Bio
Antikas grew up on a mining colony on Axiom. It was never something that he excelled at, but mining was all he knew for much of his early life. He comes from an old family; one that was funded in the early days of the Eternian expansion; rich and influential. They established mining colonies and outposts throughout known space, but losses incurred by pirates and Eternian extortion drove the family to an impoverished state. And so Antikas grew up on a colony that his own family had founded years ago, mining with primitive tools along with the rest of the colony\'s inhabitants just to make ends meet.
Antikas had always harboured ill-feeling towards the Eternian authorities, considering that they drove his family into the ground. He has always dreamed of what the old days must have been like, and yearned for a time when his family name would once again be synonymous with pride and success. By his early twenties Antikas had grown weary of the humdrum day-to-day of mining valuable ores for a pittance and so, despite his contempt for Eternia, Antikas joined the Eternian military; an organisation renowned for its generous pay.
Years passed. It soon became obvious to Antikas why the pay was so good; it was incentive to keep quiet about the atrocities these soldiers were ordered to commit. Antikas became quiet, dispondent. His depression would be something he would never properly resolve, but something he was always able to cope with.
Antikas has been serving for nearly twenty years, first as the tail-gunner of a fighter-bomber and now as the Chief Tactical Officer of an attack cruiser. He\'s fought in many campaigns against rebels and insurrectionists, not caring whether what he was doing was wrong. His military career was a blur that came into full focus upon bombardment, on his order, of a mining colony on Axiom. He had destroyed his home. Whether he had killed old friends and colleagues he neither knew nor did he especially care. Not any more. He resigned from the military, but with nowhere to go, Antikas looked to the horizon.
Plans
Intending to rebuild the splendour of his family, Antikas will create a mining empire using the funds he acquired from years of loyal service. He knows what caused the old family to crumble and is determined to not make the same mistakes. Each mining vessel will be a battleship in its own right; equipped to fend off pirates, reavers, and any others who would attempt to leech his riches.
