Jack of Harts

Charles knew how powerful a good business suit could be. He grew up wearing them and knew how people saw them. The competence people saw in those who wore them well. It was his bias as a Family man, you understand, but it worked. It allowed the people of the Hyades Cluster to see us differently, and that new view followed us after War’s End. Wherever we went, we were suit-wearing peacekeepers, not a military or paramilitary organization with the firepower to overthrow Third World planets. We were Cowboys. He enforced this plan right up to the day he retired. Then it was time for him to make a new type of plan. But I won’t spoil that one for you right now. Don’t worry though. It’s a good one.
