CITIZEN DOSSIER

Captain Rex "Tonjo" Starforge was born in Lorville, Hurston, into the grind of corporate labor. At 12, he stole a noble’s personal ship, launched it through a private hangar, and cut off a fleet admiral in orbit—earning the callsign Tonjo, a Xi’an word meaning “ghost” or “untouchable.” Recruited into the UEE Naval Flight Academy for his raw talent, Tonjo specialized in recon and evasive tactics. He was court-martialed after disobeying orders to save civilians during a black-ops mission in the Tiber system, leading to the loss of a destroyer and his discharge. Branded ungovernable, he disappeared into the fringe, becoming a smuggler, courier, and rogue pilot. He salvaged and rebuilt the Storm Angel—a derelict Anvil Carrack—and carved out a legend across the outer systems. Later, he discovered and resurrected CNS-4711, a lost Polaris-class corvette from Tiber. Renamed The Last Ember, the ship is rumored to be haunted, prophetic, and tied to buried UEE secrets. Tonjo flies with no flag—only purpose.
