Growing up on the breathable world Ehecatl A 7, Henry had a rather advantaged start in life compared to many in the galaxy. His early years was in his mother's Oceanic Agriculture business, until he learned to fly.
After a matter of months learning, Henry was licensed on the family's Keelback (leased from the EG Union), under the strict flight zone of from the planet's surface, to Ivanishin Market in local orbit to offload the algae produced from the family's enterprise. The exhilaration of breaking the atmosphere each time was like a hit of onionhead, yet he wanted more. After months of pleading to leave to his parents, an application was sent to the Pilot's Federation. One short Apex trip to Dromi later, and he was enrolled! (And thankful to be in a ship not stinking of algae exports!)
Once successfully a commander, Stocto settled down in AY Indi. Close enough to home to stop by, but in a Pilot's Federation-owned station, to stay out the mess of politics that plagued the galaxy. In a few years he'd amassed a small fleet of ships, and was just saving up for his own carrier to keep them on - a dream achieved on 2^nd June 3309, with the purchase of V1N-69F Tân y Gwin from proceeds of the now-ended Booze Cruise - where the vessel's name sprung from. (From the ancient Welsh language, which Henry has ancestry in, Tân y Gwin means "The Wine's Fire," the principle commodity of the Booze Cruise.)
Since reaching this career milestone, Stocto has come home to Ehecatl with his carrier in orbit, and has turned his sights on the political factions at home. A federal pilot in an imperial system certainly has his work cut out...
