Derrick Rosten was the founder of the Rosten Company, now one of the largest retail companies in the galaxy. However, it never became a big business during his life, that accomplishment being carried out by his son Milo Rosten. Before Rosten could begin profiting from the then-small company, he was drafted into the Humanmilitary in 1680 during the Cosmian Wars. He was killed in action in 1690 on the planet of Lemminikist.
