Father was a combat pilot for the federation.  His father had an excellent career until a combat death in the battle of Lugh.  The details of his death were under secrecy and never known to the rest of the family.  

As a teenager, Dak was raised by his widowed mother.  Money was tight, but his mother managed.  They were living in one of the poorer communities.  Dak had troubled teenage years, not trusting authority or the government.

As he was hitting adulthood, his mother past away during a plague that hit the area.  Since, he lived in a poorer community; Medicine was delivered to their community as the last priority.  After watching his mother past away, he knew he’ll be alone with no family to help him.  He needed to take care of himself.

With basic flight skills, he took up trade routes in some of the outlying anarchy systems to make a living.  With no laws and security protection, he had to learn how to deal with pirates.  He did a few smuggling jobs as they came up for some extra speeding money.  He enjoyed well-aged liquors as a reward to himself and it helped to relieve some of the emotional scars of his past.

As his flight skills improved and his loyalty and trust proven to a local faction, he took on an assassination mission.  He was hired to take out a key gangster.  The gangster was ruthless and killed anyone that got in way of his ambitions.  

Dak sneaked on board of the gangster’s ship while docked.  The ships destination was to the gangster’s headquarters.  He patiently planted a bomb next to the reactor and waited for opportunity time to escape and activate the bomb.  The gangster’s transport ship was escorted by 2 fighters.  An escape pod in deep space would mean certain death for him.  So, he waited till it was close to docking to the gangster’s starport and headquarters.  As they entered, the starport, Dak saw his opportunity.  He got in an escape pod and launched before anyone on the ship knew what was going on.  His escape pod, nearly collided with a Type-9 following the Gangster’s ship.  Unknowingly, the Type-9 was fully loaded with Illegal chemicals.  Dak detonated the bomb.  Firstly, exploding the Gangster’s ship, then the following Type-9 exploded as well.   The illegal chemical’s caused a devastating shockwave in the spaceport; causing it to break apart and split into 3 major pieces.  Many lives were lost, some innocent, some aligned with this gangster.  
With such an event, the starports close to the event were brought into internal wars.  The area was brought into chaos.  

Dak made it back to retrieve his reward.  However, he was greeted with a gun to his head.  “You brought more chaos to the system!  However, you did kill my main enemy.  You have 24 hours to make an exodus from this system before I put a 10 million CR bounty on your head.”

Dak "Hexodus" K'thwell  took his ship which is his home and left.

With little money on hand, he looked for some mercenary work.  While docked at an outpost, in the local pub, he overheard a group called the “Ghost Squadron”…
