Rethan, Belost, and my Destiny boy Maxim.

Most people here don't know Aries or Maxim (my Destiny boys) but I still love them so much X) Maxim is a Guardian who was stranded fighting on an alien planet for hundreds of years who forgot all manners, customs, and even barely remembers how to speak.

When Ethan said his whole "I'm a single guy with a time-consuming job and a life-limiting condition" thing, what if Rash replied "If being single is your problem then you just need someone to help you with Bodhi and you would take him back? I'll help you." And Ethan agrees and he goes to talk to Pen and Ashley and eventually he gets Bodhi back full time and Rash moves in to help out.

Bodhi starts to call Rash 'dad' too and when he starts school he talks about his two dads and so naturally the teachers just assume that Ethan and Rash are together. Meanwhile, they are actually totally oblivious to this, and totally oblivious to the fact that they basically act like a married couple, even sharing a bed because they both have trouble sleeping (trauma y'know).

Raiders who are meant to be dropped directly into enemy lines in battlefields and to board enemy vessels are generally pretty easy to spot walking around a ship. They're hulking monsters who spend almost more time in the gym than they do training.

While Trackers still tend to be very well built, albeit smaller than Raiders, they tend to have extraordinarily fast metabolisms because of the inhuman amounts of cardio they do. It's even kind of a gag that Trackers eat as much as Raiders while being smaller but still end up with significantly less body fat.

In fact with rough estimates for Belost, just to maintain his weight he would need to eat almost 5,000 calories per day with between 130 - 300 grams of protein. Another way to put it is that Belost would need to eat about 36 chicken breasts per day just to maintain his weight.

bea comes back, realises rash fancies ethan and plays matchmaker

(Battle flag of the 4th Galra Raider Company  “Rethan’s Raiders”)

The 4th Galra Raider Company: Originally known as the “Fearsome Fourth”, the 4th Company was one of several Raider units deployed to the Sion Versa Campaign. While most Raider units are known for extreme acts of heroism and are propped up as the epitome of Galra ideals, the 4th distinguished themselves for something very different. During the campaign the 4th company fell victim to an ambush and became the first and only Raider unit in history to retreat.

Despite their later efforts to regroup and continue with their mission, word of their retreat traveled fast and the “Fearsome Fourth” became unofficially branded as “Coward Company.” News reached Galra High Command and the 4th was immediately disbanded upon their return from Sion Versa. Leadership was removed and prior service in the 4th was considered a stain on a soldier’s reputation. The stigma even became so great that some dropped out of the military altogether.

The 4th’s shame extended to more than just the company, though. The Raiders as a whole felt the blow of one of their own units being disbanded due to cowardice. In a bid to restore their honor General Mos Stomton, founder of the Raiders, personally assigned the decorated Captain Rethan Shoste as the new lead of the reformed 4th Company.

Rethan’s first order of business was to remove the “Coward Company” nickname. The 4th was trained to take the Raider’s shock trooper role to the extreme and he quickly made a name for himself by personally leading drop pod assaults from within enemy lines. This made retreat virtually impossible and made attack their only option. Their assaults became so aggressive to the point of near-suicide that the 4th Company became known as “Butcher Company” before receiving its official nickname “Rethan’s Raiders.” It would go on to become one of the most decorated units in the Empire itself.
