Biography

Arthur Smith, a native of Anaxes, was born in a city on the northern side of the planet, near what is now the renowned Cherokee Starport, prior to the establishment of the Galactic Empire. His family background was distinguished by his mother, Ceri, an exiled Hapan noblewoman, and his father, Owain, a retired officer of the Anaxian Merchant Navy, a political figure, and the owner of a respected courier company operating across the planet’s surface.

Arthur Smith, the middle child in his family, often found himself overshadowed by his older brother, Lancel, a prodigious talent and the designated heir to the family's fortune. Arthur, known for his inquisitive yet reserved nature, lacked the outgoing charisma exhibited by his siblings. Much of his formative years were spent in the company of his grandfather, learning the intricacies of the family business. At the age of sixteen, he fulfilled a mandatory tenure as a deckhand in the Anaxian Merchant Navy, an experience that instilled in him an appreciation for simple technology and the camaraderie of close-knit teams. Upon completing his service, Arthur pursued higher education at the Guild College on Anaxes, studying Commerce and Business Administration. After graduating, he undertook the customary post-education journey, travelling throughout the Core Worlds with his girlfriend, Iella. During this time, he learned that his younger sister, Elin, had enlisted in the Imperial Army and was undergoing training at the Imperial Academy on Prakith.

Returning to Anaxes, Arthur settled into a stable routine, balancing part-time responsibilities in the family business as a bookkeeper with a burgeoning career as a professional bolo-ball player. Early in this period, he married Iella and started a family. In late Y19, Lancel’s success in securing a contract to manufacture scopes for IM22T4 blasters prompted Arthur to shift his focus, helping to manage the increased demand during the War for the Republic. However, this period of relative stability was interrupted by tragedy during the final days of the conflict. Arthur’s sister Elin, serving as part of Governor Moon’s security detail, was killed in an attack by Zann forces. At the same time, Arthur, having re-enlisted in the Anaxian Merchant Navy, sustained injuries during a rebel incursion.

Arthur’s upbringing was also shaped by his father, Owain, a retired officer of the Anaxian Merchant Navy and a prominent local political figure who was deeply loyal to Vodo Bonias, a divisive figure within the Empire. Owain’s affiliation with Bonias influenced the family’s political standing and drew considerable scrutiny. Many speculated that Arthur's subsequent appointment to an administrative role in the Amber system was a calculated effort by Imperial authorities to sideline him due to his family history. During his childhood, Arthur was a member of the Sub-Adult Groups of COMPNOR, reflecting his father’s active involvement in the organisation. These early experiences, combined with personal tragedies and familial expectations, profoundly influenced Arthur’s development and shaped the trajectory of his later life.

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 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.

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.
