Menchet Region
The Menchet Region is a dense cluster of stars near the center of the galaxy. There are only a few habitable planets in the region and they are mostly agricultural in nature.

Chapter 3
People of the Galaxy
Robert Griffin was born on the planet Pangea, the only son of Marcus and Arianna, well to do farmers in the Zephyr Mountain district. Robert did not know as a child, but his parents were very wealthy and had off world property, the profit was used to fund seditious acts against the Socialist Alliance government that had control of Pangea. Robert was twelve when the government discovered the acts of his parents and used the recent knowledge that they had helped hide a political fugitive as an excuse to execute the entire family. The family was warned and Robert was able to hide and get away. Robert spent the next five years living off of the land and the kindness of people in the nearby village. This period of relative isolation led Robert to become a very reserved person. He does not trust easily or open up to anyone until he knows them well. But he is extremely loyal to those he does know and trust. Robert is also very intelligent and mechanically inclined. He has soaked up whatever knowledge he could get. Robert is handsome in his own way, well built and rugged from his survival in the mountains. He has blondish brown hair and blue eyes.
Robert escaped from the planet Pangea in a rebuilt starfighter. He finds his way to the planet Deseret where he finds old family friends who take him in. Upon completion of school he is recruited by the Space Marines and attends the Military Academy. He graduates top of his class and is given command of a new special forces squadron, Liberation Squad, part of the a Republic’s elite group known as Guardian Force. Their mission is to protect the Republic’s interests and freedom throughout the galaxy. Eventually Robert and his squadron spearhead the mission that attacks Pangea. Robert is instrumental in the dictator Javis Zaragoza’s death and the planet happily welcomes the chance to become members of the Galactic Republic.
Shortly after the liberation of Pangea Robert officially resigns his commission and is elected to the Galactic Republic Senate for Pangea. He quickly finds a niche in the senate as a valued member of intelligence and military committees. He proposes to his former squad member Karissa Wanner, she turns him down. He is depressed over this and takes a leave of absence back to Pangea. During his time there he gets involved with Pangean intelligence organizations tracking the new socialist dictator, Fontana D’or, finds that one of his cousins, Mathoni Griffin, survived the family purge as well, and becomes reacquainted with a childhood friend, Jessica Henness. Robert begins courting Jessica and they eventually marry. Robert becomes involved increasingly with intelligence planning operations while fulfilling his senate duties. His shipboard computer personality Byte is discovered to be the galaxies first AI, but it is unknown how it happened and the Republic cannot yet duplicate it, although the Alltradeuin Empire discovers the secret. Robert stays very involved in everything that is going on in the galaxy and is much more hands on than a senator should be. There are numerous threats on his life as well as the lives of his wife and children. Yet somehow he and his family manage to stay alive and grow to old age. Robert eventually becomes a party minority leader in the senate.
Mathoni Griffin was a very small child when his parents were killed for simply being part of the Griffin family. He was rescued by a neighbor and good friend and she raised him as her own. Mathoni is average height and build with dark brown hair and deep blue eyes. He is friendly and outgoing, but is also competitive and likes to win and have things go his way. He was informed of his heritage when Pangea was freed and after Robert became a senator. He becomes one of the first intelligence agents from Pangea to work for the Republic. One of his first assignments as an intelligence agent puts him in the government offices of the Socialist Alliance at Rio Querino. Fontana D’or spends most of her time there since it is her home world. There Mathoni becomes acquainted with Emily Giagua, the kidnapped daughter of Middoni Giagua. She has become convinced that the Socialists are right and the Republic is evil. Despite that Mathoni still falls in love with her and because she is Fontana’s assistant is able to help Mathoni get a job as chief of security for Fontana. Mathoni is present when the Socialists first meet with Allena Dartin and the Tonin Meine from the Alltradeuin Empire and manages to get word to the Republic that the new force in the galaxy is planning on attacking them. The chance Mathoni gave them to prepare is the only thing that stopped the Alltradeuins from conquering the Republic. When the Republic invades Rio Querino as retribution for the Socialists sending the Alltradeuin Empire to attack them Mathoni is the one that stops Fontana from escaping by assassinating her. Unfortunately Emily witnesses the act and she manages to escape with the rest of the fleeing Socialist forces. Mathoni does not have the opportunity to talk to her for a couple of years, but his feelings never change. Because of the high profile assassination of Fontana Mathoni is ruined for field work as an intelligence agent. So Mathoni enters the world of business with a loan from his cousin Robert. He funds research and development of new weapons and ships and does as much covert actions as he can with the small private corporate army that he has raised. Before long his cousin, Robert’s adopted so
n, Teomnor joins him in business and they begin planning on how they can use their resources to bring down the Socialist Alliance once and for all. When Emily Giagua is named the new director of the Socialist Alliance Mathoni goes to her, she does still love him, but is very torn over what he did to her mentor Fontana. When Mathoni receives news that an attack Emily ordered resulted in the death of her younger brother Ecaj Mathoni is finally able to convince Emily to leave the Socialist Alliance behind. She still wants nothing to do with the Republic so Mathoni takes her to the neutral planet Atlantis II, where he has a large division of his company. They marry and Mathoni tries to stay out of galactic affairs to keep his wife happy. They have one son named Jarom.

She served Fontana lovingly as her assistant, but fell in love with Mathoni Griffin, who she did not know was a Republic spy. Emily was very involved in everything that Fontana did up until she was assassinated in front of Emily by her love, Mathoni. Since then she has been very torn apart and full of rage. Once she managed to get some control over her feelings the newly appointed Emperor Macklan gave her commander of "Fleet D," a large fleet of the Socialist’s strongest warships. Her assignment was to inflict as much damage on the Republic as she could. She loyally served Macklan during the civil war which had been started by Teomnor Griffin claiming to be the legitimate heir to the Socialist throne. Upon Emperor Macklan's death Emily took control over the remaining Socialist forces and titled herself the Director of the Socialist Alliance. After the civil war in which Teomnor Griffin Zaragoza took control of the Socialist worlds Emily led her fleets into hiding in the Hesperus Sector. It was there that Mathoni found her and convinced her to give up control of her ships and to go away with him. When she left her ships joined with the newly elected government of the Socialist Alliance. Emily married Mathoni and became involved in the running of his company.

He joined the Republic’s army and due to his work at Rio Querino in the battle and in dealing with the insurgencies afterwards he became the youngest Colonel in Republic history. He continued to prove himself and excellent commander and when General Sular Hammith announced that he was retiring he surprised everyone by suggesting that Teomnor be promoted and put in command of all Republic Army forces. When the time was right Teomnor went into Socialist space and claimed the throne of his grandfather as his own. This started a civil war in which Macklan was overthrown as the socialist leader. Teomnor restructured the government giving the people the chance to elect their leaders, and then retired with his true love to a distant and peaceful planet.
