Born September 9 2011 AE on Picon, Iain Craig was the only child of Commander Aodh Craig and his wife Jeanny. It was apparent during his early childhood that their boy was smart, with a very commendable level of development. Making his parents proud, Iain would always score in the top-few of his classes all throughout his schooling years.
In 2028, at the age of 17, Iain decided he would follow in his father's footsteps and applied for the Colonial Fleet Academy on Picon. Being born into a Military Family and with his exceptional school-records, Iain had no trouble in securing his place within the Academy. Studying late into the nights, he would be again one of the top students in his class. During his studies at the Academy, Iain specialised in Astrophysics, and graduated with a Degree in the field of study.
A few weeks after his 21st birthday, Iain Craig graduated from the CFA and was immediately commissioned as an Ensign to the Battlestar Hyperion (BS-19). There he served as an Ensign Communications Officer for 2 years during 2032 - 2034 AE. Reports from his commanding officers were great with both appreciation and recommendations on his duties during that time.
Mid-2034, Ensign Iain Craig was promoted to the rank Lieutenant Junior Grade, and transferred to the Battlestar Columbia (BS-109). Here he served 4 solid years, between 2034 - 2038 AE, as a Lieutenant JG Communications Officer. However, towards the end of his 4-year-term he was assigned as a Junior Tactical Officer after recommendations by his XO at the time.
At the end of 2038 AE, after his 27th birthday, Iain was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant and re-assigned to the Hyperion as a Junior Tactical Officer. There he would serve another 2 years aboard his first commission (2038 - 2040) as one of the ship's best in the CIC.
At the start of 2040, Iain was transferred to Fleet HQ on Leonis. There he would wait and prepare as the Colonial Fleet's newest and then-hoped-to-be-the-best Mercury-class Battlestar was being constructed. The Battlestar Cerberus (BS-132). He also became a substitute Astrophysics tutor at the Fleet Academy on Leonis during his time planetside.
2041 and Iain is commissioned as a Junior Tactical Officer on the Cerberus. Being almost 30 years of age, he is one of the older and more experienced Lieutenants currently holding the Junior Tactical Officer position.
