History
David's three-year tenure as Captain-General was relatively uneventful; he came to power in 2618, just as the Magistracy of Canopus reached the point in its rebuilding after the Reunification War where it started noticeably impinging on the economy of the Free Worlds League. Most of David's time in office was spent dealing with routine Star League business, and his time in office was brought to an end due to ill-health.[1] David had no children, and the last of his five siblings,[1] Ward Marik, was unwilling to become Captain-General, having recognized the looming economic crisis facing the Free Worlds League.[2] As a consequence the Parliament persuaded Tomas to come out of retirement and assume the post of Captain-General once more.[1]
