Personality
Ambitious and determined, Cassie is proud of her Corsican heritage and values her re-connection with her people greatly. She believes the Corsairs are the "noble" unlawful of Sirius, treating situations logically and productively and with a degree of humanity - As opposed to your average petty pirate or Outcast half-wit. She is independent and strong-willed, having fought hard to return to the society she was robbed of as a child by her coward of a father.
History
Early Years: 794-808 AS - Ages 0-14
Cassie was born the daughter of Cid Elias Dominique, the then-well respected inheritor of her grandfather's estate and social standing within Corsican high-society. While she holds very vague memories of her mother, it is clear that the woman departed in questionable circumstances and left not so much as a name for her child to remember. Throughout the years of her childhood she witnessed her father losing the decisiveness and strength of will that his father before him had maintained and, after a series of bloody confrontations, he announced his leaving the homeland. With his daughter now seven he abandoned his roots in the Edge Worlds and emigrated to Liberty. Arriving on Planet Manhattan in the heart of New York, he annexed a small corsair-backed corporation registered under his father's name and, utilising the money with which he'd escaped Crete, established his own business practise in Dominique Enterprises.
Although Cid was oblivious, Cassie despised him for running away. In every action he took she saw a man who'd turned his back on his people and his family. She began planning a new life mere months after arriving in Liberty, but eventually decided to gain what she could from the situation and remained with her moronic father until graduating from university many years later. She did, however, establish herself a false persona and begin working the Manhattan virtual black markets from the age of fourteen. Her first deals involved hacking her fathers' vast accounts and funding blackmarket arms dealing and distribution efforts throughout the capital, before repaying the aforementioned accounts through a network of bribes and connections which left nary a trace of her activities and letting her personal investments and accounts soar.
Corsair Contact: 808-816 AS - Ages 14-22
After her initial haphazard antics to get back at her father - which largely succeeded without detection from either him or the authorities - Cassie used the contacts she'd gained in her operations to re-establish contact with Crete and her grandfather, who welcomed her back into the fold as his rightful heir - Continuing the family as if Cid had never existed. Her identity as a student in one of the largest cities within Liberty proved invaluable for information gathering, and for many years she was a go-between for many Corsair related activities. On the outside she remained dedicated to her studies, achieving high grades and qualifications merely for the opportunity and amusement of doing so. At age seventeen she received no less than four offers to enlist in police or military-backed academies among a plethora of other corporate interests, but declined them all.
She graduated from the Manhattan First Institute of Technology in 816 AS at the age of twenty-two, but wasted little time remaining in New York. With several million credits amassed throughout her blackmarket operations during her stay in Liberty, she left without so much as a farewell to a father that barely noticed her presence at the best of times, and returned to Crete's open arms.
Present: 817 AS - Age 23
Once again an official citizen of Crete, Cassie had herself initiated into the ranks of the Corsairs as soon as possible. While she is in the employ of her grandfather, many of her actions are independent or else contracted by other Corsairs. She has yet to devote herself to any particular cause or faction.
Ships
Prudence - M9 Class Gladiator Corsair Heavy Fighter.
Utilising nearly all of her hard-earned money from her antics in Liberty, Cassie arranged for this custom-built M9 to be ready and waiting for her upon her arrival home in Omicron Gamma. Sure enough, the beautiful vessel was combat ready the moment she reached the hangars of Skiros Station. At first she was wary of it's flaws in comparison to the more dominating M10 Class, but soon she realised it's potential in combat as a superiority fighter. All she needs now is experience.
