History:
Born in a orbital station in the Tau Ceti system and grew up in the asteroid belts among
cargo jocks and miners.
Attended UV-Ceti cargo transport flight school. Passed and got Nav qualifications.
Joined the Independence movement looking for revenge after his brother was killed trying
to run a Navy blockade with a ship full of parts for the Indies.
Flew a few missions as Nav Officer and was given his first command - The puffin Tug
Fistful of Ecu - after proving he was an able and capable captain.
Performed well and was in line for a commendation when his ship was caught and blasted by
three Navy corvettes in Alpha centauri space. He was the only survivor. The rest of his
crew died either in the ship or while ejecting.
He was recovered by the Navy after suffering vacuum exposure and nursed back to health.
His show trial was televised across Midway space and was sentenced to 25 years on Midway
Penal colony.
When Midway rebelled the penal colony was raided and he was released. He immediately
joined with the local Rebels and Indie Forces, storming the base command post.
Using a captured cargo tug and a crew of inmates he lead the assault on the Midway Navy
station, then rejoined the indie forces in Epsilon Eridani and armed the ship up.
Almost lost his new ship after chasing a fleeing Navy Patcom into an ambush.
Grounded for evaluation.
Opinion is that his hatred for the Navy means he's unsuitable for command.
Once the med-techs agreed he was ready to space again he was transferred to NAV duty on
the Redshirt (He felt it was a demotion and resented it, but performed well.)
If operations on the Spartacus go well, he may be cleared to resume command of his own
ship sometime in the future.
