Space Scaver

You grew up among the wreckage of forgotten wars and derelict ships drifting through the void. Where others saw twisted metal and dead technology, you saw opportunity. Scavengers like you are the lifeblood of the frontier—risking radiation, hostile raiders, and collapsing hulls to strip valuable parts from the bones of the past.
Life as a scavenger is harsh. You’ve learned to breathe stale air, patch your suit with scrap, and survive on whatever you can barter from your finds. Every haul could be a fortune—or a death trap. You’ve crawled through shattered corridors, pried open sealed cargo bays, and fought off rival crews who wanted your prize.
Yet scavenging isn’t just about survival. It’s about discovery. Each derelict tells a story: a battle lost, a voyage abandoned, a secret buried in the stars. You carry those stories with you, along with the scars and trophies of your trade. Whether you’re chasing rumors of a legendary lost ship, or simply trying to keep your family fed, you know one truth better than anyone: in the void, nothing is truly worthless.
