"They see wreckage. I see the future, one hull at a time."

Captain Darev Belrak serves as an independent contractor aligned with Khanid Innovation, operating primarily out of Khanid Prime. Once a field engineer in the Kingdom’s border skirmishes, he was reassigned to a more "strategic role"—commanding a Golem-class Marauder, outfitted for precision strikes and immediate battlefield recovery.

Known among locals as the “Wreck Whisperer,” Darev patrols the stars around Khanid Prime, executing sanctioned combat missions and salvaging what others leave behind. Every wreck salvaged is another piece of data returned to the labs of Khanid Innovation. Every pirate crew dismantled is one less threat to the Crown's dominance.

While his loyalty is to the Kingdom, his motives are driven by technological ascendancy. He believes the future of the Khanid lies in what can be salvaged, studied, and repurposed. That includes the secrets of enemies, the tech of allies, and the relics buried in the stars.
