Johann is a very friendly and humble guy, though he doesn't sound like sometimes. As former Rheinlander he is lacking in the official Sirius language. He is normally calm and disciplined, but if you provoke him, he can be a hotblooded maniac.

Biography:

Hamburg Planet, Johann's Home World 787 A.S. Johann was born in St.Pauli City, Planet Hamburg. His father Walter worked his whole life as a dock worker for Republican Shipping at Altona Station. Because of the Rheinland economic situation, his mother Dorte never was employed on a permanent basis. She only did temporary work once in a while so that his father Walter worked all the more hard for the family income under the poor conditions Republican Shipping provided. Like the average citizen of Planet Hamburg he and his brother Lukas grew up very modest and under simple circumstances. As Johann was a good student his parents saved every credit for sending him to university after he finished his military service for the Rheinland Military.

Battleship Westfalen...

805 A.S.

After Johann was drafted by the Rheinland Military, he tried to get along with his situation. After he completed the basic training, the Rheinland military based him at Battleship Westfalen. There he performed his duty for two years and got the first taste of the real life. Johann was a horrible soldier, he questioned every order, every rule and was often in trouble because of his liberal ideology. While observing the secret transmissions of the subversive elements around System Hamburg, he developed some understanding for them and their situation. Every time he got punished and arrested for improper behavior, Johann looked at all the stars in the infinite vastness of the universe and dreamed about a free life without all the oppressions, laws and regulations.

New York System, Johann's time as exchange student 807 A.S. Johann started studying politics, economics and mathematics at the Hamburg University after he graduated high school. He finished the basic classes and used the possibility of a student exchange program to study for one year at the Manhattan University, New York system. There Johann took a classes in astronomy and english. The year in liberty was very interesting for Johann. He learned a lot about the history of Liberty, the people and their way of life and he also met another student from Rheinland, named Werner Mazursky who became one of his closest friends. Back in Rheinland he was going to finish his studies at the Chancellor Nikolaus Reinhardt University of New Berlin. While studying on Planet New Berlin he got in touch with the Bundschuh, their propaganda made them very popular among the students.

Vierlande Prison, Johann's nightmare

811 A.S.

One day a student association took him to Bruchsal Base in the Frankfurt system where they met to celebrate an anniversary. They had a great time, discussing, sharing ideas and of course celebrating. On their journey back to New Berlin Johann's life turned upside down. Their transport was stopped by the Rheinland Federal Police and they all got arrested for treason. But Johann was very lucky, their Prison Liner got attacked and damaged by Unioner and Hessian forces on the transfer to Vierlande Prison. The captain was forced to make stopover at Altona Station for some minor repairs. Fortunately the news were relative free to that time compared to today and Walter knew the whole story when Johann arrived at Altona Station. Walter knew the docks inside out and managed unrecognized to free Johann and took him to a Republican Shipping hangar, where he stole a Camara freighter and fled to Freeport 2.

Freeport 2, Johann's asylum 812 A.S. Johann was in a desperate situation, stranded at these weird outsiders called zoners. The people everybody ridicules, condemns and looks down on. Even Johann was making fun of them just a couple of days ago with his friends from the university. But this people treated him him very well, they respected the person and did not care about where he came from and what he did in the past. They all had their very own reasons for leaving their homeworlds, friends and families. Johann lived at Freeport 2 for a while and did minor jobs to pay his bills. But he still was stranded and wanted by the Rheinland authorities. One night when he was enjoying Astra, his favorite beer from Hamburg, Peter the bartender from Freeport 2 introduced Johann to a small untrustworthy looking man. He did not say his name, but by some more Astras Johann started complaining about his situation and the stranger showed sympathy for the desperate situation of the young man from Rheinland. He helped Johann to organize a new identity with clean files what cost him almost everything he got. Thenceforward Johann was known as John Chrichton and he prepared to leave Bering as a free man.

Freeport 9, the Consortium's first Office

813 A.S.

John remembered the dream he had as young soldier sitting in arrest, the way of life without all the oppressions, laws and regulations. It seemed it came true, he got inspired by the way of the zoners. John started the engines of his Camara freighter, undocked from Freeport 2 and set a straight course to the wild and unregulated systems outside colonial control, to learn more about his new fellows. After month of exploring and enjoying his free life he jumped the chance to launch his own small logistics company and rented a small office on Freeport 9, Omicron Theta. Once again John was at the right time at the right place. His small business did prosper quire well over the years, but suddenly he faced a lot of new problems. The number of pirated Zoner trading ships increased every year. To secure his income and primarily his and his employees lives, John called his old friend Werner Mazursky for help. Werner followed his call and they developed the concept of a organization which is able to serve the needs and treats everybody fair and equal, the Zoners Consortium. Attracted by this concept a former IMG guard joined the Consortium, William Topper. These were the first partners of this small organization what became more and more attractive to zoner traders, researchers and guards, who joined the ranks.

817 A.S Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination The Consortium became more and more successful The Consortium did very well and grew constantly to big organization and reliable partner in the Omicrons. John was more than happy how everything evolved and a few weeks ago, John recieved a message from Planet Hamburg. His brother Lukas told him that the Rheinland Federal Police closed the proceedings against Johann Boll. John was mulling over what to do. He can return to his planet, friends and family, but than he have to abandon his good consortium fellows. His decision was to stay at the zoners, that is the life he always liked to have. There was no need anymore for a assumed name, so he decided to reuse his real name again: Johann Boll. But he badly missed his family, his brother Lukas and his parents Walter and Dorte. The life in Rheinland was getting more and more delicate, especially on Planet Hamburg. So Johann convinced his parent to leave their homeworld and start a new life in the Omicrons, like he did. Even Lukas followed his call and so the whole Boll family settled down on Freeport XV.

(]c[)Auzawandilaz

As Johann got the chance to get his hands on this ship, he didn't hesitate. A friend of a friend introduced him to another friend, who sold these fine vessels. He sold his Kujira - T-482-T GMG Transport at Freeport 9 and took a ferry to Livadia Shipyards, where he met this guy, who reserved one of this highly coveted vessels for him. When he saw the Auzawandilaz the first time, he instantly knew he did the best investment he ever did. This vessel's flight abilities are unmatched in it's class, not to mention the grace it appears.

(]c[)Welanduz

After the Consortium started to concentrate more on researches Johann decided to invest money in an exploration vessel. When the Welanduz was delivered to Livadia Shipyards, Johann invested a fair sum to remodel this ship for his needs. He needed a vessel to support the Consortium's Research Department, transport important cargo in a save way and what is serving as a small conference room during diplomatic meetings and other negotiations as well as Johann's mobile home. So he spent some more money on the interior.

(]c[)Orendel

When the consortium became more successful it automatic attracted more attention. To underline the consortium's arguments with some weight, the board decided to establish a security wing. The Orendel was the first flagship of the consortium security fleet and was specially built for the zoners consortium after the latest standards. It served it's purpose very well and helped to establish the consortium as strong and reliable partner in the Omicrons. Later the Orendel was replaced as flagship by the Aquilon carrier Springfield.
