Family history of Feldwebel Nikolai Sovok

[Sturmwind]

Evidently, their plan failed. Their vector was caught by their Coalition pursuers, who as they couldn't catch up, contacted the Rheinland Federal Police anonymously reporting the approach of a Hessian-affiliated smuggler. Even though the freighter Berger used to escape was not equipped with anything pointing to Hessian origins, the unregistered personnel weaponry in its hold was still present.

The dispatched RFP patrol wing caught the freighter entering New Berlin via the gate. Their scanners proved the report to be valid, so they approached the vessel with weapons charged. Berger thought they were going to open fire at once, so he began to flee towards the nearby asteroid field. The police vessels issued him several warnings to stop, but as he didn't respond, the dromedary was shot at. The cargo hold was penetrated by a tachyon salvo and most of the weapon containers caught fire, tearing the ship up in an explosion in mere seconds.

Imran however, made it to space with an escape pod, unlike the pilot who perished among the flames and the sudden explosion. It is unknown why the policemen didn't pick up either the weapons or the pod, but they hastened to Stuttgart as soon as the freighter was destroyed. Imran spent entire days in his escape pod, drifting among the smoking ruins of his freighter and the corpse of his savior, abandoning everything and everyone he ever held dear. It is believed to have been a shock enough for the young Imran to make him remain silent for months even as he was rescued by the Junkers, never telling his real name to anyone again either.
