Rear Admiral Jon Grissom is a famed Systems Alliance hero. In 2149 when the Charon Relay was discovered orbiting Pluto and activated, none of the probes sent through had enough power to transmit a message back. The Alliance soon understood that the only way to discover where the relay led was to send a team through it. Grissom was chosen as the team leader and hailed as a hero when he returned, adopted by the masses as one of the great pioneers of human space exploration. __TOC__
