Diego Pèrez is the oldest of 6 kids. He was born in Buenos Aries, Costa Rica in 1957. At age 17 his family moved to the United States. Now residing in Dayton, Ohio he runs a side hustle fixing cars to provide enough money for his family to scrape by. Being undocumented doesn't make life easy but one fateful day a well known CEO stops in with a exceptional car in need of an oil change. Diego takes one look at the engine and sees that there’s more than that and offers his services to the man. The man Mr. Carter is more than impressed as his car runs on no ordinary engine but on parts used to make rockets fly to deep space. He seems potential in the man and offers him a job on a station light years away along with money that will keep his family stable for long after he’s back home. After a long talk with his family Diego  agrees to go and becomes the mechanical officer of the USS Persephone. A space station orbiting the star Ross 154. Though this is no normal mission, doomed to fail the mission is to observe how well a crew can survive with a traitor amongst the ranks. Thrown into the side of the traitors unwillingly he soon discovers this is more than he could ever imagine.
