Current nationality: --- None (Independent Miners' Guild)
Personal background: ---
Sirius has always been filled with stories of heroes and extraordinary individuals accomplishing the seemingly impossible and becoming legends among the stars.
Scarpia Purcenna is not one of those extraordinarily gifted people.
Born and raised on Camp Lister under the confederate IMG, Scarpia lived a simple life - not knowing of House laws, or of the major conflicts that raged across Sirius (even the Gallic occupation of the Taus only minimally affected her in Coronado; she'd only heard stories). Most of her life had been spent working the water collectors on Pecos, and experience on ships was minimal, save for the occasional apprenticeship to one of the more veteran miners during mining or trade expeditions to the Taus or elsewhere in the independent worlds. She lived a happy, quiet life as a daughter of the Independent Miners Guild, but somehow always yearned for more - stories from Freelancers, Zoners and traders would always pique her interest, as did space travel.
Everything changed when a trade convoy she was on encountered a small wing of ships from the Crayter Republic. The IMG convoy agreed to let two Crayterian pilots aboard after they two had showed signs of radiation poisining, and the IMG's large transports had the medical bays for immediate treatment. There she first learned of Crayter, and has not been able to stop thinking about them since.
Military/Para-military background: --- None; only theoretical knowledge. She's only 19.
Combat skills: ---

If I have to start out as a Mover, that's fine, but I know one day you'll see like me that I really have to be here."

They had their own laws, but for some reason still struggle to find a home. I guess growing up in the IMG made that relatable to me. One of their pilots told me I could be a pilot for the Republic when he came aboard our Shishapangma a year ago. I've never forgotten that, and now I want to see if he was right, or I was just dreaming this whole time. But wouldn't that be so cool?
Lister's not going anywhere, and I can still visit during my free time, right? Besides, we need more people standing up for the little people. I have lots of family in Coronado and a few in Tau-31 and 23. You gotta' let me fly for you guys."
