Template:King Andrew Starfyre (King Andrew I) (Andrew Rai'ix Chume Starfyre) was the first male monarch of the Hapes Consortium, having been granted the position by a majority of nobility following half a century of civil war in the Hapes Cluster.
He was born on the planet Charubah in the Charu system and was the son of a noblewoman and her pleasure-slave. His mother wanted nothing to do with him and his father was banished from the province government palace. As a result, Starfyre grew up in a rather modest environment as his father took to farming the land for food. Early on he befriended such individuals as Derrik Florda who he later formed the Phoenix Movement with.
In 3979, Starfyre and Florda found an old XGH-50 stock freighter which they repaired and modified, using it to traverse the Hapes Cluster under the guise of a mere supply transport. Befriending many along their way, the two eventually became entangled in the affairs and business of the Draconian Union. By the Draconians, Starfyre and Florda were viewed as nothing more than a group of insurgents, but the two farmboys influence grew and the Phoenix Movement was formed in 3985. The Phoenix Movement tilted the balance of power in the Hapan civil war and drove the Draconian Union out of the Charu system in 3991.
By 3998 the Sword Confederacy had surrendered to Starfyre and the Phoenix Movement and the Draconian Union engaged the Phoenix forces in the second battle of Gallinore. As the Draconians were defeated, the path to peace had been laid down. Starfyre was made King of the re-unified Hapes Consortium in 4027.
His reign was a peaceful one, spent mending the wounds and scars the civil war had left on the Hapes Cluster. Security was expanded and much of the Hapan treasuries were spent on rebuilding the Hapan societal infrastructure. By 4026 he was too sick to rule, but had appointed Jessy James as Crown Prince and Alexander Tylger as Regent and Prime Minister. After abdicating, he was shot on Jessy James' coronation day and died three weeks later.
