Quick facts:Jax McCleary
Jax McCleary is a Human journalist, pilot, and Spectrum personality best known for hosting the shows Galactic Tour[1] and Whitley’s Guide. Before becoming a show host, McCleary worked as the sports anchor for the local news program in Aydo on Green, gaining a reputation as a bombastic, tongue-in-cheek commentator on spacecraft races with deep insight on the inner workings and handling of the ships. McCleary left his position in 2931 to launch Galactic Gear, a show that examines and reviews spacecraft through often outlandish means. The show was sold in 2945 to Voyager Direct after years of ratings success and was relaunched and rebranded as Galactic Tour in 2946. McCleary left the show shortly after, and returned to racing commentary until accepting a contract to host Whitley’s Guide in 2950.[2]
Escape from Pyro
Whitley's Guide suffered from a ratings drop during IAE 2951, and Jax decided to leave for the Pyro system in search for a new calling by "borrowing" an RSI Odyssey prototype.[3] In 2952, show producers included an "In Memoriam" title card during their coverage of that year's expo, having presumed their former host died in the lawless system. Shortly afterwards, however, Jax began live broadcasting to Spectrum from a Pyro III outpost, disproving his alleged death and announcing his return to the Stanton system.[4][5] He was captured by pirates enroute and held in a run-down 890 Jump, but rescued by a different group of pirates shortly after.[6] Later, a solar flare disabled the Cutter he was flying, and he had to search for replacement parts in a black market.[7]
Trivia
- Jax owns a penthouse in Castor Point. According to him, it is worth less than two crates of Bon Durant Vaissau Blanc De Blanc Reserve champagne.[3]
