Kirsten Ankhayat is the head of the Ankhayat family on Cabina. She spearheaded a massive expansion of coffee cultivation on Cabina in the chaos following the dissolution of the CHR.

Traits and Appearance[]

Tall, with short dark hair, and usually dressed in a stylish black suit and skirt and heels. She is rarely seen without her data pad and her coterie of lawyers at close call. She has been called "ambitious to the point of megalomaniacal."

Early Life[]

Kirsten's great-great grandfather, Archevox Eridanus Ancaiatta Solon came to Cabina with plans to extend Tiber’s coffee empire to the frontier planet. In cooperation with Triangulum scientists, he worked to hybridize a coffee bean that would thrive in the cold-to-temperate climate of the planet and in its slowly recovering biosphere. This new strain of coffee plant became known as "Coffea cabina." Solon's descendents -- a wide and confusing network of Viscounts and Discounts and freemen, their name now localized to “Ankhayat” -- worked to shepherd the growth and development these coffee plants on their family’s land and their slow expansion to biodome and biosphere restoration projects.

From an early age, Kirsten was raised by her father as the heir to the Ankhayat project, and trained in economics, diplomacy, biology, and coffee cultivation and production.

Ankhayat Coffee Company[]

In 3200, during The Church of Humanity Repentant's dissolution, Kirsten called together a small group of select governmental advisors, corporate sponsors, and members of the press, and announced the formation of the Cabina Coffee Initiative.

Following the announcement, the Kirsten and the Ankhayat family began actively hiring individuals to staff its newly purchased harvesting and roasting infrastructure, much of which was purchased from former CHR projects nearing bankruptcy. She also spearheaded detailed cooperative initiatives with the governor’s office, sponsoring extensive coffee planting and production in both biodome projects and restored tracts of land.

After months of escalating hostilities with Cabina Cups Tea Company, the two companies eventually signed a tenuous and contentious compromise concerning various details of off-world shipping, market expansion, and utilization of Cabinan land. As part of this agreement, Ankhayat Coffee Company became a founding stakeholder of SERAPH.

Kirsten currently continues her work of expanding coffea cabina cultivation (both on Cabina and elsewhere), and expanding and protecting the market share of Ankhayat coffee.
