The Trasens are arguably the most influential family to have ever existed within the Orion Spur, having accumulated a vast network of assets thanks to the founding of NanoTrasen – borne from the Red Planet from which the family hails, being able to trace their roots to the initial colonisation of Mars – that focused on groundbreaking medical innovations such as genetic tampering and even small-scale cloning.

One of the most influential beings in the entirety of the Orion Spur’s history, Xavier Trasen has shaped the progression of humanity (alongside other species) by forming [[NanoTrasen]]. Born to a rather high-ranking naval officer within the [[Sol Alliance|Solarian Alliance]], Xavier was expected to fall into line and enlist; similar to the path that his father had taken during his adolescent years. However, Xavier instead ventures into genetic engineering, securing himself a Bachelor of Science Degree in Genetic Modification at [[Mars University]].

At the age of 21, Xavier went on to found NanoTrasen, having received funding for its establishment through dubious origins; largely attributed by many critics of the man’s success as having been funnelled blood money from his father’s alleged corruption. From there, NanoTrasen rapidly broadened its horizons – though initially focusing on genetics, it would eventually develop into a competitor by a [[Zeng-Hu Pharmaceuticals#Subsidaries|Zeng-Hu keiretsu-funded company]] directed by a fellow classmate that had initially promised Xaiver that he’d work with him, before being poached by the already well-established megacorporation – merely four years after its founding. It cannibalised the smaller companies that it saw as potential competitors, eventually forming a monopoly on the Red Planet. By the late 2390s, NanoTrasen became a household name to many on [[Mars]]; however, it wasn’t until the discovery of phoron that the megacorporation entered a golden age, becoming the megacorporation as it is known today. | |||
Xavier would eventually wed Xiao Jie, a woman whom he had met during the early 2290s attempting to get a foothold within other colonies within the [[Sol Alliance|Solarian Alliance]]. It didn’t come as a surprise to anyone that had known Xavier, recalling the man as a shrewd, brutal negotiator with a brilliant mind for the sciences. Even before his corporation’s monopoly on phoron, Xavier had managed to wield incredible influence over the direction of the Orion Spur within a century, something considered by many to be a miracle of sorts.

The Trasens are arguably the most influential family to have ever existed within the Orion Spur, having accumulated a vast network of assets thanks to the founding of NanoTrasen – borne from the Red Planet from which the family hails, being able to trace their roots to the initial colonisation of Mars – that focused on groundbreaking medical innovations such as genetic tampering and even small-scale cloning. Much of the family’s power and influence can be directly attributed to Xavier Trasen, who founded the megacorporation and pursued domination of competitors with little holding them back. It was the man’s rigorous efforts, and unyielding spirit, that allowed NanoTrasen to flourish into what it is today. The discovery of Phoron in 2352 allowed the megacorporation to establish an early monopoly on the mineral – and hold over the Republic of Biesel. NanoTrasen saw an era of unprecedented, unrestricted expansion commencing shortly after the discovery of the mineral, which only saw a slight decline when the scarcity began to unravel. Despite these setbacks in recent times, NanoTrasen remains dominant within the Orion Spur, with Miranda Trasen manning the helm of both the megacorporation and the Stellar Corporate Conglomerate – of which it forms a pseudo-holding company with the other influential organisations of the Spur.
Xavier Trasen
Born: May 5th, 2321 (Mars)
Died: December 1st, 2402 (Biesel)
One of the most influential beings in the entirety of the Orion Spur’s history, Xavier Trasen has shaped the progression of humanity (alongside other species) by forming NanoTrasen.

Though self-claiming to have been his class’ cum laude in his holobook released by Ingi Usang Entertainment Company, investigative journalists could find no evidence suggesting his claim had any truth to it, despite NanoTrasen maintaining his supposed accomplishment.
At the age of 21, Xavier went on to found NanoTrasen, having received funding for its establishment through dubious origins; largely attributed by many critics of the man’s success as having been funnelled blood money from his father’s alleged corruption.

Miranda Trasen
Born: March 25th, 2413 (Biesel)
Born as a public figure, Miranda was naturally the heir to her grandfather’s fortune. Though she sits as the Acting Director of the Stellar Corporate Conglomerate and maintains her position as Chief Executive Officer of NanoTrasen, Miranda was not always shifting the Orion Spur to the whim of whichever pathway she wished to take. She had always excelled in academics and anything else that she put her mind to. By the time she was eighteen, she had managed to finish a degree in a Bachelors of Science dedicated to Xenogenetics, and by twenty-one, a Bachelors degree in Commercial Law – both awarded by NanoTrasen Academy. In her formative years, she grew up with both Nathan and Darius following the death of their parents. Though cousins, Miranda recalled in interviews she sees the two as her younger brothers.
She is close to both her cousins, having been raised alongside them as if they were siblings. As a byproduct of this relationship, she is also close to their children and can often be seen in the paparazzi’s photos treating them as if they were her own – partaking in their school functions from a young age, even attending many of Melissa’s galas hosted by the “Trasen Development Benefit” and her shows from when she used to model for Idris Incorporated’s subsidiaries that have since dominated the fashion world. Though many have wondered if the ageing Trasen wants children, comments made by close associates have been incredibly vague and confusing, ranging from a desire to avoid the heir-obsession which plagued her grandfather, to a simple inability do to so as a result of some genetic quirk. Miranda herself is utterly silent on the topic, most often claiming that she enjoys the simple refuge of staying close to her extended family, including Melissa, Marcus and Francis.
Though she is remarkably similar in appearance to her mother, Miranda has inherited many of the characteristics that made her grandfather one of the most powerful men of his time: a shrewd sense for business, and an even more phenomenal mind for the sciences. Miranda maintains a graceful composure and pleasant outward disposition, hiding behind her elegant facade when she cuts through it with tactful words. Behind closed doors however, she is a cutthroat executive who sees herself as having no peers, merely subordinates. It is an additude that has caused tension with the other CEOs and even other high-level NanoTrasen staff, however there is little anyone can do against her. She has also repeatedly made her disdain for her grandfather and his "weakness" of not exercising the power of NanoTrasen to its fullest known. Despite her clear disdain for her grandfather, and his perceived weakness, it’s without a doubt that Xavier’s obsession with ensuring Nanotrasen retained its monopoly on phoron is the reason for her monumental success - an irony that has haunted her since birth.
Though not Martian-born, Miranda has repeatedly stated that her family observes Martian customs and traditions – and that Violet Dawn was the singular, most disastrous incident to occur throughout the Orion Spur; both in regards to the lives lost, and the economic losses sustained as a result of the incident. She also admitted feeling sorrowful as she will likely never be able to return to her familial home, believing it was incinerated when Olympia was engulfed by the massive firestorm. Since Violet Dawn, she has appeared somewhat withdrawn from the public spotlight, but this also comes alongside her promotion to Acting Director of the Stellar Corporate Conglomerate. She has often compared the latter tragedy to NanoTrasen’s removal from Solarian space, and that being uprooted from her homeland, while tragic, simply meant she was able to find a new one in Tau Ceti.
Nathan Trasen
Born: July 18th, 2416 (Xanu Prime)
One of Nita’s twins, Nathan was young when his parents passed. Being only four years old, Nathan and his brother Darius were uprooted from their lives, adopted by their uncle and aunts and raised alongside Miranda. It wasn’t easy for the young boy to adapt, and during his formative years was often teased by his peers, quickly beginning to despise the limelight placed on him due to his familial lineage – both from his mother as a notable singer, but also his granduncle’s fame as Chief Executive Officer of NanoTrasen. Though his life was rather busy, Nathan was suddenly given entry into the APEX Military Academy – where he underwent several years of training, developing connections and relationships with the Eridani Private Military Contracting Companies, and even Idris Incorporated. Shortly after graduating from the Joint Military Academies, Nathan found employment within his uncle’s megacorporation, completing his cadetship aboard the NSS Baldr, an asset within the Solarian Alliance responsible for communication between NanoTrasen’s facilities.
Nathan went on to become the Chief Security Director of the entirety of NanoTrasen, appointed by his cousin Miranda after becoming the Chief Executive Officer. He became instrumental in the reformation of the megacorporation’s security forces, who were often viewed as beneath competitors such as the Eridani Private Military Company and Idris Incorporated – despite this, he maintained an amiable relationship with his connections, most notably Alex Mason. Though it is unknown how the two met, Alex Mason and Nathan Trasen have maintained a private friendship since the latter’s days back in the Joint Military Academies. The two’s similar personalities in public, being somewhat reserved and sullen, are likely what brought the two together – as well as their shared experience of being groomed by their respective corporate dynasties.
He wed Eva Tsukiko – an eccentric woman from Konyang – in 2440, welcoming his daughter Melissa three years later, and then a son in 2447. Nathan and Eva have rarely been seen together since his wife’s move back to Konyang to look after her mother, who has seen a rapid health decline since early 2464. Regardless, the couple is said to be privately communicating without the prying eyes of the public, despite allegations by tabloids that they’re separating from one another.
Melissa Trasen
Born: October 14th, 2443 (Biesel)
From the newer generations of Trasens, Melissa made a name for herself by modelling for well-known fashion conglomerates such as Cashien Jewellers and Le Soliel Royal; by the end of her modelling career, Melissa was modelling high-end prosthetics after an elective surgery that replaced her left hand, courtesy of Bishop Cybernetics. Now, with a successful modelling career behind her, Melissa has decided to expand her horizon and join her family in moulding the future of the Orion Spur by managing the “Trasen Development Benefit” - a charity organisation that aims to assist the poor and downtrodden within the Republic of Biesel and abroad, operating closely with the Interstellar Aid Corps. Despite her short time in philanthropy, Melissa’s charitable actions have proven to be a boon for NanoTrasen’s PR. Although considerably younger than her cousin, she is considered a close confidant and advisor to Miranda – who often recalls in interviews that she sees Melissa as a daughter.
Marcus Trasen
Born: 21st June, 2447 (Biesel)
Marcus has maintained a distance from the public eye – mostly at the request of both Miranda and Nathan Trasen, wishing to protect the younger Trasens from the predatory public, creating controversies of simple teenage behaviour. However, since his introduction to the public following his eighteenth birthday, Marcus has become somewhat of a public figure among the youth. Similarly to his sister, Marcus has become an advocate for the less fortunate, but with a particular focus on animals as opposed to people. Touring the newly incorporated Corporate Reconstruction Zone, Marcus has been seen ensuring that ecological damage has been kept to a minimum – something supported by his cousin, Miranda. He has recently been given leadership of the “Trasen Environmental Protection Charity”, which has been seen across both Mictlan and Port Antillia as an interstellar organization seeking to preserve unique ecologies. Marcus is currently studying for a combined degree in Environmental Sciences and Terraforming Engineering and has announced plans to pursue a career in NanoTrasen, ensuring the megacorporation does its part in protecting the various ecologies of the planets that they have facilities across.
