The Ord Cantrell Inner Circle -
The Cantrell Three are the main individuals charged with the operation, security and success of both Ord Cantrell and the Cantrell Conglomerate. While responsibilities change as required, the Governor is charged with the growth and planning of the planet’s economy, social policy and community outreach. Their objective is to ensure the continued prosperity of the planetary economy of Ord Cantrell, along with ensuring a happy citizenry. The Guildmaster or Guildmistress is charged with overseeing the operations of the Conglomerate, running day-to-day operations and ensuring the leaders of its various corporate entities are maintaining productivity to ensure continued outputs and sales to feed the Ord Cantrell economy.
The Ord Cantrell President is an intermediary and assists both the Governor and Guildmistress in their operations while ensuring all corporate employees are reaching their full potential and are happy to be part of the conglomerate and Ord Cantrell society. The three regularly rely on Corporate Leadership to ensure everything is working optimally while acting as the public faces of the Fath Sector to the galaxy.
The Governor
Artemis de Chatillon is the current Governor and overseer of the planet, Ord Cantrell. He maintains numerous investments and societal initiatives across the planet, including the sprawling palace district known as the Chatillon Estates. The leader of his Kiffar Clan, Artemis ensures the ideals of the Chatillon name, Ord Cantrell and the Conglomerate all integrate and work in harmony.
Artemis was born on Kiffex, a world scarred from intense conflicts. His father, Cronus de Chatillon, had achieved great status through his service as an intelligence analyst for the Galactic Empire. This afforded the Chatillon’s a comfortable and luxurious lifestyle compared to many others who suffered the effects of war. Cronus had three children with his wife Rhea. The children were Artemis, Silenus, and Iris. Of the three Artemis was the eldest and so was often entrusted with the responsibility of being the ‘man of the house’ during the times that Cornus was absent from the family home. This early authority shaped Artemis in later life as he developed a desire to dominate every domain he crossed.
Of the other two Chatillon children, only Iris profoundly affected Artemis’ life. Iris was plagued by illness throughout her life, and the strain which resulted from her constant state of distress dominated almost all interactions with her, which lead to tense, frequent rifts in the Chatillon family. Due to Artemis’ excellence and Iris’ illness, their brother Silenus fell through the cracks. He was neither remarkable nor suffering, and as a result of this neglect within the family, he left home early. Eventually, Silenus would find himself incarcerated for many years for reasons which were as inconsequential as his childhood.
The Guildmistress
There isn’t much information on Avelyn ca Vella‘s past except that she was born on Zeltros itself. Her parents were no one notable — a simple bar wench and a casino manager. She popped up on employment records at the age of sixteen, waitressing at one of the many restaurants on what offworlders describe as the party planet. Sometime later, the young Zeltron left her homeworld and worked amongst the stars on passenger liners before settling in as a bartender and waitress at the Queen’s Quarry casino on Ord Cantrell. Security records indicate an altercation at the casino, leaving the manager and several of his personal security dead, with the system governor Artemis de Chatillon, finding proof of embezzlement and extortion, along with mistreatment of employees.
Shortly after the incident, Avelyn joined Fairwind Exotics as an Intern and served as a consultant for Fairwind Exotics Auctions. In order to more easily fit in with society, de Chatillon gave Avelyn the surname ca Vella. In a very short time, she impressed her employer with her trading prowess and knack for finding deals to the extent that de Chatillon saw no other option but to promote her to Guildmistress. Once she took over, profits immediately started to rise exponentially.
In a short amount of time, Fairwind skyrocketed on the galactic scene to the point that Avelyn needed to start hiring more staff. The Zeltron looked to Tattysail Thyr, a pilot with Corellian Transport Services, to fly only for her. The eager pilot had found herself a bit bored with the New Republic and found this new opportunity interesting, quickly accepting. Avelyn saw opportunity with Thyr and promoted her to Assistant Director of the company as a test before moving her to an even more grandiose position — Chief Operations Officer of Cantrell Institute. Rumors that Avelyn had purchased both companies gained steam mid-way through Year 20 – but over time, these were proven false. Instead, the Zeltron started a new umbrella corporation with Cantrell Consulting and transferred much of what she had been doing in Fairwind to the new company.
The President
Harmonia de Chatillon, born Year 0, was the second daughter born to Ajax and Diane de Chatillon, both prominent members of the de Chatillon clan. From the time that she could walk and talk, she had it in her mind that she was the head of the household, and that everything in it was hers. In fact, her parents to this day swear that the first words to come out of her mouth were “No, mine!”. As she got a little older, she would try to order the households servants to get her sweets and items that were either out of her reach, or that she knew she wasn’t supposed to have, when she was not following her sister Danae around, annoying her as little sisters often do.
Harmonia’s early education focused on both survival and hunting skills, as well as the tools needed to run an estate. Her father, though allowing his youngest daughter to get away with much while on the estate, much to the dismay of her mother, was a strict taskmaster when out in the field. He expected perfection from her, and was not one to suffer too many mistakes when the skills he was passing on could be the difference between life and death. Though she felt like she was excelling in all tasks that her father set before her, it was never quite good enough for him, and he would constantly compare her to her sister. Every time that she felt that she had surpassed his expectations, she would be reminded that Danae had completed it faster, had been more quiet or had hunted a larger beast. From an early age, she had come to see her older sister as a rival for her father praise, and this would only spur her on later in life.
Her mother was in charge of her tutelage of all other matters, and where she herself lacked, hired only the finest tutors for Harmonia. She also instilled an appreciation for the arts in her youngest daughter, and encouraged her burgeoning talent with the piano, going so far as to obtain an antique Grand Piano for her to practice on. When she wasn’t hunting or taking her studies, Harmonia threw herself into perfecting her ability. This was something that she alone was good at, something that couldn’t be taken away from her, and she devoted herself to being better than anyone else, winning countless awards and accolades for her talent, some critics even calling her a prodigy.
Corporate Leadership -
Each corporate entity and their second in command maintains a connection to the leadership circle within the Cantrell Conglomerate. Whether they’re primarily asked to input knowledge and expertise relating to their corporate operations, in other situations, they’ll be called to liaise with external parties to negotiate contracts, fulfil additional responsibilities, or voice their opinion on matters defining the future of the Conglomerate.
Each corporate leader is selected in consultation between the Governor, Guildmistress and President, with the final decision resting on the Governor’s shoulders. There is no set leadership term, with each leader managing the company’s interests indefinitely until they wish to step down or if the Conglomerate has more pressing needs for them elsewhere.
Danae de Chatillon was born on the planet Kiffex during the years of civil unrest and is the oldest child of Diana and Ajax de Chatillon. The woman left her homeworld at age 18 and has been travelling and working throughout the galaxy, often consulting with her older cousin Artemis de Chatillon. Danae is an influential and active member of the Clan de Chatillon, aiding her cousin and Governor Artemis de Chatillon on numerous family matters.
Danae currently travels most of her time for business associated with Cantrell Consulting. The Kiffar believes in balancing work and family obligations and often returns home to Ord Cantrell where she now maintains a residence on the beautiful Chatillon Estate.
Inside the Conglomerate, Danae has held numerous leadership positions, including the role of President for almost a year, before deciding to step back from the intensity and hand responsibilities over to her sister.

In this role, she demonstrated her leadership and tactical abilities, working tirelessly to ensure the safety of the planet’s citizens and the stability of the sector. Despite the pressures of her job, Calypso remained a beloved figure among her friends and associates, known for her quick wit, kind heart, and unwavering dedication to the greater good.

Tattysail Thyr, known by the moniker Dr. Bitchcraft, was born and raised within the Hapes Cluster. She lived with her parents in the Rifle Worlds at a colony on Lovala. The colony was home to manufacturing plants that produced parts for heavy weapons and employed many of the Hapan living there, including Tattysail and her family. As a hobby, her mother brewed beer and passed her skills to her daughter. Tattysail excelled at piloting and got a job making deliveries between planets in the Rifle Worlds. In year 17, her mother had an accident at the factory and died from her injuries. Her father died due to complications from alcoholism a year later. After their deaths, she sold their house and belongings and used those funds to leave Lovala.
After leaving the Hapes Cluster, she journeyed to Rodia, hoping to join the New Republic. Her experience as a pilot led her to Corellian Transport Services, where she served in the vessel department maintaining designs and servicing. When she heard about an opportunity with the rapidly expanding Fairwind Exotics, Tattysail left Corellian Transport Services to work as a pilot under Avelyn ca Vella. Quickly she showed talent and was promoted to Assistant Director of the company, then to President of Cantrell Institute. When the Institute folded, Thyr took over Fairwind Exotics after earning her doctorate.
Outside of corporate leadership, Tattysail owned a small operation within the Fath Sector known as Tattysail’s Ales. It first opened in Year 19 on Day 186 and is the maker of craft beers and other alcoholic beverages. The Tattysail’s Ales Spacelance Diner was opened in Year 20 and debuted at the Seventh Uli-ah Gafsa Memorial Swap Meet. The Whale Tail Pale Ale is the company’s flagship beer, and its recipe was inspired by the oceans on Rodia. Tattysail brews many different styles of beers using a variety of hops and ingredients. The brewery has eight beers and one whiskey offered year-round. All beers are available on draft, by the bottle, or by the keg.

Angwyn Eyre is an Anzati male, born on the planet Anzat IV in the Year -104 during the golden age of the New Anzat Order to the Eyre family, one of the prominent Anzati clans. Today he is most notably associated with the Cantrell Conglomerate and its subsidiary Orbital Research & Design, switching between the two sides of honest noble businessman and a shady smuggler and mercenary as the situation and politics require.
Angwyn is relatively tall for an Anzati with his height of 1.8 meters and retains a strong well built body typical for the Anzati species. His natural hair colour is dark brown, but in his younger years, he has been seen changing the colour and haircut often. He is most often described as an impulsive, reckless and rebellious individual with a quick wit, but he also proved himself to be skilful as a strategist and manager of the arms industry on the Outer Rim world of Ord Cantrell. He can also be very persuasive with some people, especially those of different races.
Like all the Anzati, Angwyn has developed telepathic skills that he often uses to achieve his goals by influencing of weaker minds of other sentients. He is also very strong-minded and very resolute about his principles and beliefs. His stubbornness and strong will strengthen his ability to control the desire to feed on living beings, while many other Anzati fail to resist the seduction of soup that well.
