Story/Biography: Hjalmar Sturm was born in August of 795 A.S. in the capital city of the frigid planet of Hamburg. During the Nomad War of 799-800 A.S., his father was a mid-level pilot in the Military, with his mother staying home to take care of him and his siblings in their modest flat. Hjalmar would never truly know his father as he would not return from the Nomad War, being a part of the Northern Fleet that was presumed lost to the alien menace. With the main breadwinner gone in the economic and political chaos of the aftermath of the Nomad war, and on the edge of destitution, his mother, Vera Sturm, turned to the last people she knew could help - the Red Hessians.
Her father, Hjalmar's maternal grandfather, Helmut, was once a Kruger foreman on the then-frontier station of Elbich, Omega-7. During the layoffs of 834, Helmut was remiss to find that his was one of the positions eliminated. He had never been particularly happy with the status quo of Kruger, and his attempts to form a union was foiled time after time. He found camaraderie and belonging in the Hessians, who shared many of his grievances with Kruger. Helmut took Vera and her children in, though Vogtland was not the most ideal place to raise children, she made do as a cook, feeding the endless appetites of Hessian pilots returning from patrols of the burning Omega systems. Hjalmar grew up on Vogtland, training from a young age, eventually becoming a pilot like his father before him - though for a different, and noble - cause.
