Kayne Brax, who flies under the call sign Fractism, was born in 3267 on the Coriolis station Snyder Enterprise in the TZ Arietis system. Here, his parents Jackson and Olivia Brax, forged careers as a well-respected team of independent pilots who specialized in mining and transporting trade goods. On board the family's two ships, the young boy earned his education and love for the open space.

Though life seemed simple while traveling in either the CS Calypso, a Type-7 Transport typically filled with material goods, or the SC Titania, the Type-9 Heavy ship used for mining ventures, Kayne began to understand the significance of the random dangers such a life could offer. Whether cruising trade routes or mining asteroids for minerals, pirate attacks were a constant problem. So it was no surprise that the young boy began to gain piloting skills before his eleventh birthday.

Six months into his twenty-third year, Kayne was allowed to hone his combat piloting skills when Jackson upgraded the Titania with a fighter hanger and promoted his son to guard duty when on mining missions. Unfortunately, less than a year later, the Brax family suffered a tremendous defeat when a pirate faction known as the Morning's Hammer attacked en mass, overwhelming their defenses while mining the rings of TZ Arietis 3. It was a quick and brutal battle as the pirates laid waste to the Titania, forcing Kayne to watch the destruction, knowing his parents were still onboard.

Even now, almost twenty years after his devastating loss, Kayne's hatred for pirates remains strong, and his ambitions towards eradicating their like dominate his choices, helping him to accelerate his career as a bounty hunter.
