Bio
In Lorville's choking dust, cradle of Hurston's merciless mills, Robert Voss rose from a mother's absence lost to the 2942 United Workers Uprising's flames. Sustained by red grit and Old Earth's legends, ever the huckleberry.
At sixteen he joined Hurston Security, purging pirates from freight lanes, learning that will alone carves survival from chaos. Yet he glimpsed the churn where empires rise and souls grind to dust.
The indifferent verse called him higher. In the UEEN Marines he became a Valkyrie drop trooper, plunging into contested hells. Orion 2681 baptized him in Vanduul carnage at Dell Township, friends mulched amid alien blades.
Wounds deepened.Too many ghosts. The weight of mending what fate broke. A wife in Vega's Oberon, child on the way. Vanduul Scourge ended it in twenty-seven minutes of plasma. Family reduced to ash, only her locket remaining. Now he wanders, flame-tempered, bearing the burn. He stares down at the fused locket, wondering what remains of a man when everything is taken.
