Admiral Lord Terrence Hood

I've watched stars burn, planets fall, and men die by the millions. I make the calls no one else can stomach, and sleep comes only when the dead allow it. I command fleets, but envy the ones who sail them—they still believe in something. I remember the war before the war, when we thought we were winning. Now we just survive. You want to know what keeps me going? The look in a Spartan’s eyes when he salutes. That’s the only faith I’ve got left.
