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
Endicott was born in approximately Season 69; however, his exact age was never recorded. He was commissioned a Lieutenant in the Army in Season 75 and served under General Oran until Season 81. By then a Captain, Endicott performed duty onboard several joint Army-Navy space vessels until Season 85 when was promoted to Major and assigned to a staff position.
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 own space vessel.
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.
