Adult Life

Vanessa Salgado

Following his assignment to the 1st Fleet, Patrick found himself getting to know Kuat well while on leave and it wasn't long before he made friends there. One young girl he became quite good friends with was Vanessa Salgado. They would meet up from time to time and Patrick would help her out with her financial questions and studies in college. Vanessa was a science student and hoping to herself join the Imperial Navy one day as a researcher. Her family were firm Imperial supporters and quite pleased with the relationship they witnessed blossom between the young couple. Against regulations Patrick maintained contact with Vanessa during his away missions. When news of his transfer to the 3rd fleet arrived Patrick knew they would be seperated for long periods of time and so proposed to her. Vanessa accepted and her family were pleased with her choice of the young Sergeant.

They mantained a strong relationship, albeit a very long distance one, for a couple of years. Then following Patrick's commission to the rank of Ensign the wedding was organised. Patrick returned to Kuat, taking leave from active duty for the first and only time in his career, to marry Vanessa. By this time Vanessa had completed her studies and was preparing her application for the Imperial Academy. Once married Patrick realised an Imperial career could be negative on the relationship and persuade Vanessa to not apply. Instead Patrick offered Vanessa her own research department, as part of the newly formed Auvasa Corporation. She was now a martin, and as such was entitled to a share of the wealth. Vanessa Salgado accepted this offer with great joy, she know had what she wanted; a loving husband and the ability to work on her own ship designs.

The couple have spoken about children but as of yet work has made it impossible to commit to parenthood.

His Majesty

Patrick's power and influence outside the Empire has also grown with the help of the Martin family. For a brief period the Martin family, under Patrick's leadership, became the rulers of the planet Douglas VI in the Centrality sector, having paid the small settlement that was there to leave. During the preparations for supplies, men and equipment to arrive at Douglas VI the Douglas system quickly began changing hands to a new government, the NAO. Patrick knew the family had neither the wealth nor the security forces to keep it out of NAO hands. His reign as King of Douglas VI lasted only two months when he eventually handed power over to the CIS. Another suitable planet has yet to be found that satisfies Patrick's quest for power.

Auvasa Corp.

Following the death of his parents Patrick managed the family wealth well, investing in numerous ventures. It was only natural that a formal business would eventually be the way the Martin Family would go. Along with his brother Marc Martin, a Imperial Navy dropout and former director at Primus Medical, Auvasa Corp. was established as a small enterprise at the start of Year 9. The business took time to grow, however following the setting up of the R&D department now run by Patrick's wife, Vanessa Salgado, and the increase in staff things moved along alot faster. By Mid Year 9 the business expanded enough to be formally recognised galactically as a major company. Financially Auvasa Corp. is sound, a series of unfortunate and one off high costs have made is a hefty loss so far but recently things have begun to change and the outlook is very positive.

Imperial Career

Financial Supporter

Using his family's wealth Patrick has been in a good position to help the Empire expand. When the Imperial Outer Rim Authority was expanding into the Elrood sector, Patrick raised a large credit fund to help pay for the construction of cities across the planet Dega. This investment was paid back to Patrick along with a sizable profit. On day 124 of year 9 to honour his support for the expansion and stabilizing of this sector a statue of Patrick Martin was unveiled in the city of Dega along with others to those that also helped. Unfortunately the IORA has since gone rogue casting a dark shadow over the good work done by Patrick and others like him for the people of Dega.

Patrick continues to use his personal wealth to help expand the Empire and currently has one of the largest shareholdings in the NAMIS operation.

Imperial Gaming Commission

On Year 9 Day 113, the Imperial Ministry of Operations announced the creation of the Imperial Gaming Commission. Major Bacara Kex was made the Director of the Commission. Patrick joined the Imperial Gaming Commission upon founding and soon began work on various different Bolo-Ball projects. The first was a small Imperial member only league. This had relatively good success. Numerous leagues of a similar nature have been held since.
