Background
Nikita Smirnow was born aboard the Last Frontier to a Russian-Ukrainian family.
During the Beta Age, Nikita was a Free State Courier Rider, part of a loose network of freelance couriers vital to connecting exohuman settlements. He served as a messenger for the Volunteer Army of Man during the Great War, delivering critical information and supplies across dangerous territories. Nikita was known for his skillful riding and ability to navigate treacherous landscapes.
However, after the Peace Treaty was signed and the Federal Confederation was established, Nikita’s fortunes changed. Accused of losing cargo under suspicious circumstances—while claiming he had been robbed—GAIA refused to assign him to the Federal Courier Service. Instead, he was reassigned to the Federal Pottery in Morningstar, a job he saw as an insult to his skills and ambitions. Feeling betrayed and constrained, Nikita chose to break free from society altogether.
Since 2633, Nikita has lived as a Loner, surviving on the Dark Side through scavenging, theft, and occasional contracts with outlaw factions. His past as a courier and messenger has equipped him with unmatched knowledge of VOI 700 D's terrains and Trade Routes, making him a formidable and elusive presence in the region.
