Tomáš Kovář

Director of Colony Logistics, The Transit Bureau

Age 43 · From Brno, Czech Republic · Arrived on Derech

Runs every supply chain keeping 43,000 colonists alive, from food distribution to medical inventory to the 28-month cargo manifests he prepares for each Earth resupply window. Writes like a critical-path analysis with existential dread: methodical, precise, unexpectedly gripping. Formerly built life-critical supply chain systems at Unilog in Heidelberg.

Brews Czech-style lager at home and defends it as a legitimate supply chain demonstration. Has a standing Monday meeting with Marcus Osei that hasn't missed a week in six years. His daughter Klára, eleven when he left Earth, is now thirty-eight and works in logistics herself.
