Biography

The son of two EDF veterans and enlisted in the Earth Defence Forces at the start of the war against the hydrogues. Robb earned the command of a squadron of remoras in the EDF's Grid 9 fleet and served at Jupiter, Yreka and Boone's Crossing. Robb managed to trace the hydrogues that attacked the colony at Boone's Crossing back to Osquivel. The young man became fast friends with Tasia Tamblyn, despite her Roamer heritage, whilst they were both trainees. Their relationship eventually blossomed, though they could never admit to being truly in love with one another.

Robb Brindle volunteered to act as a diplomat for the Terran Hanseatic League at Osquivel and was presumed dead by the EDF when his transmissions cut off and the hydrogues attacked the EDF fleet. However, Robb was in fact one of a score of human prisoners the hydrogues had taken and he was secured with others in one of the hydrogue cityspheres, where he was forced to suffer years of crushing boredom and fear. He was later reunited with Tasia when she was captured by her own mutinous Soldier compys, and was then rescued (along with all the other POW's) by a wental-infused Jess Tamblyn. His Father, Conrad Brindle, a Reinstated Lieutenant Commander, picked up Robb and Tasia at Osquivel and took them to Theroc, the apparent new centre of government. When they arrived they found no other EDF officers, and plenty of Roamers, Conrad decided to leave and rejoin the EDF at Earth, whilst Tasia and Robb stayed. they were later sent to the Osquivel ship yards to share their experience of the EDF in an attempt to build a new battle fleet to defend the new Confederation.
