A native of Earth, born and raised on the island of Great Britain in the North European trade zone. Registered officially with the Pilots Federation in 3305. His family background revolved largely around agricultural projects due to the heavily subsidised income from Federal Agricultural Authorities for organic Earth-based produce consumed amongst the Sol System's middle classes. Alex viewed this as a wasted existence, he worked mostly for his father flying a light recon skimmer across their farming operation and getting a feel for the basics of flight. And it was this experience that put him on the path to registering with the Pilot's Federation. Registering in 3305, it was the surge of activity in the Bubble in the wake of alien encounters and a galaxy wide boom in exploration and trade that spurred Alex to begin his contribution to galactic history.
