Growing up an orphan ward of the UEE was never going to be easy. Stuck somewhere between a citizen and civilian "Bee" dreamed of being anywhere but Earth. A chance apprenticeship at RSI and 10 long years of hard work earned him a third-hand Aurora and a pass of freedom, but no plan and no idea how to survive. Eking out a living on the fringe of society was as good as it could get.... Until, attacked by pirates, the Aurora - and with it, hopes and dreams, was destroyed.
Stranded on Terra, unable to afford ship repairs or transportation away, a last roll of the dice earns an interview - and employment - with Valinor Aerospace.
