Watching starships embark from the observation deck has always intrigued me. I’ve seen all manner of vessels transit this station; from heavy battleships prepared to deliver violence to colossal freighters pursuing profit. Through it all, one thing has always remained the same: they always go back out for more. I once asked an officer of the Amarrian Navy what drives a captain and crew to continue risking everything. He told me “We do it because once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk with your eyes turned skyward.” My life has never been the same since. | Watching starships embark from the observation deck has always intrigued me.

The work was hard, but rewarding. The crew was happy and well paid. This is the kind of piloting I had been longing for. The peaceful solar winds whistling through the asteroid fields as the mining lasers brought in the precious material. The atmosphere was relaxed and calm, and for the first time in my life, I was helping to build and create a better New Eden rather than tear it apart. | The work was hard, but rewarding.
