Rock Linn

Rock Linn was the president of the Martine Planetary government prior to the arrival of the Abh Empire and their annexation. He is also the father of Jinto Linn.

An elected leader, Rock Linn assumed the Martine presidency sometime before I.C.Y. 944-945. By this time, his wife and the mother of his son had passed away and Jinto was in his prepubescent years. Rock seemed to spend more time dealing with governmental issues than with his son since Jinto spent most of his time under the care of Rina and Till Clint — the President’s aide and friend of the family.

When the empire arrived to annex the Hyde System, Rock decided that Martine was far too outnumbered and outgunned to resist the Abh. To save the planet and avoid a costly war, he ordered the surrender despite disagreement among his cabinet. Rock also made a deal with the Abh empire, that with the Martine surrender, he and his family would be recognized as Abh nobility so they would still rule at the head of the Martine government.
