Other info:

Eddard Stanton was born into a military family on Picon. His mother died when she gave birth to him, due to unexpected complications. His father eventually remarried, but he never showed much affection to his youngest son.

It was expected that Ed would follow in his parents’ footsteps, and this he did. While his brother plotted a fairly atmospheric course up the ranks of the Colonial military, Ed’s attitude no doubt contributed to being fairly constantly overlooked for promotion and regularly stuck in backwater posts.

Eddard’s life was somewhat leavened by meeting his future fiancé, Alyssa, a civilian weapons researcher he met at one of his posts. Of course, life in the military throws up its own difficulties, and, by the time of the attack, Alyssa was half a system away, working on a six month placement on Caprica. Their wedding had been due that year, the year of his 34th birthday, when he had reached the rank of Captain.
