Chance’s mother, Margaret, and his biological father met while vacationing on Risa.  After a short and invigoratingly intimate relationship; the two parted and never attempted to contact each other.  As a result, on Stardate 2371.12.06, Chance entered the world a bastard child; and never even met his father.  Because of the relationship his mother had with her father, Chance’s grandfather became his surrogate father figure while Chance was growing up.

Margaret worked as a bookkeeper/office administrator for her father, a bounty hunter named Edward Raschen.  He was respected by everyone on both sides of the law, and was referred to as “Easy Ed” because of his calm appearance and easy going demeanor.  He could also be vicious, unrelenting, and ruthless in his pursuit for those he was hired to capture when his kindness was mistaken for weakness.

After a couple of years, Ed and Margaret started a new firm called Impetuous Industries.  The company’s base products remained bounty hunting, and security consultation. Once the company expanded into shipping, then eventually into research and development; Impetuous Industries eventually became contracted to several military and civilian shipyards and space stations throughout the Federation.  The headquarters for Impetuous Industries was located on the family’s 300 acre ranch in Texas on Earth. 

At 14 Chance started to accompany his grandfather on his bounty hunting excursions. It was Easy Ed that first taught Chance the use of weapons; bounty hunter and pirate tactics; starship and urban warfare; cargo and troop transport; blockade running and smuggling; piloting; and dueling.

Chance celebrated his 18th birthday on Romulus because he had accompanied his mother on a business trip there. It was that same trip that he met his fiancé; a Romulan beauty named T’Lela who was a Sub-Centurion in the Romulan military. Much to the discouragement of her father and the encouragement of his mother, [[T'Lela]] and Chance courted and, after a couple of years, were eventually engaged to be married despite her father’s objections about Chance’s parentage and upbringing. 

Wanting to be a civilian ship's captain in the family business, he applied to the Houston Texas campus of Hardy-Knox University and was accepted. While there he learned more about piloting, navigation, vessel resource management, and general operations of starships than he had learned from his grandfather. Two years later, Chance graduated and received his civilian Able Crewman and Ship Captain’s licenses. T’Lela and her father made the trip to Earth so the young couple could be married.
