Minister Soliak - Rigelian Ascendancy Representative
Minister Soliak (Rigelian Ascendancy Representative)
“If you won’t give us a seat at the table, we’ll take one.”
Character Overview: The Silver-Spoon Politician with an Inferiority Complex
- Homeworld: Rigel VII, born into one of the wealthiest and most influential families in the Rigelian Ascendancy.
- Upbringing: Private tutors, exclusive academies, and elite networking shaped his worldview—he was raised to believe that Rigel should be among the Federation’s power players.
- Why Politics? Because business alone wasn’t enough. He saw that economic power didn’t translate to political influence in the Federation. The only way Rigel would ever get the respect it deserved was through direct intervention in Federation affairs.
- How He Sees the Federation: A gatekept power structure where the founding worlds always hold sway, while civilizations like Rigel are left waiting for scraps.
Soliak is NOT a revolutionary. He doesn’t want to leave the Federation. He wants to reshape it so that Rigel isn’t just another name in the membership roll—it’s a force to be reckoned with.
How He Pushes Heimdahl
Unlimited Resources
- His family wealth allows him to fund scientific expeditions, mercenary forces, and entire research facilities without needing official approval.
- If Starfleet denies him access to a discovery, he hires independent contractors to "acquire" it first.
- "Call up my father. I need someone who can do X—no questions asked."
Political & Economic Pressure
- Soliak funds Federation Council members’ campaigns to secure votes in his favor.
- He controls key trade routes and logistics chains—if Heimdahl needs a rare material, they’ll have to deal with him.
- If Heimdahl doesn’t play ball, he starts lobbying Starfleet to assign a Rigelian liaison to the ship.
Covert Deal-Making
- He won’t hesitate to work with outside factions (Romulans, Cardassians, Klingon dissidents) if it forces Starfleet to recognize Rigel’s importance.
- He doesn’t see this as betrayal—he sees it as "balancing the scales."
- If he steals information or technology, it’s not to sell it—it’s to prove Rigel should have had access in the first place.
