The Corporation / Distant Light
The Enterios Corporation is providing the initial funding for the establishment of the Phaelos III colony, as well as owning the Distant Light, the massive colony ship transporting the colonists. Enterios has funded massive endeavors over its century-and-a-half history, but rarely of such galactic importance or political visibility. As such, the Enterios Board of Directors are watching the colony extremely closely, and the CEO, N. Stormsmith ((Erik Chen)), is accompanying the expedition in person.

Description:
Some people don’t take pride in what they do. That’s always confused you. You’re excellent at what you do--among the best--and you’re intensely proud of that fact. Your mother was a Navigator during the Homeworld War, and she gave her life for the U.A.W. when her jumpship was shot down by Agerrans. She was proud to fly, and you’re proud to follow in her footsteps. As soon as you were old enough, you enrolled in the Enterios Navigator training program.
Some people called you a prodigy; you were never sure if you deserved that title, but you never turned it down. Within a few years of your graduation, you were back at the program, this time as a teacher, training new cadets. Enterios used you as an ambassador for the Navigator program, and you happily toured the Homeworlds and colonies, helping recruit new would-be Navigators into what you quickly began to think of as your program.
Your role as spokesperson also gave you influence within the company, influence you quickly tried to use to push for more respect for Navigators. Previously they had been seen as specialized labor, and pay was certainly good, but they were not notably treated differently from other Augments. Navigators were susceptible to the same types of exploitative contracts and manipulative traits as other Enterios Augments. You worked to change that.
To an extent, you succeeded. You certainly helped make Navigators more visible within the company, and taken more seriously. At first, you had a useful ally in L. Auberro ((Jules Robins)), one of the higher-ups of the company, who was very sympathetic towards your cause. Unfortunately, Auberro was fired for apparently covering up a security exploit in the Navigator cyberware. Auberro told you that they’d been framed and were taking the fall for someone else; you believed them, but could never prove anything, and weren’t about to put your career on the line for Auberro.
The other project you attempted to support was cracking down on illegal Navigators. You know the Seventeen Hands crime syndicate is making their own Navigators, and these so-called Handmade Navigators… well, they disgust you, to be honest. They’re poorly made, and poorly trained. They’ll get themselves and everyone aboard their ships killed, sooner or later. Your insistence on bringing down that system isn’t just about your own pride--it’s for the good of everyone, including the Handmade Navigators. You plan to get back in touch with Auberro about this, as you hear that since leaving Enterios, Auberro has become a politician. They might be able to help support the crackdown.
When the time came for Enterios to relaunch the Distant Light several years ago, you were the obvious choice to lead the trio of Navigators. You were allowed to choose your copilots, and it was not a difficult choice. P. Caesura ((Susan Linich)) had been a teacher of Navigators for years, even helping with your own training. Your third pilot would be B. Ana Rous ((Christina Wong)), one of your own students, and the fastest learner you ever trained. The three of you made an excellent team, minds linking together smoothly and effectively. You were one with the warp engines, and it was a joy to fly.
Shortly after the announcement that Enterios would be sending the Distant Light to help settle Phaelos III, things fell apart. During what should have been a routine jump, Caesura freaked out, adrenaline levels skyrocketing out of nowhere. The feedback nearly killed both you and Ana Rous, but years of practice kept you stable long enough to finish the warp and disconnect Caesura from the engine.
It was too late for Caesura, though. Their implants were damaged, and their nervous system a wreck. They took an indefinite medical leave. The timing was impossibly suspicious, though, and you and Ana Rous began to look for evidence of foul play. You found it in your own brains, in memory patterns mirrored through the warp engine. Someone had implanted a seizure program in Caesura’s brain, almost certainly using the backdoor that Auberro was fired for covering up, which had ostensibly been patched.
You don’t know who was responsible, but you’re furious. You haven’t been able to bring yourself to tell Caesura, though. You don’t really want to tell them until you have more proof, until you find who was responsible. Ana Rous has done memory analysis and suspects that whoever did it is likely of Gyra descent and spent a significant time on Dor Len Sono, but given the quantity of resettled refugees there, that doesn’t narrow the margin much.
In the meantime, you have to cope with Caesura’s replacement. G. Nyr-fan ((Seamus Reynolds)) seems nice, and is trying hard to mesh with you and Ana Rous, but the results are rocky. The timing all seems so suspicious, and you can’t shake the feeling that Nyr-fan is hiding something. You don’t like it. But maybe you’re just being paranoid. Ana Rous insists that it’s just the pain of losing Caesura, that you don’t want them to just be replaced like that. The three of you became one with the ship, and the Distant Light was a part of you. Nyr-fan can’t just take Caesura’s place. Things don’t work like that. But you’re a professional, first and foremost, and a proud Navigator. You’ll work with Nyr-fan, and you’ll get your ship to where it needs to go.
Light: You’re passionate and outspoken about making the world a better and more comfortable place. The bonds you form with others are unbreakable, and you love those you’re close to incredibly deeply.
Dark: You’re self-confident to the point of hubris, and there really is no problem you don’t think you can’t solve. You’re sure you’re right, and loathe backing down.
