Marooned on Giri Minor

You left your homeworld of Usul because you wanted to serve, and to be a part of something larger than yourself. You know you have no future toiling away in your family's gava rice fields, but it's not like you have any job prospects lined up outside the Astral Navy. Therefore you elect to remain in the service.

On the other hand, after your experiences on the EWR210819 and Giri Minor, you are convinced that space travel is not your cup of tea, so you further decide to find a new--and more stationary--assignment.

Therefore when the Orion docks at Star Base Ishtria and you disembark, you are intrigued to learn of an open position here on the station. You would be part of a maintenance crew in charge of repairing ships, acquiring much technical knowledge along the way. Ishtria seems like a well-managed base, and the other enlisted men and women you speak with all seem to enjoy being stationed here. Furthermore, the Fifth Fleet is far from Iib Ch'iib space, so the risk of an enemy raid is low.

You are surprised to find that your recent experiences have made you a minor celebrity here, so when you speak to a non-com about putting in for the maintenance position, he mentions you to his lieutenant, and she in turns pulls a few strings on your behalf. In the end, these kind acts by people you never met before help you land the job.
