Hello I´m Little Levnik aka Cmdr Mc.G (G stands for Gopnik because of my interest in old Russian culture).
I was born in Ehrlich City on Mercury and had a pretty influential family. My parents both worked as high ranking figures in the Federal Navy of Sol, so it was expected from me to follow in their footsteps once I turned 18. I was in the Navy for almost 7 years and due to my family's influence and my exemplary service record in leadership and combat roles, I quickly rose through the ranks until finally reaching the rank of admiral. Shortly after that, I got wounded in an attack by a faction known as Civitas Dei. My injuries were treated with cyborg technology (I'm 19% Robot) but as a result of my injuries, I was medically discharged from the Federal Navy. Without a job and enough money I quickly became depressed to the point at which I thought that I would never find a job again.

By that time I had grown immense hate on those Civitas bastards that ruined my life. I saw my last hope in the immigration to the Empire, to work there as a slave. For the next 2 years, I worked in the asteroid fields of Hip 33390 and had my "home" in the Nikitin Penal Colony, which was located in the same system. After I slowly worked my way up I got the opportunity to join the local navy forces. I accepted and quickly climbed the ranks in the Imperial Navy (which was relatively easy, due to the combat experience I gained in the Federal Navy). 5 years later I made it to the rank of duke and was finally able to afford myself the ticket to freedom.

After I gained my freedom I spent almost all the Credits I had left on an old Sidewinder. Shortly after this, I met a group of freedom fighters that were in conflict with Civitas Dei. They called themselves Knights of the Empire and had their HQ pretty close to Hip 33390. In hope of revenge on Civitas, I joined the Knights and quickly became good friends with some of their members. I was around 33 by then and as another year passed the conflict with Civitas escalated into a full-scale war. After some more time had passed, the Knights have decided to defect to the Federation, because of lacking support from the Empire. Despite me missing the Empire, it felt really good to be back in my home region. From then on we called ourselves Knights of the Earth. Over the past years, Civitas has disappeared into the shadows and the war between the Knights and them has gone cold.

After countless years of combat, I grew weary of fighting against Civitas Dei and decided to try my hand in many other fields ranging from Thargoid hunting to Passenger missions. But even though I had a lot of fun trying new things out, I never really found the right occupation for me.

Recently, I made the decision to sell my old ship and invest every credit I had in one of the new Mandalay-class explorers. I named her Laika III, as a tribute to the spirit of exploration. Now, I’m out there, either charting unknown stars and planets or running courier missions for the Knights and their allies. In the quiet of space, I’ve finally found the freedom to roam on my own terms, with only the vast universe ahead of me.


Meet you in the Void Cmdr!
