I was born aboard the Azeban City starport to Maurice and Svetlana Lacson, both trade pilots. My father is Earthborn, and my mother is a spacer like me, born and raised aboard Patterson Enterprise in the Sirius system. They met after my father ran out of fuel while fleeing pirates, and she answered his distress call. She followed him to Patterson and they hit it off over drinks. About two years later I was born.

I've wanted to be a pilot since I was a kid sitting in the copilot's seat and watching my dad fly while my mom took a nap in the back of the ship. My parents fronted me the cash for my first Sidewinder for my birthday in 3304, and I took my first flight in February 3305. Following the advice of noteworthy CMDRs such as Exigeous, Vindicator Jones, and Obsidian Ant, I graduated to the Adder for trade and the Viper Mk III for combat. I quickly moved from the Adder to a Cobra Mk III, which I still have to this day. I did trade jobs until I could afford an Asp Explorer, at which point I left the Bubble for Maia and returned with a hold full of Meta-Alloys. From there I kept networking with engineers, upgrading ships and purchasing new ones, and selling void opals to cover my expenses. Once I had a rapport with enough engineers I started branching out further into combat. I upgrade to a Vulture first, followed by a Chieftain, which took me six months to engineer fully. After tens of hours and hundreds of millions of credits in bounty vouchers, I decided to try out a Fer-de-Lance, which I absolutely love.

When the Thargoids attacked Dahan Gateway, my first home station after I left Azeban City, Nicole Wolff, my best friend since childhood, suggested I reach out to the Anti-Xeno Initiative and see if I could help take some of the bugs out. I lost friends in that attack, so I contacted the AXI and asked them for pointers. They gave me a shopping list. I spent the next year putting together a fully engineered Krait Mk II according to their specs, and I took her out on her maiden flight on 19 July, 3308. I don't foresee myself becoming an xeno hunter for my primary career going forward, but I can say for damn sure that I will answer the call whenever the AXI coordinates a combat operation.
