Although controversial in her native Vietnam, the late revolutionary Nguyễn Thị Bích Nguyệt has become a popular figure among Lesbian Nationalists and Anarcho-Capitalists alike over the course of the 23rd century. Born to a working class family in the sleepy city of Đông Hà, Nguyễn exhibited signs of intelligence and political acumen at an early age. According to her posthumously-published memoirs, she read many political classics during her school years, ranging from the works of revered late modern theorists like Marx, Lenin, and Ho Chi Minh to more controversial ones like Hitler, Putin, and Trump. But it was a poor Vietnamese translation of Atlas Shrugged, a novel by an obscure 20th century author named Ayn Rand that grabbed Nguyễn the most.
Inspired by Rand's vision of free enterprise and self-improvement, Nguyễn became a small time drug dealer. Soon she amassed a vast amount of wealth for a high school student, earning her the admiration of her classmates, male and female alike. After some experimentation, Nguyễn discovered her preference for girls, developing sexual relations with several before falling for a beautiful young police informer. By a minor miracle, Nguyễn managed to survive the shootout even as she took out four cops with her railgun.
With a recent Supreme People's Court ruling banning capital punishment, Nguyễn, despite her status as a convicted drug dealer and quadruple murderer, managed to avoid being put to death. Regardless, she was deemed an irredeemable threat to the Vietnamese people and deported to a women's penal colony in the remote Tau Ceti system.
It was en route to Tau Ceti that an impressionable young male guard, during an especially lonely night on the Đảo An Bang, made the mistake of removing Nguyễn from her state of cryogenic sleep and offering her freedom in exchange for her hand in marriage. She responded by ripping out his jugular vein with her teeth, stealing his firearm, and taking the surviving members of the crew hostage. The hijacked spacecraft landed on the nearest habitable planet. Nguyễn, motivated by her political vision of a free society, set about starting her own colony, waking up the 137 other women prisoners and summarily executing all but a handful of the cooperative male guards and crew necessary for sustainable reproduction.
The colony, Đá Trắng, named after the white rocks that lay scattered across the bleak landscape, was hardly a prosperous place in its earliest years. Relying on the dwindling food and water rations to survive, colonists struggled to domesticate the gray, fist-sized sand potatoes, which were the only endemic organism on the barren planet. Seeing these problems and remembering her previous entrepreneurial existence, Chairwoman Nguyễn began to take advantage of the ship's abundant supply of sedative drugs. A committed fiscal conservative, she privatized the asset, commodifying it and selling to nearby colonies in exchange for food, water, and concubines.
Aside from her indulgence in the drug trade, Nguyễn, citing her libertarian beliefs, did not engage in much actual governance. Little is known of the last two years of her Chairwomanship and life, as she grew increasingly recluse, surrounding herself with a harem of beautiful young women. One of these women was a nubile indentured servant named Ashley, who had been purchased a couple weeks before from a nearby Canadian colony. Despite her continued silence over the matter, she is the only known witness to Chairwoman Nguyễn's mysterious death from heart failure. And while Đá Trắng authorities dismissed the notion of charging Ms. McGinniss with any foul play, the causes of the sudden cardiac arrest are still unclear, with theories ranging from cocaine overdose to a particularly violent triple orgasm.
