==Biography==
Hasek was particularly distinguished for this bravery in the field of battle.  After New Avalon was granted independence, Hasek was named leader of a provincial government tasked with creating a viable and lasting system of governance.  Hasek called for a constitutional convention; this convention drafted the [[Covenant of New Avalon]] in [[2239]], a high-minded treatise condemning the tyrannical [[Terran Alliance]] regime and espousing democratic ideals.  The Covenant later became the preamble for the constitution for the colony.

Hasek was elected by an overwhelming majority as the first Prime Minister of the new constitutional government, and served a single one-year term.  However, with no constitutional right to reelection and an extremely short term served in office, Hasek's time as Prime Minister resulted in few long-lasting policies.  This is not an indictment on Hasek; the subsequent Prime Ministers were equally unwilling to enact an measures going beyond their stay in office.  After serving as Prime Minister, Hasek retired to his farm, retaining the honorary position of "Colonel-General" of the New Avalon planetary militia.

Jason Hasek served as [[Colonel-General]] of the militia until he died in combat in [[2249]]. As a result of increasing stratification between "first family" land holders and their workers, private fiefdoms began increasing in power across New Avalon, eventually forming private militias and arming themselves.  Just a decade after New Avalon had drafted its Covenant, small skirmishes and border wars began to break out between some of the rival "first families".  When Colonel-General Hasek's militia attempted to bring martial law to the Jorgensson family, Jorgensson soldiers overpowered and routed the militia, killing Hasek in the process.
