Fariel Terasiv

"Do you really think that politics or diplomacy mean anything here? Or that just because you fly around in a fancy Alliance warship you have some sort of authority over us "uncivilized" mercenaries and spacers? You Citadel types really don't have a damned clue as to how things work here in the Terminus Systems, now do you? Allow me to explain. Here, power is wielded, metaphorically speaking, by those with the biggest gun. And in this system, I'm the one with the biggest fucking gun around. So that means you have two options: either you do what I tell you to do, or I use that gun of mine to blast your sorry asses all the way to Andromeda. Got it, bitch?"

- Terasiv's response to Valerie Olinna's request to gain free and safe passage through the Aramanae System.

Captain Fariel Terasiv was a powerful Blue Suns mercenary and crime lord who controlled the Aramanae System, a backwater star system in the Terminus Systems, which contained a critical refueling station for vessels passing through the Olipsius Nebula Cluster. Terasiv ruled the system with an iron fist, and charged ludicrous amounts of credits for ships to enter the system safely in order to refuel.
