Okay, I've spent some time this afternoon working on my naval officer, stats and everything plus a small background. I have taken small liberties here and there to make him different from the Guardsman career that I took as the base for this custom career. Seeing as he's a Naval officer I decided to give him the Pilot (Spacecraft)(Ag) skill. I've added a custom starting skill to denote his background: Common Lore (Imperial Navy)(Int) along with Speak Language (Navy Battle Cant)(Int). The only things I'm not so sure about are his ranks (need help on getting good navy ranks) and how to best advance him should he survive his first encounters.

Physical appearance: Male, 29 yrs old, pale skin, black hair, blue eyes. Has a bullet wound scar on his back.
Background: Born as the thirteenth son into the von Darius family of Hive Sicarius. As the member of a noble house his career was cut out for him: he could either work as a farm supervisor somewhere out on the plains of Hesperus or enlist with the Imperial Navy, a family tradition normally only upheld by the second scion of the family. Having nothing to lose or gain on his homeworld Gunther enlisted with the Imperial Navy as a youth, opting to take up a posting as far away as humanly possible from his brothers and sisters already serving in the Navy. For the coming decade he would serve on numerous orbital stations and other facilities, never really finding a place that suits his always inquisitive and questioning mind.
It was while serving as a lowly deck officer on board the Sword Class frigate "Saint Narkiss" during his twelfth year of service that Gunther really stepped into the foreground. He was attached to the vessel to act as an envoy to a visiting inquisitor of the Ordo Hereticus, tasked with seeing that the woman's every request was met as soon as possible. Perhaps the witch finder saw some potential in the officer, for at the end of her journey she requested that he was to be transferred into the care of retinue for an undisclosed time.
Personality: A loyal man who while obedient and direct in following his orders cannot help but question everything around him. He does not mean harm with those questions, he is most curious, something that has gotten him into trouble many times before whilst serving in the Navy.
