Vasa Illiman

Vasa Illiman is a Magdoran who would become an employee of Hawk Industrial Solutions shortly after becoming an adult, and would rapidly rise through the ranks, eventually becoming the company's CEO.

Origins
Vasa was originally born on the Gateway Citadel platform located in the Liiya home system of Ophiya, as one of the children of the first Merracudan colonists to immigrate to the system. She was naturally inquisitive, and adopted many of the Liiya's ways of life, including the exploration of the cultures available to her.

As a child, she intended on joining her Liiya companions on their journeys of self-exploration, when she turned 18- and while she would start one as planned, she would find herself an employee of HIS within the first year, working as a liaison for the Stellar Interconnectivity Council, where her insights would allow her to rapidly rise through the ranks.

A Prodigy
Vasa would quickly become known for her expert insights regarding waystation placements, design, and services, largely helped along by her honorary Liiya native status. Vasa would reach the position of overseeing numerous development and deployment operations on the Conglomerate frontier, by the time she drew the attention of the company's CEO of the time.

After the CEO noticed her skills and insight, she would be taken under their wing as their protege, a position she would happily accept and remain in until the time for the CEO to retire had come. By then, she had swayed enough of the board members for there to be a 2:1 vote in favour of bringing her in as the new head of the company.

Though her predecessor and mentor would often brag about how she would radically change the company for the better, most of Vasa's initial policy changes were minor, though still percieved well. One of her more significant policy changes included funding additional fleets for incursions into Grey Zones, under the guise of making their rich resources- industrial, cultural, and otherwise- more available to the wider Conglomerate.

Vasa was quite content with her new position of power and freedom, she would not be content with being kept in the head office for extended periods of time. With board approval, she would eventually begin roaming Conglomerate territory in her personal yacht cruiser, officially so she could personally tour and inspect HIS and HIS-sponsored facilities across the systems, though those who knew her personally would know that this was more for her own wanderlust rather than official business.
