Endicott

"You would look upon them and wonder how can such beauty be? You would gaze upon them and be filled with peace. But, I tell you this now. They are the greatest danger our people have ever faced. They are the Husnock. And they must be destroyed." -General Endicott

Endicott was a General and Supreme Commander of the Army during the years of the War. He was instrumental in persuading the Forum to declare war on the Husnock and thereafter led the combined forces of the Army and Navy in what was later described as a genocidal campaign against the Husnock. After the War, the Forum condemned his actions and declared Endicott a war criminal. He was allowed to retire with full pension rather than face a tribunal.

Early Life and Family

Endicott was born in approximately Season 69; however, his exact age was never recorded nor is it known the identity of his father. Endicott would later father his own son - Anthony, who rose to become an Admiral in the Service.

After attending the Service Academy, Endicott was commissioned a Lieutenant in the Army in Season 75. His first assignment was as Company Officer of an infantry unit where he first met General Oran. In Season 78, Oran promoted Endicott to Captain and appointed him as an aide. Over the next several years, Oran would serve as a mentor to Endicott and it is believed that during this time Endicott joined the Order.

In Season 81, Endicott began performing duties onboard joint Army-Navy space vessels. In Season 85 he was promoted to Major and assigned as Executive Officer of vessel ST-1703.

The Clearview Campaigns

Between Seasons 86 and 88, Endicott was a key officer in the implementation of the Clearview Campaigns. Many who knew Endicott in those days associated his later harsh demeanor and brutal tactics with the methods he had learned during these early military engagements. In Season 89, due in large part to his successes in the campaigns, Endicott was promoted to Colonel and given command of his space vessel, the ST-1703 which would later be famously known as the SS Husnock.

Early contact with the Husnock

It is believed that Endicott first learned of the Husnock race in Season 89 during his first year commanding the Standard Transport Class Vessel ST-1703 (later to be christened the SS Husnock). When the first Husnock transmissions were detected on the Homeworld in Season 90, Endicott advocated responding with military force. This recommendation would ultimately lead to the outbreak of the War.
