Bio
Mike “8bit” Murdoc, was born into poverty and a dangerous life on Castor (Corel IV) in the Corel system. By pure chance, a UEE recruiter had visited their poignant community with promises of glory, honor, and riches and Mike then made the difficult decision to leave his family a mining-hand short and join the military. Serving honorably in the UEE, his friends called him “Doc” and occasionally “8bit” for his bizarre love of retro video games; many so old that they even predated humankind’s first departure from Terra! With those credits, additional compensation from the military, and a very a substantial loan…there were no longer any ties convincing him to remain on Castor, so he decided to take to the stars with a MISC Freelancer Max to make the fortune his family could never dream of. Though raised under severe conditions on an unforgiving world, Mike remains naively honest and helpful with everyone he meets.
