Early Years
Gabrael was always a bit lax about issuing birth certificates. The date on the paper says 355-1107 in Tsabad on Gabrael, but the location isn't entirely accurate since, his mother says, she was still in jump-space that day. But Tsabad was the nearest port and thus was the planet where Isabel Drake could first register the baby.
John has no recollection of the first few years of life, and his first real memories are of Mum and Dad at home in the lower (in so many ways) end of Vale, a suburb of Tsabad that would have preferred that their building were on the other side of the section border - in Far End.
It wasn't until John was 10 that the world really broke into the closed circle of home...Someone bad shot the Emperor and everyone seemed to want to fight everyone to take on the job. And then one of the Emperors took a load of the fleet away and some Vargr called the Federate started raiding and Dad was called up. There was some trouble at school with John's Vargr friends, and with John being friends with the Vargr - especially after the battle on Hammand.
The new Domain of Deneb then seemed to be at war with just about everyone. John was a volunteer in the college civil defence team. He helped his mother train two search dogs (real Dogs from Terra, not Vargr) and spent afternoons at the weekend lying in odd places waiting for the searchers to find and rescue him. Luckily, he never had to use his skills in earnest.
Scout Service
The IISS accepted him on his first attempt - and assigned him to Nurara Scout Base for training and operations.
The IISS became the RISS and the Exploration Branch was gutted. Nurara Scout Base was Abandoned and the vessels formed into an Imperial Navy Scout Squadron for 61st Fleet: SR-612.
In his final term, John was flying missions across the Million Subsector, and neighbouring Khouth Subsector, in what was now his ageing scout - with ever-diminishing base support and the promise that he could take the scout and go when his last mission completed.
