While waiting to be sold by the Free Fleet as livestock, the [[Vendal]] attacked the ship holding the inmates. Once again, Maddox lead the Humans through the ordeal by sheer force of will causing the Free Fleet to recognize the potential of the Humans for military use. He along with the remnant of the Humans enlisted with the Free Fleet.

In the coming years, he and the rest of his fellow former inmates were given intense training. Many not only failed the training but lost their lives in the process, but those who endured are now lead by Captain Maddox Khan as the Omega Company, one of the most feared divisions of the Free Fleet.

In 30 A.E. Commander [[Mezer Juul]]'s flagship was destroyed in battle by the [[Bushraki]] during the [[Bushraki War]]. Maddox and [[Akari Lane]] took over as co-Commanders of the [[Free Fleet]], which was especially notable as [[Humans]] were a very small minority in the Fleet.
 
In 35 A.E., Maddox and [[Akari Lane|Akari]] defeated the [[Bushraki]] and [[Vendal]] with the help of the newly-formed [[Song Dominion]] thus ending the [[Bushraki War]].
 
By 50 A.E., Maddox and [[Akari Lane|Akari]] were aging, and retired. Their 36 year old daughter, [[Tamiko Lane Khan]] took over as Commander of the [[Free Fleet]].
 
In 76 A.E., Maddox and [[Akari Lane|Akari]] came out of retirement and defected with a substantial portion of the [[Free Fleet]] to the [[Celestine Ascendancy]], to offer them assistance in defeating their power-mad daughter [[Tamiko Lane Khan|Tamiko]].
 
In 81 A.E. [[Tamiko Lane Khan|Tamiko]] had her mother [[Akari Lane|Akari]] assassinated by introducing a fatal toxin into the mix of chemicals injected into Akari during a planetside rejuv treatment.
 
Enraged, Maddox threw caution to the wind and eventually crushed his daughter's forces. [[Tamiko Lane Khan|Tamiko]] was captured and brought to the [[Celestine Ascendancy]] for trial.
 
Maddox declared that he would not stand in the way of whatever justice was decided for his daughter, that he would not permit the [[Celestine Ascendancy]] and the [[Song Dominion]] to resume their war against each other, and that he'd had enough of this 'government bullshit' and that these governments were just as bad as the ones back on Earth that had stuck him mining frozen hydrogen on some god-forsaken moon in the middle of nowhere. He was going to leave, and he was taking his [[Free Fleet]] with him.
 
[[Tamiko Lane Khan|Tamiko]] was executed via firing squad at dawn the next day. Those who knew him well say they watched Maddox turn into an old man as his daughter's lifeless body tumbled to the ground.
 
==Scatterhome==
 
For nine years, the Maddox and the [[Free Fleet]] searched for somewhere suitable to live. Ideally, they wished to find a system with at least one broadly-habitable planet that was unoccupied, but none they found met their requirements, and eventually, with resources running low, they agreed to establish a permanent civilization in an asteroid field. These asteroids were found to be rich with raw materials, that they could trade for other supplies, and as a bonus many of the asteroids were nothing but huge chunks of water ice, which could be broken down into its component atoms for oxygen and fuel, or melted to supply the burgeoning civilization with water. Effectively, they had found a source of recoverable water larger than anything a planet could provide.
 
There, Maddox declared, they would construct [[Scatterhome]], and did.
 
In 93 A.E. Maddox, arguably the most important [[Humans|Human]] in the history of that race, died. He and his wife [[Akari Lane]] had essentially saved the Human race.
 
They will never be forgotten.
 
 


The men and women of Omega Company hold Captain Khan in the highest regard and show the utmost loyalty to him, even more so than [[Mezer Juul|Commander Mezer Juul]]. [[Kemran James|Sergeant Kemran James]] even going as far as to refer to him as "God".
