Dr. Elias Carver was a political sociologist, known for producing a set of theories called the "Carver Findings," first published in 2491. The findings included an algorithm which predicted a breakdown of social order in the Outer Colonies. Carver recommended strict government control be established, reinforced by an immediate and permanent military presence. Carver's predictions would prove shockingly accurate as the Insurrection broke out in 2494. In 2509 Carver committed suicide, believing that by predicting the Insurrection, he had in fact caused it.
