Fiction

El Viejo

El Viejo's Decal

El Viejo, as he is known, was born on Zaquesso, a beautiful planet in G5, many years ago. The seventh child of an inveterate gambler and his long-suffering wife, he was running numbers by the age of ten. Few people know his real name… he came by his moniker playing poker in seedy bars, a ‘career’ he embarked upon at the age of fourteen. It started out as a sarcastic remark about his youth, thrown across the card table where he had just taken a very large pot, but it stuck, as these things often do, and he became El Viejo. One night, after five years of this dubious and highly uncertain lifestyle, which took him all over Zaquesso, he found himself in The Final Eight, a small, dimly-lit bar in Spacetown. There he fell into conversation with an old spacer, and after a long night of drinking evil juice and talking, the old spacer took him up to the station, onto his ship… and on out to the stars.

He proved to be a natural pilot and combateer, and after less than a year as the old spacer’s XO, he had earned enough credits to buy his own ship… a vintage Cowell & MgRath Cobra Mk III, which he named Rolling Thunder. Adopting the flight name Commander Cody, the young man took to the spacelanes of the Eight as a privateer, fought his way to Elite rank, and is now a veteran combateer. Often wearing a battered old sombrero, and invariably smoking a colita, he is a well known figure in most station bars, from Riedquat to Lazaso… and beyond.

Over the years, whispers have been heard in spacer bars about a mysterious squadron, known as the Free Mexican Airforce, and El Viejo’s involvement in it. It is rumoured that he holds the rank of Colonel in this squadron, and he is suspected of being a major contrabandista, but to this day, he has never been caught (though he has paid many fines for forced docking, and been sent for ‘attitude adjustment’ on several occasions). Some say this is because he has ‘connections’ with Her Imperial Majesty’s Space Navy and GalCop, others say that he’s just too good.

When not exploring the backwater systems of the Eight, or sitting in some seedy spacer bar, playing poker or getting rat-assed on evil juice, he can be be found aboard his beloved starship Rolling Thunder, in the far deep space of Zaquesso system, writing his memoirs… and planning his next expedition.
