ZEUS LINK

Sent to the Pegasus Galaxy by the European Union and its partners, the Zeus Link Fleet is large, dedicated and sophisticated. It has a large comprehensive science department in addition to an experienced multinational military. Despite coming from diverse backgrounds, the ships, units and personnel have molded as one in the long war fought around humanity’s home world in the Milky Way. Constituting roughly one third of the Pegasus Expedition, the Zeus Link Fleet is technologically the most capable of the fleets.

It’s not yet known what awaits it in this new galaxy, but the Fleet is well prepared, be it for great new discoveries... Or violence.

CHARACTERS

**Élodie Perron**
Grand Admiral

*"He will not succeed, we will make sure of that. I will make sure of that."*
Grand Admiral Élodie Perron is the military commander of the Zeus Link Fleet. After more than 25 years of service, originally in the French Navy, she is now the senior military commander of the European Interstellar Navy.
Élodie is an efficient and calculated leader, who doesn’t let small issues get in the way of the big picture. Difficult or dramatic circumstances rarely manage to affect her decision-making, an ability she is known for.

**Karolina**
**Jurić**
Minister of Interior

*"You kill their civilians, they kill yours. You can occupy a planet or you can annihilate a planet, and all I’m saying is that we are not setting a good precedent.”*
After serving many years in the Bosnian army, major general Jurić excelled as the commander of the EU Planetary Invasion Force EUPIF in the defense of the last of humanity’s colonies. She was later named as the minister of Interior of the Zeus Link Fleet.
She is quite outspoken, and prefers action over lengthy analysis. Her rather fierce and easily heated temper sometimes results in strong and colorful language, especially when arguing.

**Evan Loch**
Minister of Foreign Affairs

*"We have enemies. And the news is spreading, which means we will have even more enemies soon."*
Originally of Scottish origin, Mr. Evan Loch is perhaps the most experienced diplomat of the European Union. He is responsible for possible diplomacy and foreign affairs of the Fleet during the mission.
Evan is a straightforward feet-on-the ground negotiator, who shuns diplomatic flourish and etiquette, and sees no need to gloss over the cold facts. That is why he is often seen as a hard and even cold negotiator.

**Simon Lorenz**
Head Scientist

*"There are no miracles. It'd be better if they didn't expect one."*
Doctor Simon Lorenz leads a large and talented science department in the Zeus Link Fleet. After starting his career in the German pharmaceutical industry, he has advanced to be one of the leading figures in the field of adapting human science to new, alien circumstances.
Coming from his experience as the figurehead of his company, Lorenz tends to stay strictly behind his occupational role, which results in him staying rather emotionally distant to his colleagues. Eventually in some situations he’s unable to maintain his role, but that doesn’t happen easily.
