Background:
Kurt was born on Epsilon Eridani, a system renowned for its stunning nebulae and bustling spaceports. Growing up in a family of traders, Kurt was surrounded by tales of adventure and the thrill of interstellar commerce. He dreamed of exploring distant worlds and uncovering the mysteries of the universe from a young age.

Early Life:
Fascinated by space travel, Kurt trained as a pilot and engineer, earning his license by the age of 17. He joined his family’s trading fleet, making deliveries across various systems. Kurt was ambitious and eager, but his adventurous spirit often led him into trouble as he sought excitement beyond the confines of routine trading.

Turning Point:
Kurt's life took a dramatic turn during a routine trade mission. After a sudden attack by space pirates, his ship was severely damaged. In the chaos, a violent explosion knocked him unconscious. When he awoke, he found himself drifting alone in an escape pod, with no memory of who he was or how he had gotten there.

Current Status:
Now, with fragments of his past lost in the void, Kurt has adopted the nickname “Starry Haze.” Starting from nothing, he was given a Sidewinder on loan by an unknown benefactor. With only the most basic equipment, he navigates the galaxy, determined to forge a new identity for himself. Taking on odd jobs—from bounty hunting to trading—he aims to make a name for himself in the galaxy. His journey begins at Chamberlain’s Rest, a well-known starting point for many new pilots in the galaxy. It’s a busy hub where novice commanders take their first steps into spacefaring life, learning the ropes before venturing into the wider galaxy.

While Chamberlain’s Rest lacks the thrill and adventure Haze seeks, it provides the foundation he needs to rebuild his life. He quickly adapts to the bustling atmosphere, taking on small contracts to gather resources and upgrade his ship. With each job completed, Haze inches closer to the larger goals he has set for himself.

Personality:
Commander Starry Haze is introspective, resourceful, and optimistic. He approaches life with a blend of curiosity and determination, focusing on creating a new future rather than dwelling on his past. While he may not remember who he was, he embraces his second chance and is often drawn to help those in need, finding fulfillment in acts of kindness. His journey through the stars has made him resilient, and he is eager to discover what lies ahead.

Goals and Aspirations:
Commander Starry Haze's primary goal is to build a new life and reputation among the stars. He explores forgotten systems and ancient ruins, intrigued by the mysteries of the galaxy, including alien artifacts and ancient civilizations. However, as he ventures deeper into uncharted space, whispers of an impending era of human expansion into new frontiers begin to surface. Talk of Odyssey, a groundbreaking initiative that will allow commanders to explore planets on foot, reaches Haze’s ears, stirring his curiosity.

Prelude to Odyssey:
While visiting a remote outpost near the fringes of human space, Commander Starry Haze comes across a cryptic transmission mentioning something called the “Odyssey Project.” The message hints at the development of advanced suits and technology that will allow humans to venture beyond their ships, explore alien worlds on foot, and engage in on-ground missions. Intrigued and eager to be part of this new era, Starry Haze sets his sights on joining the ranks of those who will pioneer this next step in humanity’s journey.

As preparations for the Odyssey Project accelerate, Starry Haze realizes that his journey—both personal and galactic—has only just begun. With new horizons on the brink of discovery, he feels a deep connection to the unknown, and a sense that his story, like the stars themselves, is far from over.
