About Yourself
You are a crewmember aboard a "warship" assigned to Whiterapids.
You got there through various means, whether by being conscripted by the Draconic Empire as a lizard, or as volunteer serviceman from the Dominion of Light as Mothpeople/Etherials.
Humans can be either contracted by Nanotrasen, "Chosen as Volunteer" by SolGov, or have any number of voluntary/conscripted backgrounds.
Generally, every living being of the Federation can volunteer for naval service with Central Command.
Depending on your rank(Heads/Captain), you may also have prior standing as a politician or government official, or a position in an allied nations own navy. Or you just have friends in the right places.
About Your Employer
Whiterapids is a joint naval command, technically under command of Central Command, though due to Nanotrasen's generous donations, they are allowed to take effective leadership.
Whiterapids's Highest command role is the Grand Admiral, they have command over all of the Fleet Admirals, each of which commands around 10 or so Admirals, Who each control ~1-8 battlegroups, containing anywhere from a single battleship, all the way up to groups of 20 ships big.
Central Command is the "central command" of the Federation, sort of like the UN or European Union of the 20tieth century.
About Current Circumstances
Currently ongoing conflicts are the Second Syndicate War, general attacks by pirates of all kinds, somewhat of a cold war between the Draconic Empire and the Dominion of Light and constant conflicts of interests between solgov and most other nations, mostly Nanotrasen.
