Summary
Aiden Talmid is the nephew of Sir Killian Talmid. He was born on Elister, the third planet of the Elistra System. In 2011 he and his cousin Shira joined the Nexus Force to follow Killian, but reassignment to Beck Strongheart's contingent stranded him on Avant Gardens. In turn, Shira was assigned to Melodie Foxtrot's Anti Spiderling Offensive and they were separated. He would see her only sporadically until she mysteriously vanished.
In the Sentinel Base Camp, Aiden took on the Nexus Force callsign Intrepid Fusion Eclipse, known simply as Intrepid. In his first month under Strongheart's command, Intrepid met and became best friends with Sergeant Ghost Mustache. Late in the year they met Cyclone, Kate, Rover, and Blade, who helped smuggle Intrepid and Sergeant out of Avant Gardens. They later helped rescue Cyclone from the Darkitect and defeat the Darkitect's then-current physical body.
Intrepid continued to adventure together with Cyclone, Kate, Rover, Blade, and Sergeant until the former two were stranded in another universe. The physics of inter-universal travel left the entire adventure, and Cyclone and Kate, gone and forgotten. After returning to their Nimbus System, Sergeant Ghost Mustache was assigned to Nimbus Station. They bid their goodbyes and Intrepid was left on Avant Gardens.
Meeting Edgar
In 2012, a recruit ship arrived on Avant Gardens and Intrepid met an older guy and fellow Elistran named Edgar on his way to Nimbus Station. Edgar informed Intrepid of an increasing Maelstrom presence in space outside the Nimbus System, and to expect the arrival of refugee ships from other systems.
So he could continue his search for Killian and now Shira too, Intrepid got Edgar to smuggle him to Nimbus Station. The two of them were teamed with fellow Nexus Forcers Hazel and Quinn, and they were able to explore the Nimbus System under the freedom of Nexus Force officers. Their search was unrewarding: neither Killian and Shira were to be found.
On a chance return to Avant Gardens, Intrepid ran into his brother Alex, who had arrived on a mixed refugee ship with survivors from different star systems including Elistra. The pleasantries of their reunion were few and painful, as Alex informed Intrepid of the Maelstrom attack on Elistra and their inability to defend themselves. When asked about the status of Nexus Force reinforcements to other systems, Commander Strongheart was apprehensive and evasive to discuss "Classified plans."
Back on Nimbus Station, Intrepid, Alex, and Edgar's team met with Sergeant Ghost Mustache, now a Nexus Force Officer, and with Sergeant's help were able to hack Nexus Force records and discover that Elistra was not prioritized to receive reinforcements, and would not be for some time, while the Nexus Fleet focused on blockading some place called Militiregnum. Edgar, Hazel, and Quinn then agreed to desert and join Intrepid and Alex in defending Elistra. Sergeant got them access to a Botany Bay class cargo ship, but was apprehended by Nexus Force grunts before he could join the Elistra Team, which escaped into hyperspace....
