Marco Salo is currently employed as an Officer of FSS in the Trade Federation, He is also a Master of the Evocati Order. Marco’s burning interest’s are exploring the galaxy as well as wanting to see as much of it as possible. He knows that information is power and he intends to collect as much of it has he can. Marco is a dedicated and fair leader always trying to get things done as efficient as possible
=Background=
===Growing Up===
----
Marco grew up on farm on the peaceful planet Cirlaphor with his father and mother both working hard to keep the food on the table and trying to give their only son the best upbringing possible. Being a farmer’s son he was taught early that hard work is the only way of getting ahead in this galaxy, these values follow Marco to this day.
===The Death of his Family===
----
When Marco was 23 years old he took Carama as his wife; soon after the marriage she gave birth to a baby boy and life couldn’t get any better for Marco and his new little family. However, this happiness wouldn’t last long, one night when Marco came home from spending the day selling his crop on the market he found his home burnt to the ground. Sadly both his wife and his still infant son had died in the flames.
===Leaving Cirlaphor===
----
The death of his family left Marco devastated, he decided to leave Cirlaphor and seek out the meaning of his life out in the galaxy. Said and done he traveled to the nearest city and found a trader. He traded his farm for a YT-2000 and set out to explore the galaxy. Sadly he didn’t really know how to pilot his new ship, thats when he came across a cybernetics “expert” whom told Marco that he had chips that contained the knowledge to fly ships.

===The Bad Chip===
----
Marco followed the “expert” to his lab and they started talking about the prices of the chips. They where very expensive so Marco had to settle for a used chip but he was reassured that the chip had been formatted and that nothing remained from the previous owner. Sadly he was mistaken the “expert” who did the implantation of the chip was a fraud and the experience almost cost Marco his life. Marco now carries the memories of the late Matte Starbringer, the previous carrier of the cybernetics implants placed within his brain.
----
==Across the galaxy==
Marco spent a few years flying around the galaxy and trying to get over the death of his family. He flew from one corner to another searching for some comfort and trying to find new meaning to his life. Marco remembered his fathers words about working hard.
----
==Derra Virus==
Even with all his experience, Marco got infected with the Derra virus. It changed him from the core and he is now living as a Ryn Male. The transition wasn't easy and nearly claimed his life, but thanks to the skilled medical staff of [[Trade Federation]] he lives and breathes

=Joining the Trade Federation=
===[[TF Ministry of Defence|Ministry of Defence]]===
----
After 3.5 years of space travel Marco remembered a recruitment poster for the Trade Federation that he saw just before he left Cirlaphor and decided to join the government to make the galaxy a better place for all to live in. He signed up for the Ministry of Defence and soon made friends with another young pilot named [[Mas Rarraf]], who showed him how the MoD worked. He somehow recognised Mas from somewhere; it was when they started talking that Marco realised that Mas and Matte had been friends in the Invisible Army. Marco settled right into MoD, feeling like a fish in water, and working hard to make his superiors happy.

===Promotion to Tribune and Gamma Group Commander===
----
When Marco had been in the MoD for a few months, working hard and getting good results on his missions he was promoted to Tribune and Gamma Group Commander in charge of the protection of Epidimi, Telti and Thrakia by the Minister of Defence, [[Centauri Tyridius]]. Marco felt proud of his promotion and worked even harder to show that he was worthy of his promotion.
===Deputy Minister of Defence===
----
After some time as Tribune and GGC, Minister Tyridius appointed [[Mas Rarraf]] minister of defence in order to focus on his job as [[Duceroy]] for Trade Federation. This became a crucial turning point in Marco’s career in the Ministry of Defence. He was contacted by his old friend [[Mas Rarraf]], asking for Marco to accept the position of deputy. Marco didn’t hesitate to take the offer to help his friend in the continuous work of making the MoD the efficient ministry it is today. 
----

===Minister Of Defence===
----
After serving as DMoD for some time in the [[Trade Federation]] Marco's CO [[Mas Rarraf]] was offered a position in the new faction [[InterGalactic Banking Clan]], This left the [[TF Ministry of Defence]] with out a leader. Marco was asked to pick up where his good friend left of. He did not hesitate for a second to serve the [[Trade Federation]] in new and more challenging way. He quickly settled in his new position as Minister.
----

===[[Duceroy]]===
----
After serving the [[Trade Federation]] for some time as Minister of Defence [[Viceroy]] Morgarr stepped down and was replaced by [[Jacob Jansen]]. Marco was asked by the newly appointed [[Viceroy]] to continue to serve the [[Trade Federation]] as [[Duceroy]], Marco had some doubts about accepting this position, but he finally accepted Jacob's offer to become [[Duceroy]]
----

===[[Chief Justice]]===
----
Marco's time as [[Duceroy]] was really short, he left it to tend to some pressing personal business. When he returned [[Horley Cyan]] had been appointed [[Duceroy]]. Marco wanted to still serve in the [[Trade Federation]] so he was offered the position [[Chief Justice]] , upholding the law and order of the federation. Marco served as  [[Chief Justice ]] till Year 9 day 220 , and loved every minute of it.

He was accepted in and currently spends his day with keeping the peace in Trade Federation territory
----
=A Third time in Ministry of Interior=
