From Technomancer

You were first in your class at the Terran Interstellar Naval Academy, and performed valiantly when you saw action during the Akkardan War. As the youngest Commander in the entire fleet, you would have seen Admiral before 40...
...if you hadn't been court martialed for aiding and abetting a smuggling operation. What can you say? Smugglers paid well, and you weren't going to pay those gambling debts off on a military salary.

So now you sit in a bar at a space dock, staring at your Commander's bars in one hand, and the bill of sale on the used Star Runner you just purchased in the other. You contemplate your next move.

• Smuggling's been good to you. You'll head to the Dust Nova to mingle with scum and maybe find a job.
• You've got to clear your name! Talk to your old captain and see if he can help.
