Personality: Derigo is a self confident young man, who has yet to have the years of experience in life to wear down on that confidence. Outgoing with a laid back demeanor, he often prefers to lounge out at spaceports or in a pilot's seat with a book and his late grandpa's pipe. However his favorite thing is to say in the pilot's seat with the roar and vibration of a ships engines reverberating throughout his body. To him its a form of freedom borne out of an escapism complex developed in his late teens.
History: Ever since a young age Derigo had always been fascinated with the stars and spaceships. Something that was easily encouraged by his family and upbringing. Mom had died at a young age from illness leaving him the youngest of three siblings, both of whom were old enough to start learning the family business at the time. However given his much younger age, Derigo was left in the care of his grandpa. With dad off in space with his brother and sister for often weeks on end, Derigo found solace on the docks that his grandpa owned. At first it was rough going, his grandpa was an old Heran who had retired from the life of an outlaw and was strict in his manners. The two often clashed and argued but over time, with the help of his workers on the dock, the pair were able to rear each other in and eventually grew to a mutual trust and need of each other.
Years passed and it finally became time for Derigo to begin his lessons in actual space. At first it was simple tasks and lessons to expand on what he had learned down on the docks. A transport mission here, a retrieval of a ship that loss power there. Simple yet important in their own rights. By now his older siblings had grown old enough to head out on their own, his brother taking command of a small crew and ship to help their father while his sister managed to get a job upon one of the finest cruise lines in the sector. With the pair out on their own, his father turned to him to take under his wing and while Derigo was want to stay behind with his grandfather the prospect of finally being able to go beyond the system of his home was too much to pass up. For the next two years he had a reversal of his previous years, spending much of his time learning how to pilot and perform repairs on the various ships in his father’s fleet while they were on active duty. While not an official operation and not the most legal of ones, his father ran a company that sought to help protect the sector in the general scope of things. There were the occasional encounters with the authorities though they were far fewer than the encounters with pirates and scavengers they normally encountered.
It wasn’t until his seventeenth birthday that things took a turn for the worse. A recent uprising in a nearby planetary system brought about a new wave of civil unrest in the sector. And while it meant business would boom in a sense, one of the early excursions occurred upon a wealthy cruise ship and Derigo’s older sister was said to have died heroically in the battle, crashing a life boat into the bridge of one of the destroyer class ships assailing the world. The following months was a blur of combat, alcohol, pain and loss as his father spearheaded the campaign against the recent insurgents. Many friends and those Derigo called family were killed in the eight month war that ensued and in the end all that was left was but a fraction of the company his father once lead. But with the death of his daughter and the loss of near three fourths of his followers, Derigo’s father fell into a depression and within a year was found dead from an overdose. With their leader gone, Derigo’s older brother stepped up to try to hold what remained of the company together but with the loss of the charismatic leader it was only a matter of a few months before only a handful remained and the company was officially disbanded. Derigo returned to the port he had grown up on with his grandpa only to find that the effects of the war and the collapse of the company had brought hardships upon his kin. There were a few loyal that remained and after a few months and numerous discussions, the docks were sold and the few remaining left into space with Grandpa at the reigns and Derigo at the helm.
