Job Trunicht (Japanese: ヨブ・トリューニヒト) was a consummate politician, he headed a corrupt administration throughout the final days of the Free Planets Alliance. Though democratically elected, Job Trunhit used fear to maintain his power--fear of the Galactic Empire, and fear of his own secret police, the murderous Patriotic Knights Corps.

Secretary of Defense

Before the coup d'etat, Truniht sat as the elected secretary of defense. His party is pro-war, so he pressed for the battles at Astate, Tiamat, and Iserlohn. He opposed the FPA invasion of the empire for unknown reasons. When he asked Yang Wen-li what is the best strategy to win a war, Yang simply responded that a war must be won before being fought, and that 6 times the manpower of the enemy was enough to make up for deficiencies in any tactics. This upset Truniht, because his own reasons for warfare served his personal gain rather than defeat of the empire. In retaliation, he requested that Yang Wen Li be sent in the 2nd Fleet to engage Admiral Lohengramm. To add insult to injury, he only authorized a force twice the size of the imperial fleet, rather than 6 times. Upon the conclusion of Astate, he spun the defeat as victory for the reason the FPA fleet survived at all.

Defeat and Defection

Job Truniht's life was spared following the Alliance's surrender to the Galactic Empire thanks to Yang Wenli's direct plea to Reinhard von Lohengramm for leniency. Truniht, in turn, appealed directly to Reinhard hoping to be given a position of authority. Reinhard was disgusted by Truniht, and refused to meet with him directly, and granted him a small estate on an out-of-the-way Imperial world.

Some time later, Trunicht approached Ernest Mecklinger, head of the Imperial Police on Odin, with details of the Earth Cult's plot to assassinate Reinhard von Lohengramm via Baron von Kunmel. Truniht's information on the Terraists was vital to the Empire's quick response and subsequent retaliation on the Earth Cult headquarters on Earth. While it is likely Truniht hoped to trade that information for political or financial gain, it is unknown whether or not he recieved any reward for his help. Trunihts activities after this time are unknown, though, presumably, he lived a quiet life.
