Background
Walter Ulysses Stanik was born on Dec. 4, 2324 and raised by his grandmother on Earth. Growing up with a teacher, he took an early interest in history. He attended the I.S.F. Military Academy on Cliptorgia, specializing in aerospace engineering, where he began a very public relationship with fellow recruit, Demaria Cole, heiress to Pan Motion Industries.
Space Cadets Initiative
Walter Stanik was selected in 2350 to be Captain of the introductory Space Cadets Initiative. After crossing the Barrier at Checkpoint 1193-S on June 11, 2352, the ISF Explorer was never heard from again. Nearly a year later, Captain Alaborap returned from the dead to announce that he’d marooned the Space Cadets on an alien planet. On August 1, 2353 the ISF publicly acknowledged the Cadets as “Missing In Action.”
Pan Motion Industries, Demaria Cole
Walter had a complicated and highly publicized relationship with Demaria Cole during their years at the ISF Military Academy. Damien Cole, former CEO of the corporation, was a firm supporter of Walter captaining the first Space Cadets mission.
