Boris Oshankobich was an obvious choice for the Solar Endeavor - the great-grandson of war-hero Anatoly Oshankobich (of Siege of Baixing fame) Podpolkovnik Oshankobich carries fame and legacy beyond his own achievements, though they easily stand on their own. Like his ancestors, Oshankobich is too something of a war hero - commander of the Strategic Corvette R.S. Masorin, his pivotal actions during the New Arkhangelsk Insurrection are well-documented.
Oshankobich is a holder of the Order of Saint George, 4th Class as a result of his ship's brisk defense of the Capital Ship Admiral Flota Tigran Igorevich during the battle of New Arkhangelsk. Oshankobich is a well-known proponent of interstellar colonization, and has returned to military service in order to take up his long-sought role as Admiral of an interstellar ship.
