Cassia Green was born into a community of algae farmers on the agricultural water world Verdant #### :B9685612 AG WA. Most of the planets inhabitants were organized into small familial units tasked with tending one of the many shallow growing pools spread across the planet’s equatorial region. These vast green pools were many hectares across but never more than a meter in depth and were filled with a thick soup of plant matter which was periodically harvest and processed into a nutritional powder used as the base material for all matter of foodstuff used by the Imperial military and other spacers across the universe.

The inhabitants of Verdant practiced collective child rearing and from a very young age Cassia could be found in company of one of her mothers or fathers working the growing pools. Cassia, more commonly referred to as Cas, had a quiet upbringing and was taught the how to become an algae farmer. She was fairly average in stature but was tough and could spend hours working out in the hot humid environs surrounding the algae pools. She had a knack for mechanics and learned how to drive and repair the various skimmers and algae harvesters needed on the farm. During the endless hours of operating the aeration crawlers that slowly crossed the pools, Cassia’s mind wandered and she imagined a more adventurous life for herself somewhere, anywhere, other than on Verdant ####.

So, when she turned 18 she decide to get off planet when the spring harvest was finished. After loading the last container of nutrient powder on the Imperium transport freighter she convinced the captain to allow her to stay on board. The trip through space was by far the most exciting thing that had ever happened to her. When she arrived a the ships destination she sought out the Military Academy to become a Marine.

Term 1) Cas failed her entrance examine to the military academy. Her life as an algae farmer on a backwater agricultural world did not adequately prepare her for the vigors of officer training. Despite flunking the test, her interview with the admissions officer went well. Evidently, they saw some potential in the young farmer and sent her information over to a friend in the Scout program. Somewhat surprisingly she was drafted to be a scout.

Basic Training was tough. Cas was far behind many of the other people drafted with her. Those long hours spent tending the algae pools of Verdant #### gave her grit, stamina, and drive. She worked longer hours and studied later into the night than almost anyone else she knew. All that hard work paid of and was given a mission to survey a remote corner of system thought to be empty of anything interesting. On this mission disaster struck and Cas was ambushed by a hostile enemy ships. Once again, she relied on her endurance as she pushed her body and ship to it’s limits to out run and evade pursuit. During her escape she put her ship through a variety of high G maneuvers and navigated through the center of a nebula to confuse the pursuers sensors. To stay alive she had to make any number of fixes to the ship’s electronics, mechanical systems, sensory array, and succeed problem solving any number of non-ship issues. When she eventually returned to port many weeks late, severely dehydrated, but otherwise no worse for wear (thank goodness for that container of powdered algae she always carries) she felt as though she could take on the universe single handed.

Term 2) Cas’s Rank 1 Scout uniform had was still at the tailors when she received a new assignment. Evidently, another scout exploring the fringes of charted space had discovered a variety of anomalies which indicated the presence of an unknown Alien species. In light of Cas’s last run in with Aliens, the service thought she could be of use in this situation. This turned out to be a prescient decision and she was able to gather an abundance of information about the aliens thanks in part to the sensor skills she developed during her escape. The stream of data she provided earned her a friend in the imperium.

Term 3) Cas was only 26 and had found an exciting career in the Scouts. Things were going well for her but she new that bad things happened to scouts on the fringes of Chartered space. It hadn't escaped her notice that there weren't many old or even middle aged scout still flying. After much soul searching she decided to reenlist with the scouts for one more term. She was so close to entering into the elite club of being a Senior Scout.

She should have listened to her gut. Her last four years spent alone and isolated on the fringes of space did some to her. She found it increasingly more and more difficult to reintegrate into society upon returning from a mission. Her superiors noticed, they had seen this happen too many times before, and forced her to take an early retirement.

After spending so much time, more than half her life, exploring the outer reaches of space with nothing other than her ship as company, she couldn’t beat the thought of being stuck down a gravity well. So, she cashed in every favor owed to her and with some help from an old Ally and a hell of a lot of luck she managed to keep her trusty scout ship. Now if she could only figure out ac way to pay for fuel…
