Born Jarvis Simon on Roppongi Station, he is the illegitimate son of IND head Jay Simon. His mother Nancy Hicks worked for IND as a clerk, when he caught the eye of Jay Simon. A salacious affair went on for four months, which resulted in Nancy becoming pregnant. When Jay found out about the pregnancy, he reassigned Nancy and disavowed any connection to her or her unborn son. With little in the way of financial security, Nancy was forced to accept the reassignment, or lose her job and health coverage, with a baby on the way. Nancy moved to Roppongi and a few months later, she gave birth to a son. While Jay never accepted the child was his, she still decided to give the child his last name, along with the first name of her late father. Growing up, Jarvis's mother told him about his father and how it was the elder Simon's actions that doomed them to the life of mediocrity that they found themselves in. It can be clearly seen how Jarvis grew up and made it his mission to bring his father, and his father's work to the ground.
Jarvis knew, beyond a doubt his father would also be trying to watch him. Growing up on Roppongi it was always easy enough to lose the eyes by going down to the planet, or to Kabuchiko and by the time he was sixteen he had mastered getting rid of a tail. There weren't too many people in Kusari looking to help Jay Simon or IND. This is where Jarvis first began to fall in with the crowd he was looking for. Befriending a few folks in the Hogosha, he was able to get himself a new Kusari identity, and he began to live life as Taro Kamaga. He lived this life for 10 years, spending his time as a bartender on one of the Hogosha's cruise liners. After 10 years, Jarvis felt he had a deep enough cover to begin his plans. Catching a shuttle to planet Erie, he was able to purchase a used Starflier. After a quick stop at Detroit, where he used some old access code he had to pick up a shield buster, he made it to Rochester base. Here he was able to afford two guns and a shield upgrade before he ran out of money. Jarvis had spent a small amount of time on a Hogosha transport and had witness an act of piracy or two in his time. He headed to the Colorado jumpgate, where after a short wait, an Ageria Rhino showed up on his scanner along with its escort. A few moments later, both ships were scrap, and Jarvis was headed back to Rochester with a seventeen units of engine components in his hold. While Jarvis now had the money he needed, the trust was going to take a bit more work. Heading out of Rochester again, he flew back to Detroit and went on a rampage, taking out every Xeno and lawful he could find. By the end of the day, Jarvis returned to Rochester with fourteen civilian pilots and three Xenos, plus the ones he left floating in the vacuum. After turning over the pods to the dealer, and collecting his payment, Jarvis was walking down the promenade of the station when a man pulled him into a side corridor. The man said Jarvis had been noticed by the Liberty Rogues, and that he should make his way to Buffalo base as soon as he could. Jarvis needed no more, this was the moment he had been waiting for. He left that night and headed to Buffalo, a long and dangerous trip for Jarvis in his rickety ship. Finally Jarvis made it into the Badlands. Flying for what seemed like hours, he eventually reached the rock in the middle called Buffalo. He docked and went to look around. While he was in the ship dealer, a thing of such beauty caught his eye. It was the Dagger, sleek and strong, this ship was one of the finest small craft he had ever seen. Looking at his funding he found himself sadly, without enough to afford the ship. Heading into the bar, Jarvis figured he would be able to find some Rogue looking for a little work to be done, and he was not disappointed. He easily found a contract and was off to take out a Bounty Hunter patrol just outside the Badlands. Quick and dirty work and Jarvis was back at Buffalo, handing his well earned credits to the ship dealer. Looking over his new ship, Jarvis knew he was almost there. Sleeping at Buffalo for the night, in the morning Jarvis headed out for Mactan. It was as he was on his way that he was contacted by a Lane Hacker, Brutus Clay, this man, as well as his group gave him help doing the work to sort out his ship and it's IFF. Finally, Jarvis was really ready to begin his quest, sitting in the cockpit of his sleek Dagger armed to the teeth, and flashing a Lane Hacker transponder, it was time for Jarvis to exact his revenge.

To whom it may concern
As you may or may not know, I have been a solo Lane Hacker for quite some time, I must say that it can get quite lonely out there sometimes especially when a Navy, Police or LSF attack wing descends on me. Well I wish to offer the services of my Bomber and Bayonet to you. I know you have procedures, but I have worked with the notorious Phate on a number of occasions under my old alias Rommie. I am currently in hiding in California as a Navy patrol drove me off. I can't do this alone for much longer. I await your response.

Ms. Wilde, even though I might theoretically remember you, that's by no means a good excuse for anyone to deprive you of the unique opportunity to enjoy extra challenge, entertainment, risk, fun, training and creativity, among other benefits which are an inherent part of what's usually referred to as "procedures" in an obscure or boring fashion, depending on how you want to put it.

Greetings, My name is Saul I was a Employee of Ageira Technologies for some time working as escort pilot for there transport ships. After a few months a started to notice things weren't so "nice" inside the company. Anyone who spoke out would either disappear or be put in a position where they wouldn't speak out again and small companies being forced to sell there company to Ageira at a low price. I finally couldn't take anymore more of it and left, I had no family or real friends to speak of so it wasn't like I was leaving behind a whole lot. I got to the New York system and new some of the flight paths of Ageira transports and waited. For a few days I attacked some Ageira transports and then the Bounty Hunters started to show up so I feld into the badlands for safety. By lucky I was able to run into some Liberty Rogues who after accepting some money pointed me to Buffalo Base. I sold my ship and bought a new dagger and with what I had left over talked to a few people in the bar and got the location of Mactan base and left the New York system behind.
Since going to Mactan base I have been fullfilling contracts in attack the Bounty Hunters and have been attacking any Ageira or Bounty Hunter Ship I could find and sometimes taking out a jump gate to catch some ships off guard.
Hiya. The names Sally Sparrow… well more or less Sally. Anyways I use to be a tech on Roppogni until I well access some files I wasn’t supposed to and earned my self a contract on my head. You wont believe how damn hard it is to get off that station and into Liberty undetected… well may-be yall do *laughs * Been on the run ever since and yall’s outfit is the first to come to mind. AInt got much where else to go. I’m almost flat broke. Gotten nothing but this little Dagger and the clothes on my back. Once in Liberty it wasn’t too hard nabbing my Dagger from Buffalo. Took every last penny I had plus the money I got from turning in some nasty and annoying Xenos to the Rogues. After wards I came across some valuable debris that fellow off some transports in Cali and Maggellan which allowed me upgrade my ship a bit… Took a while but I got her up to specs. Ships a little worse for wear but the guys on Machtan fixed her up once I got it there.

Hello,
My name is Erik Nilson. Callsign:- LH~Nilson
I was an Employee of the Ageira Corporation (Designing Flight Combat Simulators) until I realised the Corporation was corrupt to it's core.
Ageira was purposely creating flaws in Liberty Goverment funded projects so more credits were invested.
I had heard rumours of Ageira Employees disappearing because they knew too much, I was scared I would suffer this same fate.
I could not stand to work for a corrupt corporation.
I'd had enough, I liquidated my assets and bought a Starflier.
I decided to head to Rochester Station where Ageira could not find me.
I docked and headed to the bar to collect my thoughts.
I was offered a job destroying Xenos.
I took the job and completed my mission.
A man sitting at the bar said he had witnessed my flying and was impressed (I guess all that time testing flight combat simulators paid off).
I explained my situation to him.
He said he was a Lane Hacker and they were always looking for like-minded individuals such as myself.
I was interested.
He told me to follow him to Buffalo Station.
When we arrived, he told me to buy a Dagger light fighter for $38,520.
I didn't have enough credits, but I bartered the ship dealer down to $35,000.
When I arrived at the bar the man was gone. He had left.
I asked the bartender, He said he left a message.
The Message Read:- Head to Mactan Base.
I undocked and made my journey towards the Magellan system.
On my travels I encountered an individual like myself. Callsign:- LH~Wolfenstein.
He too was heading to Mactan Base.
When we arrived, I docked and looked for work.
I encountered a Lane Hacker Specialist named Murik.
He took me under his wing and helped me increase my reputation with the Lane Hackers.
I scraped enough money together to outfit my Dagger with an Train Cruise Disruptor & Advanced Cargo Scanner.
Wolfenstein and I completed more missions until he was in good standing with the Lane Hackers.
I gave him some credits so he could purchase an Advanced Cargo Scanner.
We encountered a Lane Hacker disrupting the trade lanes in Magellan.
He taught us how to pirate efficiently. I have yet to put what I learned into practice alone though.
Wolfenstein and I encountered a Liberty Navy patrol, we destroyed two ships and then retreated to Mactan for repairs.
And now here I am writing my Official Application to become a Lane Hacker.

Notification to The Lane Hacker Personnel Department
From LH~unknown
My name is... well... my names are.... *sigh* Actually I have lost my names due to the cruelties that the one big company did to me and my family.
My uncle was an employee at Ageira Technologies and he discovered some minor irregularities in the company's finances. For example:- Uncovered checks, brothel bills and so on. He was an upstanding man so he declined any bribes to keep quiet. Then something terrible happened, He died in an accident (Well, so the police report says. But they are in the pockets of Ageira). Ageira did not stop at only killing my Uncle. Our family property and every single bank account was seized by the corrupt police. With all our family's worldly possessions seized by the police or gone, my family convinced me to buy a starflier and leave our home system to start a better life.
I thought what better way to start my new life that to strike back at Ageira Technologies - The Corporation that stole everything from me. I decided then I would dedicate my life to destroy the corrupt Corporation that is Ageira. With some good fortune I encountered a man who could help me enact my revenge against Ageira. He advised me to look out for the Lane Hackers.
Determined, I decided to find these Lane Hackers. I heard the Lane Hackers were based in a Station called Mactan, out in Magellan. So I headed there, In my travels I encountered Bounty Hunters, Xenos and LPI - All kinds of scum. After a long hit and run period in the Rochester area where I find my first housing, the Rogues from Buffolo Base offered me a better ship (my Dagger) and the route to Mactan Base. Finally I arrived at Mactan and there at last I found after a long time some kindred spirits who helped me out in gaining the Hackers and fulfilling my destiny.
Here I am - Let me join your ranks and I will stand at your side and fight against the Corruption that is the Ageira Corporation...

/This is Crius Lee, pilot of the "LH~Crius.Lee"
/A few days ago i managed to hack into the Ageira COMM systems. The reason was my missing father.
/He worked for the Ageira Corporation on planet Erie.
/Then i recieved some credits with the notice "take care. Ageira will hunt me and my family. I
/know too much. you will need these credits to buy a starflier. with this vessel you can escape from planet
/Erie. Take care of your mother and sister. Dad"
/Well... they got my Mom and my Sister. I am the only one, who escaped the corrupt Ageira Corp.
/After hacking into the Erie security system i was able to undock my starflier and to head to Rochester in NY.
/To make some money for food and a better shield for my ship, i hunted Xenos around Rochester and
/Detroit. All the escapepods were sold at Rochester.
/I managed to hack into the Rochester commports. There i found the coords of a hidden base called "Mactan"
/After dodging the liberty police i docked on Buffalo Base to get rid of this trashcan called "Starflier".
/With my new Dagger, I headed to Mactan, with my new friend "Hacker.Friendly".
/He was a recruit for the Lane Hackers and told me something about there view of the world
/which was pretty similar to mine.
/After my arrival on Mactan, i did some jobs for the Lane Hackers to gain their respect.
/On Mactan I met Nilson. , who helped me with his guns and later with one million credits for some new
/equipment.
/Now i own a pretty good equipped dagger, but i am sure you already know this, because a Hacker's eyes
/are everywhere.[needed informations about me]
/I decided to officially join the Lane Hackers because of the fact, that i cannot let Ageira hunt there own men.
/Such a corrupt corporation must be stopped, and i am pretty sure, much more liberty corporations act like
/Ageira. I hope you will accept my application.
/Crius Lee, pilot of the "LH~Crius.Lee"
