History of the Organization: Genalin Verdan was driven off his world by his brother in a typical Orion house faction fight after the death of the Patriarch that typically kept the boys controled by keeping them at odds with each other. Kraus Verdan won by making promises he really could not afford to keep. However Genalin Verdan wasn't killed as planned, he got away not just away, but with resource as well.
Seeking decent place to set up and take stock Genalin Verdan settled in the growing Standish Colony. They needed a firm business base to grow the colony.
