Raiders

Before they came my planet was full of hope, we were all dreamers hoping to one day work on our head planet, Isolde. We were small but we didn't suffer as much as the other planets out there.
This all changed when the Raiders attacked. They stayed for days eating our food, raping the women, killing the villagers, and burning our homes and the forest, our only source of food. They took almost everything from us but left us with something that would change the way we all lived, the Virus.
The Virus killed anyone who were left of the age 29 and over, which left us with a population of fifty people. It is now ten years after the Raid and we are currently at a population of one hundred people because of the new laws that were set in place after Vicus became head of government. We are to participate in the Pairing Ceremony each month once we turn fifteen so we can build the population back up in case of another raid. The children are trained from the age of six to be soldiers.
I was lucky that I found it. Hidden away in City Hall so that the general population wouldn't find it but I did. It was a beautiful ship that was probably bought with the little funds that the village had. Xerxes got me out of having to participate in the Pairing Ceremony and basically any other rule set in place by Vicus and his disgusting ways. I told him about how useful the ship would be because of our lack of food and money and convinced him to let me be captain but he had one condition; I had to have a crew and a co-captain.
My crew and I travel through the galaxy stealing from other planets and trying to find information on who the Raiders were. I swore that I would get my revenge on the Raiders for what they did to my planet, for killing our families, and for forcing me, Avey, to live in this hell hole overrun by rape, torture, and sickness that used to be my home.
