Ahh, what the heck, count me in. I'll be a roamer, profile as follows:
Name: Thunder
Race: Kayan
Ship: Miranu Courier, S.S. Psychadelic
Ship specs: Stock weapons plus an extra phase turret, extra armor, and a pursuit missile launcher.
Escorts: None
Profile: Thunder always had a desire to explore the universe. Once he had saved up enough money, he bought a crescent fighter and left his home on Kayia to go exploring. Unfortunately, two systems out, he was ambushed by a fleet of renegade aradas and laziras. Young and inexperienced in battle, his ship was destroyed before he could make it into hyperspace; he barely managed to get in his escape pod and escape. He was picked up by a miranu freighter and found his way to Mira. Over the next few years living on Mira, he managed to find work and get enough money to buy a Miranu Courier. Now he's free to explore the universe once again. But he's also taken battle training and is now has quite a high combat rating (dangerous), and he vows to help others who find themselves falling victim to the renegades...
Continuation: In the Zachit system, a couple Zachit fighters are doing battle with a Renegade lazira. The fighters have the experience advantage, but the Lazira makes up for it with it's power. Thunder notices that all three ships are dipping dangerously low on shields. Seeing his opportunity to repay the renegades for the destruction of his poor crescent fighter four years ago, Thunder opens fire with pursuit missiles and charges the Lazira, Phase turrets blazing. The Zacha take advantage of this unexpected help from this ship with a merchant transponder, moving in for the kill. The Lazira goes up in a ball of flames, escape pods flying everywhere. Over the comm the two Zacha pilots cheer.
In the docking bay of Outpost Zachit, Thunder is approached by one of the Zacha who was fighting the Lazira. "You're the pilot of the S.S. Psychadelic, aren't you? Thanks for the help out there," he says, "That Lazira never knew what hit it."
"No problem," Thunder said. "I had a score to settle with the renegades since they destroyed my crescent fighter."
As the Zacha turns to walk away, Thunder stops him. "Wait, can I ask you something?"
"Sure, go ahead."
"Over the past few years, I've seen quite a few stories on the news, and even in person, of innocent merchants and helpless civilian ships being attacked and destroyed by renegades. I myself was a victim of their attacks, nearly dying in the assult. Now I'm lucky enough to have my own Miranu Courier and the battle experience to strike back at the renegades."
"What are you trying to say?" The Zacha asked, impatiently.
"What I'm saying is that I'd like to join the Zachit. Could you help me arrange that?"

A hatch opened up and the aliens said,
"We're sorry to learn that you soon will be dead,
But though you may find this slightly macabre,
We prefer your extinction to the loss of our job."
