Contacts

This is a list of the many contacts that the Travellers encounter during their lifetimes. Most of this is filled out by the Travellers as they go along. Contacts could be a Patron, an Ally, a Rival, an Enemy, or just someone that the group wants to keep track of.

Attitude is associated with how the Contact feels about the Travellers both individually and as a group. Attitude applies also to Systems that the Travellers interact with during their travels.

Perceived Attitude: ‘’’Silas Lane’’’ Affinity: 0 - None (start 0) Enmity: -1 Mistrustful (start -1)
Additional Details: Captain Brannu Loska is an influential officer hailing from the Horosho sector known for his stern demeanour and strict adherence to military hierarchy. As Silas discovered, Loska has used his position to manipulate multiple promotions, favouring under qualified relatives and his allies, to secure his influence within the Navy. Loska harbours a deep resentment towards Silas Lane, whose actions led to Loska's public disgrace, court-martial and removal from the Imperial Navy.


Byddryg Velyan - Enemy of Silas Lane

Date of First Interaction (Gazulin): 1099

Additional Details: Byddryg Velyan A wealthy industrialist from the Gazulin Subsector currently employed as a local executive for BioForm corporation (focusing on advanced agricultural research and the development of sustainable farming solutions. They provide genetically engineered crops, automated farming equipment, and habitat-support systems for colonies, specialising in arid or hostile world agriculture.) and on the rise. Velyan was severely traumatised at the loss of his family when the Pallique Galleon was destroyed and has been scarred emotionally and mentally. He blames Silas entirely for their death, believing it was preventable, having seen the footage that showed the Scout move to save others, even though the inquest freed Silas of guilt. Velyan covertly channels resources and connections, seeking to make Silas' life as difficult as possible.


Knight Lena Yaelmon - Ally of Silas Lane
Race: Vilani | Gender: Female | Age: ~40
Date of First Interaction (Exocet): 1103

Though not particularly powerful, Lena has a knack for gathering useful information and subtly influencing decisions within diplomatic circles. She admires Silas’s courage and offers support through her connections, helping Silas navigate the complexities of interstellar politics.


ENEMY's NAME: Kaartre Geh Burkh, 42 Years old
Date of First Interaction: Dromah - 1078-176?
Date of Most Recent Interaction: 1084-079

Perceived Attitude: (Which Traveller= her) (start??) (current)
Mikhel Dromah (Complete psychotic scumbag, worthy of the title, 'Sir'.) (Would kill him in a second, if it was possible not to be implicated)
Note: Vice-Director Burkh isn't aware that Mikhel Dromah exists, as he wasn't ever a Sternmetal Horizons employee/sub-contractor. Burkh may recall the names of Mikhel's parents and make the connection, should Mikhel be brought to his attention in sufficient prominence.

Additional Details:
Vice-Director Burkh was (is?) a very high level Sternmetal Horizon executive. He was extremely intelligent, exceedingly well educated, and able to recall minute details! He was an excellent leader, and shmoozer, and was devious in insidiously infiltrating a group and subverting it to his agenda. If only his abilities were devoted to the wellbeing of his staff/subordinates. However, it didn't take long for his staff/subordinates to understand they were expendible tools to his advancement. He wouldn't squander resources, but the lives of anyone around him were secondary to his promotions/bonuses. His education and intelligence made his plots almost impossible to thwart, nor likely able to develop evidence against him. He had a reputation of being teflon coated to disasters around him, as there was always an obvious scapegoat implicated.

There was, at least, one incident in which the Dromah family was nearly killed in an incident in Belt-9, where Burkh's orders were responsible for the threat/situation, and Burkh made money/bonuses. At least one for the family, but more than one incident where associates were lost to accidents in which Burkh had a hand.

NAME: James Crockett - human - male- 21 {estimated time at military academy when he met his 'friend for life' and Allie}

ALLIE's NAME: Amanda Parsons, 34 Years old
Date of First Interaction: Crockett - 1088 - First day of Marine Academy Intake
Date of First Interaction: Dromah - 1090-176
Date of Most Recent Interaction: TBD

Perceived Attitude: (Which Traveller= her) (start??) (current)
James Crockett Best Buddies Ever (For James to fill in...)
Mikhel Dromah (love at first sight) (would move the universe for her)
Additional Details:
Now a Lieutenant Colonel, and Regimental Commander of the Imperial Marines, Amanda has had a stellar career. She was a leader of a Pro-Imperial political movement in the Academy, making staunch friends and dangerous rivals. She graduated with Honours, and was promoted to Lieutenant on Graduation. Amanda was recognized for heroics on the battlefield in her first active term, gaining an instant promotion to Captain.
In her next term, she was in the thick of a lot of fighting, being the tactician that exploited a weakness and successfully lead troops in taking out a fortress. This gained her a promotion to Force Commander, a position at which she excelled. She lead from the front in a few tough planetary assaults and occupations, which gained her even more notice. As the next term of her service looms, she has reached the O4 grade level, and is in the process of deciding whether to continue as a Regimental Commander, or set out as an adventurer with her besties, Crockett and Dromah.

She has kept touch with both, as they have provided a 'safe' outlet for her to let off steam and have fun without judgment nor complications. Her family is immensely proud of her accomplishments and record, but wouldn't in anyway approve of either of the two men she courts (with strict discretion, as consorting with the lower ranks would be frowned upon).

Kaias Giirkaa - Human - Male - early 40's {estimated}
Date of First Interaction (Location): 1102-036 - Kydde
Date of Most Recent Interaction (Location): 1104-261- Imisaa
Perceived Attitude:
Mikhel Dromah (Grateful, and very appreciative of his sense of humor)
Additional Details:
Colonel, Imperial Marine Regimental Commander of the 6982nd Imperial Marine Regiment, and last interview on release from the Imperial Marines on 1104-261. Had some interaction with Mikhel after the battle on Kydde, and conducted the investigation of the incident. Colonel Giirkaa learned of Mikhel's idiocracies, and their mismatch had caused more than a bit of grief to Mikhel's career. Mikhel advised him that he didn't care, because he saved more lives being a peon on the front lines, than a leader in the rear.

A few days after the 'final release interview', a letter from the local TAS office showed up, with the acceptance to the Society. Mikhel was pretty stunned. He really doesn't know how, but he suspects...

Adkhar Urimshik- Human - Male - early 40's {estimated}
Date of First Interaction (Location): 1104-261 - Imisaa
Date of Most Recent Interaction (Location): 1104-275?- Exocet
Perceived Attitude:
Mikhel Dromah (Unfriendly, Not entirely disrespectful)
Additional Details:
Vice Admiral Sir Adkhar Urimshik, Count of Intelia (newly granted), is originally from Trin/Trin's Veil. Adkhar was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, and from that point, everyone around him fell over themselves to offer him anything he wanted on silver platters. He had every advantage, and made the most of all of them. He was smart, very good looking, and got the best of everything handed to him to make his life easy. From a distance, it would be very easy to hate this man. 'Entitled' doesn't even come close to describing his upbringing.
Born into the Trin Nobility, with the matriarch, Miraii Abani Arahailli, Duchess of Trin (House Arahailli) as a grandmother, Adkhar was a favorite. He didn't completely waste his youth, being bright, and did preparatory studies in psychology before entering into University. His studies were aimed at better understanding people (courtiers) and their hidden agendas. Then, he discovered the Naval Diplomatic branch, and saw ways to influence the future of the Spinward Marches. The growing Aslan threat was not insignificant, and being in the Navy, doing liaison work, appealed to Adkhar. It would allow him to influence things far beyond a small holding on an insignificant planet in the Spinward Marches.
Off to the Naval Academy on Rhylanor, where he was Valedictorian of his class, and one of the highest achieving candidates in the history of the Academy. It was noteworthy that only one instance of influence was apparent, and that was his acceptance being somewhat pushed by the Duchess, when his entrance exam was less than stellar. After that, he did it all on his own.
From that point, he steered his career down the path of Naval Attache to the Tlaiowaha Clan in Tlaiowaha/Tlaiowaha, Trojan Reach. His size and speed, as well as weapons training, made even duels with Aslan a formality. He wasn't an expert with a sword, but his speed and endurance let him defend himself well. When his opponent eventually tired, Adkhar could blaze in and defeat even blade masters.
Conceited would be a fitting label for Adkhar, but he is not a braggart. He has actually done the things on his record, and done them well. He is a recognized Fencing Master, and could be a Sector Champion, if he focused on it. However, he is really busy with his efforts to have the Imperium, or the local domains, at least, thwart the expansionist goals of the Aslan in the Trojan Reach.

Adkhar is a consummate Diplomat, and excellent pilot, very adept at laser pistols and blades, and has managed to formally upgrade his interest in Psychology.

Nashu Darrashnu - Human - Female - early 40's {estimated}
Date of First Interaction (Location): 1104-261 - Imisaa
Date of Most Recent Interaction (Location): 1104-275?- Exocet
Perceived Attitude:
Reth Runebreaker (For Jason to fill in...)
Mikhel Dromah (Grateful, looking forward to next meeting)
Additional Details:
Rear Admiral Nashu Darrashnu is part of the Naval Attache corps working with the Imperial Diplomatic branch, and currently liaising with the Tlaiowaha Clan in Tlaiowaha/Tlaiowaha, Trojan Reach. She comes from a noble family of ship builders on Glisten/Glisten (an asteroid belt), but didn't go through the Imperial Diplomatic branch, instead opting for a Naval career. Nashu graduated from the Naval Academy as the Fourth Frontier War was wrapping up. She was placed in the Naval Attache corps several times in her career, including right out of the Academy as an Aide de Camp for an Admiral in 1084. She has been in a few hard battles, including staving off an Aslan assault on Vorito in 1093. She was part of a Gambling Circle in 1096-1100, and rubbed shoulders with Reth Runebreaker a few times at the tables.

To be noted:

  1. She's a Belter, although from a high population system and not a corporate environment.
  2. She has elevated herself from her noble family's original level to a Countess through Imperial Service.
  3. Nashu is excellent with a blade, very quick and light on her feet.

Date of most recent direct Interaction (Torpol):1104-350 - Torpol "Sindal" Trojan Reach 2120 [Torpol?
Date of most recent indirect Interaction (Torpol):1104-350 - Torpol "Sindal" Trojan Reach 2120 [Torpol?
Perceived Attitude: Mikhel Dromah (frustration, low tolerance) (grudging respect, some suspicion)
James Crockett (start:suspicious) (current:more knowledge, but still very suspicious)

Additional Details:\\'Nicola' presented as a young lady in distress, during the Oghman Pirate Raid on Marduk on 1104-341. Pleading for sanctuary, Mikhel allowed her aboard, and provided a place to shelter. The young lady never properly identified herself, but made herself as useful as possible by maning the comms, while Pioneer crew went to the surface.
The young lady carried a small knife for self defense, but didn't carry or ask for anything else. Publicly, she didn't ever provide identifying information, but by medical scans was unaugmented human. She wss competent on comms, and with gleaning info from others.
Last seen, she departed at Torpol, where she was detained by Torpol Security.

Date of First Interaction: Albe- 1096?
Date of Most Recent Interaction: 1103

Perceived Attitude:

Rannogh Neutral, minor trust (Some superiority complex), Rannogh worked as an enforcer for Morton's criminal web on Albe for 8 years.

Additional Details:
Goes by TM, operates an extensive criminal network on Albe in the underground (underhive) has many corrupt politicians, police, and officials in his pocket.

Trilani Grossman, 55 Years old {estimated}

Date of Most Recent Interaction: 1099

Perceived Attitude:

Rannogh Hatred, attempted assassination, Rannogh was on the team that was to kill Grossman, ended up almost killing him and really causing a headache for his syndicate.
Additional Details:
Rannogh operated in a revenge based operation from the Morton Syndicate where Grossman was the target of assassination attempt, they came close enough together that Rannogh would be very recognizable to this individual. Rannogh's name is known but Grossman probably has bigger things on his radar than a random Vargr that was paid to kill him. Grossman operates a criminal syndicate in the underhive on Albe, has substaintial wealth and connections.

Okamoto Kazuki - Human - Male - late 50's {estimated}
Date of First Interaction (Location): 1084-205 - Pax Rulin
Date of Most Recent Interaction (Location): N/A

Perceived Attitude:
Mikhel Dromah (Hostile, Completely disrespectful)

Additional Details:
Okamoto Kazuki - First name means: "One who shines." (Names are reversed in Japanese, with Family name in front, so 'Kazuki' is the First or personal name.)
Then newly promoted Colonel Okamoto Kazuki, recently appointed Commandant of the Marine Academy at Pax Rulin, presided over a 'Captain's Mast' (Non-Judicial Punishment Hearing) of the accused Marine Mikhel Dromah, who had refused to follow the orders of the Directing Staff to polish his boots. The hearing did not go well for the Commandant, and he has held the opinion that Mikhel should have been thrown out of the Corps ever since. Mikhel Dromah has used the system against itself to protect his place in the Marines, but promotions and honors have eluded him.
Little does Mikhel know, but Okamoto has had his eye on Mikhel, and every time he could, Okamoto torpedoed any recognition of Mikhel. Currently ranked Major General Okamoto was on the Honors and Award Board at the time the Op REVIVAL nomination recommendations came through. Needless to say, no medal was awarded to Corpsman Dromah.
MGen Okamoto's current Duty Station is Sub-Sector Marine HQ, Tobia (As of 1102-001).

Note: There is some coincidental irony in the meaning of the MGen's first name and the situation (and specific subject) which tarnished his tenure as the Academy Commandant.

Itinerant Engineer

Kteaa Aoweh - Aslan - Female - 36
Homeworld: Mire/Darrian Confederation
Date of First Interaction (Location): N\A
Date of Most Recent Interaction (Location): N\A
Perceived Attitude: {Which Traveller} (start) (current)

Additional Details:
Kteaa has Aslan parents, but was raised completely in Darrian culture. She is fully pacifistic, knowing no martial arts, nor weapon skills. She has Darrian sensibilities and ethics.
Kteaa knows a lot of engineering specialties, but not extensively. She is, however, smart enough to sus out lots of problems in areas in which she doesn't have formal training. There are times when she won't deal well with people questioning her competence, a left over of subtle racial bias she encountered in the Darrian Confederation. Kteaa is a very patient teacher/instructor, but doesn't have time for people who don't give her the respect she thinks her knowledge deserves.
Kteaa is in the Outrim Void looking for a possible Aslan mate. She didn't like the Aslan she encountered in the Confederation, and thought there would be more choice nearer to the Aslan Hierate. Unfortunately, she is looking to find an Aslan male that doesn't exist. Her Aslan nature wants one type of mate, her Darrian culture loathes that type of behavior.
When first encountered, she will be sitting on her engineering toolkit, with assorted luggage around her, strumming random chords on an autoharp, surreptitiously examining the accoustics of the current area in which she is sitting.

Note 1: In her first Term, Kteaa found a pre-Maghiz artifact. This was a Darrian Flame Sculpture. It was confiscated by the Darrian Special Arm, but not before being inspired by the tech. This started Kteaa on a hobby of recreating her own sculptures, using Grav tech to manipulate the flames into features and shapes. Art(Visual Media) is the skill for this, augmented by all her Elect/Eng skills.

Note 2: Hey, Crockett! Ask if this young lady would be kind enough to give your laser weapons a once-over. Ask pretty please!

SOC is based on Kteaa's Academic standing within the Darrian Confederation, not the Imperium Nobility rank. Kteaa does expect to be acknowledged as a Respected Scholar, despite her young age and distance from the Darrian Confederation.

Anyone with Aslan experience in the Trojan Reaches will be unsettled dealing with Kteaa. She was raised Darrian, and learned Trokh (Aslan) and Anglic as second languages. Therefore, her accent is rooted in Te-zapet (Darrian), and she speaks Anglic with Vilani mannerisms (Due to her teachers), not Anglic with Trokh mannerisms. As a pacifist, Kteaa has a deferential presence, nothing like most Aslan. Kteaa also speaks with expansive hand gestures, emphasizing her words with flowing hands and fluttering fingers. This is another mannerism that sometimes distracts from the conversation. In addition, Te-Zapet and Vilani have tonal accents in their structure, so Kteaa's speech will have a song-like character. Because Kteaa rarely ever speaks loudly, people have to listen carefully to hear her. With the sing-song nature of her speech, and her penchant for brevity, this is not unpleasant. All native Aslan will identify Kteaa as something 'other than Aslan'.

Warrior (Reconnaissance)

Hlao Kisai - Aslan - Male - 28
Homeworld: Stohyus/Ranib (Trojan Reach 0835)
Date of First Interaction (Location): 1105-00? (Floating Palace)
Date of Most Recent Interaction (Location): N\A
Perceived Attitude: Kteaa (Unfriendly) (Neutral)
Perceived Attitude: Mikhel (Unfriendly) (Neutral)

This Warrior was met by Mikhel in Ranchando's Bazaar on the Floating Palace, and through this met Kteaa Aoweh. Hlao is a retainer of Kasiyl, the exiled Lord of the Ahroay’if Clan. Hlao reports back to Kasiyl, using his Recon skill to inform Kasiyl of the goings on in the near border systems of the Hierate. Although young and not greatly experienced, the young Aslan male is very good at relaying troop and ship movement information to Kasiyl. He is quite skilled in Melee, and his endurance will likely be a deciding factor, if he doesn't win quickly. He is very taken with Kteaa.
