MegaC

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

Two weeks went by in a flash for Avery. He spent pretty much every waking moment training with Kasandra and Kaiden or figuring out strategies to give him an advantage over Ezra.

It had been grueling work to say the least. At some points he thought that it was worse than what he had gone through during his time learning under Urs.

Kaiden especially reveled in the chance to fight Avery and take out the frustrations he had built up him.

While they had buried the hatchet so to speak, Avery had essentially taken away Kaiden's only family and closest friend when Kasandra decided to stick with him. Fortunately, with Kaiden joining up with them, the majority of their issues had been resolved. He had even given begrudging approval of Avery's relationship with his sister.

"To think that Yuson Prime would have a facility like this."
