Age: Mid 50'sSidney Sitolet is best known as the no-nonsense commander of the Free Planets Alliance's Combined Forces, operating out of the Strategical Planning Center on Heinessen. He came up through the ranks as a military academy instructor before climbing to the top—a background that shows in his approach. Fans often note he's tough but fair, someone who actually cares about doing things right even when it's not popular.
The guy has a pretty tense relationship with Secretary of Defense Job Truniht, and doesn't hide his disapproval. When the Alliance launched that disastrous invasion into the Empire, Sitolet was right there in the thick of it (episodes 12-16), but the whole mess took its toll. He eventually stepped away from active duty.
He's made brief appearances in other materials, including the OAV "Golden Wings," but the invasion arc and his command of the fleet remain his defining moments in the series.
