Chen Kien, aka "Bossman", was a Terran Confederation fighter pilot assigned to the TCS Tiger's Claw. He was born in Kaohsiung, Taiwan in 2615. He held a degree in Aeronautical Engineering from the Confederation Net university system. He was married to Chen Mingxing and had a daughter born in March 2654. Chen was originally known for an irreverent, spontaneous flying style which he abandoned after seeing replacement pilots killed in action attempting to imitate his success. He changed his callsign from "Ripper" to "Bossman" to reflect this appreciation. As of 2654, Kien had 17 years of service with the Terran Confederation Navy during which time, according to Sam, he had flown everything in the terran fleet and destroyed at least one of every class ship the Kilrathi had. He was featured in Pilot Profiles in April 2654, at which time he held the rank of Major.
