History
Cedric Sternklinge was born on April 12th, 2336, on the civilian mining station named "Asteria Haven." This station, nestled amidst the vastness of space, was operated by the renowned mining company "Nebula Ore Enterprises." The Sternklinge family led a comfortable life on Asteria Haven, benefiting from the station's steady operations and the company's fair treatment of its employees.
As Cedric grew, it became evident that he was different from the other children. While most kids his age were engrossed in the latest space games or virtual adventures, Cedric found himself drawn to the tales of ancient civilizations and the world before the age of space exploration. This unique interest made him an outcast among his peers. The teenage years were particularly challenging for Cedric. He grappled with feelings of isolation and struggled to find his place in the close-knit community of Asteria Haven. This period saw him facing several severe bouts of depression.

In his darkest moments, Cedric discovered a beacon of hope in history. He became enamored with pre-industrial history, diving deep into tales of ancient empires, medieval kingdoms, and the dawn of the Renaissance. The more he read, the more he realized that history was his true passion. It provided him with a sense of connection to the past and a perspective on the present. His room on Asteria Haven became a sanctuary filled with ancient manuscripts, holographic reconstructions of historical events, and artifacts from bygone eras.
Academic and Professional Pursuits
While history was Cedric's passion, his parents, recognizing the importance of a stable career, nudged him towards station management. They believed that with his meticulous nature and attention to detail, he would excel in this field. Cedric, ever the dutiful son, pursued a bachelor's degree in Station Operations and Management. While it wasn't his first love, he found satisfaction in the challenges it presented and the tangible impact he could have on the lives of those living on a space station.
After completing his degree, Cedric's skills and dedication did not go unnoticed. He quickly rose through the ranks and eventually secured the position of Operations Manager at the Maak Station. Here, he oversees the living quarters and communal areas, ensuring the well-being of the residents and the smooth functioning of the station's operations.
