Cerel Ulwenius

Member of the senate Cerel Ulwenius was the former chairman of the liberal political party known as the Democratic League in the Gigerdi Alliance.

During the Hemmoian Civil War, Ulwenius decided to hold a speech during a regular senate hearing concerning the war. During this speech, he gave open support to the Hemmoian Rebellion and sympathized with their agenda, and even offered them safe havens in GA territories. Ulwenius also stated, that the Hemmoian Federation was just a "large concentration of totalitarian mushrooms with bloated craniums gone bad". President Dalleer immediately acted by sending security forces to place Ulwenius and fellow senators Jul Hadok and Thamar Gader under arrest.

The three senators were then placed under house arrest at their apartments in Station Prime orbiting Gigerdi Prime. After spending some days in almost total isolation, Ulwenius managed to contact Hadok and Gader. He told them to escape the station as soon as possible, and to try and find refuge from some location that the GA couldn't reach. After a daring escape, only Ulwenius and Hadok managed to escape from the station. Hadok then quietly hitched rides in cargo freighters in order to reach Rebellion controlled space in the Delta Quadrant, but Ulwenius had a slightly harder time of escaping GA space. He first went to Ivor Prime, from where he boarded a civilian liner headed to the outskirts of the Zelok system (under Rebel control). At some point during the travel, the transport pulled out of faster than light travel, and then simply disappeared. This mysterious disappearance of Transport TD-812 has never been solved, but theories exist of a possible reactor failure aboard the ship - or even terrorism. Some even believe, that a GA military vessel intercepted the transport.
