Sven Howard wanted to be an SFC captain from the time he was two years old and by age five, was building and launching drones, missiles and jets. By the time Sven was a teenager, he was secretly flying in small jets with an instructor after school. Sven graduated from high school two years early and was the youngest enrollee ever accepted into the Space Fleet U (SFU) Space Flight Program. His goal to command his own space vessel was well underway, along with the aspiration to be the youngest and fastest to make Captain in SFC history. Over a thousand officers threw their hats in the ring for the center seat of the ESS Destiny, but Space Fleet Command (SFC) Colonel Phil Nichols knew Sven Howard was the perfect candidate for the mission. Captain Howard was in the shipyard every day during construction and knew everything about the Destiny, from stem to stern, including the placement of each piece of equipment in every department. He worked with Chief Engineer Greta Gerig-Martin to adapt all known engineering methods to make their Quantum Ion Propulsion System (QIPS) safe, efficient and the fastest ship in space.
