For troopers eager to experience what the Special Operation Group has to offer, it’s essential to become acquainted with those you’ll be fighting alongside. This is why the Federation created these dossiers to be declassified to any trooper General Rico deems worthy for S.O.G. consideration.
Introducing your master of explosives and S.O.G. Demolisher:
Jackson Callahan, better known to his friends as “Moose,” was born and raised on the rugged Terran colony of New Wellington. From a young age, he displayed a natural athleticism and an unrivaled enthusiasm for physical challenges and combat training. His nickname "Moose" stuck early on, owing both to his imposing stature and his tendency to charge headfirst into any situation.
Growing up in New Wellington, a frontier world plagued by occasional skirmishes with hostile wildlife and criminal elements, Moose learned the importance of strength and bravery in defending oneself and others. His upbringing instilled in him a deep sense of duty and a fierce loyalty to his fellow colonists, traits that would later define his career in the Federation's Mobile Infantry.
Joining the Federation military at the earliest opportunity, Moose quickly carved out a reputation as a fearless and dependable soldier. His approach to combat was straightforward — meet force with greater force, relying on his physical prowess and sheer determination rather than intricate planning or strategic finesse. While not the sharpest tactician, Moose made up for it with his unshakable confidence and willingness to charge into the fray to protect his comrades.
Throughout his career, Moose has served on numerous fronts against the relentless Arachnid menace that threatens Federation space. His combat record is dotted with daring rescues, last-minute saves, and feats of heroism that have earned him both admiration and exasperation from his fellow troopers. His belief in his own invincibility is often tested but never shattered, fueling his recklessness in the face of overwhelming odds.
Despite his rough-and-tumble exterior and occasional clashes with authority figures due to his impulsive nature, Moose is fiercely loyal to his squadmates and deeply cares about their well-being. He sees himself not just as a soldier, but as the bulwark of his team, willing to lay down his life without hesitation to ensure their safety.
Off-duty, Moose enjoys physical training, competitive sports, and embellished tales of his own exploits over drinks with his comrades. Beneath his bravado lies a genuine warmth and camaraderie that endears him to those who see past the bluster. Deep down, Moose dreams of a future where he can continue to fight for a cause greater than himself, forever seeking the next adrenaline rush that comes with defending humanity from the Bug!
