Background
Jeremy Karabulut was born in 2575 aboard the spaceship Last Frontier and was raised in a structured, uniform society where all settlers wore identical space suits. While many Exohumans accepted this practicality as a necessity for survival, Jeremy found himself captivated by images from old Earth—fashion shows, tailored suits, and the concept of personal expression through clothing.
His father, a Guarding Trooper, and his mother, an Engineer responsible for Service Bot maintenance, had little interest in fashion, but they supported his curiosity. As an only child, Jeremy spent countless hours consuming old media, sketching garment designs, and dreaming of a time when clothing could once again reflect individual identity.
A Visionary in the Early Days of Settlement
After the crash-landing on VOI 700 D in 2625, Exohumans were no longer confined to their Last Frontier-issued space suits. The settlers, eager to reclaim personal freedom after generations of uniformity, sought new ways to express themselves — an opportunity Jeremy recognized immediately.
Without formal training, he established Karabulut Garment Manufactory (KGM), pioneering the post-landing fashion movement. His hands-on, DIY mindset allowed him to quickly produce functional yet stylish garments, tailored to the needs of the settlers. He was the first entrepreneur to turn sewing into an industry, capitalizing on the settlers’ hunger for individuality.
His work was frequently imitated, but Jeremy remained ahead of his competition, driven by a deep passion for textiles and an intuitive sense of what people wanted. His ability to innovate — not only in style but also in production efficiency—ensured his dominance in the market.
The Rise of Hekana-Based Textiles
Jeremy’s greatest breakthrough came with the introduction of Hekana fibers into garment production. While most settlers continued to repurpose space suit materials, Jeremy recognized the unique properties of Hekana, a plant native to VOI 700 D. He collaborated with agricultural pioneers to cultivate and refine the fiber, creating lightweight, breathable, and durable fabrics that revolutionized clothing.
By 2628, KGM was the dominant textile producer in New Kourou, supplying not only leisurewear but also specialized work clothing for settlers, mechanics, and law enforcement. His garments were in high demand, fetching high prices on both legal and black markets.
Death During the Great War
Jeremy Karabulut met his fate on December 7, 2630, during the Great War. As the conflict escalated, his Hekana fields nearby Hope became a strategic asset. The Alliance of Native Tribes, seeking to disrupt Exohuman industry, targeted KGM’s plantations. Instead of evacuating, Jeremy chose to defend his land, fighting alongside his workers in a doomed last stand.
He was killed in the attack, but his legend endured. In his final will, he assigned leadership of KGM to a group of trusted employees, forming the Loyal Committee, ensuring the company’s continuity.
Legacy and Nationalization
Jeremy’s death spared him from witnessing the fall of his life’s work. In 2632, under the Communard government of Supreme Councilor Aisha Patel, KGM was forcibly nationalized and absorbed into the Federal Garment Manufactory (FGM).
Despite this, many former KGM employees remained in the industry, continuing to work at FGM. They kept Jeremy’s legacy alive, passing down his craftsmanship, techniques, and rebellious spirit. His early garments are now prized collectibles on the black market, sought after by Individualists and Outlaws as symbols of pre-Communard freedom.
