Biography

Early Life

Arthur Smith (born Year -2, Day 18) was born on Anaxes in a small city on the north-side of the planet's only ocean, just east of the famous Cherokee Starport. His mother Ceri, an exiled Hapan noblewoman and his father, Owain, a retired officer from the Anaxian Merchant Navy, owned a respectably sized courier company that operated across the planet's surface.

The middle child, Arthur spent most of his childhood playing second fiddle to his older brother Lancel, a child prodigy by all accounts, who was heir to their parents company and fortune. An inquisitive, quiet and reclusive child, Arthur lacked the extroverted charisma of both his siblings and spent most of his time with his grandfather learning the ins and outs of the family business. Arthur completed his mandatory tenure as a deckhand of a vessel in the Anaxian Merchant Navy once he turned sixteen. Viewed by many as an anachronism, his time working on the old vessels gave Arthur a great appreciation for simple technology and the camaraderie that is developed between individuals who work in small, tight-knit teams.

Once his time in the AMN ended he attended the local Guild College on Anaxes studying Commerce and Business Administration, once he graduated Arthur set off travelling the core with his girlfriend Iella, as per the custom for graduates of the Guild. While he was away he found out that his younger sister, who had just turned eighteen, had signed up for the Imperial Army and shipped out to the Imperial Academy on nearby Prakith.

A mundane, simple, yet fulfilling period of his life followed, with Arthur proceeding to work in the family business as a part-time bookkeeper while pursuing a career as a professional bolo-ball player. Arthur settled down early and started a family with his now wife, Iella. Lancel Smith was awarded a contract to manufacture scopes for IM22T4 blasters in late Y19 and Arthur transferred across to assist with running the business when demand skyrocketed during The War for the Republic.

It was during the dying days of the war when his sister Elin, who was serving as part of the security detail for Governor Moon, was butchered by Zann forces.

At the time, Arthur had returned to service with the Anaxian Merchant Navy and was injured during a rebel incursion.

Sporting Career

Arthur training at the BC Union Anaxes Academy

Arthur was a renowned athlete and student at Guild College, where he made a name for himself as a skilled boloball player. He grew up in a family of sports enthusiasts and began playing boloball at a young age. Arthur continued to hone his skills throughout his youth and by the time he entered Guild College, he was already a seasoned player, staring in the annual Navy vs Army game during his time in the Anaxian Merchant Navy the year before.

At Guild College, Arthur quickly became a standout member of the boloball team, impressing both his coaches and teammates with his speed, agility, and precision. He led the team to multiple victories, and his exceptional talent on the field earned him the nickname "The Boloball Wizard."

In addition to his athletic pursuits, Arthur was also a dedicated student, earning top grades in his courses and earning the respect of his professors. His leadership skills, both on and off the field, made him a beloved member of the Guild College community.

After graduation, Arthur went on to briefly pursue a professional career in boloball, playing for the BC Union Anaxes Academy side, although he was unable to break into the League side before the Second Galactic Civil War rapidly escalated in Year 21.

Returning to civilian life following the end of the war, Arthur decided to shift his focus into coaching, as opposed to playing, in order to spend more time working in his brothers business.

BC Union Anaxes

BC Union Anaxes is a professional Boloball club based in Jerotta, Anaxes. The club competes in the second tier of the Imperial Boloball League. Founded in Year -128, the club joined the Axum League the following year and has played its home games at Fyrn Park since its formation.

Domestically, the club has won 37 League titles, making it one of the most successful clubs on the planet. In intersystem competitions, the club has won 6 Axum cups and 3 Azure Super League Cups and 1 Coruscant Oversector Cup. The club established itself as a major force in domestic and system boloball in the -90’s.

As of Year 24, BC Union Anaxes has 286,450 official members. The club has become well known for its enthusiastic and creative fan base as well as its ‘black-collared boloball style’, tracing back to the club's roots as a factory based club.

BC Union Anaxes is one of the most valuable and widely supported clubs in the Axum system. The club has long standing rivalries with the Axum Anzcats and Urfon United. Under management by Owain Smith, the club changed from an all black home strip to a black with white and red trim strip which has been used ever since.

Arthur Smith inherited stewardship of the club in Year 21, experiencing an influx of investment that has seen the club push for a return to the top tier of the Imperial Boloball League.

Personal Fleet

The AMV Gracitania.

AMV Gracitania

The AMV Gracitania is Arthur's personal flagship, entrusted to him by the United Anaxes Union. A Pelta-class Frigate thats construction began as a joint venture by the Anaxes Government and Smith & Co Haulage, the vessel was originally intended to be utilised by Anaxes militia for use in emergency situations. Due to a change in local government following rising tensions with the fledgling New Imperial Order the project was placed on an indefinite pause with the new government shifting away from Escort Frigates and towards smaller, auxiliary orientated corvettes with the intention to supplement loyalist Imperial Navy forces.

Following the ascension of King Alexander I to the Hapan throne, the contract for the Pelta was bought out by a business conglomerate who had received generous funding from the Hapan government as part of their diplomatic works to smooth over relations with the Imperials following the breakdown in the Imperial Union. Works soon recommenced to finish the ship, although at a much slower pace than planned.

Ownership of the ship was to be placed under a trust governed by Smith patriarch Owain Smith. Resources gained from the conquests against the rebels during the end of the war saw the construction efforts rapidly increase as all military capable vessels were scrambled to defend the Empire's new borders. It was at this point that young Arthur was appointed captain and de-facto owner of the ship, manned by retired veterans and young recruits the ship did not manage to see any conflict and spent the last few weeks of the war practicing patrol maneuvers.

Since the end of the war the ship has been utilised as a training vessel.
