Patrick Bradshaw

Patrick Bradshaw was a Terran pilot of the Terran Confederation. His callsign was "Moose".

Bradshaw served on the TCS Lexington during the Border Worlds Conflict of 2673. During that time he defected to the Union of Border Worlds.

Bradshaw flew a Banshee on a routine patrol in the Peleus System, alongside Bob-O-Matte and Hacker. During this patrol, Bradshaw 's squadron was attacked by a pair of Black Lance pilots flying Confederation F-103 Excaliburs. Bob-O-Matte was killed first, so Bradshaw and Hacker broke formation to attack. Bradshaw engaged one of the Excaliburs and launched a missile against it, however, jamming by Black Lance forces in the area forced it towards Hacker's vessel instead. Hacker disengaged from battle and attempted to evade the missile, but was ultimately shot down.

Bradshaw desperately tried to attack again, but by this point the enemy had jammed his weapons systems. He was then shot down and died when his craft exploded.

Moose is a big, quiet, nice guy, although most people find his size intimidating. In terms of combat experience, he's logged thousands of hours of combat time, but most of the actual combat was the “hot and heavy” variety. He became a fighter because he wanted to see the galaxy first hand, but also “wants to make a difference.” He was the first in his family to enter service rather than work in an industrial field.
