Neal Socolovich

Neal Socolovich (2373 - 2474) was a General in the United Nations of Earth (UNE) Army, and a key figure in the negotiation of the Banu-Human Interstellar Peace and Trade Accord, the first interspecies treaty in Human history. Born on Angeli (Croshaw II), he joined the UNE Army in 2390. He was promoted to the rank of General in 2415 after completing two deployments to the Banshee system, where he gained a reputation for his ability to settle conflicts with outlaws without opening fire. In 2430, General Socolovich was assigned a command post in the newly discovered Davien system. Historians credit his thoughtful leadership during Banu-Human First Contact in 2438 for ensuring that Humanity's initial encounter with another civilization was a peaceful one. Upon his retirement in 2441, he purchased a plot of land on his home planet and entered the winemaking business. He passed away in 2474.
