Name: Miki Koizumi
Gender: Female
Birthdate: May 20, 787
Place of Birth: Planet New Tokyo, Ginza City.

Brief background:
Miki was born into the traditional role-model of of Kusari, being the oldest of three daughters, it was her faith to bring wealth to her family through marriage. Unlike others, she never showed any opposition or second-thought towards this way of life, instead she considered it a chance, knowing that she might get out of the rural outskirts of Ginza she grew up at.
At the age of 23 she was studying banking, dreaming of a career for Interspace Commerce, but her heart chose a different path. During her second semester vacation, she met Goro the first time. Soon they were dating and she found out that he was pursuing a military career. Just three years later, their relationship fluidly went over into marriage. Two years later, their daughter Ami was born. With the fall of the Empire in 818, their quite wealthy status fell too, out of fear for Miki's future in this uncertain times, Miki decided to follow Goro's idea, pursuing the life of a Zoner at his side.
Nowadays she lovingly takes care of her daughter and handles encounters with criminals and authorities alike, usually convincing them with her soft voice to let them off the hook.

Name: Goro Koizumi
Gender: Male
Birthdate: June 14, 785
Place of Birth: Planet Kyushu, Asakura City.

Brief background:
Goro was born into a wealthier middle-class family with centuries old background of Naval Forces service, knowingly about his future career, he set his sights on flight simulations and training at the early age of 14 already. By the time he had met Miki, he was already signed up at the local Naval Forces Academy, pursuing a career as Gunboat Captain. He finished the Academy as second best of his year just one year before marrying Miki. Due to outstanding engagement he quickly received a promotion to first tactical officer on the Naval Ship "IKN-Izumo".
The very same vessel was later tasked with the defense of the Tau-29 system supply line, while the major forces marched on Leeds. With the Gallic appearance in the Tau region and the inevitable defeat of the Naval Forces in Tau-31, the Izumo and Goro were ordered to retreat back to Kyushu by the new Republican Government. The abandoning of their trapped comrades led to an uproar among the crew members, many of them resigning from duty with the intent to defect to the Emperor in Exile. Goro, having his barely 3 years old daughter on the surface of Kyushu, had no choice but to stay with the Republic. His sympathizing views with the Empire and the feeling of betrayal kept him from serving the Republic for long though. Just after three weeks, he got into a fight with his superiors, resulting in his expulsion from the Republican Forces. Following this event, he attempted to sign up for the State Police and private security agencies, with no success. As he later found out, he was not welcomed due to his family's strong ties with the Imperial Naval Forces.
Having no choice left, Goro searched for every option available, finally finding help with the Zoners of Freeport 6 who introduced him to the way of the Zoners. With the aid of a small Cult-like Zoners from Baffin, he acquired a loaned "Serenity"-class freighter. To his relief, his wife understood his decision and decided to stay with him, trying to live the peaceful life of a Zoner from now on. After quite a few successful contracts, Goro found himself in the position to pay back their loan and by 821 even acquired their own customized "Whale"-class, the Hasuda. Modifications include an experimental engine, several service and crew androids replacing human crew members as well as an Iridium strengthened armor plating.

Name: Ami Koizumi
Gender: Female
Birthdate: December 30, 815
Place of Birth: Planet Kyushu, Asakura City.
Brief background:
Ami was born briefly before the end of the first Empire of Kusari, straight into times of turbulence and civil unrest. She was barely three years old when her parents had to take a faithful decision, changing the family's life forever. Ami was getting home-schooled ever since her family left Kusari, showing huge interest in the culture heritage of her birthplace. Ami proved to be overall a very curious girl, questioning the world and the universe. Additionally, she appears to have a great sense of morale, sometimes she can be found disrupting her mother, talking to outsiders herself and bombarding them with loads of questions about their reasons, their life, pretty much everything! But Ami also proved to be a teaseful child, often playing around and causing a mess in her quarter, yet she is deeply loved by her parents.



The Merchant Vessel Hasuda

The Hasuda was commissioned at Pueblo Bonito in the year 820, originally constructed to serve as supply vessel for a local group of Zoners in Baffin maintaining a facility harvesting Alien Organisms in the depths of the Devon Ice Cloud. Fall 820, the Zoners using the vessel approached Freeport 6, wishing to sell the vessel again as their Alien Organism business had not been lucrative enough to pay off the vessel fully. With the vouching of the friends Goro made on Freeport 6, the vessel was sold to him and christened "Hasuda" after the district of Asakura City he lived at. Throughout the years the family turned the Whale into their true and only home, investing whatever funds they could spare into modernizing the rooms and facilities on board, step by step creating a considerably sized mobile home including gardens, a holo-deck, and many more pleasantries. In the year 824 the vessel received an experimental engine replacement following an engine failure caused by a Nomad attack, which to the family's luck was fended off by Order task forces in time.

Nowadays the Hasuda can be seen traversing many corners of Sirius, accepting contracts often carrying them through half of the Sector. Though they usually avoid house space, the Hasuda became a common sight at Kusari's and Liberty's skies, often found trespassing house controlled territory. Rumors regarding illegal activities fall on deaf ears or outright denial.




A Diplomacy of their own choice

As Zoners, the Koizumi family is no longer bound to views represented by the Kusari Government, the Imperial Navy or any other authority or corporation. Over the years, they developed their own point of view on Sirius' countless affairs, deciding themselves whom they deal with and which organizations they avoid or even denounce.
