After leaving his home-world as a stowaway on a Type-7 aged 18, Varlo initially sought the life of a non-political and mundane trader pilot. This was the case for 4 years when at 19, he purchased a meagre sidewinder hopping from system to system offering his cargo hold to any faction who paid him. This all changed when he was ambushed by pirates in the Dromi system and 2 combat-savvy commanders came to his aid. Inspired, Varlo joined them, learning all he could. The contracts came, with their juicy rewards, and of course, their politics. Whilst pledging himself to the Federation, the trio embraced their own endeavours and Nowadays, Varlo holds the rank of Rear Admiral within the Federal Navy, commanding a Nautilus-Class fleet carrier, The Prometheus, assisting newly qualified commanders in the hope of spreading ideals of support and teamwork in a galaxy that is increasingly ravaged by conflict and war.
