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

"I talked a big game. Now it's time to back it up."

As Kaiden maneuvered his vessel closer to the Dauntless, Avery prepared for his midflight jump.

He was certain that his power suit could handle the hostile environment of open space for at least a few minutes. So long as he did not miss the timing, he was confident he could make it aboard his own ship.

Still, this was the first time he was doing something like this, and it was during a chaotic battle. The chances that something might go wrong were high.

'I'm the leader though, so I've got to be the one to take on the biggest burdens. Always at the front and proving I can handle anything.' Avery thought, steeling his nerves.

Ever since he started recruiting members into his group, he had begun to make it a habit to push himself to his limits. With such amazing people following him, he felt that it was necessary to constantly prove his worth.
