Space Trucker

You’ve spent countless hours behind the helm of a freighter, hauling goods across the void. The life of a space trucker is long stretches of monotony punctuated by sudden danger: pirates, customs inspectors, engine failures, or the occasional alien stowaway. You’ve learned to keep your ship patched together, your cargo secure, and your wits sharp.

Space truckers are the backbone of interstellar civilization. Without them, colonies starve, stations collapse, and economies grind to a halt. You’ve seen the inside of every kind of port—from gleaming trade hubs to rust‑stained outposts—and you know the unwritten rules of the road: respect the cargo, trust your crew, and never miss a delivery.

Whether you haul for profit, loyalty, or freedom, you carry the stories of the stars with you. Every shipment is a journey, every route a gamble, and every port a chance to find something new.
