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

As a public transport landed, three figures that were seated near the front got up and immediately left the vessel.

From the airport, they took the shortest route to the exit and quickly made their way to the vehicle they had rented to use while in the city.

"Olivia, was it really necessary for us to do all of that? We could have just had Ezra, or even the Alliance Police drop us off." The bespectacled girl with short black hair sitting in the vehicle's passenger seat complained.

"Come on now, Havanna. It might seem excessive, but our leader ordered us to do so, and the captain agreed. You can't deny that there are some dangerous people after us right now. It's best that we are cautious." A younger man with spikey brown hair and a single mechanical arm sitting in the back responded.
