Name: Uzi Haddad (Ozzy Had-dah)
Race: Emyaar
Background: Criminal
Gender: Male
Starting Equipment: 250 Credits, T25-DEP, Personal Shield
Excerpt from a conversation Alaa Bazz had with a friend at a bar in Port Dusk
“Uzi Haddad? Hmm… where to begin… well, I should start from the beginning:
His father was never known, but his mother was an intelligent woman, called Sara Haddad, she would say things like, ‘how are you doing sweetcake?’ and, ‘be successful. ‘cos damn, this planet needs people other than thugs!’ She was quite loving of her children. But she could get really strict sometimes, and she often struggled to make ends meet for her family.
His planet is a small one, called Crehup IV, on the edge of Yaaric space, practically part of the outer rim. It’s extremely cold, so the population relies on heating units and insulation to avoid freezing to death. However, the market for those goods is controlled by a small number of corporations that often make illicit deals with the corrupt planetary government, and the price for them is always extortionate. Combined with the fact that planned obsolescence is built into them and they never last for more than a year or so, most of the population are willing to become wage-slaves to the corporations. After all, freezing is the alternative. The planet is mostly populated by the poor and lower-middle class castes, and was settled because of a native plant, Cationem, that can be refined into a potent recreational drug. The thing is though, there’s another way of processing it that results in a substance with almost no effects apart from being extremely addictive and having absolutely horrible withdrawal symptoms. The local criminal underworld, fuelled by the surfeit of people willing to do pretty much anything for some credits, often doses their “Employees” with it to ensure they never leave. One advantage though is that because of the aforementioned crime syndicates, there is a roaring black market for guns and drugs. Pay a few credits to make the problems go away, and all that…
There was a lot of private security for the richest few, and for good reason, the planet is a dangerous place if you go in the wrong areas, or anger the wrong people.
Uzi had several siblings whom he got along with quite well, although he was always quite reluctant to talk about them. His life was quite normal, well… for a time… he met myself and Arwa in a pub, we were fast friends.
I had known Arwa for a while beforehand though. She was always a smart one, Arwa. Knew all the right stuff about computers…
So, Uzi walked into ‘The Pub’ (yes, that is what it was called), on quite a busy day, there was only one table left, right next to ours. At the time we were planning a robbery of a local betting house. I was telling Arwa the plan, and all of a sudden this voice comes from another table, ‘You can’t hack the door without the camera seeing you...’ I asked how he should know where the cameras are, all he said was, ‘do you want my help or not?’ so after consulting it with Arwa I decided to let him come along and, the robbery was a huge success. He was right; the camera would have seen us easily if he had not alerted us to its presence.
The trio of Uzi Haddad, Myself, and Arwa Issa went on for a while; we even made codenames for ourselves. And we got up to a lot of criminal stuff, petty theft, hacking, burglary; we even robbed a bank… to… mild success…
So, after casing the joint, Uzi went in to get some disguises, then I took the employees hostage, Arwa found the code for the vault. But when we opened the vault we failed to notice that it required a key-card to disable the vault sensors, you can guess what happened next… fortunately we managed to get out with the money before the steel caste response units arrived, but the guards shot at us, I got hit twice, but I survived.
Back then, we thought that no one could stop us; that we were the kings (and queen) of the robbery world.
But over time, things happened, the steel caste where getting closer to finding us, and we were getting the attention of much bigger, much better funded gangs.
The final blow came when a gang by the name of ‘The Nightstalkers’ managed to figure out Uzi’s real identity and murdered his mother. Then we decided to split up and go our separate ways, to make sure our kin didn’t go the same way.
Uzi couldn’t leave the planet, as he was addicted to the “horrible withdrawal symptoms” kind of Cationem, but I came here and became a private guard in a company, and Arwa… just kind of disappeared, I think she went on to work in a shipyard or something…
Actually though, Uzi just called earlier, he’s either beaten his addiction or somehow obtained a stockpile of Cationem, and he wants to meet up and go back to the old ways. Except he now has a ship to do it in…”
Some other details about Uzi’s ship
Name: The Black Cobra
Class: Pinnace
Weapon: Heavy Chain Gun, 60 RPM, compatible with fragmentation and armour piercing rounds.
