First Officer Nickolas Mercier was born in December, 18th, 2914 on Goss III. His father being a Navy Officer and his mother being a Nurse, he somehow merged with the differing interests in his family. Being sly and educated, well-mannered and long-term oriented, he somehow lacked all qualities necessary for his dream profession: becoming a fighter pilot. Although he learned aeronautics pretty early due to his dad, Nick showed no sign of evidently necessary combat pilot qualities like intuition, agressivity and tactical focus. So he failed his Navy Combat Pilot Test in 2935.

What can be a lack of qualities in one branch was his benefit in another. So he sucessfully passed his test for United Empire of Earth Imperial Center of Cartography in the same year and became Pilot in 23rd Exploration Group. He earned his merits there for being a skilled pilot, serving on an Andromeda Class Vessel in his final stages of service.

In 2946 he surprisingly mustered out after his mother´s death and joined Intergalactic Airlines Hub at Goss System. He gained his Flight Rating for Genesis Starliner Ships in 2947 and started his career as First Officer. But anyway – Nick was eager. So he joined Intergalactic Airlines Management shortly after starting service and became first Flight Instructor in 2948.

Nick left Intergalactic Airlines in 2949, due to a more or less detoriating internal climate and dissonances about the internal course and joined Atlas Defense Industries as Transportation pilot one week later.
