Yao Jeng

Yao Jeng is the Commanding Officer of the AEON Chikuma, a Frigate in the AEON Navy.

History
Yao was born and raised on Earth by two civilian parents. His main influence in joining the military came from his uncle, Lieutenant Micheal Delvo. Lt. Delvo would tell great stories of his adventures in the UNSC every time he came home during shore leave. He served aboard a UNSC Frigate that explored new areas of space and also fought against human rebels.

Yao joined the UNSC OCS program at age eighteen in hopes to join his uncle, now a Lieutenant Commander, in his adventures in space. By now the Human-Covenant War had been going on for thirteen years and Yao wanted to help save humanity along side his uncle. After all, the UNSC Command said the war was going very well for the human race, so there wasn't much danger. However, in the last year of OCS, Yao recieved word that his uncle had died in a battle against the Covenant.

Despite the loss of his influence, Yao stayed with the UNSC Navy until 2555, when Lieutenant Commander Jeng left the UNSC to join AEON. AEON promoted Yao to full Commander and gave him command of the Frigate Chikuma. Lieutenant Commander Janet Piltho was assigned to be his executive officer, the two got along very well. In almost two years time, Yao and Janet became so close that Yao was considering proposing to her.

In early 2557, that consideration ended when Janet was killed in a battle with the Covenant. To this day Yao has refused a new executive officer.
