Prominent Modern Figures of Shootingstar
Mirage, solo vocalist/entertainer (February 14th 2865 - Present): Born in Entrei City on Alpha Centauri V, Grace Joy Stevens was picked up by Light Barrier Records after two years of topping her homeworld’s music charts, becoming their number one breakout star under the performer name “Mirage.” Her debut album, Shimmer, went HundPlat (one hundred platinum) across Terran space and was lauded by countless media outlets, averaging a rating of 4.9 out 5.0 and garnering her three Galactic Grammies for Album of the Year, Best New Artist, and Best Song of the Year for “FTL Crucifixion” in 2885.

Shootingstar chapter 1, part 3
Will stood outside of Colonel Hammond’s office, having donned full service dress, with Lieutenant Brown’s damage report in hand. He stifled a sigh as he waited for the clock to tick down for yet another face-to-face with his commanding officer. How many visits was it now? Ten? Eleven? The man was insufferable, with an ego that rivaled the size of the Federation itself. And like the vacuum of space, mostly devoid of anything noteworthy.

“Enter!” Colonel Hammond’s voice replied, muffled thro
