Name: Maximillian Devereaux
Position: Earl
Specialization: Economy
Name of Starting System: Lumières
Bio: Maximillian Devereaux, the thirteenth and last member of his noble lineage, inherited his house several years ago. Owner of a powerful lobby, after decades of careful investment and aggresive market expansion, Devereaux Industries became the primary source of power of his planet. In recognition to this achievement (and to ensure their future loyalty) the King granted the title of Earl to the head of the family. Building all kinds of machines, Deveraux Industries supplies several worlds and foreing goverments with the latest technology in robotics: From advanced butlers for the rich to police units and military hardware of deadly power.
Ruthless, arrogant and prideful, Maximillian is well aware of his power, he seeks only absolute power, believing he and only he is prepared to handle the responsibilities the throne demands from a man in this galaxy in turmoil. He will preserve beauty and knowledge from the dirty hands of the barbaric peasants and the alien filth.
Name: ~ Earl Edward XXXVII Windsor
Age : 25
Position: ~ an Earl in the Kingdom of Orion
Specialization: ~ Battle
Name of Starting System: ~ Anglia : A giant world five times the size of Terra, It was the place the Windsors and royalists and their kin were forcefully relocated to by the Union government after continued resistance. They were amongst the first to go there with a bunch of migrants and quickly founded a strong colony on the alien world. Now this world holds about 1 Billion people, mostly humans. The trend has been to elect the current head of the House of Windsor for the past millennia as the representative of Anglia in honour of the past monarchies and their ancestral traditions as monarchists. The former noble families form the large upper layer of people, with old royal dynasties like von Hohenzollern or von Habsburg having a lot of influence with the head of the House of Windsor. The planet is generally richer then average due to it's low population and many people on the planet have large, spacious homes in the colonized areas of the planet. The main problems of the planet are the relatively low population and it's ineffective use of the resources on the planet itself .
Bio: ~ Edward XXXVII was born about 25 Terran years ago when the Union was starting to crumble. His father George LII died as a soldier in the army during the war and thus he promtly came to the post of Representative of Anglia at the age of 17. He was awarded the title of Earl due to the nature of his families firm controll of the planet known as Anglia and it's massive size. Like his ancestors before him he despised the Union of Stars and strives to reform and reunite the human worlds in a constitutional Human Empire with himself at the head as it's monarch. Slavery in his eyes is a terrible crime that needs to be ended once and for all.

[A character Bio on one of the early game NPC's]
Name: Gaj Bieniek
Position: High Councillor of the Terran Federation
Age: 56
Bio: Born into an influential family on Terra, Gaj was a man of Polish descent. (despite the country loosing sovereignty after the war of unification and then ceasing to be special administration zone after the Civil war) Consistently proud of his heritage and family history, he led a fairly ordinary life for an upper class citizen of Terra, spending his early years in school, eventually graduating top of is year. After his schooling his family decided to send him to the Charon Military School, at the time the Unions most prestigious academy for upcoming military minds. Normally only available to those whose families directly presided over the council Gaj's attendance drew him much attention from the upper rulers of the Union.
During his three year education the young pole would establish himself as one of the foremost military minds of his generation, setting the schools record for best performance in all its Military simulations. As such after his graduation, he was quickly requisitioned by the Union fleet and rose through the ranks fast, eventually becoming the Admiral of the 4th Union fleet. His strong armed form of leadership and considerable lack of charismatic charm earned him little friendship among the non-commissioned members of his crew. However his fame spread quickly within the shadowy halls of the Council and by the beginning of the Collectives emergence he was regularly turning down requests to join the organisations ranks or accept the position of Admiral of the Fleet, the highest in the Navy.
Due to his history of and accolades Gaj was elected to lead the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Union fleets into battle against the Collective at their emergence in the South. In this instance however fate conspired against him, forcing him to bed with a serious liver infection, eventually requiring a transplant, leaving him unable to command. Thus he was not present to command the fleet which was destroyed in the various engagements of the war, such as the first battle of Calamar. At the outbreak of the Civil war he was given command of the 4th and 5th Union fleets which formed the core of the 5 Union fleets that stayed loyal to the Council (out of 15 - including the 3 destroyed against the collective) Soon he was the most feared of the Union's commanders after perfecting his preferred tactics of convoy raiding and hit and run skirmishes which constantly whittled down the rebel fleets. At the Battle of Alpha Centuri however Gaj was finally forced into a straight fight, in an attempt to aid the embattled 8th, 12th and 13th Union fleets. However this would be his most odd moment, at his arrival on the battlefield he immediately switched sides catching the Union fleets unaware and shattering them. The battle which claimed all of the Unions remaining fleets would lead to the capitulation of the Council and the sacking of Terra, in which Gaj would escape the purge of all council members and those close to them. His family however were not so lucky, all being sentenced to death and shot.
Five years later Gaj had successfully outmaneuvered all other political opponents on Terra to firmly secure his self established position as the new Grand Councillor of the Terran Federation, a form of government that invokes the old union to some, despite being nowhere near as right wing. For now though his position is secure with nearly all of the Federation supporting his rule, seeing it as a symbol of their old power. Looking forward Gaj seeks to reestablish Terra as an important hub for humanity and increase its influence in the Galaxy, to the North he seeks to regain Epsilon Eridana, the capital of the Democratic Union of Epsilia, A system he views as stolen from the federation by Council meddling. Other than that, few can guess whether he is driven by personal desire or some other greater dream
