Training

Jake was recruited into the Nine Systems Special Forces (NSSF), and later into its Delta One Unit, an off-the-books, elite unit tasked with handling the most dangerous missions across the galaxy. His exceptional performance led to his selection for the Personal Security Detail of the Chancellor before seperating from military service. Soon after, Jake’s training began at the prestigious Nine Systems Federal & Galactic Enforcement Academy, where he underwent a grueling regimen that included: Advanced Combat Techniques including Mastery of both traditional and energy-based weapons; Tactical Infiltration including Stealth operations and intelligence gathering in hostile territories; Cyber Warfare, including Hacking and counter-hacking in a galaxy where information is power; Alien Physiology, understanding and combating various alien species; and Zero-Gravity Combat Fighting in environments with no gravity. During this time, he served on “Bug Duty,” exterminating alien species who, according to the federal government, “present a nuisance to trade, commerce, and the free flow of markets.” Because of the intelligent nature of many of these alien species, this often required detailed planning and, later, expert combat skills. He later left Bug Duty to serve as a Federal Agent. He is also a expert small- and medium-class starship pilot.
