Fleck’s comes from the planet, Runvereth.
On first scan, this frost-coated planet in a cold star system looks entirely uninhabited. Though, upon touching down, you’d find that the natives live through tunnels beneath the thick sheets of snow that cover the planet’s surface.
The major natives of the planet, the Yebbits, are a race of humanoid hare-rabbit like people that stand at an average height of six feet tall. They value mechanics and industrial development above all else and, through a long history of fossil fuels, have adapted to steam and water power through melted snow.
As for Fleck himself, he lived a fairly modest life in his grandfather’s junkyard. He’d often explore the frost above during the ‘warmer’ seasons for scrap metal and spare parts from ships that have crashed from the planet’s blizzards. On one particular expedition, he found an entire ship with a living crew and welcomed them into his home.
From there, he asked to go with them on their journey, wanting to see more than just snow and stone. The crew agreed, and Fleck joined the crew as their lead mechanic.
