adarga, he was promoted to Lieutenant Commander. After commanding the Adarga for three years, he was given command of the Repulse-class Frigate Impervious. During his four year command of the Impervious, the ship engaged pirates several times. During one such engagement, a proton torpedo penetrated the shield of the frigate and detonated on the hull, causing a bulkhead to come loose and fall on Lind, crushing his left leg. Despite his injury, he continued to command the ship, which earned him the Confederated Wound Badge, as well as an Admiral of the Fleet Citation.

At the age of 30, he was promoted to Captain and given command of the Iron Duke-class Destroyer Cutthroat. Two years later, he was promoted to Line Captain, garnering command of the Warlord-class Light Cruiser Achilles. While commanding the Achilles, he had more run-ins with pirates, earning him a promotion to Commodore. At age 35 he was given command of the Skaadi-class Cruiser Sword of Vengeance. The Sword of Vengeance were the first ship to encounter the Kartanin. For his excellent diplomatic skill, which prevented a war with the feline Kartanin, he was given a Presidential Citation, and a promotion to Rear Admiral.

He commanded the Sword of Vengeance until he turned 41. He was then promoted to Vice Admiral and given command of the Dread-class Battleship Dominion. He commanded the Dominion until Drillaria. At Drillaria, Lind earned the Confederate Cross and a promotion to Admiral. A year later, 47 years old, he was promoted to High Admiral, a position he has held since.
