Biographical Segment:My father was a fire control engineer on a Liberty Battlecruiser, but he didn't talk about it much. Growing up, I always thought he was some kind of firefighter until he smacked me on the back of the head when he heard me tell that to a friend. So, I didn't really know much about the Navy, but I sure saw Uncle Tom's transport ship a lot, with its gun turrets and flashing lights. That sort of thing is really impressive to a kid. I grew up dreaming of flying my own ship through the tradelanes just like him.
So, that's what I did. As soon as I turned 18 I signed on with a small shipping company on Planet L.A. That year, the war with Rheinland started, which was when I began considering joining the Navy. My long-time girlfriend told me she was pregnant and forbade me to enlist, however, so I stuck to my tradelanes but I kept an eye on the news comms. This didn't please the old man very much; he wanted me to go to the academy, and join the Navy like he did. But it sure made him happy when I tied the knot and gave him a couple grandkids. So, for the next 5 years, I flew the tradelanes just like Uncle Tom.
We moved out to Planet Denver last year after my daughter was born, bought a nice little place with lots of land. I signed on with a small shipping company based in the Colorado system that operated solely within Liberty space, which was great because I could be home every day instead of being gone for days on end.
My wife bought tickets to board a liner bound for Planet L.A. and took the kids to visit their grandparents, but the ship never docked at its destination. LPI investigated and found traces of a distress call in the New York system, but the wreckage was never located. They suspect pirates were the culprit, but said the liner may have run afoul of some sort of foreign military operation. I guess I'll never know.
You might argue that I'm just here out of some desire for vengeance, but honestly I'd just like to be the man my pops always wanted me to be, and do my part to make sure nobody else loses their family to criminals like I did.
