Mayor Thane Vorek
Human, Late 60s — Former Starfleet, Founding Captain of Annulus Diaboli
Thane Vorek still wears boots like he’s expecting a red alert. Polished leather, high-throated, Starfleet-issue—cracked now, dust-grimed. Like the man himself.
When he walks the dirt roads of Annulus Diaboli, people give him room. Not because they fear him. But because he was here before the city had roads, before it had names, before its reputation started outweighing its coordinates. Some even still call him "Captain." He doesn't correct them.
Thirty years ago, Vorek came here aboard the USS Callister, an old science-survey hull running civilian contract ops along the outer border. When they stumbled on the wreckage field—and the quiet world below it—Vorek made a call: they offloaded what they could, beached the Callister, and began to build.
He built this place. With his crew, his command structure, and his charm.
Now? He’s the mayor of a town that forgot it had a founding document.
Vorek's eyes are sharp, even if his spine isn’t. He listens more than he talks. When he does speak, it’s low and worn—like gravel under a boot heel.
“You can’t hold a place like this together with rules,” he once said.
“You hold it together with memory. And a little fear.”
He knows what happens in the city’s shadows. The flesh trade. The shipjacks. The slow pulse of power radiating from the “houses” his former crewmates built around themselves. He tried to shut one of the newcomers down, once. Two days later, a Romulan D’Deridex warbird cast a shadow over his office. He stopped trying.
He doesn’t like it. But he also knows better.
What he does protect, absolutely, is the town’s freedom. The buildings. The people scraping by on junked hulls and dream fragments. If you hurt his town—he will come for you. Even if it costs him his last favor.

Secret Files Starfleet Intelligence Note
Vorek still maintains an open comm protocol keyed to a defunct Starfleet frequency. Analysts believe he occasionally attempts to hail deep patrols, hoping someone answers. Motivation: unclear. Possibly ideological guilt. Possibly he just wants someone to remember his name.
