Daniel Spencer, a zoner trader and transporter of ships. His legal side is clean for now, he offers his services within the law.... but his ship is equipped with a hyper engine, for which he's in debts to repay. It allows him to move across Sirius with unmatched time and speed.... but it can't be easy like that, can it?
The fuel for the engine is highly expensive, filling the ship for two trips costs him as much as regular people to buy a small aircraft.
He's forced to carry contraband while no one sees, getting any stuff for anybody. Just to keep with costs he needs to pay for his ship maintaining.
Special deliveries of highly expensive materials, slaves to rich people, artifacts to collectors of alien tech. Daniel can't really choose anything below his threshold.
He has an idea to change his way of profits from smuggling to only suggesting transportation of ships, but it requires him to find needed people, which would need his services. He was able to find a few passengers from Liberty to Omicrons during his travels, but that's just not enough in keeping with demands for the ship.
So far he was lucky to avoid being targeted by torpedos and antimatter cannons, but luck can't last forever? Better be prepared in advance for the trouble with law keepers or pirates.
During his one of shady deals, his client offered as payment a blueprint for a gun, which would increase the protection of the ship considerably. As it's reworked version of transport EMP flak turret for bustard's more massive power core.
The new turret would not only help to deflect enemy missiles and torpedos but also depletes enemy shields and weak power cores through strong discharges of electromagnetic explosions, giving an additional layer of protection against energy-based weaponry
Scientists at Zoners Research Station in Omicron Kappa agreed to build one using the blueprint, after having the transporter hired for secure deliveries of their materials between stations.
