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

"So, it's decided. We'll be taking the escort mission to the Phregon System."

After hashing out the details of their upcoming journey, Avery, Kasandra, Kaiden, and Ezra had all agreed on their destination.

A planet in the Phregon System was currently undergoing terraforming, and as such, many merchant vessels were constantly flocking there to deliver goods for the budding world.

In three days, a fleet of cargo ships that were carrying millions of tons of refined metals was heading there from the Yuson System.

With such valuable cargo, the merchants naturally wanted more protection and had sent a high paying request to the Mercenary Association for guards ranked three star of higher.
