Born in a slum on Homeland, I lost my parents in a mine collapse when I was young. At first I was in an orphange, but I was living on the street by 15. That's when I met someone spreading the word of Utopia. I was willing to do pretty much anything to escape the slums, so I stowed away. Found myself in Khowahing. It was basically paradise, everything I needed was given to me. I wanted to give back, protect the community that saved me from a life of poverty. So when I came of age, I trained to become a pilot in the Polvenic militia.
Utopia doesn't have a formal military, so to better advance the cause and defense of my home without being constrained to my home system I joined the pilots federation as an 'independent' Commander.
