Joona Tzur (b. 2852) is the former Governor of [Severus (Kiel III)](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/V3GOdL9lYN-severus-kiel-iii), [Kiel system](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/Var8kAJnaQ-kiel-system), [United Empire of Earth (UEE)](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/VyvyKxy4v6-united-empire-of-earth). Elected in 2903, he established a program to revitalize Severus' economy by selling the planet's abandoned military infrastructure to corporations in search of low-cost real estate. The strategy paid off when numerous aerospace corporations took Tzur up on his offer. Tzur reinvested the money into the creation of green spaces and other public places, creating more jobs for the residents and improving the previously blighted landscape. In 2913, thanks to Tzur's overtures, the board of the [Intergalactic Aerospace Expo](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/R4jpEgezde-intergalactic-aerospace-expo) elected to make a permanent home on Severus. Tzur completed his term as Governor in 2915.
