Space Scrappers
While interstellar travel no longer a new thing, accidents and tragedies are still as frequent as if it were still in its earlier stages. From massive ships to one-man space crafts, many vehicles are destroyed and left suspended in the middle of nowhere in space. In order to help clean up the galaxy, whether its for returning lost belongings, collecting spare parts, or simply to clean up the galaxy for smoother travel, the Space Scrappers were formed to take care of all needs related to drifting space ships.
Turo Argento
A space scrapper, whose job is to seek out abandoned spacecrafts and space stations in order to salvage parts, goods and materials. He also has a knack for plumbing and tinkering with machines. Always positive, Turo is always ready to help those that need it. In his downtime though, he might act a bit more mellow and cynical, especially if he's under the influence.
Turo is one of the few remaining survivors of a massive epidemic from his home planet which virtually turned everyone, including his family, into zombies. While the zombified planet is under containment, the Andromeda Universal Alliance is debating on whether or not to exterminate all former life on that planet. Meanwhile, Turo is on the fence of this issue. He is unsure whether he is dealing with the undead who should simply be wiped out before they can infect another planet, or a suffering populace that deserves a chance to be saved.
Zuben Bounty Hunting Agency
Got a criminal you can't catch? Need to protect some important persons? Throughout the galaxy, you can always turn to your local bounty hunters for help. There are plenty of reputable agencies out there that have taken on many high profile jobs. Some even working close with the police. As a result, those held in high regard won't take on any jobs that they deem 'small' or 'not worth their time.'
However, if you really are in a pinch, and maybe a bit hard on cash, you can always count on the "Zuben Bounty Hunter Agency." This group of eccentric bounty hunters advertise that they are willing to take on any job no matter how big or small. They'll take anything as minor as clearing out a farm of dangerous pests or delivering a package from one planet to another under the radar. You could say that they're more like odd-jobbers as opposed to real bounty hunters. But they still take down bad guys from time to time. What else would they use those weapons for?
They say this business attracts a lot of weirdos and headcases. Well, this group might just be one of the nuttiest in the galaxy. Despite how weird they might seem, they are always reliable (for the most part).
