Dizzy was born to a struggling family of farmers on Crussius VI, an agricultural planet owned and operated by the Grow Corporation. Grow Corp. is a manufacturer of health conscious nutrient foodstuffs, most famously NutriBrik. Being such a large corporation in the Core Worlds provides a few advantages, such as being able to purchase entire planets to terraform and use to create the raw material needed to produce a product. With total and undivided ownership of the planet and all it's resources, including the inhabitants, Grow Corp set about creating wages and inccentives for the poplulation to produce for them; namely the ability to live planetside and not be deported to parts unknown.
All farmers on Crussius VI struggle constantly to make ends meet, with ever increasing production demands and minuscule pay left over after all housing and food costs, and Dizzy's family was no different. With the unfortunate strife and toil of work came a small glimmer of hope, the recruiters from the Colition of Progenial Planets Armada. The CPP is the organized governmental bodies of the Core Worlds in charge of all of humankind. Dizzy quickly jumped at the chance to join the Armada which promised travel, adventure, and most importantly a steady income for Dizzy and his family.
The Armada ran Dizzy through a number of tests in order to place him where he would be of most use. Although he had never flown previously, Dizzy proved to be a natural pilot. He was taken through many training courses, culminating in placement into the 527th Planetary Defense Force. He was one of the dozen pilots and navigators of the CPPS Octavio Malikai, the first of the Eradicator Class, a mobile base of operations that could house an entire fleet. Mostly the ship was used as a show of force and innovation, rarely used for anything more than the garrisonsed defence of a system.
In his time with the Armada, Dizzy learned a few things, namely how to do his job and shoot things, that the busy core worlds and expanse systems were much more interesting than his humble farm world in the frontier, and that he had a slight problem with authority. After only a few years in the Armada Dizzy jumped ship to pursue his own interests. He was taken in by a friendly old Trader who needed a pilot desperately. In return for his services, Dizzy got a livable wage and was taught the ins and outs of the trade.
Eventually the trader ended up like most of his kind, retired comfortably, and Dizzy found himself on his own for the first time in a long while. Using his narrow skillset Dizzy's been able to make a living skipping across systems and running/trading various goods for both noble and unsavory types. It's a living, but Dizzy's true dream is to get a ship and crew together so he can experience more of the Great Expanse and send back more money to his family.
