Avery Asteria was far from having anyone's dream job. Family circumstances had him drop out of school and flying around the expanse of space looking for treasure among the discarded trash in an old ship his father had been restoring. It was far from glamorous work, but it was all he could do to earn the money he needed. 

He was not the only one looking for fortune among the stars, though. One day a score that looked too good to be true led to a run in with a band of pirates. With some quick wits and a bit of luck, Avery managed to escape the worst, but he ended up missing out on collecting the valuable salvage he had his sights on.

Having lost a large chunk of his gear in his flight from the pirates, Avery seemed to be truly at the end of his rope. However, a twist of fate led him to discovering an experimental vessel that had been lost to the far reaches of space.

With this new ship in his possession, his prospects were looking up. It had everything and more than what any spacefarer could want. And Avery was going to use it to become the leader of the greatest band of mercenaries in the galaxy.

Path to Becoming the Greatest Space Mercenary

Avery kept his expression composed even as he learned that there was indeed a plot brewing at Storren Corp. to forcibly take the Dauntless away from him.

Naturally, he had already figured that this would be the case and honestly was grateful that Ardesen and Dorris reached out to him first.

Getting into a fight with a major corporation would be a pain and limit his actions. He would have to pretty much always make sure to be within areas monitored by the Alliance Police to discourage any illegal actions against him.

'And it seems that Ardesen is willing to compromise more than the Chief Financial Officer. Hopefully we can come to some sort of agreement.' Avery thought, as the two Storren Corp. executives started arguing.

Eventually they settled down, remembering that Avery and Kasandra were in the room and watching their less than professional verbal sparring match.
