'''Michael Cendar''' was a politician from the [[Rim Commonality]] who served as its [[Prime Minister of the Rim Commonality|Prime Minister]] during the Thirty-second Century.

==History==
Cendar was elected as Prime Minister of the Rim Commonality in [[3110]].<ref name=TRtCc34>''To Ride the Chimera'', ch. 34</ref>

As [[Operation HAMMERFALL]] continued into [[3138]], Cendar contemplated annexing [[Westover]] and its [[Aerospace Fighter|aerospace]] manufacturing to give his state a vital advantage. Motivated by the [[Regulan Fiefs|Regulan Fiefs']] duplicitous attempts to sabotage the Commonality's ties with nearby unaligned worlds, he ordered Force Commander [[Alethea Chowla (32nd c.)|Alethea Chowla]] to take the [[1st Rim Commonality Guard|Defenders]] on a goodwill mission to Westover, expose the Regulan plot, and offer them a defense treaty.<ref name=TRtCc25>''To Ride the Chimera'', ch. 25</ref> The gambit paid off and Westover became the first of several unaligned worlds to join the Rim Commonality.<ref name=TRtCc34/>

He married [[Elis Halas-Hughes]] on 14 August 3138<ref name=TRtCc46>''To Ride the Chimera'', ch. 46</ref>, and by July [[3139]] the couple would be expecting their first child.<ref name=TRtCc59>''To Ride the Chimera'', ch. 59</ref> An attempted assassination by [[Ayza Aborisha]] was foiled by [[Philip Hughes]] and [[Frederick Marik (32nd c.)|Frederick Marik]].<ref name=TRtCc56-57>''To Ride the Chimera'', ch. 56-57</ref>

Cendar would bring the Rim Commonality into the reborn Free Worlds League and contributed the First Rim Commonality Guard to [[Operation HOMECOMING]].<ref>''Field Manual:3145''. p. 106, "First Rim Commonality Guard"</ref>

In [[3151]] and [[3152]], Cendar appreciated the addition of Regulan troops to his realm's security, but both he and Elise Marik supported [[Fontaine Marik|Fontaine Marik's]] unauthorized war with the [[Marian Hegemony]] and believed it should have continued until the Hegemony's long-standing threat to their nation was eradicated.<ref>''Empire Alone'', p. 84</ref>
