'''Jaques''' is a cyborg bartender and the owner of [[Jaques Station]].<br />
<br />
==Biography==<br />
The earliest accounts of Jaques identify him as a member of the Quinentis Fourteens, a [[Federation]] black ops team.<ref name="Galnet LLSR">[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/ed828569907e2e83414b264183efdd590067abb0 GalNet: Long Lost Station Returns]</ref> Jaques had been conscripted rather than voluntarily enlisted, and upon failing his physical exam the Federation altered him into a cyborg so he could fight effectively. Jaques and his unit were captured by [[Empire|Imperial]] forces during the Battle of Hell's Gate. As a prisoner of war, Jaques was forced to endure being disassembled and reassembled by Imperial scientists.<ref name="Glister">[http://lotf.co.uk/all_that_glisters.html ''Stories of Life on the Frontier:'' ''All That Glisters...'']</ref><br />
<br />
Following the war, Jaques' cyberization became subject to a legal tangle between the Federation and the Empire over who owned his cybernetic components. Jaques not only had to pay off the modifications done to him, but after seeking Imperial medical assistance to remove a latent genetic disease that they had planted on him as a POW, he was forced to work hazardous jobs for a century to pay off the bills. He then lost the use of his legs in a mining accident that damaged his brain.<ref name="Glister" /><br />
<br />
With his debts paid and wanting to settle down somewhere with decent technicians to keep him maintained, Jaques obtained a position as bartender in the newly-built Peters Base station orbiting Topaz in [[Facece]]. By 3200, after two centuries of serving up drinks, he had secured ownership over half of the station. Jaques' dream was to buy out the rest of the station, attach engines to it, and use it to explore the galaxy.<ref name="Glister" /><br />

</ref><ref name="Galnet LLSR" /> After venturing to several systems near the human bubble, Jaques attempted to jump his station to [[Beagle Point]], but was unsuccessful due to [[Unknown Artefact]] interference with the station's drives.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/572b48d09657baa33659e116 GalNet: Community Goal: Jaques' Big Jump]</ref><ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/57348b939657ba6f57f3e221 GalNet: Galactic News: Jaques to Embark for Beagle Point]</ref><ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/575e8a429657bae76bad9183 GalNet: Galactic News: Where is Jaques Station?]</ref><ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5773954c9657ba977c8a0231 GalNet: Galactic News: Jaques Station Found!]</ref> This resulted in Jaques and his station becoming stranded in Eol Prou RS-T d3-94, now known as [[Colonia]], where they are presently located.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5774e64f9657ba3d668a023a GalNet: Galactic News: Jaques Speaks]</ref><ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/577e56579657ba442e84db7b GalNet: Galactic News: Jaques Station on the Mend]</ref><ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5790e2e29657ba710399cd7d GalNet: Community Goal: Repair Jaques Station]</ref><ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/57a320d79657baa84c34e14c GalNet: Galactic News: Jaques Station Making a Comeback]</ref><br />

Jaques spoke to [[Vox Galactica]] via [[holovid]] on 20 August 3312:<ref name=":0">[https://www.elitedangerous.com/news/galnet/colonia-celebrations-conclude-with-megamarket-opening Colonia Celebrations Conclude with Megamarket Opening] - Galnet, 20 Augustus 3312</ref> ''"It took me some time to pull in some old favours and negotiate with several corporations, but I have finally established Jaques Station as a megamarket! This old starport is now proud to offer a full suite of outfitting and service options available. This is a huge boost for Colonia and the region! Every year, our small corner of the galaxy becomes a greater place to visit and stay!"''<ref name=":0" /><br />
