Young Life
Youth
Little is known about Jacob Jansen's youth. His parents, siblings are all a mystery. There have been many security checks that have looked into his past and all have come up with more questions than answers. What is knows is that Jacob Jansen was born on his home planet of Hapes. He is Hapan by species, but that’s all the Hapan there is in him. Jacob believes in change, something Hapans do little of. From what Jacob has said about his past and what has been passed on by Hapan Intelligence. Jacob was inducted into the Hapes Navay Academy at a young age where he learned much about Naval Tactics and the galaxy. Like most kids his age, he wanted to learn more. Hapans are very isolated people. Never leaving their borders and in return, not allowing anyone in. Time passed and Jacob excelled in all of his classes and studies. He would for sure make a fine naval commander in the Royal Hapan Navy if it was not for his divine calling to explore the unknown. After a small episode with his commanding officer, Jacob resigned from the Academy and left the planet. His departure was not permitted and he would be placed under arrest for sure if he were to be caught. However his training gave him an advantage. He quietly left they system and soon after, the cluster. The craft Jacob had taken was hardly up for any long voyage to the Inner Core as he planed. The closest sector to his position was Glythe, under the control of the Trade Federation. Even among Hapans, the Trade Federation is considered a trustworthy and loyal establishment for trade and government. Jacob decided to take refuge in the Federation and perhaps serve in their mighty Navy.
Joining the Federation
Upon arriving on Vinsoth, Jacob quickly made his way to the recruitment department where he passed all of his entry exams with high scores. This naturally attracted attention and got him placed into the 2nd Fleet under Kell Archis, his commanding officer. Jacob was given command of the Carrack/S-class Light Cruiser TFN Peacekeeper. Jacob's performance in the Department of Defense was outstanding and he quickly gained the trust of Kell Archis who promoted Jacob to the rank of Tribune and Trias Territory Military Governor. Military Governor gave Jacob his first true command in the Trade Federation. The Trias Territory only had a few systems, but Jacob organized a defense system that was matched by no other. Time passed and the day came where Director of Defense Kell Archis resigned and his Deputy, Centauri Tyridius took over. This is the first time Jacob had worked with Centauri, but it was not the last. Jacob and Centauri formed a friendship that to this day remains.
Assisting the CIS
Corporate Alliance
It was clear to Jacob that if he wanted to persew a political career in the Trade Federation, he would need to expand his experience and relations within the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Jacob started to look around and came across an opening in the Corporate Alliance who was looking for a trustworthy member to lead its Logistics Department. It was the opportunity Jacob was looking for and he left the Trade Federation on good terms taking up the his new challenge in the Corporate Alliance. The Corporate Alliance was lead by President Garven Stalwart, one of Horley Cyan's people. Garven was a well respected man in the Trade Industry and Jacob was eager to learn much from him. The Logistical Department in the Corporate Alliance was a mess. It took much skill and discipline from Jacob to turn it around. However, it was a mark Jacob achieved very quickly. This impressed Garven Stalwart and for his accomplishment, Jacob was promoted to Vice President of the Corporate Alliance. Moving into leadership of the Alliance was a huge move for Jacob. Working one and one with Garven Stalwart formed an alliance that only best of friends have. Jacob and Garven proved to be a great team turning loss into profit within the Alliance. However times in the Trade Federation were beginning to get hard. Viceroy Horley Cyan had stepped down and former Viceroy Corbin Esco had taken back power. Much was changing and Jacob decided to return to the Federation. With much regret, Jacob left the Corporate Alliance and returned to the Trade Federation.
Trade Federation
On Jacob's Arrival, Jacob had a meeting Centauri Tyridius who then offered Jacob the title of Minister and command of the newly formed Ministry of the Interior. It was a just what Jacob was looking for and he happily accepted. As Minister of the Interior, Jacob oversaw the Logistics Corps as well as the Department of Industry. This gave Jacob the ability to keep a close eye on all of the Trade Federation's facilities and cities over the entire Glythe Sector. Not a small task, but one Jacob was fully capable of handling. Jacob spent a good amount of time as Minister working with Centauri Tyridius and the Federation Cabinet. He survived the resignation of Viceroy Corbin Esco and the puny attempt by Darvock Tarion to assume power from then Duceroy Bren Morgarr.
Techno Union
Meanwhile, the Techno Union began to suffer from its lack of leadership. As the Techno Union was a huge part of the Federation's future, Jacob volunteered to take temporary command. The vote was passed and Jacob was appointed President of the Techno Union. Jacob was given 3 simple tasks for his work in the Techno Union. Revitilize the members of the Techno Union, restore production and stabilize income. Over a short period of time, all these goals were completed and Jacob was now leading a large competitor in the ship building industry. Sales were up, new shipyards were under construction and there were many new applications to join the great faction. It was the golden age of the Techno Union.
Duceroyship
Jacob's job was all but over. The only obstacle that remained was his replacement. However Jacob was ahead of the game. He already had a replacement in play. At the same time, it so happens that Duceroy Centauri Tyridius had resigned from the Trade Federation. On his resignation, he gave but one name for his replacement. This was Jacob Jansen. The Cabinet had a quick vote and Jacob was nominated immediately as Duceroy of the Trade Federation. With much sorrow, Jacob left the Techno Union. Over his time, the TU had become his home and Jacob was very protective of it. However he had chosen a great and trustworthy man to lead and had no doubt that there would be any trouble. Jacob currently serves as Duceroy and has many plans for the future of the Trade Federation. Viceroy Bren Morgarr make a perfect team, much like Garven and Jacob in the CA. The future is bright and Jacob will no dough be a huge part of it. The Trade Federation has been good to Jacob Jansen, and he will do his very best to return the favor.
Jacob still holds this position today.
