Term 1: Unable to gain entry in the Imperial Navy, Omaltdoy'tsart instead submits himself to a draft lottery from several allied navies, and joins the Navy of The Commonality of Kedzudh, a Human/Vargr buffer state coreward of the Spinward Marches.
He enrolls in the Flight assignment, and after initial training is posted to Courier duty as a backup pilot for a Scout Class vessel relaying dispatches and information back to Imperial forces as part of cooperation agreements.
He is promoted to Able Spacehand, and then Commissioned to Ensign.
Term 2: Continuing as a courier, Ensign Yuftro moves from backup to primary pilot. He is approached to make credits on the side by carrying contraband, but refuses, duly reporting the incident and earning a promotion to Sublieutenant.
Term 3: Malt realizes he's not likely to be leaving his current service and begins thinking about life after the Navy. He joins a gambling circle, looking to build up his reserves for later on, but loses badly. Still, he learns to be better at the process, which will aid him later in life.
He doesn't ignore his primary career, however, and takes a stint as a fighter pilot, his low mass giving just a bit of an acceleration advantage. He also begins to study more specialized armors, thinking that he may need exoskeletal support as he ages.
Continuing his rapid rise through the ranks, he is promoted to full Lieutenant.
Term 4: Concentrating on once again on his career, Lieutenant Yuftro begins to cross-train in Engineering while continuing to advance his Flight skills. When his vessel is involved in repulsing a Vargr raid, Omaltdoy'tsart's small size makes him instrumental in getting into the guts of the drives for quick damage control.
This results in his promotion to Commander and a transfer to Bridge crew on the sole Capital ship in the area, where he begins studies of Naval Tactics, and dreams perhaps of commanding his own vessel
Term 5: Promoted to Captain, Omaltdoy'tsart leads a punitive raid against the home base of the Vargr raiders.
However, he begins to feel the effects of age creeping up on him, and having achieved his goal of command, Omaltdoy'tsart realizes it is time to once again become a wanderer, and see all that he can see before him time is over. Reluctantly, Captain Yuftro retires, looking back on a good career.
