Hefian Halosi was born and raised in New Atlantis, the bustling capital city of the United Colonies (UC) on the planet Jemison in the Alpha Centauri system. His father, Jarek Halosi, was a respected trader who conducted business throughout the UC, dealing in exotic goods and essential supplies. His mother, Elara Halosi, hailed from the outskirts of Akila City on the planet Akila, where she worked as a farmer, growing and supplying fresh produce to nearby settlements.

Growing up in New Atlantis, Hefian was exposed to a blend of urban sophistication and rustic simplicity. His father's stories of interstellar trade routes and his mother's tales of life on the farm instilled in him a unique perspective on the galaxy. Hefian excelled in school, particularly in subjects like astroscience and engineering, while also learning practical skills from his mother during their visits to Akila.


The incident

Hefian's life took a pivotal turn during a routine trading trip with his father. Their vessel was ambushed by a group of ruthless spacers—interstellar pirates who preyed on unsuspecting traders. The spacers boarded their ship, and Hefian witnessed firsthand the violence and chaos they brought. His father bravely defended their cargo, but the spacers' attack left a lasting impression on young Hefian. The experience ignited a fierce determination in him to protect others from such dangers.


Career in the military

Motivated by this personal encounter with the spacers, Hefian decided to join the UC Marines, an elite military unit known for its rigorous training and high-stakes missions. His assignments ranged from safeguarding critical trade routes to engaging in direct combat with spacer factions. Hefian's tactical brilliance and unwavering resolve earned him several commendations and a reputation as a formidable soldier.


The calling

While Hefian's military career was marked by success, his experiences fueled a desire to explore the unknown and help those in need. Transferring to the Constellation, Hefian embraced a new role that combined his military expertise with his innate curiosity and compassion. He embarked on missions to chart uncharted territories, recover lost artifacts, and provide aid to isolated colonies.
