Dimitri Lev was born into wealth and privilege, the scion of a proper Londinium family, and raised on the notion that Unification was as inevitable as the stark cold of the Black.
'''Homeworld:''' Londinium
 
Yet, even before the war, and much to his family's dismay, Lev was already swimming neck deep in the anti-unification counterculture that had sprung up among certain affluent youth of the Core. Attending rallies, staging protests, and using his skill with computers to undermine the Alliance agenda was just ''de rigueur du jour''.

But things didn't go as planned.

In his third week of training, Lev's jump shuttle was shot down in a ''police action'' initiated by an alliance gunship, and the doctors told him he'd never fly again.


That should have been the end of it, but a singularly plain looking man in a beat up leather jacket and aviator shades visited him in the hospital and offered to pay for his rehabilitation and put him back in a cockpit. Instead of shipping home in disgrace, Lev endured months of experimental procedures and intense therapy as they grafted muscle and bone and flesh and slowly stitched him back together.

Security Operations [Sec-Ops] signed him straight from the facility, and he flew for them until the end of the war.

But everyone - in the black or under the clear blue - gotta eat, so I make my way squeezed into tiny galleys slinging chow for bastards as bastardy as me, and when cookin ain't needed I got other skills what's useful enough to claim my share of our jobs.

Personal Summary

I fought proudly on the side of the Independents for the most reasonable of reasons.

There was this girl.

Things did not go smooth. First mission dirtside, landmine killed her so hard she died to death right there in the mud. Me? By then I was in too deep to get out and nowhere particular to get out to.

That was my first battle, and it lasted for days. Was my last battle as infantry though. Sucked seven bullets outta me after that scrap. Turns out, while I make a respectable showing in back alley dust-ups and friendly barroom brawls, I'm fer shite in a proper battlefield battle with guns and the like.

Spent the rest of the war shipboard on smaller vessels as quartermaster - procuring fuel, ammo, foodstuffs - whatever we had a need for. Got good at bargaining and deals and trading favors.

War's over now, and after half a year in an Alliance POW camp, they cranked out Amnesty and cut me loose.

I'm still fixated on shipboard life, but I don't really fit aboard the sort of vessels that can pocket for an actual quartermaster in peacetime. I'm a bit of a git. I rub folk the wrong way, and ships with the cred for quartermasters tend to stockpile it from serving fancy folk who don't much care for being rubbed wrong.

But everyone - in the black or under the clear blue - gotta eat, so I make my way squeezed into tiny galleys slinging chow for bastards as bastardy as me, and when cookin ain't needed I got other skills what's useful enough to claim my share of our jobs.
