  J’Sibb

  J’Sibb is a world covered almost entirely in water. The race of beings that evolved on the planet call themselves the craftsman for they are always building. They are the finest ship builders in the galaxy. They ignored most of the galaxy for thousands of years and in turn were ignored. The Alltradeuin Empire convinced them to become part of their empire and they Craftsman now build ships for the AE. The Craftsman is a very aquatic race.

  Atlantis II

  Atlantis II is an independent planet on the line between the Socialist and the Republic. They trade with both and do their best to remain neutral in conflicts. Many treaties have been signed here. The current President of Atlantis is John Strife, a retired Bounty Hunter. The planet is well known for its lightstones, used in the making of the galaxies finest jewelry. It is also home to some of the galaxies finest resorts.

  Kasian Sector – Capital of AE

  The Kasian Star System has a record of eight habitable planets, each one of them unique in their own way. The system was undiscovered until the Alltradeuin Empire arrived and claimed it as their capital. The planets were full of resources and the Empire quickly turned it into a fortress system to defend against the rest of the galaxy. The system was also home to the extinct race of Quiedar that the empire resurrects using their cloning technology.

  Coronis

  Coronis was the independent headquarters of the Galactic Police Force. The planet had a variety of terrains and supported the needs of the marshals who enforced the laws of both the GRA and SA depending on which planet they were on. They caused some problems for the Alltradeuin Empire and in retaliation the entire planet was wiped out.

  Star’s End

  Star’s End is a planet on the very fringe of the galaxy looking out into the abyss. The planet is controlled by a group known as the Mercenary Militia. They are some of the fiercest soldiers in the galaxy and work for whoever pays the most, and have no scruples about doing the worst jobs. The planet is barely habitable, cold and dim as it orbits a small star.

  Menchet Region

  The Menchet Region is a dense cluster of stars near the center of the galaxy. There are only a few habitable planets in the region and they are mostly agricultural in nature. But the number of stars makes it a difficult place to navigate through hyperspace and thus is frequented by pirates and smugglers. The Republic keeps a number of undercover operatives in the area trying to discourage illegal activity as much as possible.

  Milan

  Milan is an out of the way planet in the Socialist Alliance. Its wide open flat lands and plains create excellent soil for crops. The planet is famous for its grain products that are shipped throughout the galaxy.

  Tanis

  Tanis is home to a unique race of people devoted to extending life through a variety of means. They have also found ways to blend organic materials with technology. Tanis joins the Alltradeuin Empire and becomes a fortress world developing new ships for the Empire.

  Chapter 3

  People of the Galaxy

  Robert Griffin was born on the planet Pangea, the only son of Marcus and Arianna, well to do farmers in the Zephyr Mountain district. Robert did not know as a child, but his parents were very wealthy and had off world property, the profit was used to fund seditious acts against the Socialist Alliance government that had control of Pangea. Robert was twelve when the government discovered the acts of his parents and used the recent knowledge that they had helped hide a political fugitive as an excuse to execute the entire family. The family was warned and Robert was able to hide and get away. Robert spent the next five years living off of the land and the kindness of people in the nearby village. This period of relative isolation led Robert to become a very reserved person. He does not trust easily or open up to anyone until he knows them well. But he is extremely loyal to those he does know and trust. Robert is also very intelligent and mechanically inclined. He has soaked up whatever knowledge he could get. Robert is handsome in his own way, well built and rugged from his survival in the mountains. He has blondish brown hair and blue eyes.

  Robert escaped from the planet Pangea in a rebuilt starfighter. He finds his way to the planet Deseret where he finds old family friends who take him in. Upon completion of school he is recruited by the Space Marines and attends the Military Academy. He graduates top of his class and is given command of a new special forces squadron, Liberation Squad, part of the a Republic’s elite group known as Guardian Force. Their mission is to protect the Republic’s interests and freedom throughout the galaxy. Eventually Robert and his squadron spearhead the mission that attacks Pangea. Robert is instrumental in the dictator Javis Zaragoza’s death and the planet happily welcomes the chance to become members of the Galactic Republic.

  Shortly after the liberation of Pangea Robert officially resigns his commission and is elected to the Galactic Republic Senate for Pangea. He quickly finds a niche in the senate as a valued member of intelligence and military committees. He proposes to his former squad member Karissa Wanner, she turns him down. He is depressed over this and takes a leave of absence back to Pangea. During his time there he gets involved with Pangean intelligence organizations tracking the new socialist dictator, Fontana D’or, finds that one of his cousins, Mathoni Griffin, survived the family purge as well, and becomes reacquainted with a childhood friend, Jessica Henness. Robert begins courting Jessica and they eventually marry. Robert becomes involved increasingly with intelligence planning operations while fulfilling his senate duties. His shipboard computer personality Byte is discovered to be the galaxies first AI, but it is unknown how it happened and the Republic cannot yet duplicate it, although the Alltradeuin Empire discovers the secret. Robert stays very involved in everything that is going on in the galaxy and is much more hands on than a senator should be. There are numerous threats on his life as well as the lives of his wife and children. Yet somehow he and his family manage to stay alive and grow to old age. Robert eventually becomes a party minority leader in the senate.

  Mathoni Griffin was a very small child when his parents were killed for simply being part of the Griffin family. He was rescued by a neighbor and good friend and she raised him as her own. Mathoni is average height and build with dark brown hair and deep blue eyes. He is friendly and outgoing, but is also competitive and likes to win and have things go his way. He was informed of his heritage when Pangea was freed and after Robert became a senator. He becomes one of the first intelligence agents from Pangea to work for the Republic. One of his first assignments as an intelligence agent puts him in the government offices of the Socialist Alliance at Rio Querino. Fontana D’or spends most of her time there since it is her home world. There Mathoni becomes acquainted with Emily Giagua, the kidnapped daughter of Middoni Giagua. She has become convinced that the Socialists are right and the Republic is evil. Despite that Mathoni still falls in love with her and because she is Fontana’s assistant is able to help Mathoni get a job as chief of security for Fontana. Mathoni is present when the Socialists first meet with Allena Dartin and the Tonin Meine from the Alltradeuin Empire and manages to get word to the Republic that the new force in the galaxy is planning on attacking them. The chance Mathoni gave them to prepare is the only thing that stopped the Alltradeuins from conquering the Republic. When the Republic invades Rio Querino as retribution for the Socialists sending the Alltradeuin Empire to attack them Mathoni is the one that stops Fontana from escaping by assassinating her. Unfortunately Emily witnesses the act and she manages to escape with the rest of the fleeing Socialist forces. Mathoni does not have the opportunity to talk to her for a couple of years, but his feelings never change. Because of the high profile assassination of Fontana Mathoni is ruined for field work as an intelligence agent. So Mathoni enters the world of business with a loan from his cousin Robert. He funds research and development of new weapons and ships and does as much covert actions as he can with the small private corporate army that he has raised. Before long his cousin, Robert’s adopted so
n, Teomnor joins him in business and they begin planning on how they can use their resources to bring down the Socialist Alliance once and for all. When Emily Giagua is named the new director of the Socialist Alliance Mathoni goes to her, she does still love him, but is very torn over what he did to her mentor Fontana. When Mathoni receives news that an attack Emily ordered resulted in the death of her younger brother Ecaj Mathoni is finally able to convince Emily to leave the Socialist Alliance behind. She still wants nothing to do with the Republic so Mathoni takes her to the neutral planet Atlantis II, where he has a large division of his company. They marry and Mathoni tries to stay out of galactic affairs to keep his wife happy. They have one son named Jarom.

  Emily Giagua is the eldest daughter of Middoni Giagua she grew up with everything that she ever needed and most of what she wanted. She is a very beautiful woman with long brown hair and green eyes. She is tall and has an attractive figure. She became rather rebellious in her teenage years and allowed herself to be kidnapped by the Socialist Alliance and joined their side. She served Fontana lovingly as her assistant, but fell in love with Mathoni Griffin, who she did not know was a Republic spy. Emily was very involved in everything that Fontana did up until she was assassinated in front of Emily by her love, Mathoni. Since then she has been very torn apart and full of rage. Once she managed to get some control over her feelings the newly appointed Emperor Macklan gave her commander of "Fleet D," a large fleet of the Socialist’s strongest warships. Her assignment was to inflict as much damage on the Republic as she could. She loyally served Macklan during the civil war which had been started by Teomnor Griffin claiming to be the legitimate heir to the Socialist throne. Upon Emperor Macklan's death Emily took control over the remaining Socialist forces and titled herself the Director of the Socialist Alliance. After the civil war in which Teomnor Griffin Zaragoza took control of the Socialist worlds Emily led her fleets into hiding in the Hesperus Sector. It was there that Mathoni found her and convinced her to give up control of her ships and to go away with him. When she left her ships joined with the newly elected government of the Socialist Alliance. Emily married Mathoni and became involved in the running of his company.

  Teomnor Griffin was born on Pangea not knowing who is father was. When he was in his late teens the Republic invaded and conquered Pangea. Shortly thereafter his mother was diagnosed with an incurable disease. She asked that Robert Griffin take in her son, which he did, she told Robert that Teomnor’s father had been Javis Zaragoza. Teomnor was not told who his father was for several years. He joined the Republic’s army and due to his work at Rio Querino in the battle and in dealing with the insurgencies afterwards he became the youngest Colonel in Republic history. He continued to prove himself and excellent commander and when General Sular Hammith announced that he was retiring he surprised everyone by suggesting that Teomnor be promoted and put in command of all Republic Army forces. When the time was right Teomnor went into Socialist space and claimed the throne of his grandfather as his own. This started a civil war in which Macklan was overthrown as the socialist leader. Teomnor restructured the government giving the people the chance to elect their leaders, and then retired with his true love to a distant and peaceful planet. Teomnor is very tall and has thick black hair and eyes. He is well built and has a dark tan. He is very intelligent and thinks through his actions before doing them.

  Eva Marie grew up a space gypsy with a magical power to communicate with nature and have some control over it. She is a very attractive woman with long red hair and green eyes. Her skin is very pale having spent most of her early life inside a spaceship. In her late teens she was kidnapped by space pirates who also killed her family. After a few months with them she fought her way free and escaped in an escape pod near Atlantis II. Teomnor Griffin happened to be in the area and rescued the pod. Eventually he would lead an attack against the pirates that had killed her family. The Griffin family took care of Eva for a while and when she was feeling recovered from her experience with the pirates she traveled quite a bit with Teomnor. They fell in love and eventually were married. Eva has never given up hope that she would find some of her people again.

  Admiral Coglistio Boronaught was born on Galantos 60 years ago. He is just short of 2 meters tall with a thick crop of white hair and piercing blue eyes. He has a commanding presence and is very intelligent. Coglistio graduated first in his class 40 years ago from the military academy on Kronsk. He was the commander of a ship in the war against Zarahemnah and during the battle to retake Galantos the fleet commander was killed. Coglistio showed unique skill in commanding the rest of the fleet and was a major influence in winning the battle. In the following years he would work his way quickly up the military ladder demonstrating again and again his command capabilities. He was promoted to the rank of High Admiral at the age of 45. Six years later he would be named Supreme Military Commander by the senate. He managed this position well until he was assassinated by Eliar Meine.

  Derek West grew up on Deseret. His father had served several years in the Navy before leaving and becoming a lawyer. Derek had the same desire to serve in the military and let them pay for school. He joined the Navy just before the socialist invasion led by Zarahemnah Zaragoza and was an XO on Coglistio Boronaught’s ship. Once the war was over Derek realized he had no desire to leave the Navy and continued to serve directly under Admiral Boronaught until he was assassinated and Derek was chosen to replace him as commander of the Navy. Shortly thereafter the senate elected him as the new Supreme Military Commander.

  Daniel Wanner was a young senator’s aide before the socialist invasion. After the invasion he was imprisoned. Rescued by a pirate and resistance organization he helped to orchestrate the entire operation that allowed the Republic to free Galantos from the Socialists. He helped to set up the new government, and served as Vice President for a number of years before he was elected President. He is a well liked President and has done good work.

  Chav Bracken was a young man during the socialist invasion; he led Republic troops through secret alleyways making possible the takeout of the socialist dictator Zarahemnah Zaragoza. He played up his role in the elections after the liberation of Galantos and got himself elected governor of Galantos. He served in that capacity for a number of years until he campaigned with Daniel Wanner and was elected vice president.

  Sular Hammith was a young lieutenant during the first socialist wars. He proved himself repeatedly in battle and was promoted regularly until he was made a General and given command of the entire army. He helped to set up the Army headquarters and training facilities on Sidom helping to make Republic Soldiers some of the finest in the galaxy.

  James Wanner is the younger brother of Daniel Wanner; James had always wanted to be a marine. He was part of the commando team that worked on the ground at Galantos to free the planet. He and his team planted explosives that took out the capital building and the socialist dictator. After that battle he quickly made his way up the ranks of the marines to General. When asked where he would like to serve he requested to head up the Marine Academy at Kronsk. He loves being part of the training of the Republic’s finest soldiers and officers.

  John Carter grew up on Galantos and loved freedom very much. He worked with the resistance on Galantos during the brief socialist occupation and joined the marines and the commando team that blew up the capital. After the battle he joined the starfighter command and in a few years worked his way up to the rank of General and was given command of the program. Guardian Force falls under his command.

  Senator Jax Quizux represents the planet Sidom. His family had old military ties and he used them as a young man to get elected to the senate. He served there for a very long time and has become the majority leader in the senate. As such he is the liaison to the Military High Command.

  Senator Speckt Alson has managed to lead a double life. During the socialist wars she was an independent operative helping to destroy many socialist bases. With the technology that she and her te
am stole from the socialists and sold to the Republic they made a great deal of money. They also captured a socialist shipyard and set up their own company. Speckt chose to remain a silent partner and instead returned to her home planet Callisdrin where she had been part of the aristocracy during her youth. With her families old power she got herself elected to the senate and became a well respected and powerful senator.

  Colonel Garth Hawkins grew up on a small outlying Republic world; he always dreamed of bigger things and went away to school at the military academy. He was drafted into the Republic’s intelligence agency and made his way through the ranks by first being a good agent and then commanding agent. He lives for keeping the Republic safe and his honored to head up the Intelligence department.

  Lt. Whettam O’Bray is from the planet Deseret. His father had been an intelligence agent and he followed in his footsteps. His father left him countless contacts and Whettam quickly proved himself an excellent agent. He proved himself excellent at finding enemy ships and was placed in charge of the enemy asset tracking program. Although he has refused numerous promotions he has a great many agents in the field under his command.

  Colonel Dago Adil was a hotshot fighter pilot during the socialist war and miraculously survived all of his battles. He became a Republic hero for his amazing skill with a fighter.
