Hard-Luck drew his first blood facing Thrakhath’s armadas as a young Lieutenant onboard the TCS Victory. Unlike most other professional mercenaries, Hard-Luck stayed in the service through the peacetime, flying patrols and escort missions in safe sectors. He left the Space Force in 2679 after being passed over for a squadron command position. His high score belies his apparently erratic piloting abilities. Hard-Luck is known for jinking and rolling in seemingly random directions to avoid enemy fire. Up until now, his luck with such tactics has been exceptionally good.
