Elijah Rasmussen

Elijah Rasmussen was a spacer and founder of the short-lived Republic of Freitaika during Freitaika Rebellion. Together with Steinric Dier and their supporters within the Freitaika government and society, they were able to wrest power away from the Explorator monarchy. During the Republic's existence he served as it's civilian Chief Executive, sharing power with the growing military dictatorship of Dier; he was the sole legislator for the Republic, as elections to any office were never held. 
When their secessionist aspirations failed and the war against the Confederacy turned against the fledgling Republic, he attempted to flee with Dier to the Rim where they were captured near the end of SY 97 by Confederate agents. Rasmussen was tried, found guilty of sedition, treason, and conspiracy against the legitimate government of Freitaika, and sentenced to death by decompression. The sentence was carried out within the standard week.
