Bio

Given a golden ticket (or a death sentence depending on your point of view) on the first colony ship to leave Yuff for other star systems, Jax has been, at the time of campaign start, away from his home planet for around 400 years, and is utterly ignorant of any events to occur since leaving.

As the cruiser he was being transported in (The UGFY Diaspora) re-entered the home system, the ship AI began long range scans, attempting to locate homing beacons to lock on to for urgent repairs. Having no return signals of any sort, it reverted to its emergency protools. After checking the planet for life forms and human habitability signatures, it followed protocol in ejecting the highest ranking carried individual onto the planet surface to ascertain what the local situation was, and what further actions should be taken, especially regarding its valuable cargo…

Jax is the only commissioned officer left on the Diaspora. He awakens from his 400 year hypersleep, in his escape pod, on a planet he does not recognise, with the recorded ship AI’s insistent orders ringing in his ears. “…COMPROMISED. EMERGENCY PROTOCOL /XX001 ENACTED. CURRENT OCCUPANT SUITABILITY FOR TASK – MINIMAL. OPTIONS LIMITED. PRIORITY MISSION: ASSESS AND REPORT SURFACE SITUATION. EMERGENCY PROTOCOL /XX001 ENABLES AVAILABILITY OF MISSION SPECIFIC TOOLS. EMERGENCY RE-ENTRY VEHICLE POWER SUPPLY AT 40%. CRITICAL REPAIRS NECES…”
