Admiral Constanza Q. Stark was the last High Guard Chief of Staff and founder of the Templars. She is the aunt of Sara Riley and Dylan Hunt's former commanding officer. Throughout Dylan's career, Stark had been sending him on dangerous missions such as the search for the Vase of Rimni or the removal of the dangerous dictator of the planet Mobius. Stark promoted him to the rank of Captain after the mission on Mobius and promoted the officer that he had worked with, Gaheris Rhade, to the position of his first officer. With both men's promotions they were also given command positions on the Systems Commonwealth starship Andromeda Ascendant. ("Forced Perspective")
