"In the Beginning"

Nothing is known how this young man's life has started. He was probably left somewhere on the streets of Malta to die. His fate was locked. He was going to die the moment he was born. Luckily, he survived. Elisa, an old lady without children, found him, and took care of him until he was better.

Malta was a rough place to live, to breath Cardamine, to eat Cardamine, to drink Cardamine. His guardian angel, Elisa took good care and raised a strong young boy. She named him Dominic, by her husband who got killed in a Corsair attack. When he hit 16 Years, he started to work on a Cardamine field next to his "village". 2 Years later, a large economic crisis hitted the unprepared Outcast population.Trying to survive the crisis, Elisa had to leave Malta and to search for work somewhere in House space.

An unusual trip

Dominic has never seen the outer space. He was amazed how it looked, how it sounded. He saw many men and women flying around the transport he and his guardian were in. He was amazed by the skills the pilots were blessed with. The trip prolonged when the transport suffered some issues with the engines. A couple of Outcast raiders were sent to protect the transport which was hauling precious cargo towards New Tokyo's huge Black Market. The 2 Outcast pilots boarded the transport seeking for someone to join their cause. Dominic was unprepared, yet, he wanted to go with them. He finally stood up, came to the Outcast, and told him: "You searching for sum help there? Ye i am your man." The Pilot looked at him for a moment, then said: "Okay, you seem fit. Let's go".

Elise didn't know what was happening. She tought that he was going over to check what the pilots were doing. Dominic forgot about her, he was amazed of the ships, of the space, of everything outside his homeworld. He tried to accept what was going outside his familiar space and to accept that he is one of the Outcasts.

The Outcasts

Boarded on the Pilots ship, he started questioning him about it, about his life as an Outcast, about everything. Good for him, the pilot was trying to explain everything, if it was someone else, he would probably jettison him in space, as he was starting to ask too much questions. The destination: Omicron Eta. The starting point of all Outcasts. Training, equipping and then fighting with Corsairs. A life he could not imagine. Everything was new to him. Alas, he joined their cause, he couldn't back out now. Trips to space, then back, then again and again until his fighting and flying skills were perfect.

14 Years later

A perfect man was born out of ashes. Survived the worst, been everywhere, tried everything, he was unstoppable. Flying his own wing of fighters, he had it all. That was about to change. He considered he gave enough to Outcasts, and now he wanted something back from them. Something valuable. Something noone ever imagined of stealing. The prototype light fighter "Scimitar X3-417L". Equipped with nomad tech, it was able to beat even the biggest and the meanest. Capable of obliterating a whole base, it was everyones dream. That was his target. A group of 7 entered Valetta Shipyard, killing everyone in sight, and searching for the ship. After a shootout with the Outcast pilots, he entered the main storage facility, and using an officers card, he passed inside the Classified section of the shipyard. He was amazed what was being produced there. He and his men were walking inside a treasury. They found some interesting ships, the Ragnarok Gunboat with a devastating forward gun that was capable of dealing over 3 million damage, the Yggdrasil Battleship, a monster that was consuming fuel like a whole sun. His men were amazed.... Never seeing something like that, they were wondering, and they even forgot about their main goal. The prototype Scimitar. Dominic spotted it hidden in the corner. He entered the ship fast, with his men shooting everything and everyone in his path. What they didn't know, is that the alarm sounded off too soon. A whole armada was called in, blocking every way out. As Dominic didn't knew how to use the guns that were mounted on his ship, he ordered his men to enter formation, arm every bomb inside their ships and slam inside the armada that was blocking the jumphole to Tau's. His men were faithful, he knew he guided them well, and they knew they needed to help him out as much as he helped them. The 6 men slammed into the blocade destroying the whole fleet on sight, killing everyone and everything on them. Dom was crushed, but he had to continue. As he was about to enter the jumphole, strange readings started to appear on his long range scanners. It was a group of fighters approaching him. He tought it was the end, the Outcasts got him. He was wronged, those were the Samarran Raiders.
