Rajampet Rajani

== Biography ==
In the early 1920s PD, he held the rank of Fleet Admiral and served as Chief of Naval Operations, the overall uniformed commander of both Battle Fleet and Frontier Fleet.However, due to the SLN's tendency towards 'empire-building' among its senior officers, he held very little actual authority over either Battle Fleet or Frontier Fleet.
While he was officially Minister of Defense Taketomo Kunimichi's deputy, Kunimichi's real command authority was sharply circumscribed and Admiral Rajampet was the de facto Defense Minister.The fact that in effect he had to run the Defence Ministry was a further factor exacerbating his lack of authority over either Battle Fleet or Frontier Fleet. In addition, he was a quasi-member of the so-called Quintet of senior bureaucrats who controlled League policy, at least regarding military matters. His lack of full-fledged membership among that group was a source of constant irritation to him, exacerbated by the fact that the Mandarins frequently showed little respect (and even contempt) for the SLN.
He was one of the very first wave of first-generation prolong recipients. At the time of his death, he had been a serving officer of the Solarian League Navy for the better part of a hundred and ten T-years, and Chief of Naval Operations for some thirty-seven T-years. (HH13) He held his last space-going command before 1871 PD. ()
He was a corrupt man, taking bribes from the Mesan Alignment to help them orchestrate the conflict between the League and the Star Empire of Manticore. In addition, his personality was characterized by belligerence and a fierce resentment of Manticore (for its wealth and disinclination to kowtow to the League's whims). However, shortly after he had received his pay of 3.6 billion credits, a phone call at his home triggered Mesan mind control nanites to force him into killing himself with his own pulser.Until the last moments of his life, he did not believe the Grand Alliance's claims regarding Mesan Alignment mind-controlling nano-tech.
