Backstory: Mattias grew up in the void, it's all he's ever known and the general idea of going down onto a planet was utterly terrifying to the man, a fact he would never admit to anyone. Coming from a poor family caught in the gears of progress he learned all there was about living in space, working in space and hiding in the void.
It didn't matter what local political body said, out in the black nobody was safe. It was as close to the lawless nature of the west back on Earth in the 1860's and the only way a miner could survive was to hide and be tricky. His dad, a man of generally few words unless he was a bottle or two in taught Mattias all there was about being tricky, how to turn the smallest spare bolt or nut into a weapon of impressive power but while that triggered a curiosity in the boy it did little to fill the desire that came with warships.
For years he dreamt about joining up, becoming a fighter jockey or commanding his own ships but as the years turned and the rock crumbled so to did his dreams. He joined up with IMC a few years back now, working remote mining jobs, typical surveying and long stretches of quiet. Spending his off time on using the shipboard 3D programming to design and tweak ships. He found it provided some nice side income whenever IMC decided to purchase a design and toss it into a folder where it would go and die but Mattias didn't care. It kept him flush with bottles and enough credits to get whatever he wanted which was commonly very little.
When he was onboarding into IMC he was, like all other Rock Jockey's given a designation. His was Code Seven Seven Epsilon Gamma and he had spent years going by this designation only and that he was pretty sure there wasn't a soul left alive who knew his real name.
Which suited him fine, all he cared about was find the next deposit and getting paid.
