In the initial phases of the New Republic, specifically in its early years, there existed a former Nova Scout named Burt Jaxton. Possessing a deep affection for the vastness of space and its routes, Jaxton held the conviction that a certain mentality was crucial for a scout to not only flourish but also find joy in their profession. He was known for his tendency to share narratives with anyone around, regardless of whether they were interested in his experiences or suggestions.
