Peter Halcyon was Squadron Commander of the 88th Carrier Wing aboard the TCS Tiger's Claw, and held the rank of Colonel as of mid-2654. As befitting one of his position, Halcyon had his own office aboard the Claw. Halcyon was often forthcoming with praise following a successful mission, but would be equally hard on pilots who failed to complete their objectives. Besides issuing orders to the pilots, Halcyon's other duties included squadron transfers, awarding medals, and overseeing pilot funerals.

Halcyon was a prominent commander of the Terran Confederation Navy during the 2650s. It was his pilots, among them Colonel Christopher Blair, who halted the Kilrathi offensive in the Vega Sector and ultimately liberated that sector from the Kilrathi in 2654 when they destroyed the Kilrathi Sector Command at Venice. Shortly after this victory, Halcyon took part in Operation: Thor's Hammer, in which the Tiger's Claw tracked down and destroyed a Kilrathi fleet that had destroyed the colony of Goddard. Finally, from 2655 to 2656, Halcyon's fighter wing defended the planet of Firekka after the Kilrathi invaded the planet in 2655. The planet was eventually liberated thanks to Halcyon's fighter wing.

Little is known about Halcyon's career after the Defense of Firekka. During the year 2656, the Tiger's Claw was deployed to the Enigma Sector to destroy the Kilrathi Sector Command at K'tithrak Mang. Unfortunately, the Claw was lost with all hands when the vessel was destroyed by Kilrathi stealth fighters. Since there is no evidence to support the theory that Halcyon transferred off of the vessel prior to this engagement, it is safe to presume that the Colonel went down with his beloved ship.
