Selena Webb

Captain Selena Webb (16th March 2220) was a member of the Terra Firma Fleet, as well as part of the legendary Dragon Flight, the crew of the nine ships which survived the massacre of Gambit-5.

Biography
Selena was born in Galway, Ireland on Earth. For several years they lived on the outskirts of Galway city, and Selena spent much of her time running around the surrounding countryside with her friends and her twin sister, Alyssa. Headstrong and determined, Selena has always been ambitious - and her tomboyish streak sets her apart from her twin sister.

At the age of fourteen, the family relocated to Benbreach Colony on Jul-2, to be closer to Gambit-5 and larger centres of commerce during the economic downturn on Earth.

Family
Selena's parents, Aodhan and Aoife Webb, ran their own small businesses in their town on the outskirts of Donegal until the move to Benbreach colony. Aodhan Webb ran a DIY store, and Aoife was a florist, well-known throughout the county for her skills.

Selena and her twin sister, Alyssa, were inseperable for many years - holding hands wherever they went, dressing the same and liking the same things, and it was difficult to tear the two apart. However, in their teenage years, Selena became tired of being mistaken for her sister, and in an attempt to set the two apart, she dyed her hair bright red. It worked, and eventually their friendship solidified again and although they lead lives apart from each other, they had an incredibly strong bond.

Selena also had a younger sister, Caoimhe Webb, who was three years younger than the twins and was treated like the baby of the family by her parents, who doted on her, although the twins sometimes ganged up on her or made fun of her for being younger than them.

At the Academy
At the age of sixteen, both Selena and Alyssa joined the Academy at Gambit-5. Selena excelled in basic flight - showing a natural aptitude for being a pilot - and hand-to-hand combat. She also showed natural leadership qualities, leading to her undertaking officer training in her second year. She then remained at the Academy for a third year, for Advanced Pilot Training, after which she graduated at the top of her class.

Fleet Career
Selena took various postings after graduating, and she was eventually promoted to captain and given command of a Mark-One Aries class convoy escort, a few months after her sister was given the same posting, although on different ships. By 2245, Selena was in command of the 'Gyr'.
