In a distant dusty corner of the neverending wastes, a man has cometh. Out of the shadows rises a giggle, a cackle, a .mrau.
Once the charming and charismatic captain of a fleet of privateers, Jacob Fii's luck ran out when the last great war broke out over the desolated planet. His ship was captured and he was conscripted into the navy. Feeling it too dangerous to allow a rogue Captain from a squadron of scallywags to retain command over one of their own much more valuable vessels, he was demoted to the rank of Chief Technician and forced to service the decks of his commander's vessel. Being an experienced captain, Jacob Fii quickly became one with his new ship - learning what every creak, every pipe whistle, every air bubble meant. He could keep that ship afloat somehow.
Sadly, his journey with the navy would not last. His ship was shot down over the desert wastes. He and the ship's cat were the sole survivors and they developed a bond. The cat could catch fish in oases and search out dangerous beasties that would be happy to ravage the Jacob. The Jacob knew which rare desert plants were edible and so fed the cat with Kove berries to keep her alive. They trekked for hundreds of miles before finding an encampment. His uniform, though battered and torn, was of their enemy. He promptly hid his clothes and appeared to them in his pyjamas. It was standard practice to wear Pyjamas under one's uniform for this eventuality, and also to remain warm at high altitude. He was rescued and sent to neutral territory.
Sadly, over this time Jacob had become a little worse for wear in his head. He had spent a considerable amount of time tending to his wounds at the crash site, using broken engine covers as shelters and sucking the water from the soil in the now useless potted plants. Hallucinations had crept into his fragile mind. He envisioned that his cat could speak to him and was always giving him assistance. The potted plants were not so becoming in their conversational skill and proceeded to berate and insult Jacob for his ineptitude. Before long, Jacob had killed and eaten the plants with glee and malice. These hallucinations surrounding potted plants would haunt him till the end of his days.
A stricken and dejected Jacob Fii finally returned to his serving company. By this time, he was not fit for active duty in the navy. His commanding officer assigned him to a dank and broken engine deck aboard a support runabout, an escort. Very few dared to venture into his deck for fear of his crazy laughter and overly irresistible charm. His recovery to health was slow and painful, but eventually he would regain the resolve and strength to crew ships once again as he was meant to - eventually rising to the rank of Commodore in command his heavily armoured guarding vessel, VSS Circumspect. His favourite potted plant, Phillip, sat to his right hand side. Maureen and Doris were too annoying and were put downstairs. His cat still follows him wherever he goes, though woe betide if someone were to ever capture that poor moggy. She knows more military secrets than the rest of the admiralty combined.
His adventure continues to this day.
[EDIT]
Somewhere in between the scribing of this tale and the present day, Jacob Fii ascended to demigodhood and is now known ubiquitously as -Muse- Jacob the almighty and wonderful.
His adventure continues to this day.

Shadak... Want me to give you the The Skies Have No Limits and The Burning Skies Saloon role-play documents? They have been mostly preformatted, and have also been grammatically corrected, for the most part. (I can send you it in .PDF, .txt, .docx, and .pages Format) (.pages is the format I have it in originally, as I use a mac, and have it for free)
