Ed Forder was born on Planet Cambridge at 797. His mom is Gateway trader and Dad police, he got his first ship when he was 12, it was Hussar, he used it to escort Gateway traders, when Ed get out from school, he thought where he would work, few months later he joined to Gateway and he bought Percheron.
When he was flying in New London near Field of Scrap Metal, he just looked that amount of scrap, then he saw ALG mining ship mining in that field, after that Ed understanded what is right job for him.
So he sent message to Gateway leader about resigning, and then he headed to Rheinland, exactly to Dortmund Station in New Berlin system, he docked and went to recruitment office.
After some paperwork, his aplication got apporoved status, and he sold his Percheron, and bought Arrastra, for scrap metal mining.
When Ed got mining ship ready, he headed to Sigma-13. He mined full load of scrap metal to show his skills, Ed docked to Helgoland Station, and unloaded his cargo.
He loved his new job, cleaning scrap is not so cool job, but result is.
