Many people do not know that I stepped down from leading the Cowboys after The War. I moved to Wolfenheim and started a new life. I still fly with the Cowboys, but Christian Mack became the new Major, the new Cowboy One. He commanded the Cowboys far longer than I, and it is thanks to him that the Cowboys remained a viable force after War’s End. He held us together with newsletters and reunions and commissioned the construction of Cowboy Countries on every major world. He took a weapon built to drive the Shang out of this sector of the galaxy and turned it into the Cowboys we know today. Part veteran’s group, part private security, transport organization, bounty hunter guild, and a dozen and more other occupations. He accommodated almost anything our people wanted to do, and made it all part of the official Cowboy mission. He was not content with the Cowboys being famous for helping to win The War. He wanted everyone to think of the Cowboys as helping to keep The Peace that followed. He succeeded beyond my wildest imaginations.
