AD Janson

Commander AD Janson is an Emorian Jump Corps officer who served as the Executive Officer of the EUV Venture from its launch until 26 October, 2316, when he became acting Captain following the death of Captain Ava Paige. He was relieved of command on 2 November, 2316, by acting Executive Officer Thomas Greene.

A devoted member of the Insular Movement, Janson orchestrated the deaths of Captain Paige and Ambassadors Jorge Esposito and Aris Jones in order to derail the Venture Expedition. While he is a well-known figure within the Movement, he largely hides his anti-exploration beliefs from outsiders, in order to work towards the Movement's goals from within the Jump Corps.

A cunning and well-spoken man, Janson was responsible for bringing many recruits into the movement, including Harriet Emmanuel; following the death of Captain Ava Paige, he also tried to turn Thomas Greene toward the Movement.

Following his removal, Janson was confined to the brig of the EUV Venture, with the goal of returning him to the Emorian Union for trial.
