Biography
Victoria Stewart Aceleron was born February 18, 2003 on New Caprica Colony, Mars to parents Eris and Amphrithon Aceleron. Born just before the end of the 2nd Earth/Cylon war Victoria was born in the poorest era of the Colonies history. Little known to most society Victoria had lived through 4 prominent eras of post-Earth Colonial history including the creation of Empire itself, the height of its corruption, and its downfall and currently its reunification.

However during this era of her birth and early youth New Caprica was barely emerging out of its near destruction after its brutal assault from both forms of the Cylon species as the Inviere and Roslin families fostered a new peace creating a new era never before seen in 6,000 years. However New Caprica remained in near ruins with its human inhabitants living on the absolute near razors edge of survival.

Business Career
Victoria was born into a family of originally lower middle class intercolonial merchants, however after the conflict were forced to become emergency supply couriers who had lost their home and most of their meager fortune. It was during this time that Victoria had 1st met Aristotle Aphroditos 1 of the most richest and powerful men in the 13 Colonies.

The Aphroditos Corporation desprately needed shipping and supplies couriers between New Tauron and the Rebel Imperial Fleet, and Victorias family was picked as one of several of these shipping groups.

Corprate Rivalries
While Victoria rose Aphroditos Industries into one of the most powerful supercorporations within the Colonial Industrial/political complex, Victoria realized that they were also now part of a chain of ultra powerful families and companies that both ruled and owned nearly most ships, goods, and services that were the very life blood of the Colonies.

These companies becides the Roslin Foundation and Aphroditos Corp also included,
 * The Martin Foundation/Group
 * Graystone Industries

With this newly aquirred power and infulence Victoria now wanted a seat at the "Big Boys table" and an assured spot within the Colonial Conscil.
