Born 2162.
Zalia was born into an executive board household within the Tranh Electronic Systems apex corporation.
Middle daughter of a senior executive she grew up within the Tranh conglomerate inner circle.
When Starguild nobility was introduced in the 2170s decadal business cycle, Aldox Tranh, founder and CEO of Tranh Electronic Systems, became a Rank-8 earl (delegate noble).
As an earl and Rank-8 CEO, Aldox could elevate 20 retainers to Rank-7 viscount.
Aldox elevated Zalia’s mother to Rank-7 viscountess delegate noble.
This made Zalia’s mother head of her own noble household.
As head of noble household, she could elevate 6 others to viscount non-delegate status.
Zalia became a viscountess at age 13 (non-delegate noble familial).
Zalia was an exceptional child who stood out amongst her peers.
Her siblings grew up Starcaste members of an executive family; only Zalia was elevated to viscountess.
Zalia was groomed to become an executive who would wield power amongst Starcaste elite.
2182, Valindor Tranh takes over from her father as CEO.
She had the right to elevate her own retainers, but chose to maintain the existing households (Aldox original retainers).
Zalia was a young executive ready for an independent assignment (22 YO).
Heisson Aeronautics was beginning its glacial creep towards absorbing Tranh, forcing Valindor to deal with the threat.
Valindor tasked Zalia with exploring business opportunities with Exotech, opportunities that could lead to joint venture or merger.
Zalia headed to New Eden to explore opportunities (2183).
Sky-Gardens at the Web were authorized in 2184.
This project made her a large fund executive.
2185, Zalia returned to Tranh with construction of the 1st Sky-Garden estate underway.
Two of Aldox’s original retainers retire.
Zalia became one of Valindor’s retainers: Rank-7 delegate noble (viscountess).
Zalia is a noble head of her own household and can elevate 6 to non-delegate noble status.
Unattached and working remote, she has declined to do so.
Viscountess Zalia is a bound retainer attentive to her patron’s interests and wears a bound sigil.
Exotech understands Zalia is one of Valindor’s retainers and accepted her into their ranks on New Eden.
New Eden was considered a backwater world without secured technology risks.
A Rank-5 cooperation within the Rank-9 Exotech conglomerate oversees New Eden.
Both Exotech and Tranh hope to make use of Zalia’s skill and energy.
Her time on New Eden was a test.
Zalia was a large fund executive bringing Tranh Starguild Imperial Eagles to New Eden.
Her investment could revitalize the Web.
The Sky-Gardens are a stepping stone toward larger joint ventures.
Viscountess Zalia is a Rank-7 Delegate Noble and Head of Noble Household:
There are only 94 Starcaste that outrank Zalia; she is extremely high on the totem pole.
Darius Hummel IV, the chief executive on New Eden, is only a Rank-5 Starcaste executive.
Zalia can elevate 6 others to Rank-7 non-delegate noble members of her household (viscount, viscountess title).
She is an extremely desirable prospect.
Like royalty of old, her marriage could secure bonds between Exotech and Tranh hierarchies.
