Family history of Feldwebel Nikolai Sovok

[Sturmwind]

As an addition to his life, Juan Kuznetsov owed a great deal to the developing IMG, as they gave him a shelter and free food in exchange for his engineering services on the supply depot which eventually began its expansion into what is called Freistadt today. Juan Kuznetsov and his two children, Miguel and Helena were chief elements in the construction of the aforementioned station, by installing things ranging from a gravity stabilizer to metal processors. The expansion lasted decades due to the fact that the closest installation was light-years away in Rheinland as an addition to Daumann and Kruger also expressing their interest in the area. Juan never lived to see the station in its full might.

Again, decades of peace and relative welfare dawned upon the Kuznetsov family, some of the descendants even left Freistadt and moved to Rheinland or Bretonia. Troubles only erupted as the Kuznetsovs' former comrades, the Cretans (now called Corsairs) started appearing in the system, attacking and looting IMG supply ships inbound from Rheinland. The eerie similarity between the native language, naming conventions and family origins of the Kuznetsovs raised their employers' awareness, eventually concluding rightfully the fact that the family formerly was or still is affiliated with the Corsair marauders. To avoid the repeated shame and distrust that surrounded them, the Kuznetsov family with the 90 years old Miguel as their head, moved to Bretonia.

The elderly Miguel couldn't bear the lengthy journey and passed away during the flight. At that time, trade lanes were not yet built in either of the Omega systems. They eventually got as far as Cambridge and settled in one of the developing farmlands.
