Background
Van Krause was a name known in the system for being a less then reputable ship, some might call them smugglers, pirates, criminals. But they always worked on the ol addage of 'Supply and Demand'. But their definition might've been a little different then the original earth saying. Lauding themselves as 'Free-Traders' there wasn't anything they weren't willing to get their hands on and sell for the right pay off. The true entrepreneurial spirit as far as they were concerned.
The reputation of Zilly' parents was such that even she was assumed to be stolen or acquired in one of their many deals, but the young heir apparent fit in among the rag-tag band of space born traders. Forming their own unique culture hinting to that of old Germanic and Nordic customs for the most part. Despite all of those rumors though they have always insisted to be honest and capable merchants with a talent for creative negotiation from Kalidasa to the Blue sun they've wheeled and dealed their way through the 'Verse.
Zilly though is the youngest member of the notorious family named for the ship she was born on rather then any sort've family tradition. But that name has still served her well allowing the young Free-Trader to get a few good jobs and even a contract or two since departing the family business to get a little 'real world' experience. After all a kids gotta make it on her own before shes ready to take over anything let alone a ship. But its one of those things that always seems to be in the back of head. Will she hold onto the family philosophy or will some other way of life hood this young aspiring merchant and neer' do well.
