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

Having completed their first job suppressing the terrorist force attacking Phregon III, Avery and his team moved on to the next one.

"Avery, I thought we agreed that you wouldn't use micro missiles unless it was an emergency. Those things are expensive to replace, and you can only store eighteen in your armor at a time."

Kasandra's voice came blaring through the comms within Avery's power armor's helmet.

When he had seen that the people of Stortbui Chemicals were in trouble, he had disregarded everything and sent out a full volley of six micro missiles to break up the terrorist forces.

In hindsight it had probably been overkill. Even just two of the missiles likely would have been enough to accomplish what he wanted.

"Okay, I'll be more careful going forward. So, what's the name of the company were heading to this time?" Avery said, quickly changing the subject.
