This is Mord Rekaria. Recently I've heard stories about the Mandalorians on my home base of Planet Houston, System Texas. Since I first heard the name curiosity began to swirl and I've decided to see why I'm drawn to it.
My background starts right here on Planet Houston. My father and mother used to freelance together out in the Omega systems. Six Red Hessians ambushed them while they were entering a jump hole. My mother's ship was destroyed and my half of my father's weapon systems were disabled. He was able to destroy half of them before they began to flee. Although two escape pods jettisoned from my mother's ship it was not found. One caring me and the other her. Whether she was destroyed by the Hessians or captured I hold a Vendetta. I was eleven at the time. His cripped ship limped to Houston with me still in the cargo bay. The ship was not the only thing to be crippled. His right arm and hip were greatly injured in the attack. He can no longer fly. He sold his ship and began a Basic Alloy market and with the extra money from the ship several mercenaries were hired to find any news about my mother. No word has gotten out.
Years ago I was able to sneak out of planet Houston on a trade ship and began exploring the galaxy looking for the omega systems. The trading ship captain caught me and jettisoned me out into space into Rheinland space. I was picked up by a deep space Liberty Patrol who returned me home a month later.
Four days ago I got a lucky break and received a flyable ship. I've been exploring the galaxy ever since. I've been slowly building up my credits and trading in for new ships. I'm currently in a Very Heavy Fighter "Manta". Work has been slow out in space and I've been helped the LPI clear pirates out of my home system of Texas. Today I ventured out into omega space and flew with several factions destroying every ship unfortunate enough to tag their ship Red Hessian. I've decided Mercenary work is the life for me. I consider myself a warrior although my skills have not yet been tested.
I appreciate your time and hope for a speedy reply. Thank y'all.

Take my love, take my land
Take me where I cannot stand
I don't care, I'm still free
You can't take the sky from me
Take me out to the black
Tell 'em I ain't comin' back
Burn the land and boil the sea
You can't take the sky from me
There's no place I can be
Since I found serenity
But you can't take the sky from me
