Bio - Ethan Jackson

[Ethan_Jackson]

Age: 41

Place of birth: Planet New London.

Early life

Born to hard working parents, the young Ethan was a bright child who managed to get into one of New London's top schools. He attended university for a year, before deciding that it wasn't for him and leaving to make his way in the big, wide world. A brief stint in Bretonia's armed forces followed and, upon his discharge went into business for himself as a trader, taking pretty much any contract - no matter how small - to slowly build his assets and his reputation.


Recent activity

Since the events listed below, things have not been going so well for Ethan. Following an altercation in a New London bar, he spent nine months in the "service" of Queen Carina and, upon his release, found that all his business assets had been confiscated by the Crown. He now has to start again from scratch. Who knows what the future may hold, or in which direction it will take him.

Jackson is now an entrepreneur, owning and running two companies : EJ construction and EJ Haulage, both of which are part of his umbrella company, EJ Trading. Although he handles the day to day running of his companies, he still likes to "get his hands dirty", fulfilling some contracts himself in his personal "Serenity" class transport. He has often voiced his interest in expansion and is currently looking to hire more personnel and, eventually, create his own independent trading dynasty

EJ Construction is a base building company which offers to build bases for a flat fee, handling any applications and permits required, anywhere in Sirius.
EJ Transportation is the logistics side of the operation. It handles the supply of bases built by EJ Construction and others with which it has contracts to supply. It also tenders for delivery contracts outside of the base-building sphere.


General

Although Jackson seems - on the surface - to be a legitimate businessman, his presence in house space has been raising flags with local law enforcement right across the Sector. It's well known that Jackson himself is not averse to running contraband anywhere in Sirius for the right price and is no stranger whatsoever to doing the odd "dodgy deal" that falls into the grey area encompassing smuggling and extortion. Rumours abound that there's an even darker side to his operations that he keeps well covered up - namely, that he is involved in, or runs some sort of independent pirate syndicate. These rumours, however, as yet, remain unsubstantiated, but investigations are ongoing.

[EDIT]

It's now 816 AS and Ethan has found a new path. Turning his back on both the business world and, indeed, most of Sirius, he has opted to pursue the life of a Junker. The freedom and camaraderie appeal to him and he can finally be his own man, unfettered by petty rules and regulations.

Following some sound business decisions and an extremely profitable partnership with Mr Conrad Turner,
Ethan is now once again back in business.

His new base of operations - EJ Enterprises in the Galileo sector now offers base building, haulage, hyperspace survey and jump-trade facilities and will soon be offering hyperspace scanner and jump drive construction.
