Jack of Harts

My family had extensive business dealings in the Hyades Cluster long before The War came upon us all. We had operations on many Hyades worlds and contacts on many others. That is one of the reasons I had some standing in the cluster. The Hurst name was known. It gave me a foot in the door. It made certain that people would listen to me when I spoke. But it was my own words and actions, and the actions of all the Cowboys, that made the changes I wanted in the cluster. Not the changes my family wanted. The Hyades Cluster you see today was not the goal my family sought. They wanted something they controlled.
