[Michael Trenton]

Name: Michael Trenton
Age: 27
Gender: Male
Origin: Ouray Base, Colorado System
Citizenship: Libertonian
Biography: Michael Trenton comes from a quarreled family, his mother's side are Xenos and his father's side are all Universal traders. When he was a young pilot, he left Universal and his father to live with his mother on Ouray Base. He was trained to be a fighter pilot there and was promoted to a 'Royal' in the Xeno ranks. However, even though he wanted to be loyal to his family, he just didn't have the same moral values as them. He was allowed to leave the Xeno Alliance, without any hindrance thanks to his mother.

After he was accepted back into Universal Shipping Incorporated, he made a lot of changes to the company. He trained the escort pilots, some say better than Liberty's finest. He showed the employees new and safer routes. Then after his father passed away he met Erik T. Demoses. After these two met, USI started to grow in strength and in numbers. Shortly after Michael created the Social Services Office, a new 'department' for USI. This department would seperate the boys from men when it comes to shipping companies.

After Erik was captured by the Lane Hackers, Denny Crane took the presidency by default, since Michael was afraid to follow his father's footsteps at the time. He didn't think he was good enough to be President just quite yet. He wanted to investigate and find Mr. Demoses before it was too late, but it ended up a wild goose chase.

A half of a year later, Denny Crane stepped down from his position as President to a Supervisor. He claimed that he was getting too old for the responsibility and wanted to focus on what he wants to do in his life. This is when Michael stepped up and decided that the time was now, if there ever was a time to do it and he became President of Universal Shipping Incorporated. He's hoping that he'll be better than his father and help those in need.

[Michael Trenton]

Name: Denny Crane
Age: 61
Gender: Male
Origin: Planet Denver, Colorado System
Citizenship: Libertonian
Biography: Denny comes from a wealthy family on Denver. His fathers business as a lawyer had granted Denny a life of privileged in Liberty society. Whilst being raised on his mothers Dude ranch provided the main influences. Breeding from the one true line of earth horses had produced all the skills and qualities of the old earth 'cowboys' in Denny.

Denny's education whilst extensive and of a legal theme was always governed by his love of sport and fitness, those that knew him well were not surprised that he started his career as a Physical Training Instructor with the LPI. When the LPI expanded his training to include space patrols Denny's ground based ambitions ended and he found himself increasingly consumed by the ways of Sirius and where Liberty stood amongst them. The transition was completed with the death of his father and his inheritance of the business. The legal aspect was well understood by Crane but the he was unaware of the many assets that came with it. Chiefly amongst these were the company Sirius Cybernetics Inc. which he almost totally owns and a considerable holding of shares in USI. Both had proved reliable and became Denny's main line of business as the effects of the Nomad war destroyed the parts of the law firm outside of Liberty.

Denny then took every opportunity to increase his hold on USI. His first step was to take a job as a trainee with them, gaining valuable knowledge of their operational procedures. Technology he possessed at Sirius Cybernetics Inc. processed every scrap of information he learned, performed intricate analysis and designed sophisticated Neural Net enhancements with heuristic capabilities for USI. After personally testing them he demonstrated the benefits of their use to Erik Demoses and Michael Trenton showing how they would greatly increase USI's efficiency and ipso facto. their profitability. They were very impressed by Cranes improvements, which they immediately adopted. Crane was directly promoted from Supervisor to Manager, aquiring yet more knowledge about USI in the process to further enhance the new systems.

Denny is a shameless self publicist and womanizer. Not satisfied with his own three wives he has had several dozen others, much to the irritation of most of their husbands, and brags about it frequently. This has perhaps lead to his love of concealed weapons which, no doubt, has helped preserved his life thus far.

As Denny has aged he has appeared to become bolder than his ability to fend off attacks. The reason, which he hides from all, stems from his fathers eventual death due to advanced Alzheimer's Disease. This is not what killed his father, but is what is shown on his death certificate. The truth being that Denny couldn't bare to see his mothers suffering as the man she loved was taken away from her, piece by piece. So, he had put him out of their suffering by increasing the dose of his pain killers. Cranes donation to the Alzheimer's Society was substantial and drew the attention of the press, and everyone else, away from his other actions.

Though he would never throw his life away he dreads the prospect that he will probably share his fathers fate. His almost phobic fear of becoming a vegetable is sometimes betrayed by Denny covering anything he suspects to be Alzheimer's related as actually being 'Mad Cow Disease'. Which, given the rest of his behavior, has convinced most pundits of its veracity. Denny often cites the example of him turning the tables on the last pirate to blow the Boston out of the skies. His crew, having been personally trained by him, took over the pirates vessel after they were tractored aboard with the Bostons cargo.

Recently: The fearless former president Denny Crane decided to step down from office and retire. Threats from his successes forced him to make this decision, but not before he made sure USI was in good hands. He left his seat to Mr. Michael Trenton, the son of the Trenton Family who originally created Universal.

Biography: Like most traders in the open expanse of Sirius space, Lance got his start hauling small loads for small contractors in Pennsylvania.

After much initial success -- and several ship upgrades throughout Sirius -- Lance became the captain of private container transport "Akegata" flying between Liberty, Bretonia, and Kusari on a contract-basis. His crew management and gut navigational abilities were noticed by Universal Shipping recruiters, and in 795 A.S., Lance took command of the Train "Long Island" under the Universal Shipping, Inc.

Recently: After being with the corporation for a few months, he led a crew of over 100 aboard the "Long Island."

Citizenship: Libertonian
Biography: Born on Planet Pittsburgh, Howard started to work for DSE at the age of 21 and took control of his own DSE ship at the age of 28. Although Howard was a hard worker, DSE didn't like how long it took him to build simple objects, so they 'Let him go'. In response of the departure from DSE, Howard finished his Advanced Piloting test and was able to pilot his own Transport vessel. However as he wasn't getting paid, he turned to Universal Shipping to help him out. They gladly took him into their corporation. Although Howard was an ideal candidate for himself to Pilot his own vessel, Universal made him a simple crewmen on USI-Richfield, but due to the absence of Captain Cartlidge and it's Co-Captain Martain Bailey, Universal directed Howard to the Captain's seat. As Howard continued to impress Universal, he had a full contract to command USI-Richfield. He also received another transporting vessel, known as "Little Richfield". In response to the reward of "Little Richfield" he nicknamed the original ship "The Big Daddy" even though both ships had the same call-sign it was clear as Kansas which one was which.

Gender: Male
Origin: Planet Manhattan, New York System
Citizenship: Libertonian
Biography: Archologingal Geon, loves his name, even though everyone hates pronouncing it, so he allows people to call him "Arch". The Geon Family were the 'Party Kings" of Liberty. They loved to have fun, while working too. They were always out to have a good time, no matter what happened and Arch was no different. He always had fun. His history is not clear, however he was raised by a Zoner Family on a Freeport station in Bering. As Arch's party genes still mattered to him, he decided to head for the center of Liberty in search of an 'awesome' future. As Arch was unaware of who his proper parents were he still parted every night. One day while he was in the bar on Trenton Outpost delivering simple drinks that he made himself, Mr. Michael Trenton saw his confidence as soon as he saw him. In response Mr. Trenton wanted to know more about this friendly person. As the two of them got to know each other better Mr. Trenton doubted Arch's ability to work within USI, but no matter of his doubts, Mr. Trenton allowed himself to give Arch a test run in SSO. Arch's presence cheered a lot of people up, but he always left a mess in the bar every time they 'Rocked out'. Mr. Trenton was impressed the affect that Arch had on everyone. He seemed to think that everyone forgot the Pirate and Rhienland threat. He was an Anti-worry person. As another 'party' took place, Mr. Trenton explained to Arch what the SSO department was to do.

[Michael Trenton]

Name: Jason Decker
Age: 28
Gender: Male
Origin: Planet Manhattan, New York System
Citizenship: Libertonian
Biography: Decker has always been a closed man, What little information about him that has come to light is rather odd. He always looked for danger during his teenage years. When he was 19 he enrolled at the West Point military academy in the hopes of joining the navy. However, he fell in with an aspiring ensign Jason Hughes. Hughes was short tempered and like Decker, his mouth often got him into trouble.

Reports are sketchy but according to details gathered, the two of them decided to start a fight on the eve of their graduation ceremony. An event that saw both of them put back to Trainee level. However, Decker decided to leave shortly after that. The next couple of years were a blur. Decker bought a gull and began hopping all over Sirius. Including Bretonia, Liberty, Kusari and the Tau's. He visited many strange places as a freelancer. When he re-appeared in Liberty space, the first ship he encountered was the LNS "Furious-Absolution" which was under the command of Captain Hughes. Hughes escorted him to New York but was called away to attend to other matters. While Decker was walking the streets, he noticed a recruitment office for the USI, he immediately enlisted. He has found that convoys and the general sense of being in one, to be very rewarding.
