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 capitalized on the sudden confusion caused by the mercenaries Iniquus had enslaved collapsing and took aim at his four remaining guards.

These individuals were the leaders of his personal army, and all of them came from his home world and were extremely loyal to him without the need of an implant to force their submission.

A stream of rapidly fired blasts shot out of Avery's high-end laser rifle and hammered into the four guards' personal shield generators.

Naturally, the four well trained combatants got over their shock quickly and prepared to return fire.

However, before they could press down on their triggers, Avery kicked up the table between him and Iniquus to use it as a shield.

For a few moments, he and the guards traded fire, but that was a major mistake on their parts.

All of them had their undivided attention on him and had completely taken their eyes off of Grtio. A soon to be costly mistake.
