Rand and Kamir began as ordinary traders that piloted the common stork like almost everyone did. In about 896 A.S. they decided to create their own organization that specializes in shipping goods all over this tiny little sector we call Sirius. This organization became... Itasca Trading Co. And it specializes in just that. Now you may be wondering... again; WHO THE HECK ARE THEY?! Yeah, I said heck that time. *Smiles* Well, Kamir was born on planet Erie, in the hustle-bustle system of Pennsylvania. At age 15, he got a job at a local steel mill, earning about 750 dollars a month. Yeah, not very much, but 16?? Steel mill?? Hehe, that guy's tough. Anywho, he saved all of his money until age 24, at which he blew it all on a civilian freighter and went out into the Helium fields. Come on, you know that everyone starts that way at some point. after a good year of mining he traded out his battered freighter for a shiny new Mammoth. And then after that, he met Rand and Rand gave him a lot of money and several good trading routes. Kamir did those routes. And Kamir became rich. Hehe. Anyways, that's Kamir. now onto Rand; Rand was born on planet New London in Bretonia, and after 18 years of flying light fighters as a privateer, he got a transport and took up trading. He quickly learned that hiring miners got lots of cash, and one fateful afternoon, he was in Liberty at the same time as Kamir. Not very fateful, there's a lot of people in the universe. Much less a tiny sector such as Sirius. Anyways, Rand helped Kamir out and they became pals and stuff like that. Then as stated above, they founded ITS. Se yeah, onto the next part!
