Major Stark

Major Joe Stark wasn't always destined for the military—he was a structural engineer in civilian life, designing buildings meant to withstand earthquakes and hurricanes. When the Cascadian Conflict erupted across the Pacific territories, Richards witnessed firsthand how his engineering knowledge became weaponized, his designs repurposed for military fortifications, and he made a fateful decision to enlist rather than watch from the sidelines. Rising swiftly through the ranks of the 504th Marine Regiment due to his strategic brilliance and unwavering moral compass, he earned the respect of his soldiers not through fear but through an almost supernatural ability to calculate survival odds while never sacrificing a single life unnecessarily. The scars etched into his armor tell stories of seventeen years of combat—each dent a reminder of a decision made, a life saved, or a terrible cost paid—and his orange-tinted visor has become legendary among recruits as the lens through which impossible odds become tactical opportunities. Despite the darkness that surrounds him on every battlefield, Richards maintains an unshakeable belief that lawful order and human dignity can prevail even in humanity's most chaotic moments. His soldiers would follow him into the void itself, not because they fear his command, but because they've seen him choose the hardest right over the easiest wrong countless times when the smoke clears. Now, as commander of the attached company, of the 504th, he carries the weight of every decision with the same careful precision he once applied to blueprints, knowing that one miscalculation costs lives instead of merely compromising a building's integrity. Leading his Marines from the UES Constellation.
