Proxima Centauri [You may call him Proxima, Proxy, or Prox] was born in 2054 [Earth year] on planet Proxima Centauri b. Proxima is an arctic wolf protogen captured by a galactic military division by the name "Qasash Division" to help them attack enemies, detect resources, and defend them. 

The Qasash Division is part of the Vatul Space Forces, and it was formed by the intergalactic empire named the Vatulian Empire. The Vatulian Empire is a country from the Andromeda Galaxy that colonized parts of the Milky Way and Triangulum Galaxy.

The Vatulian Empire's king is King Zymbyt II [King Zymbyt the Second], he is greedy to colonize more stellar systems and obliterate more minor civilizations. Proxima is currently staying in the Proxima Centauri b Arctic Station and is reading books he stole from the library to learn about the Vatulian Empire. He's also interested in astronomy and history. But, he is curious to know more about other things such as weapons, the military, nature, and music.

The year is 2073, and Proxima is tired of his colonizers being so strict and controlling. Then, he plans on how to escape from this sad and almost zero-freedom life. His drill sergeant suddenly entered his room, "Oi, get up, we are going to Alpha Centauri B to meet allies and trade partners," the drill sergeant stated in his deep voice, and Proxima happily agreed. 

Then, four guards lead him on the path to the spaceship docking bay, and the five enter a spaceship and take off. The spaceship pilot marks the destination of Alpha Centauri B and lines up to the star. 

In the middle of the flight, Proxima planned his move and threw his first punch at a guard next to him. The guards acted quickly and Proxima kicked their legs so that they fell on their faces, one guard pointed his rifle. But, Proxima held the guard's weapon and uppercuts the guard several times. 

The pilot realizes it and wants to report to the Proxima Centauri Space Station but Proxima closes his mouth and shushes him. Proxima grabs one of the unconscious guard's rifles and points it at the pilot, "Go somewhere where there is no Vatulian activity," says Proxima. The pilot gulps and nervously agrees, the pilot reroutes the spaceship to the Solar System where the human civilization is located.

The spaceship warps there and takes 2 minutes to reach Jupiter because the Solar System and Alpha Centauri System are close. The pilot suddenly turns the spacecraft toward Jupiter and pushes the accelerator to the limit. "What the hell are you doing?!", says Proxima, he pulls the pilot away from the seat and makes him fall. 

Proxima immediately drops his rifle and sits on the pilot seat, then redirects the spaceship to the Asteroid Belt, he ties up all the guards including the pilot on the passenger seat with tape, then slows down the ship and relaxes on the pilot seat. He passed Ceres, the enormous asteroid and most minor dwarf planet, and finally reached the sphere of influence of planet Mars.
