Summary of Biography: Born on Planet Los Angeles, Shane learned to pilot large craft from his father at a relatively young age, but didn't begin to take his career choices seriously until he got married and discovered his wife was pregnant.
After spending a good deal of time chasing contracts and searching for work as a freelance transport/escort pilot, he finally began working as an unofficial Universal Shipping owner/operator. Shane quickly grew to enjoy being a part of USI's trade convoys, and soon began flying alongside USI employees regularly; he was hired into the Department of Trade soon after.
Over time, his skills were utilized more and more within the Department of Security, and he steadily climbed through the ranks until he was appointed CSO following the former CSO's formal resignation. Shane led several paramilitary operations against Rheinland-affiliated factions during his tenure as CSO in support of Liberty Naval forces, which didn't gain him any friends in Rheinland.
It was only a matter of time before the price on his head grew large enough for action to be taken against him.
Shane's battle-worn Wasupu's communications system was electronically hijacked by an unknown party, and he received a fake distress call from the California system which appeared to be from his father. Unable to call for support, he investigated the distress call alone; he was ambushed, his ship destroyed, and he was taken into custody.
Years later, following a period of destabilization in which Rheinland destroyed the Bering and Hudson Jumpgates leading into Hamburg, the prison was attacked by Rheinland Military units. Shane was able to escape captivity and carefully made his way back home.
After being reunited with his family and spending some time recuperating from his time in captivity, Shane has begun trying to get his life back on track, to achieve a sense of normalcy if nothing else.
