The signal originated from an apparent crash site on the planet's surface. Diego and Korenchkin both headed down to the planet to investigate, each hoping - for their own reasons - to establish first contact with an alien race. Distrust brewed between Diego and Korenchkin, who commanded the Von Braun and represented TriOptimum's corporate interests on the voyage.ĭuring the voyage, the ships received a distress signal from Tau Ceti V. During the voyage, tensions between the TriOptimum and UNN crews were high. In those three months, the prototype faster-than-light drive would be deployed aboard the Von Braun, which would journey to the star Tau Ceti.ĭiego would command the UNN Rickenbacker to supervise the Von Braun and TriOptimum. However, during the UNN hearing on the future of the faster-than-light drive, the five years of extra time that Diego promised to Delacroix evaporated into only three months, due to corporate pressure from TriOptimum. Delacroix was working on a strict deadline from TriOptimum, which Diego promised to extend. The UNN was both interested in this technology and wary as to how the TriOptimum corporation, headed by ex-career criminal Anatoly Korenchkin, would abuse the device. Delacroix was developing a device that could bend space-time, allowing faster-than-light travel. Diego met with TriOptimum researcher Marie Delacroix around the start of 2114. Even as he rose to the rank of Rear Admiral, he was still known as 'Captain' William Bedford Diego.Ĭapt. The UNN heavily propagandized the event: the conflict was heavily stacked in the favor of UNN forces, as the insurgents were outnumbered and under-equipped - yet, Diego was revered as a hero and celebrity even still. After his mother's suicide, Diego vowed to never repeat his father's mistakes.ĭiego's most famous career achievement is the UNN victory at the Battle of Boston Harbor. The memory of his father's actions on Citadel Station hung over him for the rest of his life, and would later inform his career in the UNN Military.
