And probably the most humorous of Faction leaders is born today. Happy Birthday Morgan

How did you find these dates anyway? I have a photocopy of an old prima guide for SMAC that has the Birth dates etc but I've got nothing on the SMACX leaders.

I thought he was meant to be Namibian ?

It would make sense mineral deposit-wise...

GURPS handbook details he is Kenyan. Apparently he used his wealth to buy a mercenary force with which he toppled government of Namibia and took control of its diamond deposits (this should happen in 2020's). Makes sense, as this way he is still Namibian diamond tycoon, and it reminds me of Jagged Alliance game.

I find it humorous the fact that he was not supposed to be in the Unity... And then, after the wakeup, some crew members find a cryocell that was not supposed to be there... Smart guy.

You know... all these story touches me a lot.. :`) And, allow me to say, it is about great sheet, and great guys sweemeng in it!
If only to remember Garland and Lal, how their own crew ****s them up in the end of jorney! Lal is the man.. i remember one of the final scenes in jorney to centauri, when he alone, with Miriam (so, let me say, that she is the man also ) remains faithful to UN charter and Captain, when others just run from the ship for their buisness..
Morgan is the man.. the idea of guy, that remains alive and noble in cell with bandits(like Santiago) with cuffs on he's hands... Shrewd. Yes. And with humour as black as his own ass. Remember, when he jokes, standing with Deirdre on the board of unity ship, that turns apart, about "flamethrower trees"? He knows about thorns of "green" democracy even before landing.. Zaharov, for example, is child in comparison with him.

But first of all them - Garland.

I know the answer and I don't like it - that was a really terrible idea. I prefer the random unknown crewmember solution.

Allow me to try to answer.

I think... it is can be viewed transparently enough.., taking in account, that game is philosophical. All that has figurative meaning.

Unity, that was tearing apart from inside in the end of it's jorney is like Earth. Earth, in game history, was "teared apart" by wars.. teared apart from inside - by irresponsability of countrys, selfish, immoral and violent humans that lead them. all the same has repeated on the starship, all the same will be repeated on Planet.. Greedy and selphish Morgan, selphish, violent and blind animal Santiago, selphish dictator Yang, unethical and again achiving only his goals Zakharov...
In the end of the tale Garland loses his self-orientation completely and frees, gives life to the crew, that has betraid him...... You remember, that if he would not blast himself - pods were not departed. He known, (as it was known to Earth, that there is not all clear there when they prepared starship) that Yang is criminal, that he betrayed UN charter (you remember, that he sent signal on Earth), that Zakharov and Morgan and Santiago...
It is clear for me why assasin of Garland have no face.. You see? Becouse all best human principles in face of Garland was killed by the shadow(assasin was like a shadow) of all irresponsibility that was left, or not, on Earth. So it was all, who killed Garland. Garland and Unity, as last hope, was teared apart, as it was with earth, by crew officers - selphish(dont know better word) leaders... that will depart to new world..

"The goals of the group, and the greater rase are..."
Was embraced only by Garland.( And betraid by Yang).
