Marta Kinsolving was, as of 3133, CEO of Mirach-based All World Comm (AWC) and president of the Mirach Business Association.[1]
History[edit]
In the immediate aftermath of the Blackout, AWC suffered substantially. Mirach underwent an economic crisis and AWC was one of the planet's less fortunate companies. It laid off a quarter of its employees by April 3133, and faced large and unruly protests as a result - protests aggravated by disinformation from Minister of Information Elora Rimonova, who insinuated that AWC and Kinsolving were to blame for the HPG collapse.[1]
Through early 3133, AWC weathered the storm. In April, Kinsolving secured funding from Governor Sergio Ortega for an overhaul of Mirach's communications system. Replacing Mirach's pre-Blackout HPG-dependent planetary communications apparatus, Span-net would be based around a series of lunar relay stations to carry messages across Mirach, free from proton storm interference.[2] In the meantime, the Mirach Business Association, headed by Kinsolving, built up its own force of modified, militarized IndustrialMechs. When Elora and Legate Calvilena Tortorelli launched a military coup on 3 May, AWC and the Business Association provided communications assistance and armed IndustrialMechs to support Governor Ortega. Kinsolving later, on 7 May, received additional support: an Atlas from envoy and Republic agent Jerome Parsons, meant to secure her loyalty to the Republic and keep her from aligning with Jacob Bannson. With Kinsolving's help, Ortega fended off the coup, securing Elora's defeat on 12 May.[3]
In 3135, Bannson Universal Unlimited, seeking the technology underlying Span-net, acquired AWC. Republic of the Sphere representatives assisted in the acquisition, carried out against the Mirach Business Association's wishes.[4]
Personal Appearance[edit]
Marta had auburn hair and brown eyes.[1]
