Pei Botty, a dedicated human scientist with a penchant for understanding the delicate balance of ecosystems, found himself ensnared in the sinister web of Imperial politics. Tasked as a land surveyor for Imperial expansions, Pei's expertise was exploited by the Empire to further its conquests, regardless of the environmental cost. However, Pei's commitment to his principles made him a liability in the eyes of the Empire when he stumbled upon evidence of their complicity in an ecological disaster on the planet of Chandrila. Framed for the catastrophe, Pei became a fugitive, branded as a traitor to the very cause he once served.

In his darkest hour, Pei was approached by the mercenary company known as the Domum Kor, offering him a chance at redemption in exchange for his services.
