Horatio "SHRECK" McClaw
Horatio McClaw was born in 2912 on Terra. The McClaw family looks back on a long tradition as soldiers and traders. The McClaws are the ones behind the foundation of Black Phalanx Corporation and are as of now still the major stack-holder.
Horatio has got two younger sisters. Lea McClaw works as an reconnaissance specialist in the UEE Navy and Zoe McClaw works in the combat service support branch of Black Phalanx.
Horatio joined the UEE Navy at the age of 19 as an fighter pilot. In the time from 2935 until he quit his service time in 2940 Horatio belongs to the Squadron 42. During his time in the UEE Navy he completed a information management study. Furthermore he gained major skills in deep space exploitation and military reconnaissance.
After left the UEE Navy, Horatio took over the lead of Black Phalanx Corporation, which was due to the generally poor economic situation facing ruin.
With a portion of its former 42 Squadron comrades he re-structured the company and optimized the product portfolio. Large parts of the company have been sold in order to refinance the company.
With the new strategic direction of the company and the military and economic expertise of the new company's management, it is able to bring back the company out of the red. Now for the future, he tries to lead the Black Phalanx Corporation back to its former leading position in the field of convoy protection services.

Martin "Gefahrensucher" Deeks
Martin Deeks was born in 2911 on Saisei, Centauri System. His father, Robert Deeks, works as an engineer at Musashi Industrial & Starflight Concern (MISC). His mother, Heidi Deeks (former Brandt) works as an Xeno-Bioligy expert at the Saisei University.
Martin is the oldest of his siblings. He has got a sister, Hannah Deeks and one brother, Nicolas Deeks.
Early on, Martin became interested in technology and electronics, and therefore he started to study engineering right after leaving school. This, however, he broke off after a short time, as he had a heated argument with his father. In search of independence and in order to start his own life, in 2930 he joined the Navy at UEE.
Due to his good technical understanding it was easier for him to deal with the military machine and he quickly learned to fly in space. Later than it turned out Martin had a golden touch at the radar and sensors, which earned him after a short time and due to his German roots, the nickname "Gefahrensucher" which means "Danger seeker". Besides, Martin used his spare time to handcraft on his ships and furthermore he always was a welcome guest at the boys and girls of maintenance business.
Due to his outstanding performance Martin was moved in 2936 in order to serve for the Squadron 42. During this time he builds up a friendship with Horatio McClaw. After retiring in 2940 he accepted Horatios offer to become COO of the Black Phalanx Corporatio. Together, they want to get the company back on track.
