Roger is a down-to-earth, happy, ever-optimistic guy with a slight Indian accent. He has always preferred the strategic view of the battle instead of going to the field and pointing the gun with his bare hands at the enemy. This is partly because of his good nature, and partly because he finds himself more confortable and skilled in a controlled enviroment. A tactical officer aboard a starship offered just this; He would shoot vessels, not people directly; aboard a starship the battle fares more slowly, so he'd have more time to think his actions; and most of all, the militarys need of people with good skills in computers and computer guided weapon -systems (CGW) had increased drastically as the firts really efficient starships were built and sent to research the skies. This need was still not satisfied on his homeplanet, though the startravel was already an everyday thing to most of the people. Many didn't want to leave their home permanently, as that was what signing up mostly meant back then. So, a young guy intrested in technology and travelling found his dreamjob.
