 ==== Lady Tara Bridanda Shay ====
 Lady Tara [[library:families#tara_briganda-shay|Briganda-Shay]], is recognised as a member of the Royal Houses of Shay and Briganda and is a distant relative of the King of Stilan.  Still in her mid-twenties, and good-looking, she is a competent leader, and has a knack of talking people round when she needs to get things done.   However, she is flexible and can reach a compromise when she needs to.  Moreover, she is supportive on Venture Companies, that are actively doing things to extend her domain, or add to her security, but once a Venture Company slows down, and starts to live off of its achievements, she treats them like any other business.
+She can normally be found at her residence in Finaroka Town, but her influence is felt across the region.
 Scuttlebut:  She had a 'dalliance' with Lord Ramsin of Jekleal, while she was a student at the College of Performing Arts in Jekleal.

 From a minor family with a long history of service in the Imperial Navy, she is in command of the Naval presence in the region.  She is the first of her line to take command of a squadron, although the naval presence has been reduced significantly.  Along with the Governor, she has taken to issuing ‘Letters of Marque’ to privateers, to help bolster her small force.  She suspects this will be her lot for life -  but it is a promotion and there will be a reasonable pension at the end of it.  She often appears frustrated by her lot, but tries to be helpful and does her job to the best of her ability.
-Residence: Finaroka Naval Base. (Note:  her ‘proper’ Naval rank is Commander, Commodore is an appointment as head of a naval squadron.  She is, perhaps, the most junior squadron commander in the Imperial Navy)

 Scuttlebutt: ‘Patch’ Yarboro was becoming a bit of an embarrassment.  As commander first of a sloop-of-war, then a frigate she carried out daring raids and became a bit of a cult hero.  Unfortunately, the raids were often done without orders or, in some cases, against the standing orders for her squadron.  She had become a popular naval officer (with the politicians), with a habit of embarrassing her commanders.  This post gets her out of the way.
+==== Lieutenant Crosby ====
+Commands the //IS Jaguar//, an Imperial Light Galley, and is a career officer in the Imperial Navy. He has five years service as a deck officer, mainly on large galleys, and this is his first permanent command. Regarded as both professional and fairly academic, he hopes this post is as a stepping stone in his career, rather than its culmination.  He hasn't seen much action, but hopes to be able to win a decisive victory or two - which he hopes will impress Commander Yarboro, and help him achieve promotion.
+Based at the Naval Base in Finaroka Town, his ship patrols the waters around Finaroka Island, and can can can (occasionally) be found further afield.
+==== Lieutenant Simpson ====
+Commands the //The Broken Sabre//, a Military Privateer.  Neither he nor his first officer have a ‘military’ feeling about them. This is Lieutenant Simpson’s first command, his previous experience was as a watch officer on a privateer vessel, working out of the Razardi Isles.  His First Officer, a charismatic female 1/2 elf, is reputed to be his lover.
+Based at the Naval Base in Finaroka Town, his ship patrols the deeper waters and can often be found sailing between the different  settlements that make up the colony of Finaroka  (Finaroka Town, Croston and Ozgryn)

 Scuttlebut:  Some important people in the Tannery States would like to talk to him, about some land he sold them - that he didn't own.
