Seth Marsden was a politician, businessman, and founder of the Protectorate of Donegal.
History[edit]
Seth Marsden was a businessman who worked for Skye Traders, an interstellar transport company run by Ian McQuiston. He became a trusted aide to McQuiston, who during those years gathered influence and power to form the Federation of Skye. Ten years after its formation, Marsden resigned from Skye Traders due to a dispute with McQuiston.[2]
Marsden made his way to the world of Donegal in 2301, having heard of its pleasant environment. He founded his own company Donegal Freight and Goods and was able to replicate the success his former mentor had enjoyed. He used his money to purchase small local interstellar transport companies that operated local trade routes near the world. He gathered wealth and power to form a mercantile power in 2313, which he named the Protectorate of Donegal.[3]
The city of Marsden on Tharkad was named in his honor.[citation needed]
