You were born to fly. Whether trained in a prestigious academy, hardened in the chaos of war, or self‑taught on the fringes of civilization, you’ve mastered the art of piloting starships with unmatched skill. To you, the cockpit is more than a seat—it’s a throne, and the stars themselves are your domain.
Others may see space as vast and unforgiving, but you see it as a canvas for daring maneuvers and impossible feats. You’ve danced through asteroid fields, skimmed the edges of gravity wells, and outpaced rivals who thought they had you cornered. Every flight is a test of nerve, precision, and instinct, and you thrive on the razor’s edge between triumph and disaster.
Your reputation precedes you. Fellow pilots whisper your name with respect—or envy. Captains seek you out for dangerous missions, smugglers want you at their helm, and militaries know that a single ace can turn the tide of battle. Yet with fame comes pressure: every mission could be the one where your luck runs out, every rival eager to prove they can outfly you.
Whether you fly for glory, duty, profit, or freedom, one truth defines you: in the endless void, skill is survival, and you are the best there is.
