Quick background history : muc as was written before:
Planat far far away, recently revisited by a scout explorer for the first time after the long night.
The planat has descended to barbarism, TL 4.
The character is the son of a lord, and was one of the few that dared visit the site were a glowing star fell grom the sky last night. He discouvers an escape pod with a severely wounded scout in it. The scout recovers after a long winter in wich he had nothing else to do but fill the young warriors head with fanct tales of the empire. When spring returns they return to the escape pod and start repairing the power and the radio, the scout teaching the young warrior as he scrounges the ship for spare parts to make the damn thing work again.
The signal gets picked up by a search team out looking for the scout, and the scout get picked up, along with the young barbarian who just cannot let this opportunity slip.
He works hard and get accepted at university on a scholarship sponsered by the scouts. He earns his masters degree in Xenobiology and joins the scouts afterwards.
He works mainly as a planetside explorer, and accompagnies scientist and other scouts on missions on the frontier.
In his last mission as a scout his old friend gets killed in a tense border situation in a last attempt to make piece. Enraged by the cowardly murder, and knowing that the scouts must remain neutral, he offers his resignation. His commander understands,accepts his temporarely resignation and directs him towards a merc group he knows will soon be deployed in the area.
After four bloody years as a merc he realises that vengeance will never bring back his old friend. He leaves the mercenaries and returns to the civilised world, looking for new opportunities.
