Alaxis McKale

Alaxis McKale is a Lieutenant-Commander within the Imperium of Man's Imperial Navy, stationed on the Fortress World of Pyrathas.

History
McKale is in command of the warships permanently stationed in the Jericho Reach's Pyrathas system, reporting to Captain Sylas Skor. In practice, this consists of the Misadventure -- an Endeavour-class Light Cruiser -- plus a picket force of half a dozen Cobra destroyers retrofitted with long range augur arrays, and a dozen inter-system defence monitors.

Although technically these forces fall under the command of Captain Skor, his constant preoccupation with the base means that more and more of the responsibility for commanding the flotilla has fallen on McKale.

Thus far she's born the responsibility well, although she is still unsure of herself when it comes to what is effectively a squadron command. For that reason, she almost always defers to Skor when the senior officer makes his opinions known.
