Choose a name and gender for your character. You are from Andor, the oldest nation on Procyon. Andor was originally settled from Earth's Western European region. Your name and appearance should reflect that history.
Earth society may have ossified into a rigid caste system, but Procyon has retained its freedom and vibrancy. Naturally, Procyon has its winners and losers, but overall a child born here has a greater potential than anywhere else in human space. The Uploads have their place in Procyon society, but they don't enjoy the unhealthy dominance that they did on Earth.
The Belters are your natural allies. Many of Procyon's people and most prominent corporations have their roots in the pioneering spirit of the Outer Planets.
The Esperanzan espers terrify you. The worst of humanity seem to have fused with something chillingly alien and wrong, to produce an incomprehensible threat to everything you know and love.

Born on Procyon in 2672 CE, into a wealthy family. Your home city is Laikan, capital of the Old Andorians. Your mother was an important judge, and your father a famous media star. You were fiercely intelligent, yet inattentive at school. You achieved less-than-stellar grades, and even your family's wealth was unable to buy you a place at a prestigious University.

Determined to make a name for yourself, you joined up with Andor's prestigious Space Marine force. The Andorian Marines had served with distinction 60 years previously, during the 5th Xa War, and were still responsible for garrisoning a number of defeated Xa worlds.
Sadly, your commander was jealous of your famous name. She contrived to make your life a misery, and forced you to quit the service, after only a single term. To this day, you nurse a fierce resentment against her. [Rival: Captain (Now Colonel) Marla McLintock]
Recon-0, Deception, Leadership, Admin
Despondent at failing your chosen path, you decide to fall back upon your family privileges. You take a job with Andor Inc., a prestigious corporation. Your military training makes you an ideal candidate for the corporate security force.
You first assignment is undercover, rooting out corruption in the firm's legal offices.
Investigate, Stealth, Rival: Louis Van Droogenbroeck, now Director of Building Fabrication Division
Your undercover operations continue. You help to bring down a huge conspiracy of corrupt officials. Your notable successes are recognised with a promotion. One of the chief ringleaders escapes prosecution, and uses their position to try and undermine your career. Fortunately, your superiors stand by you. [Rival: Louis Van Droogenbroeck, now Director of Building Fabrication Division]
Deception
As you hit your 30s, your priorities shift, and you find the love of your life. They are also an Andor employee. You are married in a lavish ceremony on Earth, and settle down to family life on a liveaboard luxury liner, that perpetually cruises the idyllic Coves.
It is around this time that the Esper takeover on Esperanza starts to hit the headlines. You have little inkling that these events happening a dozen light years away might one day threaten your own way of life.
Investigate, Drive, Deception, -1 str, -1 dex
You are promoted to Field Agent. You are becoming an expert in undercover work (Deception skill). When not involved in field operations, you teach classes at Andor Inc.'s Security School. As your experience grows, you start to feel your age slowing you down.
Deception, +1 int
Despite all of your experience, you fall victim to organised scammers who steal a large sum of money from you. Furious with them, and with yourself, you spend months of your personal time hunting them down... but you only find dead ends.
The Emergency on Earth grows more serious. Andor Inc. joins the Procyon Defence Alliance, in order to help defend Procyon, if Earth should fall. As a corporate security agent, you are exempt from the general military call-up.

Your quixotic pursuit of the gang who robbed you continues to bear no fruit. However, your investigations stumble upon something even bigger: A major conspiracy of Esperanzan telepaths, aimed at undermining Andor Inc.'s Board of Directors. The Espers are captured and imprisoned. You are promoted to Special Agent.
Even though your efforts have helped to protect Procyon from the Next Step radicals, Earth is less fortunate. Espers finally seize control of the Earth Union, and brutally crush the last few nations who stand against them. Waves of refugees begin to arrive.
