Junjie Chen

Template:Character Infobox Junjie "JJ" Chen was an officer cadet of the UNSC Defense Force.

Biography

One of the few cadets from Earth, Chen attended the Corbulo Academy of Military Science as a freshman of Hastati Squad. Chen's academic performance at Corbulo was exemplary, and he was a keen participant in lectures. However, his scores in combat training were considered sub-par, which he blamed on his maverick squadmate Thomas Lasky. Like almost everyone in the squad he shunned Lasky, considering him an "Innie-lover" for being somewhat sympathetic to Insurrectionist aims.

Chen's father would often message him while he was at Corbulo in response to his performance. Chen took his father's advice to heart, but could be distressed if he felt he had not lived up to his father's expectations.

During the Covenant invasion of Circinius IV in 2526, Hastati Squad was to be evacuated via the Academy's space elevator. However, after the Covenant's destruction of the tether, the squad was caught in the battle between UNSC Marines and the Covenant military. The squad attempted to escape to the Academy's armory with Chen taking point. However, after moving a short distance Chen stopped, realizing that an active camouflaged Sangheili Zealot was standing immediately in front of him. The Zealot impaled Chen with his energy sword, killing him instantly.
