My folks were in the business, which in Synteini, meant buying and selling slaves. It's good for making credits, but not the excitement a young fella craves. I signed up for the Imperial Navy, wanted to make my own way in the galaxy, make it a safer place too. You could call it a need to prove myself, not just jump right into a boring sinecure. I mostly flew data transports around the Mainani-Ngalinn routes in an imperial courier, and let me tell ya I got into more than a couple dogfights out there. You've heard already how I got drummed out early. Full honors though mind you, and I've been doing just fine, reaping in profits, and taking up the family mantle. I made my first hundred mill doing the Robigo-Sothis tourist run for petty crooks, and hunting sidewinders near Ohm City. Blew through it all on modules in in Somayaji Terminal though, so I'm available for hire if you got a job.
