I am CMDR Gene Marine, however that is not my real name, my birth name remains a mystery. Mine is a life lived in intrigue, with no record of my birth parents or where I was born, it is almost as if I simply just came to be.
According to the scientists, the epigenetic clock in my DNA suggests that I was born around the year 3268, I think that sounds about right. My DNA also shows signs of heritable genome editing going back some eleven generations. This led to a rumour that I am a descendent of a cloned Imperial infantry unit, so people started to call me the Gene Marine. Looks like the name stuck. I guess that makes me a mutant or something, I've read ancient Earth stories about those guys, I named my ships after them.
I lived most of my life on stations near the Alioth system. My earliest memory is hearing of the birth of Princess Aisling Duval, I guess I was around 8 years old at the time. It kind of stayed with me because like the Princess, I never knew my mother either, and for the first time in my life I didn't feel quite so alone. As we both grew older the Princess became someone that I admired, someone I respected, we shared a lot of the same values, and I carry that with me as an inspiration while I try to live my life by my own core values of justice, truth, honour, and loyalty. Always striving to be the best that I can be.
Over the years I have worked various jobs onboard stations and megaships, earning credits wherever I could. It had always been a dream of mine to have my own ship one day, to fly out into the black, and in the year 3300 it finally happened. I became the CMDR of my very own ship, a Sidewinder. I named it Cyclops, and it was glorious. Many years later I am now lucky enough have my own fleet of ships, and I frequently venture out into the black, also working as an independent freelancer to earn some extra credits. I found my peace, the place where I belong, in the freedom amongst the stars. Fly safe fellow CMDRs, I hope to see you out in the black sometime o7
