I am but a humble outcast, son of son, child of child. For generations my family had lived on our glorious world until y father took it upon himself to seek new fortunes and fates within the sector. When I was but a young boy we set from Malta and made for fringe worlds. We were greeted with great success at first, good money on the free ports you know? My father was happy, my was pleased. I was content; however as with life and its unfortunate way of emulating the twisting body of a serpent all was struck into chaos. While en route for Freeport 10, not far from the home of all Outcasts were befallen, a Corsair raid was in progress. We were targeted immediately. Our transport was badly damaged, the hull ruptured, shields inoperable.
I recall the horrific cracking and splintering noise as the forward section decompressed, my father along with it. My mother, she scrambled to launch me into the only remaining life pod. She succeeded but at the cost of her own life, I remember crying for days as I drifted through the solar tides of the system until I was finally rescued by an IMG patrol. My body was weak and frail, my nerves shot; everything was a dream, but not a dream. My next visions were of the burnt orange skies of my homeland, of Malta. I now reside here once more but I seek to protect this land, this world so that all children of Malta may live without fear of raid or murder, with family and friend together in happiness. I seek now employ in the service of the [202nd] Howling Spirits: Malta Assault Squadron. Please Commander, consider me for this position, I seek only to protect our kin, and wreak vengeance unto out enemies.
