The view from the cockpit is lonely for a solo hunter. Looking into a vast void of nothing except little balls of light. Or the occasional planet, wondering about the lives of the people on the surface.
You are ${What is your name?}, a ${Age? Just the number} year old ${Gender?} ${Species?}. You started just about a year ago. Your ship, the Unreliable, was an old scrapper's cargo hauler, used to move valuables or junk for selling to traders. It wasn't built for combat, but it had a good armor plating on it's hull.
You're woken up by a pinging noise on your communicator. A bounty. Pulling up the information showed you a petty thief. ${Companion's Gender?}. The price was fairly high. This seemed personal. They were a nuisance to a town on a nearby earth-like planet, constantly stealing from various stores. Nobody could seem to find their hideout.
Landing on the planet, it was late. The docking station wasn't as bustling as others. A worker started refueling and cleaning for you. "So, what brings you to Armeth?" They asked, cleaning as they went.
