Jack of Harts

My family considered themselves above the ideas of petty national politics. Nations were a way of dividing people but not the power and assets of a family like mine. We helped the Russians and Chinese settle new colonies just as we helped finance Western Alliance ventures. One fact that never was widely promoted on the networks influenced by my family was our deep financial stake in exploiting the Hyades Cluster. We had worked with the Chinese for decades in the long-term venture of making the cluster a center of industry in the stars. And when The War started, it was in our interest to secure those investments. That is why my family supported the Hyades offensive.
