Commander Ryan

Introduction
Commander Ryan was the leader of a downed Redwood Industries ship, most likely the Orion. After he and some of his crew survived the initial crash on the planet, they managed to find a small radar facility on a mountain several tens of Kilometers from the "landing" sight of the RWI Eclipse, Admiral Jack Robert's personal flagship. Though the survivors were able to successfully transmit a distress signal under his command, the Shadows soon found the remainder of his forces. Deciding to make a last stand, he was the only survivor of the ensuing battle, and was captured by Admiral Zark. He is never seen again, presumably either executed or under imprisonment in a secret Shadow Base.
