Brad Callan

Brad Callan (Viper) is a character in Starlancer.

Background
As wing leader, Viper is cautious and flies by the book. Rather than taking chances he operates methodically, wearing his opponents down. He's a highly motivated pilot with a proven track record, but he's seen little action to date because he was on leave at the start of the conflict.

Military history
Graduated near the top of his Academy class. Viper has been a career military man, but was on leave during the Coalition's opening salvo. Callan was immediately transferred into the 45th Volunteers as wing leader to pass on some of his experience to the younger and less experienced pilots. 33 confirmed kills before joining the 45th. Qualified on all levels of fighters, including small corvettes.
