HISTORY

Starker was an asteroid miner in an alternate future 21st Century, where stellar travel began in the 1960s due to the discovery of the Bridwell Drive. Accompanied by his 8 year old son, John, the two were ambushed by space pirates. After murdering his father, the younger Starker was taken as a cabin boy and lived among the pirates, learning their ways and biding his time. After eleven years, the now hardened young man single-handedly took control of the vessel, killing many of the men who murdered his father years before. Turning in the remaining pirates, he began his career as the preeminent space-faring bounty hunter in the known universe.
