 Marcan Rayger was born in 3216 on Mars, in the Sol system as the second child of three. His father worked as a lawyer in the city of Quennisset and his mother remained home, preferring to raise the three children - two sons and one daughter - personally.
-When he turned 15, Marcan was moved to the Eta Cassiopeia military school where he developed an interest in space combat tactics and fighter piloting after a period of intensive melee combat training. He scored above average in several combat simulations and was consequently assigned to a secret Navy base close to the Empire frontier under the command of Sergeant Emic Troy.
