Admiral Shengli Cho

Early Years

Admiral Shengli (Trevor) Cho was born in the Singapore Arcology on Earth in 3150. He graduated from the Singapore Academy of Astrography in 3175 and spent five years at the Imperial Survey before transferring to the Imperial Earth Navy (IEN) with a General Service commission.

First Commands

His first command was on the ESS CHASER DDI in Q0 and he went on to command the whole Imperial Guard Destroyer Squadron in 3190. In 3192 he returned to the Naval Academy to teach light ship tactics and in 3198 he took command of a Cruiser Squadron deployed to Q7 to fight in the Exterminator War. He participated in the Battle of Tuskan in late 3200.

Current Appointment

Cho was made Deputy Commander of the 7th Colonial Fleet in 3201. That same year he organised the formation of a Marine Ground Force Division to clear an alien infestation from the sewers under the Penii capital city. Unofficial reports suggested he had refused orders by the system Governor to nuke the city from orbit and later that year he was awarded the Imperial Star by the Quadrant Governor and promoted to full command of the 7th Colonial Fleet, a position he has held for an unprecedented 23 years. During that time he has seen his command significantly reduced as the IEN refocussed its attention on Q0 and the funding of new technologies.

Personal Life

Cho has made Quadrant 7 his permanent home and consistently refused offers to take up politics or a more senior command in Q0. It is an open secret that he has had a long term relationship with Countess Hermione Zhang and that they have two daughters. One is serving with the Imperial Survey and the other with the Imperial Marines. His hobbies are listed as Facial Topiary and Stargazing.
