Biography
Being fanatic of everything that can fly from an early age, Miro quickly assimilated the basis of starship piloting and developed a constant thirst of knowledge about this subject ever since. Not a surprise when you've been raise near a spaceport... discovering early the joy of flying, his uncle and his father operated a nice workshop at the local landing pad since his grandfather passed away. They named it "The Horned Pathfinder." Learning skills on different ship and vehicle helped him greatly to be a better pilot, fine tuning his skills and improving his reflexes. Born and raised on the Iktotch Moon also contributed to his reputation of being a great pilot. Beside that, he also developed hunting skills, often going on safari hunting trip with the mature males of the colony where I belong to. He is known for his patience, perseverance and the ability to keep focus no matter what is going on around me, keeping the situation under control at all time. Only the intelligent live...
At the age of 18, he sold the jolting uncle's Ginivex to a fool who seems to didn't care for his life, an Arcona with glowing golden eyes... Barely enough for a cup of bantha milk... but who cares! The galaxy was his now!!!
He enlisted himself on the kilometer-long Colossus-class Heavy Liner "Rhode" as a repairman at first, ascending to better job in reward of his excellent work. During his time onboard he learned his martial combat abilities, honed both tactical and strategic skills by training with the small but effective security team that was assign to the ship and practicing with them every time it was humanly possible, most of the time even more. From a maintenance boy he grew up in rank from Assistant Engineer and later Flight Officer, flying the various shuttle and freighter that was use to refuel the immense ship. During a particularly violent boarding attempt made by very well organized pirates, where over half of the ship crew were killed, Miro had been recruited to participate in the last stand against the raiders. They did succeed in holding the ship but at a great cost.Three quarters of the security crew were butchered to save the lives of each other. The ship was then renamed "The Impregnable". After the incident, to commemorate the victory and the sacrifice of those who had given everything to protect it the remaining crew were all given compensation for their acts of bravery. Now, for the ships protection, assigned to it were 2 Tartan Patrol Cruisers and a full squad of Y-Wing Starfighter/Bomber docked inside it, plus the crew received standardized, more powerful equipment that was more than welcomed. Miro served aboard as a Security Flight Officer until he reached his 27th birthday (one year after the event), when he left to realize his childhood dream: exploring the galaxy with his own brand new HWK-290...
Miro visited his homeworld first, and saw his my family that he hadn't had news of for quite a while. His father finally closed the shop after all those years and he still flew his brother's old Ginivex. He managed to buy it back to the junkie Arcona before the fool took it for a final trip... During his stay on Iktotch, Miro sold his Baudo-Class for a good amount of credits and started investing in estate. First a personal residence in the Widek system quickly followed by a tavern and a garage in the Douglas system. He also helped his father to finalize the build up of a old JM5000 that he had bought from a long time friend, back in the days before he left his homeworld. He proudly displays a rare model of the first generation, build with only 2 seats and a huge cargo hold that contain more than typical light freighters. It now serves him as a personal transport and temporary weapon stash.
Personal Life
When not wearing his Tiger Stripes flight equipment, he usually prefers simple but effective khaki utilitarian boiler suit. Having the perfect shape (6 foot, 185lbs) to fit in a cockpit, he quickly developed natural reflexes that allowed him to win quite few "backyard" races ... thanks to his uncle's old beaten-up Ginivex. Unlike most of his species, his skin color goes darker as he grows older. Having being born pale beige his color now begins to turn dark orange, nearly red. Only his horns stay grey and never change. He grooms them with a curve upside-in like his ancestors always did...
He normally prefers to be armed and ready, a CS-12 Stunmaster/Vibroblade and a DL-44/ELG-3A combo are part of his basic equipment along with a Heavy Belt and Large Backpack. If the situation requires it, he carries a strong Riot Shield and wears a Helmet HUD and travels with a DRK-1 Patrol Droid named 'Bark'. If there is long range firefight a A-280 or A-295 Rifle are always strapped on his back, allowing him to be versatile on the battlefield. He has managed to get his hands on some restricted technology, so can often be seen wearing a heavily modified and personalized TIE Fighter flight suit or Stormtrooper armor although he is not Imperial alligned or alligned with any faction in particular. Miro also has the ability to use heavy weapons, depending on any missions where he will deploy various weapon systems.
Travel and Work
When asked about his travelling during an interview Miro responded:
"Places visited so far?....Numerous Space Stations and Shipyards, other Planets and Cities that I can't even remember their name... to much to list them all! I've travelled at the four corners of the Galaxy in the cockpit of many different spaceship."
He explained also that he had joined Veritas Press on Y15 D9 as Ensign. Previous to that he had done mostly freelance work (retreival of personal vehicles/belongings and blastdoors installation), sitting for organisations with the highest paycheck and hoping on other ones to build some things to expand his personal inventory and armory.
His first years were with Cerberus Corp in around Years 9-10, doing mainly logistic but it was for a short period; the faction was in a political turmoil and that reflected in the communication with their workers. Miro then left to work for Rothana Heavy Engineering in Year 10, where he learn production and manufacturing of spaceship of all kind; a job offered by his former boss at C.C., Jango Talon. When R.H.E. had to close it's doors a couple of months later, he was once again jobless and nowhere to go. The next job he found, through the classifieds adds on the holoforum, was with Dark-Night Spacework (old Triumvirate Space Technologies in Years 10-11), where he has gain citizenry and perfected his formation in Starfighter/Freighter piloting and combat under the command of Biowa Gatecross. This faction to had to close after a while, leaving him once again jobless... After he drifted aimlessly through the Galaxy for months onboard his YT-2000, he acquired a small Palace to call home, some smaller facilities and two factories to produce his own items with all his meager economies he had made during his past employment. He has now a complete hunting squad composed of fellow Iktotchi riflemen, whom he trusts the most and two full squads of K-4 security droids to guard his production facilities. While working for Veritas Press, his personal fleet expanded with another BFF-1 Bulk Freighter, doubling his transportation capabilities. Soon, a YV-666 was purchase to help him haul a wider variety of merchandise. A couple of months after (in the begining of year 16), Miro had to be put in cryostasis for an injury he sustain while installing blastdoors aboard his newly acquired BFF-1 Bulk Freighter. It took him over a years of reabilitation to be able to walk again and thanks to his will to survive he can now resume a normal life of adventure...
Ships
Miro is extensively proud of his piloting and ships he owns or has owned during his life, his favorites being his HWK-290 and his YT-2000
