Supreme Commander Lockhart looked up from his bead it St. Reeves memorial hospital.

"Tell my children that ill always be with them"

His senior aid Gus Fellhoelder looked down at him.

"You will get to tell them yourself sir."

The Commander had been suffering from a tumor in the middle of his brain and although The Federations medical tech was advanced it couldnt operated on a tumor this embedded within the brain.

As the Supreme Commander took a final look around his room he looked Gus right in the eye and uttered.

"I lived to see victory and i die knowing its here to stay"

At that moment the Commander closed his eyes and left this world for one far better.

A junior aid Megan Thompson ran out of the room crying. The commander was a nice man and everyoen would miss him very much.

He rose to Supreme commander of Federation forces after beating the Deaded Kulli Emipre for freedom in a bloody 2 year battle that raged over 3 of the 4 Federation planets. He was decordated with 33 WIC Stars (Similar to the Purple Heart) 12 Crosses of Bravery (Silver Star) And 2 Royal Honors (Congressional Medal of Honor)

He led the infamous battle on The Mandark Planet in the City of KushiGrad renamed Kerballah after the war and now the Federations capital.

He was shot 4 times in the battle but managd to lead his troops to ulitmate victory with substansial losses.

He was the most respected officer in the Federation and he will be missed bery much....


----1 Day later------


Following the Death of Supreme Commander Lockhart the Prime Minister made a short speech from his home outside Kerballah.

"Citizens of The Planet Federation i speak to you tday with a heavy heart and much sorrow for our nation has lost a great Commander and a good friend.....The Ulitmate of patriots for without him we might still be living under a Dictatorship.

Supreme Commander Lockhart passed away Yesterday in a hostpital suffering from a Brain tumor. He was a good friend to Myself and The Planet Federation. Although he will be missed his legacy will go on.

After his death I appointed Admarial Baker of STARFLEET to airse to the position of Supreme Commander of Federation Forces he has accepted the job.

A funeral will be heal on Liberty Square in 4 days for all citizens who wish to pay the Commander their final respects.

I have placed the title Hero of the Revoultion on the Passed Supreme Commander and over the next few days i will be meeting with the Ministers to discuss the best way to remeber and honor his presence faith sweat and blood he gave to help give us our freedom.


--Three Days Later---

Prime Minister looks across the table at the Senior budget Advisor.

"Are you sure we can pull this off?"

"Yessir it will require some help from the international community but i think that will not be a problem"

"Ok ill adress the nation."
