HISTORY
Taro Summers grew up on the bustling, race-obsessed world of Malastare. From a young age, he was enamored with the thrill of podracing, spending his childhood tinkering with makeshift racers and dreaming of competing with the galaxy's best. His natural talent and quick reflexes earned him the nickname "Golden Boy" and he quickly rose through the ranks to become a prominent figure in the podracing circuits.

Despite his success, Taro felt something was missing. The adrenaline of racing no longer satisfied him, and he yearned for a new challenge. When the Galatic Alliance began recruiting skilled pilots for their starfighter corps, Taro saw an opportunity to put his talents to use in a more meaningful way. He left behind the glamorous yet dangerous world of pod racing to join the military, seeking to prove himself in the skies rather than on the race tracks.

Now, as a rookie starfighter pilot, Taro is determined to make a name for himself in the Galatic Alliance Starfighter Corps.
