Who are you?://Arden "Maeden" Vosk // Age 43 human years
Where are you from?:Strausberg-Kassel Debris Field
What is your story?:You know how most people are born in hospitals? Yeah, well, I was born in the cargo bay of a beat-up Salvager, in deep orbit of some half-forgotten Rheinland scrapyard. My parents? Junkers to the bone. My crib a stripped-down reactor core stuffed with rags.
Our crew just one Salvager frigate and a gaggle of leaky CSVs headed out on a grand, noble mission:
to set up a salvage yard in a debris field so ancient, it probably predates house politics.
It was nestled in a forgotten pocket of Border Worlds between Liberty and Rheinland. We thought we hit the jackpot.
Until the Xenos showed up.
They didn’t show up to talk. They didn’t show up to steal.
They showed up to scream "GET OFF OUR LAWN" through open comms and start vaporizing CSVs like they were playing a biggot version of Space Invaders.
“Filthy border-world scum!”
“Time to make an example!”
That kind of talk. Real original.
I was on one of the CSVs. Didn't get a chance to say goodbye to her or my limbs. When the ship blew, I turned into a comet made of screams, pain, and regret.
They found me later what was left of me. No legs, one arm barely attached, lungs collapsed, I looked like shit. But I was alive. Barely.
Built Different. Literally.
Back at Kreuzberg Depot, the crew did what Junkers do best:
Welded, Bolted, Recycled
They slapped me back together with what looked like old busted droid parts, a vending machine claw, all the high tech within junkers budget.
Only 8 out of 35 of us survived that day. And let me tell you, Xenos bought that win with blood. We sent most of those fascist home in grinded down escape pods.
That incident Left me scarred, burnt, bolted, and deeply allergic to authoritarians.
So nowadays I do mostly honest work. Mostly.
Freight hauling. Salvage ops. Smuggling the occasional questionable item through Rheindland customs. pretending it's “industrial-grade chewing gum.”
But when Xenos,Hogosha, Farmers Alliance, or Core clowns show up?
I stop being a hauler and start being a problem.
Any Criminal Past?:Nope wait, Cardamine is legal right?
What ships do you currently own?:mainly a"Collector" and sometimes pilot a Pilgrim liner for hauling
