Marea Nubium

Marea Nubium.

United Earth Citizen - Declared Selenian - Became Union Citizen in 2226

Born 2195 - Died 2288

Daughter of Modu Lander and Adele Nubium, both Lunar Farmers. Marea was fiercly proud of being a Selenian, to a point she almost hated Earthers.

Despite her firebrand character she was elected to be the Representative of Luna at the first call for Assembly at Pluribus Unum.

Of the 712 representatives from United Earth (712 colonies and communities) only Luna demanded to be admitted as a separate Union Member. It was cheifly Marea Nubium who demanded it. In 2226 OTT Luna declared itself not being part of United Earth, but a separate endity and became Union Member.

Earth stopped all subsidized water deliveries, arguing if Luna is its own entity, then there is no need for Earth subsidizing anything. That episode of early Union history is almost forgotten (Except on Luna) It  led to the Luna Water War of 2134 (A local war between Luna Farmers and Marea supporters.)

Marea was recalled as rep and charged by a Luna tribunal for agitation and mis representation. The Tribunal was disolved by Union court order before it could convene. However a Union court did find her guilty in seven counts lying to the Union Assembly and mis representing her community (The details when the Death penalty was called for were still discussed at the Assembly at that time)

She was sentenced to 40 years exile from Luna (and sent to Pluto).

Marea wrote several books, married twice and divorced twice. She returned to Luna in 2267 and died 21 years later on her parents farm in 2288
