Biographical Segment:Jax was born on Graves Station in Dublin to Henry and Mary O’Connor. Henry O’Connor worked for Bretonia Mining and Manufacturing as a gold hauler and was able to provide a modestly good living for his family. May O’Connor was hired by a lesser important executive of BMM as a junior assistant for the office on Graves Station.
In 805 the organization known as Molly’s began targeting employees of BMM to hamper the shipments of gold out of Dublin and into greater Bretonia. It was during this time that Jax’s father, Henry, felt that his family was threatened by the rise in violence and made a drastic decision to quit his job with BMM and move his family. In the end, Henry was able to take a contract with Deep Space Engineering as a miner in Pittsburgh and moved his family to Cambridge. It was here in Cambridge that Jax was schooled and eventually studied Star Navigation and Theory.
When Jax turned 22 his father was able to get him a contract with DSE and Jax booked passage for Planet Erie in order to link up with the freighter “Fortunes Fury” and serve as an apprentice navigator and ships hand. Cpt. Jared Dolshezky, the Captain of the “Fortunes Fury”, was tasked with hauling copper mined from Kansas to Planet Denver for DSE. In order to make some side credits Cpt. Dolshezky also set up a private contract with Planet Erie for the pickup and delivery of pharmaceuticals which were in short supply on Erie.
During these runs gained as much experience as he could around the ship, though he was limited to what he could learn because of his age and seniority, which wasn’t much Jax had learned after the Chief Navigation Officer had so politely explained, “You are about as important on these decks as a turd stain on the wall of the aft brig compartment.” After Jax had served for a year on the “Fortunes Fury” he was given the opportunity to learn how to fly one of the ships two small shuttles so that the loading and offloading of cargo could be expedited and also took on the added duty as the Captains Messenger when docked.
At 24 Jax was progressing in his skills as an able crewman and navigator and began to dream of the day when he might Captain his own ship. The only problem he had was that it could take years, maybe even decades for a crew-member to save up enough credits to buy his own ship. No, the best he could hope for was to one day become Chief Navigator.
During one of the stops at Planet Erie, Cpt. Dolshezky became ill and sent Jax planet-side to meet with a representative from the pharmaceutical contract. Normally the Captain handled on paperwork and affairs regarding the contract himself but Jax guessed that the Officers Head was a poor place for such a meeting. Upon arriving Jax was greeted by Veronica Davis, the representative for the pharmaceutical contract and an assistant to Mr. Michael Cortex, the contract manager. Jax would later describe the meeting as “love at first sight” though Veronica admitted that she had needed a little more convincing. From that moment on Jax would spend all his furlough time on Erie with Veronica and shortly after his 25th Birthday the two lovers decided that they would marry when Jax could save enough to provide for them both and secure a better position as a full time navigation's officer.
While on Erie during a quick 72 hour liberty stop, Jax had walked Veronica to her office decided to stop by Mama Joe’s Market to pick up a few things before he was to report back to ship. Jax was never really sure why he noticed the job board on that day, it had been there since before he frequented the shop over a year ago, but today one of the holo ads caught his attention. A gentleman in a crisp, clean uniform sat behind a desk saying something that Jax could not make out since the volume had been turned off. Words began to roll around the image in letters that looked military in their appearance
PROTECT THE REPUBLIC – EARN RESPECT – LEARN NEW SKILLS – JOIN THE LIBERTY NAVY TODAY
The words kept repeating around the figure behind the desk and then, like a gate opening in his mind, Jax got an idea…
