Born on June 15th, 3268 to Doris and Ray Sanford Sr., Ray Jr was an ambitious young boy. Often accompanying his father, the 33rd generation proprietor of Sanford's Salvage & Transport, he took to the family business like a duck to water. Established on Sol in 1972 by Fred Sanford, Sanford's S&T has been providing reliable service for over 1330 years, and is well known throughout both the Federation and the Empire. In late 3303 Ray received his pilots license and officially took over as head of the business. Sitting down in the CMDRs seat occupied by his father for so many years it was now time for him to step out into the black, build his own legacy, and carry on the Sanford family tradition.
