The Ryan Family has carved a lasting legacy of exploration within the galaxy, tracing its roots back to the legendary Arthur Ryan, the family patriarch. Born in 3153, Arthur was driven by an unrelenting desire to uncover the mysteries of the cosmos. In 3218, he embarked on his most famous and final expedition to find Raxxla, a journey that has remained shrouded in mystery. Arthur’s famous words, “Don’t just look at the world. Look into the deeper parts of the Galaxy, and you will find true wisdom,” serve as a guiding principle for the Ryan family’s enduring legacy. His disappearance left behind a powerful legacy of curiosity and discovery.
Arthur's only son, John Ryan, was born in 3213 and, unlike his father, chose a different path, building a successful logistics empire rather than focusing on exploration. However, John never strayed far from the family’s passion for the stars. He supported his twin sons, Michael and Jack Ryan, as they ventured into the world of deep-space exploration, ensuring the Ryan legacy continued. He is commander of Exologic Tau.
Born in 3267, Michael and Jack Ryan inherited their great-grandfather’s explorer spirit. Michael Ryan, a charismatic and ambitious leader, founded the Ryan Family Foundation, which spearheaded the family’s exploration efforts. He is the commander of the Exologic Alpha, the flagship fleet carrier of the Extrasolar Xenobiology Organisation (EXO), a premier group dedicated to researching extrasolar life forms. His passion for photography captures the beauty of the distant worlds he encounters. Michael is also responsible for the discovery of Arcadia, a system in the Trojan Belt region, roughly 36,000 light-years from Sol. This remote system, named Lyaiso YW-B b13-5, has become a haven for explorers, with the Ryan Foundation Dock, commanded by his daughter Aurora Ryan, and the Arcadia Explorer Hub, overseen by his other daughter Celine Ryan, serving as central hubs for those seeking to discover the unknown.

Aurora Ryan, shares her father’s passion for the stars. As the commander of the Ryan Foundation Dock, she ensures that explorers have a safe home in the depths of Arcadia. Her calm and collected nature contrasts with her younger sister’s fiery enthusiasm, but both sisters share a close bond, strengthened by their shared upbringing in a family of explorers.
Celine Ryan, the younger of Michael’s daughters, is a prodigy child, astrobiologist and the commander of the Arcadia Explorer Hub. From a young age, she displayed a fascination with the stars, meticulously recording her observations in her journal. Celine’s calm but visionary leadership has earned her the role of overseeing the next generation of explorers from Arcadia.
Meanwhile, Jack Ryan, Michael’s twin brother, commands the Exologic Omega, a fleet carrier that serves as a support vessel for EXO expeditions. Jack, more introverted than his brother, focuses on basic exploration and exobiology, content with working in the background to support the family’s larger goals. His quiet dedication provides a necessary balance to Michael’s more dynamic leadership.
At the heart of the Ryan Family’s legacy is Arcadia, their greatest discovery. Once an unknown system in the far reaches of the galaxy, it now stands as a beacon of hope for explorers, offering opportunities for scientific research and discovery. The Ryan Family Foundation continues to uphold the family’s core values, providing support to new commanders and creating pathways for them to explore the stars, just as Arthur Ryan once did.
The Ryan family, each with their own strengths and passions, remains united by their shared love for discovery, a passion passed down from Arthur Ryan through each generation, ensuring that their legacy endures across the stars.
