Trip was born on Planet Manhatten in 794 A.S. His parents abandoned him just after birth, and so was raised by a man who found him. This man told many tales, one of which included his grandfather who was an Ace and fought in the 100 Years war, and since the first time he heard the tale, Trip wanted to be a pilot. Trip was Home Schooled by the man, and even learned basic flying tips from him that his father taught him, but Trip never got to actually fly, only dream of it. He and the man were poor, and struggling to make ends meet on the surface, sometimes one of them went without a meal so the other wouldn't. When Trip was 16, the man Died. Trip only knew this man as 'Father' And like a father to him, Trip mourned the loss for months, and in those months his living conditions became worse. Living on the streets for weeks at a time, struggling to find anywhere warm to sleep, and anything edible to eat.
That is until a random stranger's act of kindness. Trip found himself worth $200,000 Instantly. With the money he decided he was going to take control of his life and do what he wanted to do. He bought a small Cargo ship, and started Buying commodities low and selling high, as his flight skills and knowledge of Sirius grew, so did his profits. After 6 years he grew substantially and the Law required him to Join a faction and carry an advanced form of Identification if he wanted to continue to grow. Trip was happy where things were going so far...
