History History
Frederick Jasper was fearless and intelligent, with a straight-shooter personality. He was nicknamed "March Jasper," for his dynamic tactical proclivity. He was always flashy in winning or in losing, and a KO was his only end, either way. "Half-hearted is not my style," was his motto. In his dictionary, there was "complete victory," but no "close victory;" and there was "total defeat," but no "close defeat." He had a strange jinx: when he won twice, he always lost the next battle. His crew knew of this trend of victory, victory, loss, victory, victory, loss... and when they had to fight in a "loss" battle, the would write their wills. It's not a laughing matter, as some soldiers tried to escape on those "loss" turns. But this tanned, dark-haired man was well-liked by his soldiers.
An example of Jasper's military record:
* December 737 - Victory
* March 738 - Victory
* August 738 - Defeat
* May 739 - Victory
* July 739 - Victory
* September 739 - Defeat
Frederick Jasper commanded his men in battle from his flagship, the Brigitte, during the Second Battle of Tiamat. During the battle (which resulted in an overwhelming victory for the Free Planets Alliance) March Jasper led his forces to a particularly decisive victory over an Imperial fleet in only 15 minutes. After the battle, however, the allied commander (and the leader of the Year 730 Mafia's leader), Bruce Ashbey, was killed in action. With Ashbey dead, the Alliance command was crippled, and incapable of capitalizing on their overwhelming victory.
After Ashbey's death, the Year 730 Mafia broke up. Of his peers, Frederick Jasper remained in the FPA military the longest. Becoming an full admiral in 749 UC, he succeeded fellow Year 730 Mafia member Wallace Warwick as Chief Commander of the Free Planets Alliance Space Fleet in 753 UC. Jasper would continue to serve in that position until 770 UC, making his the longest tenure in Alliance history. From 770 UC to 771 UC, he served as Alliance Joint Chief of Staff, but his performance would later be described as "merely average." After retiring from the military in 771 UC, Frederick Jasper was killed in a spaceship accident while on vacation with his wife.
