Daniel Archer grew up in Liberty, on Pittsburgh. As per usual, he spent his earlier life mining, with his father. It was a tough life, and he only had his father, as his mother had died in child birth. His father and him had spent many a nights not eating, and worked tirelessly. Then one day his father passed away, and he was left alone. In his dying breaths his father had passed onto him the wealth he had accumulated. It was enough for a camara, second hand, patched up and barely functioning. He used this to trade tirelessly, and unfortunately he did not know that the ship was flown by a notorious smuggler, and was on a K-o-S list. He began to establish himself as a miner, and mined the giant scrap field which surrounded Pittsburgh.
One day Daniel was making his normal rounds in the field when a wing of naval vessels appeared on scanners, clearly on an intercept course with him. Daniel continued about his business, knowing that he had done nothing wrong. Then the ships opened fire, instantly dropping his shields. Daniel was then struck by a Super Nova Antimatter Cannon shot and his hull crumpled under the antimatter. An airtight cylinder of metal immediately surrounded his pilot'€™s chair as the ship depressurized and he was thrown into space.
The Navy vessels were heard '€Tango Down.'€ as the flew away. Daniel was knocked unconscious, mostly due to the lack of proper gel padding in the escape pod, but also partially to shock.
Daniel was unconscious for what would be days, he had suffered a mild concussion. Fortunately for him (and consequently, unfortunately for those Naval officers) a passing Junker found him. The Junker took him to Rochester, to an infirmary in fact, instead of just selling him off to slavers. It took Daniel a full week to come to consciousness and even then, the anger inside him was welling.
After he got released from the infirmary, and had payed all his expenses, he accessed his neural-net account, and withdrew all his money onto his credit chit. Daniel purchased (and had delivered) a Sabre, borderworlds fighter. On this he had guns installed, and had it worked over extensively. Using virtually all of the money he had made through his small time mining operation. He immediately set off to the Pittsburgh scrap fields, and found the area where he was shot down. He set his ship to minimum settings, and hid in a piece of a wrecked Cruiser. In an hour or so he saw the patrol that shot him down, and waited until they passed.
Just as they passed he kicked his ship to life, and gunned down one of the two Guardians. In a flash of dazzling light the Naval fighter went up in flames, imploding, as bolts of energy flew from the guns, which were firing due to crippled systems. The next fighter began to fly a path straight, to avoid fire, Daniel quickly changed his target to the single Upholder present. He opened up as the bomber pilot tried to pull a 180 degree turn. As he did, Daniel opened up, dropping his shields, the bomber pilots responded by thrustering, and Daniel moved from the line of fire soon to be experienced, all while dropping a single nuclear mine. The bomber hit the mine and his ship spun out of control, as the mine had crippled his engines. Then Daniel'€™s ship was rocked as the lone Guardian began a strafing run, nearly dropping his shields. Daniel countered his maneuver by hitting the ship with a cruise disruptor and taking it out of it'€™s state of drifting, and he got behind it. He watched as the Bomber finally impacted with a large piece of scrap and crumpled, then imploded. Daniel began firing, but the pilot maneuvered out of the line of fire quickly, but barely. Then it was Daniel turns to dodge, and dodge he did, barely avoiding the shots of the magma hammers as they blew past his cockpit. Daniel saw opportunity, and quickly maneuvered into the remnants of a Dreadnought, moving his ship through the wrecked decks, barely making it through. He could see the Naval ship on the outside, looking in trying to find him. Daniel went past an opening and shot out a nuke, it maneuvered carefully and impacted with the fighter, it'€™s shields were down. It was at that moment, Daniel blew a new hold in the wreckage, opening up a place to fly out of, and when he did, the front of his ship was less then a meter from the Naval ship.
Daniel could see the fear in the pilots eyes, and he felt nothing as he loosed his mini-razor on the ship. Penetrating through the front of the ship all the way to the rear, the pilot was killed instantly. Daniel tractored the pods of the other officers and set a course for Rochester. He arrived on base after some time, he took a long route to avoid Naval patrols, and made it back safely. He sold off the soldiers, and made some nice money.
Daniel continued to harass the Navy in that spot, he did so for a good time, downing even the top pilots that patrolled there. Eventually, the navy wised up, and took actual threatening action against him. One day he was hiding in a spot near to his original place of destruction, when a patrol of fighters entered sight.
'€œPerfect, just on time.'€ Daniel said to himself he kicked his engines to life.
It was then that things went downhill fast. Daniel began to fire, the pilots reacted quickly, like they had known he was there. They merely avoided fire, and it was then he realized....
It was a trap.
He looked at his radar and saw 3 large ships on a direct intercept course, too close to escape from. He looked and saw them, a Liberty Siege Cruiser escorted by a pair of gunboats, not to mention a dozen snub craft.
'€Surrender now, we will only ask once.'€ Said a voice over the communications relay to Daniel.
Daniel spat on the speakers in a sign of ultimate defiance and he opened up on the cruiser, doing no damage at all. Daniel'€™s ship was instantly disabled, and torn to pieces, for the second time in his life he was forced to eject. His escape pod was tractored in and he was taken to the brig, in the roughest manner the guards could manage. The ship was on it'€™s way, and Daniel could hear the hum of the engines, they were nearing the edge of the field, when a report came over the loudspeaker.
'€We have hostile contacts on scanners, Hellfire legion troops!'€ the voice squawked.
The Cruiser was shaken violently as antimatter impacted with the hull of the ship. Then more sirens went off. And eventually there was the stomping of boots along the floor as troops swarmed the hallways. Soldiers stormed his cell, bagged him, and carried him off ship.
Daniel sat, as his interregators began his interrogation.
