2216 - The Terran Alliance conducts the Third Grand Survey, and discovers KH5467, a yellow G-type star one and three quarters larger than Sol in the Izar Cluster of stars. A military survey team is sent and reports four gas giants, three habitable planets with abundant fresh water and arable land, six habitable moons, and large asteroid belts with multiple resources including abundant water ice. At the highest levels of military command, a decision was made not to disclose the information. The system and its resources would be classified top secret and all workers will be classified as Terran Alliance Civilian Contractors. Shipyards, starports, agriculture, mining, and personnel and resource renewal endeavors are established between 2217 and 2219.

Their new wealth is then used to obtain the ownership of several ships (a jumpship, two dropships, and several small craft), new identities, and invested wisely in growth markets and cargo. The family still maintains genial relations with The Order, good contacts are good business.
