My life changed with the spotting of a holo-ad.

A new life awaits you in the Off-world colonies! A chance to begin again in a golden land of opportunity and adventure!

New life my ass. Opportunity... what a waste. They don't advertise for miners in holo-ads, but that was the opportunity they were selling.

I found my way though. I "acquired" a ship with questionable legality and flew it straight down the throat of opportunity. I've mined, battled, and bled my way to where I am. I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Immensea. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate.

I won't stop until I reach the top.
