Alberto Vara (2891 - present) is an Aron Award-winning astroengineer and founder of Infinity Custom, a full ship customization studio and garage. After graduating from the Martian Institute of Space and Technology (MIST) in 2914, he began his career at Origin Jumpworks as a junior engineer. Vara's engine work on the M50 earned him his first Aron Award in 2921. He was promoted to chief engineer in 2925, a position he held until he left to found his own company in 2932. A few years after his departure, a design sketch depicting an open-canopy racer was discovered in Origin's archives. Vara collaborated with Origin to bring this concept to life, and the X1 racer debuted in 2947.
