Thane Voss is the Kastaran Ambassador to the Gawian Empire. He is a young diplomat (mid-20s) caught between two worlds and fighting to save his people through diplomacy rather than violence. Raised on the desert planet Kastara, Thane witnessed his father denied water rations for speaking against Imperial mining operations. While his childhood friend Zain chose resistance and rebellion, Thane chose to learn the Empire's language, wear their clothes, and speak their diplomatic language, not to betray his people, but to ensure they have a voice at the table.
