Erasmus Corey

Erasmus Corey was a human male and one of the most renowned starship racers in the galaxy. He was born in Tharsis City on Mars in 2248. He entered the professional racing circuit around 2271, after inheriting his father's old single-person shuttle yacht known as the Pheasant. In 2274 he competed in the Ganymede to Earth race for the first time, and won by a narrow margin after shutting off all life support and even the gravity regulator on the Pheasant, nearly causing his death from the crushing g-forces of prolonged speed. After this he became a celebrity overnight, gaining multiple sponsors and endorsement deals. He went on to win the Ganymede to Earth race for the next seven years, earning him even more respect and popularity among the citizens of the Alliance. He also helped make Veer Kapudia and his brand famous, after racing one of Kapudia's new Apex class racer in the 2280 race.
