What to CPT Vexan's friends and family really think of her?
Well, first I have to start on a sad note. When I e-mailed
Vexan’s sister, CPT Dontal, I got a reply from their father, SA Renegade,
which said: -
“I
am sorry; I am RTO\SA "Pappy" Renegade\IW (ret), CPT Dontal's and CPT
Vexen's father. I am afraid that CPT Dontal had a very bad tragedy this
past week and is in the hospital. She will be there for a very long
time.”
I am sorry to hear about this, and all of the Battlecry
staff (and probably every EH member) wishes CPT Dontal a quick recovery.
To continue on though, this is what some of CPT Vexan’s
friends and relatives had to say about her: -
I can tell you that I am very proud of what Vexie has done
in the EH. When she has a goal to accomplish, she will work very hard at
seeing it through to the finish.
She has a very high set of values that I like to think I had something to do
with, but her EH career is hers and hers alone. She has never tried to
cash in on the fact that I was considered to be a "legend" in the EH.
She has refused to accept anything in the EH that she did not work for.
In her EH career, she is loyal, dedicated and a go-getter. She has turned
down offers to become a CMDR so she could stay in Typhoon with COL Callista.
RTO\SA "Pappy" Renegade\IW\EH (retired)
Vexie has been in the squad since I joined back in January
1999. I think that says a lot about her loyalty and dedication to the
squad and her CMDR. She's constantly proved her worth and skill,
participating in every comp Typhoon has entered and she seems to go above and
beyond the call of duty on almost a weekly basis! In fact, I can't imagine
a Typhoon without the likes of Callista, Vader and, in particular, Vexie. She
brings activity, humour and a happy atmosphere to the squad and is loved by
everyone. Truth be known, I envy her :P
She's got quite a reputation to live up to, with a successful sister in the IW
and having the illustrious 'Renegade' Pappy to live up to, but if you ask me,
she's done a damn fine job. Considering the EH is composed of mainly
late-teens guys, to find an early-teens girl with such skill and devotion is a
rare but welcome surprise.
Keep flying fast and kicking ass Vexie, this recognition is long overdue.
Just take it easy on that root beer babe ;)

CPT
Vexan is one of the most dedicated officers in the fleet. If she sets a
goal for herself to achieve, you can be damn sure she'll achieve it. It's an
honour to serve with such a fine officer and all-round nice person (to
Imperials, mind you ;-)).
Her
receiving the Grand Order of the Emperor award puts even more emphasis on the
fact that she is one of the most active pilots in the fleet. Her dedication is
an inspiration to all who have the good fortune of getting to know this
outstanding officer. CPT Vexan, I salute you.

FM/LCM Talon Drear/Typhoon 3-4/Wing X/ISD Challenge
When
I first joined Typhoon Squadron about a year ago, Vexie was one of my wingmates
in Flight II, led by the then-LCM Oldham (now an LC - go figure :P). She
was always diligent, intelligent, and an extremely capable pilot, which is
rather a-typical of thirteen-ish-year-old girls...when I was thirteen, most
girls were into cheesy boy bands and stuff like that, swearing they were going
to marry Bobby from the New Kids Take That On The Steps, or whatever (:P), and
wouldn't know a TIE Fighter if it fired a Space Bomb at their house. I
guess that sums up Vexie in a simple fashion. Anything but ordinary. But
that's why we all count her as a friend, because let's face it, Wing X is
anything but ordinary (/Cheap Plug :P)
