Name: Adam Carter
Age: 22
P.O.B: Liverpool station, Britonia

As a small child Adam would go out with his father on trade runs from Leeds to New York selling Boron and Burillyum for the BMM. It was an eye opener for the young boy to see so many people and places and from that age all's he wanted to do was take up him own ship and explore the Sector. At the age of 15 as a deck hand on his first ship the Hyperion, he got friendly with the Captians daughter and with his pomission they moved into one of the cabins over from the Midshipmens quarters. Adam had never seen a cabin so big and soon found that as much as the captian liked him the other spacemen scorned him as a suck up and after serveal fights in the mess he was moved to a small fighter on escort duty. After 4 years of escort duty a man from the BAF came up to him asking if he would serve his people to fight the evil Kasuri who had just started war with Britonia. Looking at the pay and ship he would get he quicky took up the offer and left the BMM, Marline, now his wife had moved from the Hyperion to New London to a small house just outside the city centre.

Britonian War: July 13th 814 as

As a fighter pilot Adam soon found that his skills were vastly better than most of the other pilots drafted in from all over Britonia and soon found himself as a wing commander of 8 ships. After serveal small victories in Tau 31 and taking down 24 ships, Adam was moved to Post rank aboard the HMS Sparrow, it was only a small Gun Boat but still his first command and he took every chance he got to prove his rank. Sadly in a ambush in Tau 31 later that year his ship was destroyed and only himself and four other members of the crew got out in time. He was taken to a Prison facility and held there for 2 years with no contact with the outside world, Slowly going mad he kept saying to himself "your strong you can make it, don't lets the bastards bring you down."
In 815 a.s he was traded for a captian the britonians had cought and released, it must have been the happiest day of his life to return home to his wife and see his men again. But not everythink was how he had left it, on his return to New London he found that Britonia where losing the war and more and more people where dying everyday and when he got home he found his wife had also moved on and re married to a wealthy Tradesman.

Now he was alone with knowone to love knowone to come home to and further more the Britonians had released him from his duties pending a full phycoanalisis report. He spent his days in the bar drinking his sorrows away till heard he was honourbly released from from the BAF, with nothing to stay for and nothing to live for he took his small ship the Navy had issused him and took it into space, with his sidearm on his lap he moved his ship away from the planet and looked at the gun on his lap, taking it up his hands trembled and tears in his eyes he cocked the pistol and put the end in his mouth just waiting for his life to end he just sat there taking this new feeling of nothingness in. The over the comms came a voice so sweet and so young. "Please help me! anybody?, I have lost all engins and drifting into the sun.......Can anyone here me?" At this Adam pulled the gun from his mouth and turned his ship around heading to the sun. His forehead streaming with sweat he plungged into the blazing heat to get a tractor onto the ship. Pulling it to safety he landed at New London and rushed to the ship calling for medical staff to assist him, pulling the broken form from the cockpit he lay her down on the floor and checked her over, she seemed to be alive but he could not be sure, her life was seeping away as medical staff drew her away to the intesive care ward. Not knowing who this girl was Adam headed to the ward to stay by her side till she either woke or passed away.

After making a full recovery Gemma found Adam sitting next to her reading chapter 41 of War and Peace. "Not the best of books is it" she said taking Adam by suprise "my father used to read to me when I was sick claiming it was so long and boring that it would wake even the dead just to get away from it" " and it still seems to be workling i see." They both burst into laughter at this, he put the book down " so what do i call you then?" "My name is Gemma....Gemma Biddings, and who may you be my knight in shining armour?" " I'm Carter.....Adam sorry" " oh a miliary man then?" " former Navy man" " oh i see."

After months of talking Gemma got better and finaly able to leave hospital she left with Adam to start thier new life in the world outside war and terror. Finaly making a home in Manhattan, Gemma got a job on Newark station looking into alien orgs and Adam went out to seach for a job of his own

March 8th 816 as:

Adam has now started a life in Liberty in the LSF and has a bright future ahead of him, new friends and a new woman in his life, he still loves to fly and fight the enemy and though his enemies have different faces they are his enemy now all the same.

May 17th 816 as:

Adam is now a fully active member of the LSF having now gained his Agent rank and is working towards more distiction within the LSF after several drug busts and a no room on his cockpit left to mark the ships he has layed to waste. Within this new group he has found friends and some enemies but that was expected from his line of work, all those years in the war have made him a hard man when he needs to be and knowing just what his commanding officer wants from the new recruits he pushes them harder than ever.Adam has found the beautiful Gemma Bidding the blessing of his life and have moved in together in a small place above the local market in Bromborough, a small town 50 miles outside Manhattans busy centre. He has finaly ley the memory of the pain that Merline had coursed him and has moved on, maybe they would meet again as he offten has contact with here new husband who trades within Libery, maybe the man will be stupid enough to trade with Rhineland and Liberty and then Adam would have him. The mans name is Gaynus of the ship Endeavor a small ship but still making enough to live in relative comfort.
Enough about his past as the future is looking brighter than ever for Adam now that he is in the LSF and working hard he is making a name for himself in the Liberty systems and has even attended several dinners with President Powell and could even say that he has the ear of the great man, not in the sence of politics but in away that could get him a nice job if he ever needed it.
In other news Adams father has moved the family to Pittsburg with his new business set up there and his younger brother Edger has been given command of one of the smaller ships trading all the way into the some of the less known places, there is something about Edger that gets to Adam he doesn't know what it is but theres something nagging in the back of his mind about what that young man is doing but still he is his brother and there are worse people out there now anyway.

June 13th 816 as:

Adam after his 4 months in LSF has been given command of a small undercover wing in the Minors looking into the Order threat that is on the increase there and also the Artifact smuggling that passes through that system. He has already seen some strange things in this system and the other systems around it, he had been at the bar on the planet Toledo in the minor system to meet up with his informer for the list of names of Smugglers entering this system. To his amazment the list was extensive with over 20 names on the list one being to his pleasure Gaynus. He thought to himself that that man would be watched carefully from now on if he could get him then that would be a happy day for him.
As he scrolled down the list he came across and name he had hoped he wouln't it was his brothers Edgers as he looked at the name a sence of panic came across him, he thanked the man for the list and left to Delta to Freeport 11 to make his report to LSF. On his way he just kept thinking how this new information would effect his life, if LSF got wind of the news that his own brother was smuggling into Libery space their trust in his ablilties would soon deminish and could even end his career in the LSF. With that in mind he took up the data pad and scrolled down to his brothers name a removed it from the list." if they find this out.....I'm a dead man" he said to himself.

On arrival on Freeport 11 he made his way to the bar to meet up with the LSF officer, taking a seat at a small table in the corner he ordered himself an ale and waited for his contact to get here. Thinking to himself "nothing can go wrong, nothing can go wrong, nothing can go wrong." Looking up he seen his contact make his way to the bar to get a drink and make his way over to Adams table, taking a seat they greeted each other and began the debrifing, "so" the LSF officer said "what do you have for me this time pilot?" " well sir " he said as he slid the data pad over the table " it would seem that we have more smuggling passing through this system than we thought. The officer glanced and the data pad and slipped it into his pocket. "anyone of intrest on there?" "There is one man i think we can take a look at, sir" Adam said " oh really, and who would that be then pilot?" The officer said with his eyebrows raised " yes sir, this Gaynus Kelly, not only is he a former Molly pilot hes managed to worm his way into BMM and Gateway tarding companies and hes pretty high up in both of them. Also i've noticed that some of the other names on this list are also working for BMM and Gateway, but their not in the company ships they are all in private trading ships" " Hmm very interesting, i'm sure the BAF and the QCRF will love to have a look at this then" the Officer said " Yes sir, i'm sure they would" " well if thats it pilot i'll be on my way" The officer said as he got up from his seat " Yes sir that seems to be it for now...oh there was was more thing" Adam said remembering something he had heard on the Isis a few days ago. " Yes? Well what is is pilot spit it out i'm a busy man" he said sitting back down " well sir its just that i was talking with a man the other day and it seems that the Order are stopping their attacks into Nomad space and are bringing more ships into the Minor systems, and as i'm sure you know they are stepping up there attacks into" Adam looked around to see if they where being watched " Alaska, could this mean what i think it means Sir?" " Hmm it could well mean that they plan on taking Alaska for themselves" At this the officer got up and started to walk away " Well done see you in two weeks....Mate". Adam started breathing heavery as if he had been holding his breth the whole time. " Well i got away with that one." Adam got up and walked back to his ship.
