Sentinels of Peace: Faces of the Frontier

Every culture, no matter their tendencies toward peace or war, have individuals who trade words for the betterment of their representative peoples. Whether they are simply attempting to put their own interests at the forefront of negotiations, or if they are subtle and evasive about what they wish to accomplish, there isn’t a power in the Milky Way that does not have someone who speaks for them in diplomatic situations. These people come in all the many varieties that one could imagine, no less so than any other occupation. Sadly, these often unsung heroes go unnoticed by the majority of the people they serve, their work neither glamorous nor filled with action from day to day. But they are heroes nonetheless, and we want to put a ‘face’ to those who shape the frontier behind the scenes.

In this competition, you will be creating a biography for a diplomat!
