Diary of a Leviathan:

Year: 2950: I just retired from the UEE Navy and set out do my own thing. I tried my hand at being a freelancer but apparently people with no reputation at all are not looked on favorably. All I can get for work are crappy milk runs that barely even pay for the fuel on my cutlass, much less the wear and tear.

Year 2952: I finally got an employment offer from Hurston Dynamics to be a security contractor. The 2 years I spent barely scraping by as a freelancer finally paid off. Time to make some real money.

Year 2955: It’s been 3 years since I was hired by HD. Over time I managed to do fairly well for myself and afford a small fleet of ships. Unfortunately my employers have been getting stingy over pay recently. They cited economic stress from the recent attacks by Xenothreat and the slicers as well as further incursions by the Vanduul. This is the 4th time this year they have cut my pay. Starting to really become frustrated.

Year 2955 Luminalia: I’ve finally had it. Those greedy rats at HD have just cut my pay again. I cannot afford to feed my crew and maintain my fleet on this lowsy pay. I’ve been putting it off but becoming a pirate has started to become a more appetizing career option. I know HD is shipping a load of Quantanium into Pyro later this week. I’m supposed to be security for the trip, little do they know, that cargo won’t be making it to it’s intended destination.

Year 2955 Luminalia: I did it. my partner and I seized the ship and cargo and offloaded it to a helpful crew over at Ruin Station. They called themselves the Head Hunters and offered us some work. The pay is fairly decent and my crew needs to eat. Think I am going to take them up on that offer.
