A Selection Of Famous People From The Commonwealth

	His Majesty King Stabilo Richard Horatio Robert Windsor II
Our illustrious monarch. Came to the throne in 3182 on the death of his father King Stabilo I. Very politically active much in the vein of his father who was a great believer that a Commonwealth monarch should 'lead from the front'. There are rumours that His Majesty occasionally goes 'under-cover' within the community to get a better feel for the thoughts of his populace.
	Lord Michael Young KCB DTE Marquess of New London Prime Minister Wolf 359 Commonwealth
Lord Young is yet another member of the famous Young dynasty. The first Young of course, Lord Colin Young was captain of the first colony ship to touch down on Wolf 359. As Colin was, Michael is also a great friend of the current King as well as being leader of the Progressives Party. He became PM during the election of 3199 after a no confidence vote in the then current Liberal government.
	Sir Marmaduke Pendragon KCB Baronet of York Minister of Defence Wolf 359 Commonwealth
Sir Pendragon is an astute politician who changed from the Conservatives to the Progressives just prior to the previous election. He is considered an arch traditionalist and more a manager than military man. He is seen as a safe pair of hands, politically speaking by the more conservative elements in the Commonwealth. He is a member of one of the richest and oldest Commonwealth families.
	Lord Donald Mycroft Featherstonehaugh KotC Duke of Barba Minister of Internal Security Wolf 359 Commonwealth
Duke Featherstonehaugh had a steady and reliable career in the security services before taking his seat in Parliament on the death of his father fifteen years ago. He is seen as a 'good man' and an 'excellent administrator' and was a popular choice for his current office.
	Lord George Peters DTE GS Baron of Lincon
Retired at the end of 3201 as High Admiral of the Pack after an illustrious career in the Royal Navy rising from the rank of Ensign to his final position of overall command of the RN. A loyal subject and a very bright man, his experience will be sorely missed by the Commonwealth. We wish him well at whatever he does in the future.
	High Admiral of the Pack Lord Stewart Carley DTE C-in-C RN Baron of New Cornwall
Baron Carley is the new High Admiral from the start of 3202 replacing Lord Peters. An able intelligent officer, a good leader of men, a good motivator and very creative when the situation calls for it. He is also a war hero as commander of the Commonwealth forces in Q5 against the Exterminators. He was a surprising choice for some as a non-enhanced, but his outstanding record has currently silenced his critics.
	Admiral of the Grey Wolf Sir Roger Farley DTE KotB C-in-C RN Q7 Knight of the Realm
A capable, intelligent and experienced officer, he is currently commander of the joint human forces in Q7. His short fuse and explosive temper are legendary throughout the RN. "He shows no fear in the face of the enemy or his superiors." His temper has quite often landed him in trouble, but his talent, drive and commitment have still allowed him to rise from Alpha Lt to his current position.
	Alpha Ravener David Jarrold
A distinguished and respected officer, Jarrold is often considered a 'safe pair of hands' for difficult or unusual jobs. His quiet manner hides a very sharp mind with an extensive knowledge of military history from all around human space. He has just been given the most difficult and prestigious task of his career as he has been selected to lead the combined marine forces on the Deep Space Mission leaving early in 3202.
	Dr John Rice
Dr. Rice is often regarded as the 'forgotten' founder of the Commonwealth. But without his brilliant mind, a large number of the Commonwealth's systems would not be what they are today. His main areas of expertise were planetary terraforming and social engineering. Some of the Commonwealth's systems are still very close to Dr. Rice's original designs in look. His trade mark was a bungalow built on a remote mountain where he could meditate undisturbed by the modern world. Some of these bungalows still exist today and are a site of pilgrimage for many people. His social engineering principles were even more successful and many worlds through out the quadrants have societies whose core principles were constructed by Dr. Rice.
