Background:

Part of the small tight-knit Vietnamese community in the Belt, Van is an independent owner-operator of the cargo vessel Svetlana Savitskaya. The ship belongs to a family-owned freight business, Triplanetary Shipping out of Ceres. Deeply devoted to his family, he's finding it hard to make ends meet and pay his crew (most of whom are related) as he doesn't necessarily have a ruthless head for business. He is generally apolitical in the struggle between Earth, Mars and the Belters. Strong-willed and focused, he is nevertheless well-liked by his crew and is not lacking for friends among his colleagues.
