Micah Zahir

Micah Zahir (2460 - 2577) was an independent resource surveyor and landowner most notable for discovering the Oretani system in 2481. Born on [Vann (Croshaw III)](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/bZkk4l4j2D-vann-croshaw-iii), Zahir migrated to [Asura (Ferron III)](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/0qaPo2JOj1-asura-ferron-iii) in 2480 to work as a mining scan operator. When he was unable to find employment, Zahir signed on as an escort for supply convoys. Zahir picked up a strange signal during one of these supply runs that he logged to investigate at a later time. When he returned alone to the area, he undertook a thorough search and discovered the [jump point](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/0rqzJPaMpY-jump-point) to the [Oretani system](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/bo1eNYWqqN-oretani-system). He named it after his favorite ship from the 2464 vid *Blast Crater*, and used the reward money from the UNE to purchase real estate on [Selene (Vega III)](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/0qaa69qqNA-selene-vega-iii/). At the time of his death in 2577, he was one of the largest landowners in the [Vega system](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/0jGGODZ6O6-vega-system).
