History
The Space Cabbie was born in the early 22nd Century, orphaned at a young age and then raised by the military rulers of the planet Ghengkis VII. As a young man he excelled in deep space navigation an demonstrated natural gifts as a pilot of his craft.
His skills were further tested in the "Bore Wars" of 2146, when the young pilot shot down a record number of fighters single handedly over a period of 3 days. Like many others who were freed from military service after the "Bored War" Space Cabbie found himself restless.
For the next few years, he went adventure seeking around the cosmos, becoming at first a mercenary space pilot, and then a menial laborer at one of the many spaceports he visited. In the year 2154, he suddenly showed up at an Earthside hackstand piloting the space taxi #7433.
It soon seemed that Space Cabbie could not pick up a fare in #7433 without it leading to some kind of deadly adventure, with the good natured pilot relying on his skill and wits to get him safely back home.
