I served in the Federal Navy for 30 years as a Senior Acoustic Signal Specialist and achieved the Rank of Chief Petty Officer. I spent most my time out of the bubble searching for Acoustic Signals, which were used to track down pirates and mercenaries, and pretty much anyone that the Navy thought they could put their hands on.
After leaving the Naval Service I went into Long Haul Courier Operations and I managed to build up a fleet of ships to operate in most environments, and cater for most mission types.
I spent some time out of the bubble in deep space just to get away from it all, and when I returned to the bubble I joined the Galactic Freedom Fighters Squadron. Now a group of us help new pilots learn their trade, assigned as a specialist in Mining Operations by our Squadron Commander, and with the help of other squadron commanders we teach new commanders how to mine.
