"This is Commander Cadigan to all hands. We have been boarded by hostile forces. Hostiles are alien - repeat, alien - and extremely dangerous! All personnel, to arms. Fire at will!"
—Cadigan to the crew of the USM Valor.[1]

F. Cadigan was a Marine of the Earth Defense Force and the commander of the USM Valor, charged with Operation: WHITE LIGHT in the Aegis system.

Biography[]

At some point after the USM Valor entered the Aegis Cluster, Isaac Clarke successfully launched an S.O.S. beacon which the ship's crew immediately picked up. En route to the USG Ishimura, they intercepted an escape pod that had been launched from the Planet Cracker. Unfortunately, the pod contained a Necromorph Slasher: the reanimated form of Aiden Chen.

It is unknown exactly what occurred aboard the USM Valor, but, though Kendra Daniels attempted to warn Commander Cadigan and his crew not to open the escape pod, by the time the ship reached the USG Ishimura, the majority of the ship's Marines were either dead or infected. However, Commander Cadigan did manage to alert his crew to the presence of the Necromorphs, signifying that he at least was able to respond to the attack.[1]

It is presumed that Cadigan died before Isaac Clarke entered the Valor.

Cadigan's message to the Ishimura.

While there is little known about Commander F. Cadigan, given his assignment, he was likely a good commander and a level-headed man, being able to calmly order his Marines to prepare for combat after a Necromorph attacked.
