Space Pirates

Welcome aboard delegates, and buckle your seatbelts for the ride of a lifetime!

My name is Aishi Gulati, and I’m a second year student studying Economics and Global Studies here at UC Berkeley. As a Houston native, I expect to hear “Houston, we have a problem,” at least once during committee. I’ve been a part of UCBMUN since my first semester at Berkeley, and I’ve enjoyed every minute of it. In my free time I like attempting to raise plants, create art (in some form), and lift weights. Since the background of this committee is entirely fictional, delegates have the chance to go to infinity, and beyond. I’m incredibly excited to see how it all plays out!

Ahoy delegates!

My name is Antonio Kobe Lopez and I am extremely excited to be the Crisis Director of BearMUN’s Space Pirates Committee! I am a 4th year studying Economics and Public Policy at Berkeley, but outside of my academic focus I am a massive science fiction lover. I grew up obsessed with sci–fi classics like Star Trek, Star Wars, Battlestar Galactica, and Firefly. There were few things I wanted more than to explore the stars. But growing up, I’ve come to realize that you don’t even have to leave our solar system to see how big space is, just look at Leviathan Wakes or The Martian. Maybe one day we’ll explore other stars, but in the meantime there’s more than meets the eye to our solar system. In the future, Space Pirates like you may be lurking around every asteroid and moon, but the vast emptiness of space cuts both ways. Will you succeed in reviving the high seas in the highest skies, or will your empire crash back down to Earth, I can’t wait to find out!
