=Overview=
This is a page dedicated to notable Humans across the Orion Spur. These are the most influential and important individuals whose actions sway the galaxy and its history at large.


==Pre-Alliance Earth==
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
=The Trasen Family=
The top of the food chain, the Trasen family’s status is legendary on the galactic scale. Virtually everybody has heard of them, and their monopoly over Phoron and stranglehold over Tau Ceti has raised them to be the most influential and powerful individuals in Human history.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
==Miranda Trasen==


===Samuel Grey Feather (1949 - 2021)===
'''Birthdate : 25 March, 2413'''


Samuel Gris Diaz-Carmona, also known as "The Father of PMCs", was an immigrant along with his family to the United States from Spain, Samuel and his family were assigned the surname of "Feather" to better Americanize and suit the family's integration into the country. Samuel and his family grew up in the period of tension during the Cold War. Prior to the start of the Sino-Soviet War, Samuel was drafted at the age of 18 for active service in the United States Army, and provided combat support for Chinese resistance fighters against Soviet invaders in Northwestern China. Two brief tours and an honorable discharge later with the final rank of Staff Sergeant, Samuel became an entrepreneur and "private security organizer", considering his distaste for the Sino-Soviet conflict and disappointed that the thematic of the Cold War, that being conflict deterrence, should've prevented the war from flaring up in the first place. This set of opinions would soon change with the advent of the Proxy Wars.
Wealth beyond belief is hardly the characterizing trait of Miranda Trasen, who alone has held together the Phoron monopoly for the years after her father’s death in 2443. Maintaining a strong public image is among her greatest efforts, to grand success - the “good deeds” of NanoTrasen have spread word across Human space like wildfire since her rise to power. This is of course in desperation to mend the shattered reputation of NanoTrasen amongst the Frontier worlds that have come to despise the megacorporation, though whether the wealthiest woman alive has better aspirations than exploiting them is up for debate. Miranda has managed to establish footholds in the Coalition of Colonies’ space itself, branching out far and wide across the galaxy.


Alongside his unit and several other trusted men within his company, Samuel formed the Grey Feathers, initially a local private security firm with a fair deal of military and gunsmith contacts in addition to licensing as a legal private security unit. The Grey Feathers' first jobs were particularly geared protecting transport trucks for high-profile banks and other low-key organizations moving valuable possessions.
Miranda’s insistence on an outwards-facing smile has not kept her corporation out of a negative light, and weekly scandals are bound to be numerous for something so enormous. Nor has it managed to keep the press out of her daily dealings. Every move made outside of protected corporate property is tracked incessantly, with each step into new territories being either celebrated or rued with the public at large. Reasonably, Miranda can rarely be seen outside of the highest echelons of the corporation’s most secure facilities and ships with this in mind.  


The organization soon grew in national strength, numbers and fame by the 80s, with Samuel at its head planning for more international involvement. The SGF would commonly receive contracts from steel and oil companies across the globe for asset protection deals, and would pay very lucratively. The SGF would be wealthy enough by the end of the 80s to be able to fund its own Research and Development department for new equipment and weaponry to give its mercenaries an advantage over other PFs.
==Nathan Trasen==


By the 90s, the SGF found itself being fielded by the United States government by way of operation leasing contracts. The employees within SGF found itself taking higher risks but with markedly higher pay than when they were fielded by corporations for simple asset security jobs, further fueling the coffers of the SGF.
'''Birthdate : 18 July, 2416'''


By the war's end, his net worth was approximately $7.0 billion USD, and was declared Man of the Decade by TIME magazine in 2010.
Part of the Trasen family, Nathan Trasen also holds a high-ranking position in NanoTrasen. Unlike his cousin, Nathan has the fortune of not being in the spotlight-- but, despite this, he always puts on his best smile in public, almost unsettlingly so. Responsible for the security of the entire corporation, Nathan knows everything that goes on in the company. He is the man behind recent reforms to NanoTrasen’s station security forces, which were previously regarded as second-rate to their competitors in the Eridani Private Military Company and Idris Incorporated. However, Nathan has continued to employ contractors aboard NanoTrasen’s security stations for security purposes, and is known to maintain friendly relations with the Chief Security Officers of other megacorporations.


==Sol Alliance==
==Melissa Trasen==
===Kambiz Entezam (2220-2279)===


Kambiz Entezam, hailing from the Earth continent of Africa, was the Sol Alliance Prime Minister from 2260 to 2270. He was voted in prior to New Years, in September of 2260. Months into his first term came the Second Great Depression, a misfortune that many never saw coming. During these turbulent times, Prime Minister Entezam passed the bill to funnel credits to Zeng-Hu and Einstein Engines, successfully saving the companies and allowing them to swallow up the smaller one which received no bail outs.
'''Birthdate : 14 October, 2443'''


Kambiz is often attributed to starting the First Interstellar War, thus earning much vilification throughout his terms and later on in life. Kambiz signed a bill allowing all non-Sol colonies in the Sol Alliance space to allow higher taxes and raise tariffs on shipping in a attempt to bail out the economy. This move caused many outliers of the Alliance to begin to criticize and decry the Sol Alliance's authority on humanity. Upon hearing that many outlier colonies banded together and refused to pay tax, Kambiz ordered the navy to be expanded and to arrest any civilian leaders who refused to pay their tariffs. These acts eventually led to the Jamestown massacre and subsequent war by the freshly formed Coalition of Colonies.  
Melissa Trasen is the media personality of the Trasen family, with frequent appearances on the ETX Network. A widely recognized celebrity in human and even Federation space, Melissa is - according to the Mendell City Bugle - the Orion Spur’s youngest trillionaire. Melissa is the largest stockholder in WetSkell from the Trasen family, a factoid that Miranda prefers to keep hidden from members of the Big Five. Her NanoTrasen-brand fashion and cosmetics conglomerate known as Wear Like Melissa, constructed with the assistance of Idris Incorporated (which, admittedly, takes most of its profits), has proven to be wildly successful in the Republic of Biesel and has contributed to her becoming the Spur’s youngest trillionaire.


Upon the end of his second term, Kambiz left office seen as a farce. Much of the Sol Alliance resented him for what was seen as inept handling of the Second Great Depression and Coalition situation. After the outbreak of the First Interstellar War, Kambiz was shot in a home invasion by a Coalition sympathizer and buried with the fullest honours of the Sol Alliance.
==Xavier Trasen (2325-2443)==


Kambiz is often seen as a failure to the modern day, and a symbol of Sol Alliance Imperialism, aggression, and totalitarianism.
'''Birthdate: 5 May, 2325'''
'''Death: December 1, 2443'''


===Governor Richard Hawkins (2231-2267)===
Xavier Trasen, at a young age, went on to shape the progression of humanity and many others by forming the gene therapy company of Nanotrasen. From there, Nanotrasen began to rapidly broaden it's horizons. Chemistry, cloning, medical-care, arms productions, botanical research, and [[Xenoarcheologist|xeno-archaeology]], under his arm NanoTrasen began to overshadow other companies and rivals with it's rapid progression and development. Xavier would die the galaxy's richest man, passing on his position to his daughter, Miranda Trasen.

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
=Big Five=
Known commonly as the “Big Five,” these are the chief executives of the megacorporations, and without a doubt the richest people in the galaxy aside from the Trasens.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
 
==Titanius Aeson==
 
'''Birthdate : 12 May, 2430'''
 
An odd case amongst megacorps,  the “Fighting Titan” of Hephaestus Industries is a former lower-level foreman on a Hephaestus orbital  platform that has, through dedication and cunning, worked his way up to the top of Hephaestus. Aeson is a respected, and slightly feared, figure in Hephaestus that cuts an imposing figure at two meters and height and a build resembling one of Hephaestus’ G2 robots.  A booming voice and infamous love of cigars contributes to Aeson’s reputation as a literal titan of industry. Aeson’s status as a man that rose from the ranks is why the modern Hephaestus Industries is viewed as one of the better companies to work for in the engineering sector, with significant benefits being given to retain workers and ensure even hazardous work is done.
 
==Liqin Hsiao-Li==
 
'''Birthdate: 16 August, 2354'''
 
One of the smartest living humans in the Orion Spur, Doctor Hsiao-Li secured her position as the head of Zeng-Hu Pharmaceuticals through ability rather than family relations, and has seen Zeng-Hu secure significant shares of the human and skrellian biotech markets under her watchful eye. Hsiao-Li has a reputation as an extremely strict woman, even amongst Zeng-Hu Pharmaceutical board members, that does not tolerate failure. This has worked wonders for the reputation of the company’s workers, as one screw-up is enough to get them fired, but has made Zeng-Hu Pharmaceuticals a much more stressful company to work for than its main competitor of NanoTrasen. However, should an employee show success, Hsiao-Li rewards it.


Richard Hawkins, a Jamestown native, was the Governor of the colony of Jamestown and a martyr of the Coalition of Colonies which had formed after his death. Upon hearing of new taxes and tariffs to be placed on all non Sol colonies, Hawkins was among the first to speak out against it. Believing the tax to be a injustice done by a totalitarian government Hawkins was successful in convincing other politicians and colonies to speak out against it. Eventually refusing to pay any tariffs and tax, he was promptly ordered to be arrested by the Sol Alliance government.
==Noella Lopez-Zhang==


When the Alliance 12th fleet's Military Police attempted to forcefully arrest Governor Hawkins on Jamestown, they ran into conflict with the local militia. After a fire-fight which saw numerous wounded and 2 killed, the local militia was successful in forcing back Sol Alliance invaders. Without consulting Sol Government, the 12th fleet quickly declared Jamestown to be in secession and invaded once again. A detachment of marines massacred the local militia around the the capital building, capturing Hawkins. Hawkins was later tried and executed not by a judge, but by the Admiral of the 12th fleet herself. Clearly insubordinating the Sol Alliance Government. This promptly led to the formation of the Coalition of Colonies and the Interstellar war.
'''Birthdate : 12 December, 2408'''


Today Richard Hawkins is seen as a martyr for many humans, with much respect within the Outer and Frontier colonies.
A genius researcher and cutthroat businesswoman,  Dr. Lopez-Zhang is respected throughout Einstein Engines as the woman that saved the oldest megacorporation in the Orion Spur from utter destruction by radically restructuring the company in the mid-2400s. Under Lopez-Zhang’s steady leadership, Einstein has set about recovering much of its market share. Presently, it stands able to challenge NanoTrasen in several engineering fields and has become a major threat to Hephaestus Industries. Dr. Lopez-Zhang and Titanius Aeson are known to have an infamously sour relationship.


===Prime Minister Miles Theodore Chater (Born 2413)===
==Alex Mason==


Miles Chater, hailing from Luna, is the head of the Sol Alliance GAIA party and current Prime Minister of the Sol Alliance. Voted in during a snap election during the Unathi Crisis of 2457, inaugurated on June 30th, 2457. At the age of 46 Miles is among the youngest of the Sol Alliance government, and one of the younger Prime Ministers of the Sol Alliance.
'''Birthdate : 6 September, 2425'''


Despite pushing legislation to benefit the middle class and improving education systems across the Sol Alliance Territories, Miles Chater is often heavily criticized for his lax views on independent systems, Xeno Immigration, and Xeno governments. Much of this criticism coming from the ATLAS party.
Known for their (seemingly) fantastic relationship with the Trasens, Alex Mason was brought into the Idris family at a young age and quickly became the heir to the chief executive position of Idris Incorporated with no clear rhyme or reason. While the family had ensured their own blood led the company for hundreds of years, the sudden change of heart was seen as a shock to the public when it ended up in Mason’s hands in 2453. Since then, the young man has made little change to the corporate structure - Idris is the same as it’s always been, while Mason sits on a fortune. He is known to be deceptive at heart, with a substantial record of holding up to Idris’ brutal business tactics.  


===Senator Michael Watkins (Born 2383)===
==Kazimir Boytsov==


Michael Watkins, a native of the militaristic and xenophobic world of Europa, is the current head of the Sol Alliance ATLAS party. After losing to Miles Theodore Chater during the snap election of 2457, he later formed a coalition with the GAIA party despite the differences between the two parties. Despite his advanced age, Michael Watkins shows no signs of slowing down his political drive.
'''Birthdate : 2312'''


Michael Watkins is often the source of controversy within the ATLAS party. From his heavy support of the Sol Alliance Navy, to believing in forcefully annexing the unathi and tajara worlds, Michael Watkins has a reputation of acting "Unfit for government". Some examples being insulting numerous xeno ambassadors, sexually harassing 2 interns while in office at the age of 54, and proclaiming that the Interstellar Aid Corps should halt aiding the unathi homeworld of Moghes.
Kazimir Boytsov is chief among the most infamous arms manufacturers in the galaxy. Born in early 2312, they’re known for their wisdom in their age, and developed Necropolis Industries around in the view of his father. Loyal to his family’s agenda above all else, he seeks to guide the hand of conflicts in the Frontier - and any that may crop up between political entities - to turn out the maximum, most selfish profit possible. By no means an upstanding individual. In 2462, Boytsov fell into a coma - likely as a result of his old age - and was replaced by Dr. Lydumila Zavodskoi as CEO.


===Phoebe Essel (Born 2428)===
==Lydumila Zavodskoi==


Phoebe Essel, hailing from the Earth moon of Luna, is a surgeon and xenobiologist who had led the discovery of first contact with the Vaurca species. She was able to successfully speak to a Vaurca drone through usage of a personal AI and then later went on to win a Nobel prize for her efforts. In honour of her, the official Sol scientific name for the Vaurca remains 'Vaurcae Esselis'.
'''Birthdate: 2398'''


==Biesel==
Dr. Lydumila Zavodskoi rose to power as the CEO of Necropolis Industries following the entry of her predecessor into a coma. She has dramatically restructured the company away from Boytsov’s focus on genetics to concentrate primarily on arms development, with the aim of forcing Hephaestus Industries out of the arms market, and the expansion of IPC employees into every area of human space aside from the Empire of Dominia. The nature of her restructuring is so dramatic that she has opted to rename Necropolis to Zavodskoi Interstellar, in order to move away from Boytsov’s legacy. Dr. Zavodskoi herself is a private person, primarily working behind the scenes, but is said to be very shrewd and intelligent with a remarkable ability to play corporate politics. Interstellar observers worry that Dr. Zavodskoi may turn out to be as cutthroat, if not more so, than her predecessor when it comes to supplying conflict zones.

=Republic of Biesel=
These are individuals relevant to the [[Republic of Biesel]].
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">


===President Joesph Dorn (Born 2410)===
==President Joseph Dorn==


President Joesph Dorn is the current President of the Republic of Biesel, serving his second term. Dorn is a Biesel native, hailing from the city of Phoenixport before moving to the capital of Mendell city. Initially voted in at 2452 at the age of 42, Dorn was later re-elected in 2457, winning in a landslide victory.
'''Birthdate: 9 January, 2406'''


However, Dorn's presidency is strife with controversy and criticism. Many voters alledging that he had faked the election results, outcries of xenophobia and synthetic hatred, and NT corruption to name a few. And now with the trade embargo, many Biesel citizens are wondering if Dorn was the best choice to lead them.
Current President of the Republic of Biesel, Dorn has led the small nation through a series of threats to its continued existence ranging from Lii’dra to the Sol Alliance Navy. While one of the most respected political figures in the young Republic, some are concerned that Dorn will not be able to maintain a firm hold on it considering its repeated disasters and extremely diverse population, and the Republic’s close connection to business interests such as NanoTrasen. In the upcoming election, he will doubtlessly face firm opposition. Only time will tell if President Dorn will keep his position despite criticisms of his recent handing of District Six and the Jargon Federation’s incursions into Biesel space.

=Coalition of Colonies=
These are individuals relevant to the [[Coalition of Colonies]].
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
==Chief Representative of the Coalition Reilly Sianne==


==Eridani Federation==
'''Birthdate: 18 March, 2421'''


===Emanuel Alimayu (Born 2418)===
Formerly a farmhand on Xanu, Reilly is the first Chief Representative of the newly reformed Coalition of Colonies. A staunch Xanu proponent of trade, she has pushed for more anti-piracy patrols in the Coalition’s south, near Zaurghis, and has advocated that the Coalition should expand its influence into the neutral zone formally. Sianne is, furthermore, a proponent of more megacorporation presence in the Coalition - a stance that has brought her into conflict with some planets within the Coalition. Sianne’s personality is difficult to decipher, with almost all of her own time dedicated to expanding on her political career. She is seen as a shut-in in this regard, with little in the way of social connections - in part due to her being elevated to the position by external forces and plucked out of a once-peaceful rural town life in her childhood.
 
==Iraiya, the Queen in Blue==
 
'''Birthdate: Unknown'''
 
Sat upon the throne of the King’s Omen is the young Iraiya, known by the Scarabs and in the Frontier as the “Queen in Blue.” She is the descendent of Apollo Kagwa, the lone man who led the Scarabs to unification during the Lost Years. She is known for her excessive caution and compassion for her kin, embodying the Scarab superstition they are known for. To outsiders, she’s seen as ruthless and unforgiving, a trait that carries over to reflect on her entire fleet numbering in the billions. Since her childhood, she carried the ideology that a unified Humanity is the ultimate dream - hope, that individuals could live with one another in peace, guides her hand. In practice, it’s often an excuse to conquer and plunder the territories of those who disagree with her in immature and hypocritical tantrums.
 
==First Speaker Marja-Leena Helminen==
 
'''Birthdate: 18 November, 2417'''
 
Either the second or third most important person in the Coalition of Colonies, depending upon which person is asked, Doctor Helminen is the elected leader of the United Syndicates of Himeo and at times the greatest ally and worst enemy of Chief Representative Sianne. Unlike her counterpart on Xanu, Helminen has pushed against megacorporations having a further presence in the Coalition and believes that the Coalition should pursue closer relations with Elyra instead of formally expanding into the buffer zone near the Sol Alliance. She is also well-known as a major proponent of joint Coalition-Elyra anti-piracy efforts.

'''Birthdate: N/A'''


Emaunel is an exceptional businessman and the epitome of a Eridanian "Corporate". Sitting as the current CEO of the "Board of Five" within the Eridani Corporate Federation as well as the Chairman of the Board for Sol Governance and Senator of the Epsilon Eridani region. Born on Oran and educated on Earth, Emanuel has a prodigious corporate career, starting as a Regional Sales Manager for Hephaestus Industries Emanuel has worked his way up the ranks to become the current CEO of the Eridani Federation. Emanuel is a card carrying member of [[ATLAS]], specifically the "Mechanical Augmentalists". As such, alongside the common eye and neck augmentations sported by almost all Eridanians, Emanuel is heavily augmented with top of the line augments across his entire body.
While not a singular person, the Eridani Corporate Federation’s Board of Five represent some of the most powerful and influential entities in the Sol Alliance. The Board’s interests remain mostly shadowy, aside from being profit-focused. The Eridani Private Military Company, the largest PMC in the Orion Spur, ultimately answers directly to them and the non-aggression principle. NanoTrasen, much to its dismay, does not have a stake in the Board of Five - Einstein Engines, which controls two of the Five, has gone to great lengths to keep its main rival out of the Board.


===Yawa Martin Jones Baako aka "Acid Burn" (Born 2428)===
==Emanuel Alimayu==


Born in the slums of Akhet, Yawa is the founder and owner of the largest ethical Private Military Companies in the Federation - Baako Solutions.

Starting her life as a miner Yawa managed to form a succesful gang on Akhet and then Oran, carrying out corporate espionage against those who "deserve it". Yawa is a stellar hacker, going be the moniker "Acid Burn". Yawa is rumored to a member of the [[Free Assembly]], specifically the Equal Rights Union, a controversial association due to the membership of the Federation within the Sol Alliance if true.

Born in 2140 to parents on the first outposts of Mars, Mao Zeng-Hu is the founder of the leading medical research company, Zeng-Hu Pharmaceuticals. From a young age Mao was taught in the medical field and later went on to study the xenoflora on newly discovered colonized worlds. From this, be formed Zeng-hu Pharmaceuticals. Under his leadership, many new chemical formulas, medication, the first cryo pods, and what would later become the basis of cloning was achieved.

===Xavier Trasen (2325-2443)===
His Imperial Majesty Emperor Boleslaw Keeser the First is the authoritarian ruler of the fairly young highly theocratic Empire of Dominia,  which has shifted from an isolated backwater under his reign to an increasingly powerful player in its own right, though it still lags far behind other human powers in its ability to project its influence. Emperor Keeser I is renowned throughout the Empire as a stern yet caring ruler by his subjects, and hated as a tyrant by those that he has conquered. Personally, he is rumored to be intelligent and shrewd - after all, he did manage to claim the power of the throne. In recent years, the Emperor has turned his attention from Moroz itself to the planets near him - a move that has caught the watchful eye of the Coalition of Colonies and Republic of Elyra. Only time will tell what will come of this.


Xavier Trasen, at a young age, went on to shape the progression of humanity and many others by forming the gene therapy company of Nanotrasen.

A long-serving and well-respected naval officer, she has been a major driving force behind the Empire turning its attention abroad in recent years. She has also been key in politely shuffling House Khakhz out of much of its naval dominance, which has earned her some ire amongst the unathi houses of the Empire. She is a hated figure in the Coalition of Colonies, and is often viewed as a key symbol of Dominian imperialism abroad.

While Tatenda does not have the best relationship with NanoTrasen, or megacorporations more generally, his government has seen a thawing of the NT-Elyra relationship due to NanoTrasen providing cardox to Elyra. However a full thaw remains unlikely, as Tatenda’s government retains bitterness over how long it took cardox shipments to begin. Tatenda’s government has seen a strengthening of the relationship between the Coalition of Colonies and Elyra under his leadership, with the goal of further suppressing Dominian and unathi piracy.

Overview

This is a page dedicated to notable Humans across the Orion Spur. These are the most influential and important individuals whose actions sway the galaxy and its history at large.

The Trasen Family

The top of the food chain, the Trasen family’s status is legendary on the galactic scale. Virtually everybody has heard of them, and their monopoly over Phoron and stranglehold over Tau Ceti has raised them to be the most influential and powerful individuals in Human history.

Miranda Trasen

Birthdate : 25 March, 2413

Wealth beyond belief is hardly the characterizing trait of Miranda Trasen, who alone has held together the Phoron monopoly for the years after her father’s death in 2443. Maintaining a strong public image is among her greatest efforts, to grand success - the “good deeds” of NanoTrasen have spread word across Human space like wildfire since her rise to power. This is of course in desperation to mend the shattered reputation of NanoTrasen amongst the Frontier worlds that have come to despise the megacorporation, though whether the wealthiest woman alive has better aspirations than exploiting them is up for debate. Miranda has managed to establish footholds in the Coalition of Colonies’ space itself, branching out far and wide across the galaxy.

Miranda’s insistence on an outwards-facing smile has not kept her corporation out of a negative light, and weekly scandals are bound to be numerous for something so enormous. Nor has it managed to keep the press out of her daily dealings. Every move made outside of protected corporate property is tracked incessantly, with each step into new territories being either celebrated or rued with the public at large. Reasonably, Miranda can rarely be seen outside of the highest echelons of the corporation’s most secure facilities and ships with this in mind.

Nathan Trasen

Birthdate : 18 July, 2416

Part of the Trasen family, Nathan Trasen also holds a high-ranking position in NanoTrasen. Unlike his cousin, Nathan has the fortune of not being in the spotlight-- but, despite this, he always puts on his best smile in public, almost unsettlingly so. Responsible for the security of the entire corporation, Nathan knows everything that goes on in the company. He is the man behind recent reforms to NanoTrasen’s station security forces, which were previously regarded as second-rate to their competitors in the Eridani Private Military Company and Idris Incorporated. However, Nathan has continued to employ contractors aboard NanoTrasen’s security stations for security purposes, and is known to maintain friendly relations with the Chief Security Officers of other megacorporations.

Melissa Trasen

Birthdate : 14 October, 2443

Melissa Trasen is the media personality of the Trasen family, with frequent appearances on the ETX Network. A widely recognized celebrity in human and even Federation space, Melissa is - according to the Mendell City Bugle - the Orion Spur’s youngest trillionaire. Melissa is the largest stockholder in WetSkell from the Trasen family, a factoid that Miranda prefers to keep hidden from members of the Big Five. Her NanoTrasen-brand fashion and cosmetics conglomerate known as Wear Like Melissa, constructed with the assistance of Idris Incorporated (which, admittedly, takes most of its profits), has proven to be wildly successful in the Republic of Biesel and has contributed to her becoming the Spur’s youngest trillionaire.

Xavier Trasen (2325-2443)

Birthdate: 5 May, 2325 Death: December 1, 2443

Xavier Trasen, at a young age, went on to shape the progression of humanity and many others by forming the gene therapy company of Nanotrasen. From there, Nanotrasen began to rapidly broaden it's horizons. Chemistry, cloning, medical-care, arms productions, botanical research, and xeno-archaeology, under his arm NanoTrasen began to overshadow other companies and rivals with it's rapid progression and development. Xavier would die the galaxy's richest man, passing on his position to his daughter, Miranda Trasen.

Big Five

Known commonly as the “Big Five,” these are the chief executives of the megacorporations, and without a doubt the richest people in the galaxy aside from the Trasens.

Titanius Aeson

Birthdate : 12 May, 2430

An odd case amongst megacorps, the “Fighting Titan” of Hephaestus Industries is a former lower-level foreman on a Hephaestus orbital platform that has, through dedication and cunning, worked his way up to the top of Hephaestus. Aeson is a respected, and slightly feared, figure in Hephaestus that cuts an imposing figure at two meters and height and a build resembling one of Hephaestus’ G2 robots. A booming voice and infamous love of cigars contributes to Aeson’s reputation as a literal titan of industry. Aeson’s status as a man that rose from the ranks is why the modern Hephaestus Industries is viewed as one of the better companies to work for in the engineering sector, with significant benefits being given to retain workers and ensure even hazardous work is done.

Liqin Hsiao-Li

Birthdate: 16 August, 2354

One of the smartest living humans in the Orion Spur, Doctor Hsiao-Li secured her position as the head of Zeng-Hu Pharmaceuticals through ability rather than family relations, and has seen Zeng-Hu secure significant shares of the human and skrellian biotech markets under her watchful eye. Hsiao-Li has a reputation as an extremely strict woman, even amongst Zeng-Hu Pharmaceutical board members, that does not tolerate failure. This has worked wonders for the reputation of the company’s workers, as one screw-up is enough to get them fired, but has made Zeng-Hu Pharmaceuticals a much more stressful company to work for than its main competitor of NanoTrasen. However, should an employee show success, Hsiao-Li rewards it.

Noella Lopez-Zhang

Birthdate : 12 December, 2408

A genius researcher and cutthroat businesswoman, Dr. Lopez-Zhang is respected throughout Einstein Engines as the woman that saved the oldest megacorporation in the Orion Spur from utter destruction by radically restructuring the company in the mid-2400s. Under Lopez-Zhang’s steady leadership, Einstein has set about recovering much of its market share. Presently, it stands able to challenge NanoTrasen in several engineering fields and has become a major threat to Hephaestus Industries. Dr. Lopez-Zhang and Titanius Aeson are known to have an infamously sour relationship.

Alex Mason

Birthdate : 6 September, 2425

Known for their (seemingly) fantastic relationship with the Trasens, Alex Mason was brought into the Idris family at a young age and quickly became the heir to the chief executive position of Idris Incorporated with no clear rhyme or reason. While the family had ensured their own blood led the company for hundreds of years, the sudden change of heart was seen as a shock to the public when it ended up in Mason’s hands in 2453. Since then, the young man has made little change to the corporate structure - Idris is the same as it’s always been, while Mason sits on a fortune. He is known to be deceptive at heart, with a substantial record of holding up to Idris’ brutal business tactics.

Kazimir Boytsov

Birthdate : 2312

Kazimir Boytsov is chief among the most infamous arms manufacturers in the galaxy. Born in early 2312, they’re known for their wisdom in their age, and developed Necropolis Industries around in the view of his father. Loyal to his family’s agenda above all else, he seeks to guide the hand of conflicts in the Frontier - and any that may crop up between political entities - to turn out the maximum, most selfish profit possible. By no means an upstanding individual. In 2462, Boytsov fell into a coma - likely as a result of his old age - and was replaced by Dr. Lydumila Zavodskoi as CEO.

Lydumila Zavodskoi

Birthdate: 2398

Dr. Lydumila Zavodskoi rose to power as the CEO of Necropolis Industries following the entry of her predecessor into a coma. She has dramatically restructured the company away from Boytsov’s focus on genetics to concentrate primarily on arms development, with the aim of forcing Hephaestus Industries out of the arms market, and the expansion of IPC employees into every area of human space aside from the Empire of Dominia. The nature of her restructuring is so dramatic that she has opted to rename Necropolis to Zavodskoi Interstellar, in order to move away from Boytsov’s legacy. Dr. Zavodskoi herself is a private person, primarily working behind the scenes, but is said to be very shrewd and intelligent with a remarkable ability to play corporate politics. Interstellar observers worry that Dr. Zavodskoi may turn out to be as cutthroat, if not more so, than her predecessor when it comes to supplying conflict zones.

Republic of Biesel

These are individuals relevant to the Republic of Biesel.

President Joseph Dorn

Birthdate: 9 January, 2406

Current President of the Republic of Biesel, Dorn has led the small nation through a series of threats to its continued existence ranging from Lii’dra to the Sol Alliance Navy. While one of the most respected political figures in the young Republic, some are concerned that Dorn will not be able to maintain a firm hold on it considering its repeated disasters and extremely diverse population, and the Republic’s close connection to business interests such as NanoTrasen. In the upcoming election, he will doubtlessly face firm opposition. Only time will tell if President Dorn will keep his position despite criticisms of his recent handing of District Six and the Jargon Federation’s incursions into Biesel space.

Coalition of Colonies

These are individuals relevant to the Coalition of Colonies.

Chief Representative of the Coalition Reilly Sianne

Birthdate: 18 March, 2421

Formerly a farmhand on Xanu, Reilly is the first Chief Representative of the newly reformed Coalition of Colonies. A staunch Xanu proponent of trade, she has pushed for more anti-piracy patrols in the Coalition’s south, near Zaurghis, and has advocated that the Coalition should expand its influence into the neutral zone formally. Sianne is, furthermore, a proponent of more megacorporation presence in the Coalition - a stance that has brought her into conflict with some planets within the Coalition. Sianne’s personality is difficult to decipher, with almost all of her own time dedicated to expanding on her political career. She is seen as a shut-in in this regard, with little in the way of social connections - in part due to her being elevated to the position by external forces and plucked out of a once-peaceful rural town life in her childhood.

Iraiya, the Queen in Blue

Birthdate: Unknown

Sat upon the throne of the King’s Omen is the young Iraiya, known by the Scarabs and in the Frontier as the “Queen in Blue.” She is the descendent of Apollo Kagwa, the lone man who led the Scarabs to unification during the Lost Years. She is known for her excessive caution and compassion for her kin, embodying the Scarab superstition they are known for. To outsiders, she’s seen as ruthless and unforgiving, a trait that carries over to reflect on her entire fleet numbering in the billions. Since her childhood, she carried the ideology that a unified Humanity is the ultimate dream - hope, that individuals could live with one another in peace, guides her hand. In practice, it’s often an excuse to conquer and plunder the territories of those who disagree with her in immature and hypocritical tantrums.

First Speaker Marja-Leena Helminen

Birthdate: 18 November, 2417

Either the second or third most important person in the Coalition of Colonies, depending upon which person is asked, Doctor Helminen is the elected leader of the United Syndicates of Himeo and at times the greatest ally and worst enemy of Chief Representative Sianne. Unlike her counterpart on Xanu, Helminen has pushed against megacorporations having a further presence in the Coalition and believes that the Coalition should pursue closer relations with Elyra instead of formally expanding into the buffer zone near the Sol Alliance. She is also well-known as a major proponent of joint Coalition-Elyra anti-piracy efforts.

Eridani Corporate Federation

These are individuals relevant to the Eridani Federation.

The Board of Five

Birthdate: N/A

While not a singular person, the Eridani Corporate Federation’s Board of Five represent some of the most powerful and influential entities in the Sol Alliance. The Board’s interests remain mostly shadowy, aside from being profit-focused. The Eridani Private Military Company, the largest PMC in the Orion Spur, ultimately answers directly to them and the non-aggression principle. NanoTrasen, much to its dismay, does not have a stake in the Board of Five - Einstein Engines, which controls two of the Five, has gone to great lengths to keep its main rival out of the Board.

Emanuel Alimayu

Birthdate: ???, 2418

Emaunel is an exceptional businessman and the epitome of a Eridanian "Corporate". Sitting as the current CEO of the "Board of Five" within the Eridani Corporate Federation as well as the Chairman of the Board for Sol Governance and Senator of the Epsilon Eridani region. Born on Oran and educated on Earth, Emanuel has a prodigious corporate career, starting as a Regional Sales Manager for Hephaestus Industries Emanuel has worked his way up the ranks to become the current CEO of the Eridani Federation.

Yawa Martin Jones Baako aka "Acid Burn"

Birthdate: 21 May, 2428

Born in the slums of Akhet, Yawa is the founder and owner of the largest ethical Private Military Companies in the Federation - Baako Solutions. Sporting a neon blue side-swept pompadour hairstyle alongside her electric green eye augmentations, she is the embodiment of a leading Eridanian "Dreg". Starting her life as a miner Yawa managed to form a succesful gang on Akhet and then Oran, carrying out corporate espionage against those who "deserve it". Yawa is a stellar hacker, going be the moniker "Acid Burn".

Empire of Dominia

These are individuals relevant to the Empire of Dominia.

Emperor Boleslaw Keeser

Birthdate: 17 December, 2405

His Imperial Majesty Emperor Boleslaw Keeser the First is the authoritarian ruler of the fairly young highly theocratic Empire of Dominia, which has shifted from an isolated backwater under his reign to an increasingly powerful player in its own right, though it still lags far behind other human powers in its ability to project its influence. Emperor Keeser I is renowned throughout the Empire as a stern yet caring ruler by his subjects, and hated as a tyrant by those that he has conquered. Personally, he is rumored to be intelligent and shrewd - after all, he did manage to claim the power of the throne. In recent years, the Emperor has turned his attention from Moroz itself to the planets near him - a move that has caught the watchful eye of the Coalition of Colonies and Republic of Elyra. Only time will tell what will come of this.

Duchess Huiling Zhao, Grand Admiral of His Imperial Majesty’s Fleet

Birthdate: 30 September, 2416

The highest-ranking member of the Emperor of Dominia’s admiralty Grand Admiral Zhao, of the Order of the Golden Albatros, is considered to be one of the most influential members of Keeser’s Imperial Cabinet. A long-serving and well-respected naval officer, she has been a major driving force behind the Empire turning its attention abroad in recent years. She has also been key in politely shuffling House Khakhz out of much of its naval dominance, which has earned her some ire amongst the unathi houses of the Empire. She is a hated figure in the Coalition of Colonies, and is often viewed as a key symbol of Dominian imperialism abroad.

Serene Republic of Elyra

These are individuals relevant to the Republic of Elyra.

Prime Minister Rasheed Tatenda

Birthdate: 13 July, 2421

The victor in Elyra’s most recent elections, P.M. Tatenda is a sterling representative of what Elyra is to the greater frontier. He is a published phoron researcher with some combat experience under his belt as a result of service as a reserve officer, and maintains a good appearance despite his advancing age. While Tatenda does not have the best relationship with NanoTrasen, or megacorporations more generally, his government has seen a thawing of the NT-Elyra relationship due to NanoTrasen providing cardox to Elyra. However a full thaw remains unlikely, as Tatenda’s government retains bitterness over how long it took cardox shipments to begin. Tatenda’s government has seen a strengthening of the relationship between the Coalition of Colonies and Elyra under his leadership, with the goal of further suppressing Dominian and unathi piracy.

Sol Alliance

These are individuals relevant to the Sol Alliance.

Senator Joseph Taylor

Birthdate: 28 May, 2406

Regarded as a liberal in the Sol Alliance, Senator Taylor is an Earthling from a biodome in the United Americas. He’s currently serving as one of Earth’s representatives aboard Unity Station, and has proven himself to be a staunch opponent of Frost. As a result, he’s become notably popular with people from even outside the Sol system. Some talk about him potentially becoming the next leader of the Sol Alliance, but that remains unlikely while Frost controls his power base. In his private life, he’s known to be an entrepreneur of sorts, as well as preferring the great outdoors and experiencing the “wilder things in life,” by his own words.
