LightWell Science Academy / LIGHTWELL

Established when a band of do-gooder medical scientists decided to split from mainstream society and live freely among the stars as nomadic humanitarians. The flagship vessel, an Endeavor-Hope variant has seen nearly every kind of action and goes wherever the greatest needs in the galaxy are felt.

Shortly after its 1000th mission, ‘The Light Runner’ was last reported as missing while responding to a distress call from a ship trying to chart an unstable wormhole. Despite the best efforts of the crew they were unable to escape from the anomaly before suffering catastrophic structural damage – all crew perished, save one. Using what was left of the emergency pod’s life support systems the man citizens would come to know as, “Mr. LightWell” was able to nurse the wounded ship back to health, as well as his body.

The “cyborg” claims he experienced death alongside his brothers but somehow his consciousness lives on in the machines he loved to work so much with and bring healing to the galaxy. A promising young Engineer in Prototype Medical systems..Mr. LightWell was able to survive several agonizing procedures before becoming stable enough to utilize one of the on-board suspended-animation pods.

It would be nearly 7 years before the distress beacon, now barely running on emergency power, was picked up by a lone Carrack passing through the region in search of uncharted systems. The crew of the Carrack breached the crudely patched Endeavor and found Mr. LightWell still awaiting rescue in his pod. With additional help to patch remaining systems, both ships made their way back to known space and the nearest service facility on Terra.

It is there he begins the next chapter of his journey…..
