Obi

Captain Obi is a minor character featured in the Orion Nero Initiative series as a member of the 1st Infantry BCT and previous commanding officer of Blackjack Company. Obi is only seen a handful of times with his infantry company before his death early on in the series.

Company Commander
Captain Obi is first introduced as the company commander for Blackjack Company, 1st Infantry Battalion of the 1st Infantry Brigade Combat Team. Obi and his company was previously stationed at Kiko Air Base at the beginning of the war, before temporarily being deployed to Fort Connelly. While the platoons of Blackjack Company were spread out across multiple Combat Outposts along the Ansaris-Orion border, Obi was stationed at Fort Connelly with the Company Headquarters and was only referred to a handful of times.

Attack on Almada
Obi leads Blackjack into Almada as the first responders after ACS Ground Forces invade Orion, first by taking out the Combat Outposts, then attacking the city directly. Entering the city, Obi and the main company force breaks away to secure other areas of the city while the story follows the events of 1st Platoon, Blackjack Company.

Sword Base
During the mobilisation into Ansaris, Obi and Blackjack Company are sent to an ACS Airbase as reinforcements for two Special Operations Detachment units that had already infiltrated the base and taken control of its command centre. Obi and his company's objective was to conduct airfield seizure operations by neutralising all ACS threats that would easily outnumber the S-O-D operators.

Operation Fury Scorpion
Obi's last appearance is at the the briefing before the invasion of Lancaster, as part of Operation Fury Scorpion. After the operation brief with the other company commanders of the 1st Infantry BCT, Obi and the other company commanders wager one thousand dollars on the last company commander to reach their designated landing zone.

Obi is never seen again after he boards his Stallion with several members of the Company HQ. Blackjack Company is the company that becomes the most displaced out of all eight 1st BCT companies, with Blackjack's 3rd Platoon being the only ONI force to land at LZ Epsilon, and the rest of Blackjack Company landing elsewhere. Throughout the battle of Lancaster, no one ever saw nor reported Captain Obi's C-7E Stallion landing, and was presumed to be shot down. It was later confirmed that upon entering the city, Captain Obi and the entire Blackjack Company HQ team were shot down by an ACS SAM turret.
