AN: This pilots name is derived from two men who I know and respect personally.

Colonel Steven Bradford: The Navy Mobius One.

Colonel Steven Bradford's military career began on 30/5/2000 when he joined the Delarus Islands Naval Air Service. Quickly passing through basic flight training, his exceptional reflexes meant that he was recommended for fighter pilot training. After completing his fighter pilot training, he was posted to the aircraft carrier Invincible, flying F-4 Phantom II's.

On 6/2/2004, he was one of five naval officers who represented the Delarus Navy in the Annual Inter-services Tae-Kwon-Do tournament. However, the Stonehenge conflict started shortly before the tournament was due to happen and the tournament was postponed until the cessation of hostilities.

Operating from the Invincible and its surrounding fleet, Steven's squadron was assigned to flying combat air patrols over the fleet. However, the Delarus Islands refused to commit their naval forces to the defence of Stonehenge, believing that other ISAF state members were better placed to support the defence of Stonehenge. To make the situation worse, due to a mix up in their orders, the Invincible was assigned to waters that were five days sailing from the Delarus Islands. As a result, when the Erusians landed on the Islands, the carrier was unable to intervene at the time.

It wasn't until 21/8/2004 that he finally encountered an Erusian military aircraft. A squadron of C-130 Hercules was supplying an Erusian paratrooper regiment that had captured a part of the final island in the chain. Firing an AIM-7 Sparrow at a C-130 Hercules at maximum range, the missile knocked the wing of the transport off and the plane went down. The crew failed to escape from their aircraft.

From that point on, Steven's squadron was heavily involved with providing air support for the retreating ISAF forces and his kill record rapidly grew. During this time, he was to down eight A-10 Warthogs, four AH-64 Apaches, two Saab-35 Drakens and one British Aerospace Jetstream T1.

On the 5/10/2004, his squadron was involved in an attack on Rigley Airbase and his aircraft was damaged by ground fire. He was however, able to down a Mig-21 Fishbed. For the next few months, his squadron was assigned to rhubarb sorties against the Erusian forces occupying the Usean mainland. In this role, he was to down six Mig-23 Floggers, five Mirage IIIs and one UTVA Aero 3 trainer.

On the 23/11/2004, his squadron was involved in the successful attack on Comberth Harbour. It was during this attack that he was wounded in the shoulder and temporarily suspended from flying duties. When he returned, his squadron had re-equipped with F/A-18 Hornets and the squadron was assigned to provide tactical bombing duties in support of the ISAF landings. In this role, he was to down four Mi-24 Hinds and six F-15C Eagles.

On 4/5/2005, he became the second ISAF pilot to down a Yellow squadron aircraft. His opponent, Yellow 14, was killed instantly when cannon shells penetrated his cockpit window.

Shortly after this victory, Steven was sent on a morale boosting tour of North Point cities. Having thoroughly broken the myth of Yellow superiority, he was highly praised as a hero; although to a much lesser extend than Mobius One.

On the 4/5/2005, he was allowed to return to active service, where he discovered that his new reputation meant that his skills were vastly exaggerated. As a result, his squadron was given increasingly difficult missions deep inside Erusian territory, launching from forward land bases. Fortunately, at this stage of the war, the Erusian air defence network was considerably weakened. During these missions, he was to down a further two F-16 Falcon's and one Mig-29 Fulcrum.

On 10/9/2005, Steven's squadron was returned to their carrier and rested in preparation for the invasion of Farbanti. After a well-earned rest and training period, the Invincible was sent to the waters outside Farbanti and on 19/9/2005, the invasion began. Colonel Steven Bradford led his squadron against the submarine bays just outside the city and was involved in the successful destruction of the Erusian submarine Asgard IV. He also downed two Su-37 Terminators and one Mi-28 Havoc.

When the Yellow Squadron arrived over the city, he was climbing away from an attack and was unfortunate enough to fly into the sights of Yellow 6. Yellow Six fired a burst from his 30mm canon and knocked Steven's Hornet out of the sky. Although Steven successfully ejected from his aircraft, he was injured and was forced to spend the next month in hospital.

Colonel Steven Bradford remains in the Delarus Islands Naval Air Service to this day and recently represented the Delarus Islands at the Olympic games in the Tae-Kwon-Do sparring events.

Colonel Steven Bradford is approximately five foot two and has short grey-blonde hair. He is described as having a hard temper, but generally likeable.
