Rodney Brunet

"Miner" was a pilot on the TCS Lexington in 2673. While the Lexington was stationed in the Masa System, Captain William Eisen and Major Todd Marshall defected to the Union of Border Worlds, prompting the belligerent Captain Hugh Paulsen to launch a pursuit team. Miner was a part of Colonel Christopher Blair's wing, and his wingmen included Troy Carter and Winston Chang.

During the pursuit, Chang, Carter, and Blair defected to the Border Worlds out of loyalty to the Captain. Recognizing their defection, Miner attempted to shoot down his wing, but was overwhelmed and forced to eject when his Hellcat V was shot down.
