User:Smivs

A long time ago, in a Galaxy far, far away a young Commander known only as Smivs cut his teeth in a Cobra spacecraft trading goods and collecting bounties to earn an honest crust. He enjoyed this life for just a few brief years before disappearing, it seemed forever.
No one knew what had happened or where he had gone, but rumours were that his ship's C64 flight computer had failed on a mission leaving him stranded at the back end of nowhere.

And then, one day he miraculously returned, flying an Iron-Ass Boa Clipper with a much more reliable custom-built flight system, and set about cleaning up the Ooniverse (and doing a nice bit of trade on the side).
People sometimes ask Commander Smivs (or Smivs the Brave as some friends know him) where he had been, what he had seen and done in the intervening years, but they never get an answer. The mystery, the enigma will most likely never be explained. All we know is that the Boy has grown into a Man, and he now strides the Ooniverse like a Colossus, banishing Evil, acting as a force for Good, and generally making loads of money and having a damn good time.
