Name: Araevin Teshurr Age: 31 Gender: Male Origin: Planet Denver, Colorado System Citizenship: Libertonian Biography: Araevin's parents were wealthy, but died at a young age. Araevin had expected an easy life, but he was soon cheated out of his money. He was called by a good friend of his fathers, and that man had promised to take care of him, but to no avail he took all his money and left him on Pittsburgh. He was not upset by this. Merely disgruntled that he had no means to make money. So he went to the dock and found a captain of a trader vessel, he was older but reliable. He took on young Araevin as his co-pilot, together they carried boron to Leeds for endless trips, Araevin made a modest amount of money, but one day the captain passed away, and left the ship to Araevin (Only that because he gambled and drank the rest away, Araevin found this out later). Araevin thought long and hard over who to join. The USI, a strong trading company, or Ageira who had stakes over Gate/Lane parts. He chose the latter, he quickly earned a lot of money from a corporate route. Soon after the faction leader had left and a new one was instated he requested permission to be second in command, and was accepted. With Ageira under control of Quorg and Araevin it quickly gained momentum and became a power once again, new routes being discovered every day and money flowing into the banks by the millions.
Then Araevin disappeared for a long time. He had seemingly disappeared from the universe, his train sat dormant on Pueblo without him in sight of his faithful ship. It was later revealed these were the years he found his current wife Sungura Teshurr. Who now faithfully serves on his ship both as Gunnery commander and his wife. Also, on this journey he encountered a cruiser captain named Bob Evans who he employed and to this day still employs as his technician and navigator.
Araevin returned expecting to see Ageira in it's prime. He was disappointed at what he saw. Ageira had came under new management, he promptly signed up and began his trades, but never received any feedback. Tired and disappointed he left Ageira and freelanced for some time. After careful consideration he sent an application to the USI, hoping to once again surround him with people he enjoyed. He was accepted by a man named Howard Morgan. He quickly found the USI very enjoyable and their routes creative. He is today happily trading and enjoying the youth which he had missed.

Name: Kurt Gruzlund Nicknames: "Gruz", "Gruzzy", "Chic", "Chico", "Grandmasta McGruzler" Age: 54 Gender: Male Origin: Planet Pittsburgh, New York System Citizenship: Libertonian Biography: Kurt's parents were Rheinland Citizens from Planet Hamburg who emigrated to Planet Pittsburgh in search of work. Mr. (Adolf) Gruzlund worked for many decades as a miner in the Boron pits on Pittsburgh and Mrs. Gruzlund worked as a cook at one of the local DSE-owned family restaurants. Adolf Gruzlund died at the age of 47 from a Boronic Bronchial Infection, a side-effect from so many years of mining.
Kurt Gruzlund was born on Planet Pittsburgh. A below average student growing up, Kurt struggled to fit in with the Libertonians but found himself more comfortable with the other refugees from around Sirius. His sharp wit and joking personality helped him build his network of friends through his early years.
After graduating high school, Kurt tried Boron mining with his father. After a few days, Kurt developed a dangerous reaction to the Boron dust and had to stop. He decided to take a risk, save up his money, and buy a low-end freighter to become an independent trader. This was a very dangerous career choice but one that Kurt's determination, wit, and charm could get him through. Sometimes Kurt's only weapon in pirate encounters was his friendly, unassuming personality.
Kurt began a long career as an independent trader. As he made profits from each run, he'd send half the money back to his mother and half would go towards investing in a new ship. Working on his own, Kurt honed his trade route calculation skills to an art-form. Kurt acquired larger and larger trading vessels as time went on and, in turn, earned larger and larger profits. Eventually at age 53, he began to feel the weight of Sirian Commerce Regulations and decided he needed to join a shipping company if he wanted to keep making money. He also longed for companionship and security on his routes and sought out a corporation that would fill that need. He joined the [*USI*] and rose in the ranks to Supervisor. Kurt also began training as an escort fighter pilot for the first time in his life, and after some time, advanced to the rank of Junior Cadet. Both his Large Train and Eagle Very Heavy Fighter are docked at Trenton Outpost for use depending on the situation.
Strengths: Friendly attitude; loyalty; route calculating Weaknesses: Rules; paperwork; standard procedure Friends: My [*USI*] buddies Foes: Pirates with no class, Boron.
