Hatched the third eldest of three brothers and two sisters, to Tael Roh'i, father, and Irrae Path-Roh'i, mother. The Roh'i family operated a family trading business out of Tionisla for many generations, and still do, though to a lesser degree as of late; the family Boa was destroyed by a pirate gang, taking Tael, Irrae, and a younger brother with it.

Derik was engaged in his own trading ventures when he heard the news. Immediately, he set about equipping his battered, used Cobra 3, with revenge burning in his soul. Thus began Derik's career as a ruthless slayer of pirates. A bounty hunter.

Getting involved in the test pilot program of Pteradyne Tech, Inc was of no small consequence; though the work of flying unproven prototype spacecraft was risky, the pay was good, and cemented Derik's career path. The Cobra could win some furballs, but it was by no means a dedicated combat thoroughbred, and the Pteradyne ships were designed to fight.

This eventually led to Derik's star-ride of choice, a Dragon heavy fighter, dubbed the Lady Tiomat - Tiomat being a dragon from an old Earth legend Derik read of while in the Academy. Derik fitted the Tiomat with an AI, as the ship needed a second crewbeing to serve as a technician. This worked out well, but eventually proved to be a costly mistake; the AI proved too stupid to keep up with exceptionally demanding tasks.

Derik eventually had the Tiomat upgraded to an M variant, and repainted in a striking gold and deep purple motif. At this time, the AI was replaced with a felinoid ex-hacker, Raminia "Cyberkitten" DeFloreza, a spunky little leonic that proved to be a quite talented technician.

Legal history:

- 12 minor moving violations, fines paid in full, all charges cleared.

- Accused of 2 counts of shooting down innocent traders during combat with aggressive pirates, but never proven, case dismissed. Derik's flight recorder was damaged and offlined during the battle. Derik was not able to collect the bounty pay.

- Thought to have been involved in the Orrora Orb invasion incident. Facts unknown, due to military coverup. Derik denies ever seeing an Orb.

Trivia:

- Known to snipe targets at long range, rarely engages at close ranges.

- Known to have a taste for Onatian Bloodwine, chocolate-covered fried Lavian tree grubs, and flame-grilled BBQ trumble burgers.

- Defines Zero-Gee sports as "Like a perpetual motion machine, it simply doesn't work and wastes everyone's time". Defines docking computers as "Murphy's Law Incarnate: Prone to go wrong at the most inappropriate moment".

- Defines Boyracers as "Target drones with a laser, a mouth and an attitude, but a milligram of brain and even less sense".

- Sometimes seen speaking with, and trading in small quantities of salvaged spare parts, tools, and liqueur with another space operating reptiloid, a presumed business associate. In common reptiloid spacer custom, the two often greet each other as 'cousin'. Derik is suspected of quietly protecting this associate from other bounty hunters.
