William Bradshaw was a Terran Confederation fighter pilot.

First assignement

Upon graduation from the Academy in 2663, Bradshaw requested a front-line assignment on the TCS Concordia in the Enigma sector. The Navy sent him to the TCS Defiance instead: an old Ranger-class carrier in the Surtur system, Gemini.

On the Defiance, Bradshaw continued flying with his Academy-classmates Fabian Schroeder and Jason Beverly. Eventually, he also became romantically involved with one of the other Defiance pilots, Marie LeBlanc. The affair lasted almost a year, but ultimately ended badly. In the eight months that preceded the Defiance's destruction, Bradshaw filed no less than four separate transfer requests, all of them denied.

In early 2666, the Defiance was destroyed during Operation Nightshade, a Confed strike on the Trk'Pahn sector. Bradshaw rallied the remaining pilots, and under his command they managed to complete their assigned mission and land on the TCS Valiant without any further losses.

The subsequent investigation not only cleared Bradshaw and the other Defiance pilots of any wrongdoing in the loss of their carrier, but also concluded that Bradshaw's quick thinking and able leadership may in fact have saved the Valiant and turned the operation from a complete disaster into a partial success.

Bradshaw and Schroeder spent the next few months in the Valiant's Rapier II squadron. When the Valiant was mothballed following the truce agreement, Bradshaw, having won Admiral Terrell's favour after Operation Nightshade, was assigned the Wing Commander position onboard the TCS Lionheart.
