Name: Duncan Werden Rank: Feldwebel Age: 24 Height: 6'1", (~2 Meters) Weight: 145 lbs. Hair Color: Black Eye Color: Blue Planet/Station of Origin: Planet New Berlin Background Information:
Duncan Werden was born on Planet New Berlin to a family of DHC engineers, who, in order to pay their bills, took Duncan along with them as soon as he was old enough, so that he might work doing odd jobs around the great transports that plied the trade lanes. In his infrequent time off, Duncan would talk to some of the escorts, who varied from mercenaries, to DHC employees, to even the occasional Rheinland Military pilot, it was in these chats that Duncan began to gain a passion for the idea of flying a fighter in defense of something, but he hadn't the time or money to do so. One day, on a regular trade route of theirs, a group of pirates attacked their transport, unfortunately, Duncan's parents were in the engine room when the pirates destroyed the engines, and the explosion killed them instantly and sucked their bodies into the vacuum of space, never to be found again. After this frightening display of power, the Captain of the transport paid their ransom and the pirates left as the crew awaited rescue.
No one else was hurt during the incident, but Duncan would be forever inflamed with a desire to ensure that no one else lost a loved one to the pirates of Sirius and the enemies of Rheinland. After putting his engineering training to use as a part-time fighter repair-man, Duncan began to take Fighter Flight Training classes, and showed a seemingly in-born proficiency for flying the agile training vessels. One late night, whilst Duncan was fixing a heat-dissipator unit coupling, the holo-set that had been blaring music throughout the garage-area played a recruitment message for the Rheinland Military. Upon hearing this message, Duncan was immediately reminded of his loving parents, and his earlier vow, and thusly inspired, ran as quickly as he could to the local recruitment office and applied.
