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 walked out of the medical bay aboard the Dauntless while stretching his arms above his head.

Last night he had partied hard with Kasandra, Kaiden, Ezra, and Urs.

Not having had a drink for quite some time, Avery allowed himself to indulge a little too heavily and ended up stupidly drunk.

This had not been a problem until he woke up after going to sleep. Thanks to hardly drinking any water and indulging in some vigorous activities with Kasandra once they returned to the ship, Avery had found himself with a killer hangover.

Fortunately, the small medical bay built into his vessel had a restorative pod that he could crawl into to quickly remedy the minor affliction in only a few minutes.

Now Avery felt fully refreshed. The alcohol purged from his system and his body rehydrated.
