I am Captain Dax Hayden, ace pilot of the YT-2400 Fortune Rises and I've decided to keep a ships log during our crews travels. That way if pirates takes over my vessel and disintegrate me they can read all about my deep and dark secrets. Maybe they will write a dashing tale or sing a song of my deeds that they get from these logs. Question is...will I be famous or infamous.
"Space may be freezing, but here the action's hot, so book your trip today — at the Wheel, where no one gets left out in the cold!"
I am so sick of that slogan broadcasting over my comm channel. The Wheel has over 300k population and most of them consists of scum and villainy. They are here either for their deathstick fix or trying their luck at one of the many Wheel's casinos. But, the space-station does have its purpose for good I suppose. The new budding republic has been using the Wheel as a central location to aid planets that have been decimated by the Galactic Civil War. Its location in the Besh Gorgon System is a good hub to many star systems in need.
If my logs are ever found by some pirate then let the record show that I have (or had?) the best crew in the galaxy. Gavin, my trusty engineer, is probably out gallivanting around the Wheel looking for action. He and I go way back, since childhood. I'd be dead in some ditch if it weren't for Gavin. More on that later.
Arathi "Spree" & Golan, two of the fiercest bounty hunters I ever seen. I just hope I never have a bounty on me because they would bring me in. They always get their man, alien, creature, or whatever species is wanted they will get it...dead or alive. They are at the bounty hub as I write this...looking for their next big score. We have a mutual relationship...they do the research on where their bounty is and I get them there. I take a very small cut of their bounties. Too small in my book...but they also help Felix protect Gavin and I from the unsavory.
Felix a soldier of fortune and a damn good one at that. He has seen a lot of action during the Civil War and he has been physically and mentally scarred from it. He is also a damn good pilot. Not as good as me though...but not many are. I think he has a death-wish though, always going headstrong into the enemy.
We are here for some easy credits...easy...right. Since the new republic can't do it all on their own they have been hiring well...about anyone with a ship to deliver supplies. We got our supplies and are about to deliver a shipment of medical supplies to Keeto Prime.
