NAME: Robert ‘Bob’ Anderson

BIRTHDATE: April 25^th 2281

BIRTHPLACE: Auckland, Pacific Island Region, Earth

AFFILIATION: Terran Imperial Union Army

RANK: Private Recruit

Robert ‘Bob’ Anderson was born on A.N.Z.A.C. Day, 2281 in Auckland, New Zealand to a military family.

Both his father and grandfather had been officers in the Army, so it was par for the course that ‘Bob’ was expected to apply to the Officers Academy on Venus. He would even have a hand from family contacts in the Army.

Instead Bob simply enlisted as a recruit, wishing to earn his commission in the field rather than at a school. Since then Bob and his father have not seen eye to eye.

Bob was assigned into the 5^th Infantry Division and headed to their training facilities at Fort Charger, Maine, where he attended basic training, it was there he met fellow recruits ‘Rick’ Devers and Gerrard Keller. The three of them being at the top of their class were graduated early, due to the upcoming mission into the Reinager System and put under the care of ‘Bill’ Paskiwycz.

Anderson and his fellow recruits were assigned to the U.S.S. Hornblower (SDD-1073) for the journey to rendezvous with the Reinager Invasion Group in the Granedee System.

Anderson has a very sarcastic wit and often makes fun of what should be very serious situations. Some say it his way of dealing with problems he would otherwise find too complicated.
