Being a member of the Axiom's crew was a testament to your own intelligence and capability.
With Earth's newest colony being a successful endeavour, units could now be allocated to more than infrastructure and agriculture. And so, on the fifth anniversary of Destra IV's re-colonisation they put three humans into the screening tests for the most advanced exploration ship owned by the Galactic Coalition. And you had come out successful.
It was with pride that you were announced as the first human to be a part of the Axiom's crew, your talent having set you apart from the other two deemed eligible.
