History
All that is confirmed known about Zarantha Calderon is that in 3017 her son Thomas Calderon succeeded her as Protector of the Taurian Concordat. [1] She is briefly mentioned as supporting the Far Looker movement with hefty tax breaks as far back as 2990. [2]
Thomas’ predecessor, Zarantha Calderon, had expanded Taurian
holdings through stepped-up colonization efforts, financed by a
public-private partnership between the national government and
the Far Lookers. This increasingly influential sect used tax
breaks and subsidies to colonize several planets to the
rimward of the Inner Sphere between 2990 and 3020. Some of these
colonies failed to grow, but enough succeeded to give the Taurian economy
a boost of new resources. The real benefits came from the industries involved in Far Looker projects, which
included the construction of high-tech space habitats in the Hyades Cluster,
shipbuilders, zero-g construction firms, terraforming concerns and the companies involved in supplying the new colonists with everything
they needed to make healthy profits throughout the early 3000's and 3010's. Intent on protecting their
investments, subgroups of the Far Lookers entered government
at all levels throughout this time period. Political winds could
change along with the occupant of the throne, but space colonization
took generations to fully accomplish. In order to secure their long term goals, the
Far Lookers sought to fund their projects beyond Zarantha Calderon's rule and into the foreseeable future. [3]
Notes
Some few inferrences can be deduced about Zarantha. Thomas was 36 years old when he succeeded his mother; she would have had to still be able to bear children for his birth to occur, giving us a rough estimate of her birth, somewhere around 2960 or a bit later. She could not be Ignatius Calderon's child as he was Protector in the late 2800's. Also from the text given above from the Handbook: Major Periphery States, there are dates that might be Zaranatha's term as Protector. Concurrant information from The Periphery (sourcebook) regaurding the Far Looker movement gives similar dates (2990 and 3017) as the years of inception for that movement, but does not directly name Zarantha. Because of the information about Brenda Calderon in Field Manual: Periphery indicates Brenda was distant kin to Thomas Calderon, not a sister, it is probable that Zarantha had at least uncles/aunts.
