Biography:
Hello there. Arlus Relketh, at your service. Born and bred in Planet Manhattan's grimy depths. I had to fight my way up through the muck, dirt, and sleeping drunkards to get anywhere. My parents weren't there by choice, of course - my father had been laid off from his job at Ageira Technologies and my mother died when a freighter's engine failed and caused the ship to plummet, crushing the restaurant she was working in at the time. Our income was pitifully low, so I had to go out and make it for myself. Space had always appealed to me - my father promised me a visit one day, but we could never afford it. Fast forward ten years, a steady job at a bar and a few lucky breaks, and I was 18 - old enough to get a ship of my own! Just a regular 750AE Starflier, you know, but it got me up there, into the vast depths of Sirius.
Space was amazing. Hell, it still is. I got a contract with DSE to pilot their freighters and cargo trains. A few close calls and pirate kills later, and I was moved to escort duty - turns out protecting was my forté! (I know some Gallian, see?!) However, this soon got boring - there's only so many pirates you can comply with (company policy, you know how it is...) before you want to do something about it! I've always admired the Liberty Navy - they've saved my sorry behind a few times, to say the least! So, with the money I'd earned, I left DSE and bought myself a combat-capable CSV, outfitted with some pretty sweet weaponry. I began assisting where I could - protecting trade lanes now and again, helping out the new spacegoers too - and only last night took part in defending Manhattan from a Rogue attack involving several gunboats and bombers - notably The.Gold.Cannon, who decimated several Liberty Navy vessels! My ship was downed during the conflict, unfortunately, but she's repaired and ready to fly again - to serve the Liberty Navy in protecting Liberty, her people, her ships and her stations from those that would seek to ruin her glory.
