Stanimir Zorin

Background
Formerly an administrative official in charge of supply distribution on Goba Project, a gas giant mine in the Tsatsos system. After surviving a station-wide food crisis of 3197, for which Stanimir blames A.C.R.E. and House Eridanus, he became disillusioned with the current political and economical structure of the Empire.

A short while after the news of the emperor's assassination reached Goba Project, Stanimir got wind of the Unified People's Collective. A month later he resigned from office and left for Yakiyah, seeing the current power vacuum and turmoil among the Houses as the perfect time to become an agent of change.

Beliefs
Despite joining the revolutionaries, Stanimir has faith in diplomacy and would seek a place at the table with the nobles sooner than their heads on a pike - partly because negotiation is one of his few skills of significance.

His perfect world is one where common people aren't put into life-long labor enslavement, are free to elect representative leadership, and have access to every academic pursuit that nobles do.

Standing within UPC
Stanimir aligns with MDV, although he's more concerned with the fate of Tsatsos than Alvero. In addition, he's been a long-time supporter of Commissar Jacoby, whom he regards as an excellent face and voice of the revolution, if not a fitting peacetime leader. Stanimir also keeps in touch with "Admiral", both because they share moderate political leanings and because Stanimir suspects "Admiral" might be a spy for Houses Minor.
