Name: Nicholas L. Archer
Race: Human
Allegiance: Head of the Peace-Fighter's movement.
Age: 39
Physical appearance: Medium Height, well toned, a little muscular with graying black hair and slate eyes. His eyes have a certain countenance where the white under them can be seen, giving him a plotful presence.
Equipment: He wears a cape over armor which offers little real protection except when plugged into his fighter it becomes magnetically charged giving him massive impact defense after a crash. He carries a rithum blade given as a gift by the a Rykar lieutenant at Dresh for his aid activity there. He has a cybernetic spinal cord due to Military Service as a Pilot.
Ship: Archer uses a specially designed fighter with a magnetic current running through it. When piloted correctly it allows him to pilot very closely to the surfaces of enemy ships, out of range of their defense guns, drawing enemy fire against the vessel, with magnetic pressure stopping him from dipping into the cruiser. Currently he's trying to get this technology installed as a promised ship to any pilots who want to join his cause, but unfortunatelly the ship is prone to crash if there is a malfunction in setting up the magnetic currents, and his magnetic impact armor only works because it's plugged into his cybernetic spinal cord.
Brief History: After serving as a Pilot in the <Space-Military>, Nicholas L. Archer started his activist career, openly opposed to Prime Minister Frey since he came in office. Archer has accused Frey of accepting bribes from Mining Corporations to provoke the Rykar into war in order to gain good leverage for the mining of Rithum. Archer has publicly claimed that the freedom of the enslaved races is only a vehicle through which Frey has tricked the People of the Milky Way into following his war for money. After losing his seat in Parliament by nearly 65% of the vote, Archer condemned the Parliament and split off his own organization, recruiting mostly war veterans and Radical Peace-Activists.
Examples of his Viewpoints:
"The Rykar Empire has set it's entire economy upon slavery. Their military system, social system, food system and mining system all exist through slavery. Were we to remove this system unnaturally, through war, we would destroy the entire society. Famine would spread throughout every single race, enslaved or not. It's a simple fact that we would bring about a horrible depression. These war-mongers preach equality, while to them it's not about bring the enslaved races up to par with the Rykars, it's about bringing the Rykars down to the same level of the enslaved races. Not through slavery, no, our vehicals through which we survive are much worse. We will simply oppress the people to the point of exhaustion, leaving them all as tiny minorities, and leaving the Mining Corporations a bunch of empty Rithum mines they can fill with their machines.
"The Neptunian Robot Company donates <insert reasonable amount of contribution money> each election to Prime Minster Frey. Are these friendly contributions by a supporting fan? Or are they investments made to replace a working force with their machines?
"I agree that slavery is competely unethical no matter what, but their entire society exists through slavery. We would be gutting their society. We must allow it to dissolve naturally by bringing pressure on the Empire to transform their ways. Do you think it's the average Rykar citizen that advocates their caste system? The average Rykar citizen is too poor to afford slaves, and despite being given more rights and socially pressured to act superior to the enslaved races, we can disentangle that, peacefully. We can allow slavery to dissolve without breaking their peoples' traditions or destroying their culture, and enter an era with two great, powerful and allied Societies, the Milky Way and the Rykar Empire."
