Nick Croshaw (SEY 2236 - 2321) was an astrophysicist and pilot who achieved fame as the first Human to discover and successfully navigate a jump point on 10 April SEY 2271. He was also the first Human to visit a planetary system beyond Sol, which would eventually be named in his honor.
Croshaw spent years studying the Neso Triangle, a sector near Neptune (Sol VIII) where spacecraft would vanish without trace or explanation. His findings led him to believe that a previously undiscovered type of astral anomaly was responsible for the disappearances. By utilizing a personally modified quantum drive, he was able to embark on a solo mission to traverse through the anomaly and "jump" to another solar system. Croshaw's successful navigation of the first Human-discovered jump point ushered in a new age of exploration and colonization for Humans.
