A deeply skilled soldier with experience dating back to the formative years of the empire, serving in Impending Doom I, Admiral Skeet is the current Commanding Officer of the Iken Armada and Captain to the fleet's flagship, Voot II. Beginning his military career as an Invader, charged with preliminary investigation of cited worlds for conquest, Skeet showed promise as a tenacious leader and tactician. During his first campaign, he successfully established a base of operations on the frozen world Acte, the most remote world designated in Impending Doom I, before leading a detachment of the Irken landforce himself once the fleet arrived for invasion. Skeet's tenacious skills and devotion to the empire drew the attention of the then commander of the Irken Armada, Admiral Ichi. Ichi promptly took the young prodigy under his wing, promoting him to his staff on the command deck of the Voot, proud flagship of the fleet. During the interim period between campaigns, Skeet continued to impress and eventually rose to the rank of First Officer of the Voot, and often given charge of the deck on occasions when Admiral Ichi was required to return to Irk to attend the Senate. He continued this role into Impending Doom II, despite his desire to conduct the land assaults as he did during his debut. Drawing towards the end of the immensely successful campaign, the armada was confronted by an amassed fleet of rebel fighters, cruisers and freighters, all originating from the worlds recently conquested by the immense Irken war machine. Though ultimately a futile demonstration, the rebellion succeeded in crippling the looming Irken flagship. As the Voot collapsed around them, the flight deck was struck by a terrible explosion, killing several of the command crew, including Ichi. Taking command of the dying Voot, Skeet ordered the evacuation, and escaped with the surviving crew to the battleship Zorn. With the officers of the fleet in disarray, suddenly left without a leader, the fleet was forced to flee back into Irken space. At the avid recommendation of the surviving command team of the Voot, Skeet was given his own ship and regrouped the crew of the Voot under his wing. Now prioritising the quashing of the rebellion, the fleet conducted several daring attacks on enemy positions and territories. Showing further excellence in the field of battle and proving himself a fitting commander, most notably in the final routing of the rebellion fleet, Skeet was eventually promoted to the position of Fleet Admiral, chief commander of the Armada and ambassador of the Irken Empire, a position which he retains to this day. He also holds a seat on the Irken Senate. With the construction of the new fleet mothership, the Voot II, the Almighty Tallest have appointed Skeet with the preparations for the next and more radical imperial campaign, Operation "Impending Doom III".
