 They were then hired by the dead Boran Jarrett's son, [[Tercei Jarrett]], to transport his sister [[Tarya Jarret]] (who he had become romantically involved with) and the kidnapped Princess Emilie of Tyrin, but instead returned her safely home to Tyrin, imprisoning Tarya Jarrett and recruiting her bodyguard [[Vada Laney]] to their crew. On this return trip to Tyrin the Royal Fortune was attacked by several Azuli ships. They fought off the ships, and used a ruse to chase them off by using one of Fortune's drones to simulate an incoming warship.
-In gratitude for the safe return of his daughter and fighting of the Azuli, AJ and Mike were commissioned as officers in the [[Royal Navy]] and knighted into the [[Order of the Sword]]. Once in Naval Service, they were recruited for a secret stealth mission which resulted in the destruction of a secret Azuli research base in the [[Draal]] system, and capture of the Phairon assault ship prototype. After turning over the [[Pharion]], the Royal Fortune was sent back to Tyrin, halfway through the journey they received a distress call from the Grafton system, and diverted to investigate as they were the nearest ship by at least a day. The distress call was from a Royal Navy scout, the TSS Mistral which had been docked while doing a routine inspection of an unmanned weapons depot, HM [[Naval Anchorage Rook]] in orbit of Grafton-5. Rook had been captured by Azuli, and while Mike took a team aboard to locate survivors from Mistral and combat the Azuli, and for the first time came face to face with a Syth warrior.

-Born on the planet [[Grafton]] 3 (locally known as "Earth" or "Terra"), it is known that he spent some time in local Military Service. He then left Grafton aboard the ship ''[[Sapphire Star]]'' with friend [[AJ Olsen]], and it is rumored became the pirate and assassin known as "Cage" and they are credited with the assassination of [[Boran Jarrett]], a crime boss from [[Sicelei]]. They were know to frequent the pirate planet [[Tal Haliim]], and had regular work from a crime boss there known as [[Kotu]].

 During this period their ship Sapphire Star was attacked by a larger pirate ship, the ''[[Royal Fortune]]'', and their ship was critically damaged. With little hope, AJ and Mike repelled the Fortune's boarding party and boarded the Fortune, killing all but the pilot and capturing the larger ship. They recruited the pilot, Kai, and Royal Fortune became their new base of operations.
