I'm commander aljaz77, I started my career when I got my pilots federation license in November 3306. I started out as all new pilots mindlessly learning to fly and build my reputation in the galaxy. Most of my time as new pilot was spent doing that currier missions and cargo delivery's, when I managed to get myself some credits I purchased my first bigger ship a phthon, and then I was set on getting a rank in the empire, I preferred federation but I liked the imperial ships, specially the cutter and clipper, when completing missions for the empire I stumbled upon a commander, he had a combat outfitted ship and we talked a bit, he told me about missions to massacre pirates and get lots of money, and that moment changed my career from a new trader to a combat pilot, I would consider this one of the most important things to happen to me in the galaxy I was introduced to the wing function and quickly made lots of friends, to make money and have fun with. And then when I made enough to fully outfit my python I had my eyes set on the guardian tech, I purchased a fuel scoop and headed for the stars, I made it to the guardian site, the locations of it I have learned from other commanders. I have a arrived there and after some time in an srv I got everything, the route back should have Ben simple but turned out to be a bit more complicated.
About 100ly from the bubble I target the next system in route and prepare to engage the frame shift drive, when I saw something I only had nightmares about "cannot comply, insufficient fuel" my fuel tank was almost empty and I wasn't able to leave the system, I was stranded with an class T star, when I thought all the hope was lost and I was prepared to he'd for the escape pod, it dawned on me, fuelrats, that group of commanders that rescued many commanders across the bubble and beyond. I hurry to the coms panel and join their network in about 2 min there were 2 asp explorers in front of me, and fuel limpets hurtling to my cargo hatch, I thanked them and asked what do I own them, they said it's free and gave me some tips on how to avoid these incidents in the future, but at that point I knew I had to return the favor. After getting back safely I purchased my asp explorer and outfitted it for maximum jump range with fuel transfer limpets and went on the way, after joining their group, reading the SOP, and doing some training I finaly "earned my tail" as they say. I helped them day and night, learning from them and performing lots of rescues myself and I don't plan on quiting any time soon, after some time doing combat missions and making myself over 4b credits I purchased a krait phantom, I had my eyes set on the stars, I made my way to Colonia then Sagittarius a and beagle point, stoping at Sagittarius a on the way back and to the bubble I go. But soon space called me again. This time I wanted to go to Colonia, not to visit but to stay for longer and I did for some months and it was a pleasure, I purchased a fdl and it remains my combat ship in colonia, one day I experimented with ships and when flying about I saw a t-9 in supercruise, after a chat in the dm's I have learned she has a squadron and it's own fleet carrier, she I introduced me to some of her friends which I got along with very nicely, one of them was in colonia as well and we did massacre missions often, I was invited to joing them and I gladly did, they revealed their plans to come back to the bubble with the fleet carrier. But first we needed some tritium for it, which we mined and soon the tank was full. We have also met some new friends in teh meantime and eventually all of them joing as well, and now with 4.8b credits on my name and explorer rank pioneer I made a last visit to Sagittarius a and left colonia, which I was kinda sad about. But I knew it will be a new adventure with the windrunner squadron.
After we arrived I claimed some rewards that 2 of our friends made when we were in colonia, with all the credits that I could want, I made a decision to purchase my own drake class carrier, and after outfitting it I purchased an imperial cutter and krait 2 both outfitted for combat. My story for most of the part isn't special in fact a lot of commanders achieve more than me, but it's my story and my career and I'm proud of it, but you know, it's now over yet, and I believe me and my friend have lots of adventures and chalanges in front of us.
