The Aristocrats of Star Base 12

Karissa, Kevin and Richard at Pembroke Territory

Kevin Riley introduced his best friend, Richard Williams to Karissa out at Pembroke Territory while they were vacationing with her.

Kevin Thomas Riley has since graduated from Star-Fleet Academy, completed his internship on board The USS Enterprise and he decides to settle down in June of 2278 and marries the second daughter of Lord Jeremiah and Lady Elizabeth Collins.

They settle down at Collinswood Manor and Lady Isabella's eldest sister, Lady Josette Collins marries Lord John Seymour in 2276 and she becomes Duchess of Somerset Territory and she has Lord Jeremiah and Lady Elizabeth's first grandson, Lord Edward Seymour in 2278.

Lady Isabella is Kevin's second choice since at the time he met Karissa. He wasn't ready to marry and he lost her to Lord Andrew Charles Howard in March of 2275.

Despite the fact that Kevin doesn't like Lord Andrew Charles Howard and Lord Andrew Charles Howard is no friend of Kevin Thomas Riley.

They bridge the gap for Lady Karissa's sake as Kevin was her very first friend when she journeyed to Star Base 12 from Post World War III Planet Earth in 2170.

Kevin Thomas Riley is not an aristocrat just like Karissa, but they marry into it.

The Collins come from gentry families from Pre-World War Three Planet Earth from England and France.

Lord Edward Collins and wife, Lady Laura traveled with Lord Patrick William Howard on board the USS Republic on April 30, 2153.

With the help of the other gentlemen on Star-Base 12, Lord Patrick William Howard drew up the blueprint of Collinwood Manor and Lord Edward always loved the countryside and it was erected in the territory of Suffolk whose Duke was Lord Anthony Grey.

As soon Collinswood was built and his wife and he moved in they started their family and they had two sons and a daughter.

It is through his two sons came Lord Jeremiah and Lady Elizabeth and they had two daughters, Lady Josette and Lady Isabella Collins.

Lady Josette was the eldest daughter and Lady Isabella was the youngest daughter but Lord Jeremiah married his wife, Lady Elizabeth for love alone and they wanted the same for their daughters.

Lord John Seymour saw the beautiful Lady Josette and they were married in May of 2275 and they had a son, Lord Edward John Seymour in 2278.

Lord John Seymour was heir to Lord William Seymour,Duke of Somerset Territory.

When Kevin Thomas Riley started to court Lady Isabella in 2277 and it was in June of 2278 he married Lady Isabella Collins.

Lady Isabella didn't care for a title, property,or money. She just wanted to marry, start a family, and Kevin Thomas Riley had a good career with the United Federation of Planets and a good salary.

Kevin Thomas Riley refused to accept the title of Lord Kevin Thomas Riley but he knew any of their children would fare better if they used Lord or Lady in front of their names.

Kevin agreed to allow his children to use the name of Lord and Lady and they would become Lord or Lady.

Whereas, Lady Josette became Duchess of Somerset Territory, Lord John Seymour wouldn't accept a dowry from Lord Jeremiah Collins as he fell in love with Lady Josette for her kindness and gentleness.

Kevin never forgot Karissa and he never forgave himself for not marrying her when he had the chance.

Lady Isabella told him " Don't be hard on yourself, Kevin."

"I know that I am your second choice and I have accepted it." Lady Isabella tells him.

"While I was growing up both my sister and I were very sheltered by my father and mother. We were sent to Madame's Boarding House to complete our education." Lady Isabella states.
