Jack of Harts

Edwin Case was a football star when the Peloran Treatments’ final stages kicked in and made him Ageless. They augmented his already impressive strength to make him a true superhuman hulk, and cost him his sports career and all of his records and awards. He volunteered to serve after that, and everyone expected him to go the infantry path, but he passed the pilot aptitude tests with flying colors. He became one of the largest pilots to ever fly a Hellcat, which is not a large starfighter. I understand that he was very happy when VMFA-214, the Black Sheep, acquired the much larger Avenger-class starfighters. That was in the early months of The War, shortly after we showed everyone what we could do at the Battle of Fort Wichita. When I put out the call for reinforcements to make up our battle losses, Edwin was one of the first to volunteer. It was due to the work he and others like him performed with stalwart courage that we drove the Shang out of our corner of the galaxy and secured peace.
