Prologue

The business of the Rajaram's family continues to flourish after their ancestor, Alagan Dhiren Rajaram, the eldest brother of the family, took over the company's business after the lost of both his younger brother, Sohan Kishan Rajaram and his caretaker, Anik Kadam. As the years continues to pass by, the business continues to grow, making their name known to the entire world. From only one big company station in one country, the company continues on to grow even bigger, having business partners nationwide, as they have more branch in other neighboring countries such as Russia, Malaysia, China, Australia and other who wishes to become their trading partner. Because of their good trading system, their reputation on being truthful and versatile depending on the people they are trading with, it's no surprise that a lot of people would wish to have business with them.

Their business isn't the only one that has been growing throughout the years, their family as well, could be seen growing into a nice, peaceful family. After the marriage of both Kelsey and Dhiren, their family were growing. Their children, from young, till the age of adulthood, created their own family along the way, no matter from what race and religion they are in, and they still came back together and spend a great deal of time with one another without any kinds of heavy dispute. It was indeed something beautiful and rare to be seen. But as time passes by, their parents aren't getting any younger either. The first one to leave the world was Kelsey. Out of old age, she passed away, and followed by Dhiren one month later on. But, before they leave the world, they had send a message to ever family member, that every member should be close to one another, and not be separated, and that is exactly what the family had done. As one passes on to another world, they'll be buried at the same place where the other families are. It can be in a different spot, but as long as it close by, it was good enough. Soon, it became a tradition for the Rajaram family to do such burial for the dead. 

As the death of the chairperson of the company, usually the responsibility will fall upon towards the eldest of the family, but to make it fair, the family themselves decided to create their own summit, with the family members to ensure that everyone agrees to whom the company's responsibility falls upon. With all the decision, give and take, one family member was selected to take on the legacy and the time continues on back to its original state. But everything that goes up in glory, must come down in flames at certain point, and that happens as well towards the business for the Rajaram. The reason of its downfall, is not because of any inner conflict with the family or the company itself, the major case of the downfall is because of humans themselves that created the destruction, where global conflict on Earth over the issue of genetic enhancement and human genome enhancement, that leads into a genocidal war and nuclear cataclysm, and the beginning of World War III, which last from the year 2026, till the year 2053. During these period of time, humans won't forget the death of at least 600 million human and the destruction of the planet's major cities and governments, the Rajaram's family and its company is no exception to that.

But, even during that turn of event, the family manage to survive, though, there are numerous family members who end up getting caught into the war. Some became soldiers and did not come back from it, and some was the casualty instead. It was indeed a dark time for their generation, as it last for years, until the point where the war subsided and they began to regain back their steps carefully. It was fortunate that their ancestor's home was still intact after the war, though there were several damage, but it was soon became the home for the family once more. As years passed on, from fictional becoming a reality, a man with the name Zefram Cochrane, created the first warp drive and manage to create first contact with another race, called Vulcans on April 5th, 2063. And this has became the mark where humans began to raise once more from the ashes of war and also the beginning of the creating the United Federation of Planets.

In the year 2161, the Federation was founded by the United Earth, Vulcans, Andorians and Tellar. And during this founding ceremony, a couple of members were invited to witness such occasion, as some of of them were in service Starfleet. It was the dawn of a new age of harmony and prosperity and all seems to be enjoying quite well though the journey isn't easy as what people usually would have expect. There are conflicts from time to time, such as the conflict with the Klingon Empire and the Romulan Empire at first, until both of the Federation and the Klingon created an alliance with one another, though thought the years, the Romulans still consider as hostiles with both factions, until a devastating interstellar conflict between the Federation Alliance and the Dominion from the year 2373 to 2375, which last for two years, as it is considered the bloodiest war in the Federation history, right after the Battle of Wolf 359, where the Federation intercepts a Borg Cube, where thirty nine ships were destroyed, trying to fend off one Borg Cube. 

The participation of the Rajaram during that time huge, where the young man and women from the family decided to join Starfleet to help fend against the threat. But only some made it back alive. One of the man was Ashan Dhiren Rajaram, a Starfleet Marine Corps, from the age of 18 years, he was in service during the Dominion War ground assault team and from there, he continues climbing into a rank of Lieutenant General, as he commands the Marine Delta Corps during the Klingon and Federation dispute at the age 50 years old. During his service in the Marines, he was married to a wonderful women he met back on Earth when he was at the age of 25. Married during his age of 30, the family soon had two daughters and two sons, and he soon became a grandfather at the during the age of 60 years old, as he was granted with numerous grandsons and granddaughters when he was still living. And as what the Rajaram would do from generations, Ashan would always tell a tale of a young, beautiful girl, and two of her tigers to his grandchildren, hoping that one day, the tale of the Rajaram family would lived on. Though many of the grandchildren didn't take part of the story, one of his granddaughter took quite an interest on listening to his tale. Ashan was quite grateful of  that, as there would be at least one child who would bear the legacy of the Rajaram, at least before he passed away from the world. Graceful and pure, he was quite certain the name Anahita fits her well, as she will be the next generation of Rajaram to be living in this century.
