Bao-Huang Qin - Rear Admiral, Alliance Navy - has the distinction of being the only Alliance flag-ranked officer to be both commended and cashiered for his activities in the same engagement.  Qin commanded the ''Phobos,'' a large Alliance battlecruiser and its associated task force of escorts and support ships.<br>  

Early in the war, when it looked like the Independents might pull off a surprise victory, Qin led his task force to defeat a much larger Independent fleet in the Battle of the Halo (the Halo is the asteroid belt around the White Sun system, i.e., the Core).  Rather than immediately return to his post in defense of Bellerophon after the battle was won as ordered, however, Qin kept his task force on station in the Halo for three days recovering Independent escape pods and rescuing Browncoats from their disintegrating ships.<br>

He retained command of his task force for a time after that incident, but the Alliance's overall victory was secured, he was unceremoniously relieved of his duties.<br>

He does not appear to have much in the way of Cortex personal media, though a news article from several years ago does show him standing next to Mattie's father at a business function.<br>
