The Emperor is Dead
His Royal Guard Scattered
And a False King sits on the Throne
As the last loyal remnants of the Imperial Navy gather at gather at The Veil, last stronghold of Imperial Rule. Your fleet is one of the few Frontier fleets of the Old Empire, relatively untouched in stark comparison to your brothers, some of which crumple up upon exiting warp space. The Last Admiral of the Imperial Navy issues you an order; the Last Edict of the Late Emperor:
Hunt the Traitor Lords
Bring Ruin to their People
Bring peace to the Empire
Go forth, brave soldiers of the Emperor, go forth and slaughter those who bring ruin to our people! The Fleet shall not rest while the False King sits on the Imperial Throne, for there is no survival for us but Victory!
Your enemies have had years to prepare, they will be ruthless and deadly. Heretic children grow up learning your tactics, studying your war-machines, and wishing for your death.
This will do.
>>This will be a Fleet based HB, your ships will be your heroes. Your ultimate goal is to restore order to the Empire, by any means necessary. Be prepared, for this fight shall not be easy

Captain’s Name: Nihlus Striesse
Captain Fluff: Nihlus was once an up and coming cadet in one of the Empire's myriad Officer schools. He was smart, intuitive and savvy. However his greatest flaw was always his mouth. He was brash, uncouth, even rude at times and that cost him with his fellows, as he always said his mind, even when discretion with his betters would have been wise.
As such his peer reviews were horid and even some of his teachers, those who disliked his manner or were bought by another, were overly harsh on him. This in turn got him relegated to patrol destroyer in the frontier. So while his peers were getting rent limb from limb he himself was patrolling, then fleeing from the coming storm until he could regroup with allies.

Captain Fluff: Captain Artemis Thulmir is a failure, or was a failure. Loss after loss have been attributed to his name and it is a miracle him still remains in command of a ship.

However through every failure and disaster he still limps along, determined to do his duty to the empire.

Captain Fluff: Satori is what one would comonly call a fanatic. No matter what ship he is captain of he makes sure that there is a shrine and that worship is practiced regularly. He also favors energy weapons, seeing it as 'purging the enemies of the Emperor in holy fire'. He was sent to the fronteir after slapping a superior officer for 'lack of faith'.

Captain’s Name: CLX-#124
Captain Fluff: CLX-#124 is one of the Empire's most adanced artifiial intelligent military drones. Designed to house the downloaded information of previous pilot aces, captains, as well as expert pilot programming, it is fully capable of piloting any unit it assimilates itself into.
Its central processing unit is surrounded by an array of tools and devices designed to allow it to manually repair, scavenge, or modify technological components. Given enough time and resources, it can repair and pilot a damaged ship alone. Admittedly, they are far more proficient at ships designed for individual piloting, particularly fighters, of which the bulk of their combat expertise is directed at, but they were designed to aid in a population shortage.
It specializes in high speed, high force manuevers and turns of which the G-Force would kill any organic pilots, but not an automated one.

Captain’s Name: Ensign Elijah Brown - 'Angel'
Captain Fluff: Elijah Brown, or, as he generally prefers, 'Angel', is a product of the same environment that produced the revolution itself. Born penniless, destitute, and without the slightest trace of an opportunity for traditional success, the only difference between Brown and most of the megacity's orphan children is that a gun was not pushed into his hands; he actively sought it ought. Sometime in his early teens, Brown killed a member of a rival gang in his district, securing himself a position in another. A criminal aggression caused Brown to steadily grow his reputation as a skilled murderer, acquiring the ironic nickname of 'Angel' somewhere down the line, his well-timed hits gaining enough notoriety that by sixteen, he was offered a serious contract from a genuine syndicate as one of the Empire's youngest contract killers. Through this means he managed to get off-world, blowing an Imperial trader's brains out from miles off and getting enough money to live comfortably for the rest of his life off it.
Angel made an effort at doing just that, buying an apartment on a decent world and attempting to settle into a life of forgetful parties and rest. He quickly found that he couldn't; after two years, the decadence and unfounded, arrogant pretension of the rich district he lived in's youth sickened him, though he knew he had no right to judge. Lurching in revolt more at this than anything he'd done before, and knowing that he'd kill the next man who jokingly grandstanded over him, Brown took what money he had left and left, buying a Corvette and a mercenary crew that understood his intent well enough.
Brown became noteworthy to the public at large soon after; doing a mixture of mercenary work on the ground and in space, he quickly moved from assassination contracts to outright raiding, making use of skilled boarding teams and brutal short-range weapons to devastate defenses and successfully raid even notably larger ships, acquiring a massive amount of wealth in a short period of time. He became an infamous criminal figure for a span of roughly three years, acquiring a fleet and assets that launched comparisons to the pirate lords of ancient Earth, bold enough to launch (overwhelmingly successful) raids on proper Imperial stations and, one or twice, military convoys. Dealing with a growing insurrection, the Empire became increasingly less able to stop these attacks as Angel grew his own overt strength. Only through the Emperor's diligence did this period come to a close - tracking one of his safehouse's exact locations, a full squad of Imperial Marines carefully waited outside as Brown disembarked, seizing and imprisoning him at the ripe old age of twenty-two. The act shattered Angel's 'mock empire', as despite being shockingly well-administrated, the entire organization foolishly rested on the autonomy and guidance of Brown himself. Funnily, this proved mostly helpful to the Empire, as the remaining groups largely turned on the now more profitable rebellion.
Brown spent two full years in a maximum security prison on death row, going through lengthy trial proceedings while the Empire crumbled in on itself. His death-date was delayed twice; debate raged in the temporary capital's governance on the issue of the traitor. Still, Brown expected death to be the final sentence, thinking the Empire unwilling to bend to convenience. Yet on the last day of his life, a Governor came to his cell, flanked by two armed guards, with a pardon in his hands - provided that Angel accept a rank in the Imperial Navy and fight to the best of his capacity against the rebellion.
For the first time in two years, Brown managed to smile. The Empire may spit on his name as a criminal and a traitor; but signing the pardon to command the Imperial Hawk, a close-range harassment-focused destroyer, it seemed clear that it was efficiency needed at the frontlines, not loyalty or ethics. And efficiency - that, Angel could give.

Captain’s Name: Admiral Houston Flint
Captain Fluff: Climbing through the Imperial navy ranks is no easy feat. But with a solid head on your shoulders and a love for the empire in your heart few things are considered impossible. For a one Houston Flint this was and remains to be his creed. The Empire needs things done, and it was up to the Navy to see that will done. Slacking off and shrinking duties simply wasn't an option. Unfortunately a reputation for being a stiff patriot can do very little for ones social graces in a more informal manner. But sacrifices like that are an easy pill to swallow for peace.

Captain’s Name: Prof. Dr. Karl Wolf
Captain Fluff: Before the War Wolf was a military scientist engaged in the development of numerous ship technologies, however with the death of the Emperor times had changed and Wolf was forced to retreat to the Veil where the last faithful remnants of the Imperial Fleet remained.
Numerous times before men had fought far superior fleets. Back on his homeworld they had adapted and taken the fight from the surface down to the black depths of the ocean where no light could reach. Submarines they were called, ships that struck anywhere with merciless fury.
The Imperial Fleet was faced with a problem that was very alike and they too could develop capacities to take the fight beyond the minds of normal men. Beyond what was even considered the realm of possibility. They would strike from a dimensions others doubted to exist. Karl Wolf would be the father of the Space Submarine Doctrine.

Captain’s Name: Ensign Wolf Wolf Jr.,
Nickname: Wolf Powered, Woof Woof, That Child Soldier
Captain Fluff: Son of Prof. Col. Wolf Wolf, nephew of Prof. Dr. Karl Wolf. Wolf is a gregarious easy going youth who enjoys himself whenever he has the chance in port. Growing up in a colony where his father was posted he had his father's great workshop to experience all kinds of planes and a good people of an outer world to raise him. He would win piloting competitions and races, the glorious skies of that world will stay with him forever.
While he could experience the fruits of his father's engineering prowess such as muscle cars or fast planes what his father was really working on was a new type of fighter; one far more maneuverable and dangerous than anything the Empire or the Rebel scientists of even the Cullings could produce. With the base model complete it would be ready for field testing it would need a pilot and with the Empire in dire straights it could hardly refuse a young man who would never betray his family and by extension his country.
It was built to hunt down the enemy fighters and cripple systems while surviving amidst incalculable amounts of ship fire, it would be their answer to continuing the Empire's history in military achievement.
Perhaps it just runs in the family.
Ship Name: The Wolf Mk1
Ship Type: Fighter
Weapon Systems:
1 Reaper-Z42 Autocannon. Small slugs, high velocity and rapid rate of fire. Shreds through light armor but ineffective against larger ships.

Purifier Missiles: A favorite of fighter pilots, these small missiles pack a mean punch, but are limited in number. Health of Missiles: 5
Damage: 4d10 (Small)
Upgrade: Gap Drive (Fighter/Bomber Only): A small warp drive that allows fighters/bombers to "Blink" to target, generates exploitable gap in space time around vessel by modifying engine output to tear apart local space time.

Nihlus looked out of the observation deck at the remains of the Royal Guard, last loyal vestige of the once grand Imperial Fleet. The ships that warped in were not grand, however. They were shadows of greatness, many leaking atmosphere and pocket-marked by blast holes. Some of them disintegrated upon exiting warp, the strain too much on their already weakened structures. The Betrayal of the Royal Houses was unexpected and brutal, but as Nihlus watched his comrades limp into the Veil, he knew that the Treacherous dogs must be brought to heel.

Captain Artemis Thulmir, a name synonymous with failure. Within the circles of Fleet Command, his name was whispered with a tinge of disgust. The man himself was not a failure, but often present at the sight of them. It was a wonder then, how of all the officers in the Imperial Navy, that Artemis Thulmir was not present at the last stand of the Royal Guard, and the massacre that followed. The Captain wondered this himself as he saw the last remains of the Loyalist Fleet warp into port at the Veil, before looking at the ships of his own fleet, pristine from their light patrol on the Frontier. They were tasked by fleet command to bring the traitors to heel, to make them pay for their betrayal, and though Artemis was keen to do that, he could not begin to imagine how they could accomplish such a feat.

Bonus: [Wisdom] - Though Artemis has had a poor career, none can deny his length of service to the Empire, and much of the knowledge he has gained in this time. This knowledge will surely come into play in the campaign to follow. +10 to non-combat actions
Flaws: [Buffoon] - And as his record cannot be ignored for its length, it cannot also be ignored for its utter horribleness. As such, fleet command is reluctant to grant him the same equipment and ships as other captains. Upgrades and New Ships cost twice as much until you prove your worth.

Yoto was utterly devoted to the Emperor, and to the Empire he built. Some would call Yoto A fanatic, but he would call those people heretics. When word of the Emperor’s death and the subsequent slaughter of the Royal Guard, Yoto was in despair. The man that he, and many others, worshiped like a god was dead, slain by those closest to him. The Treachery, the Betrayal, it was incomprehensible. The Emperor brought peace to the galaxy, prosperity to trillions, and they butchered him on his throne. The Heretics would pay, their world will burn, and Yoto will ensure that they would pay. Every. Single. One.
Ship Health: 120/120

Do Double Damage to Traitor Lord Ships.
Flaws: [Untampered Fury] – While the raging fire burns bright, it so too burns quick, when in a state of Holy Fury, you take twice as much damage as well.

A machine built for war, with no other purpose besides that. A lonely existence, but this does not bother drones like CLX-#124, the last of his kind. Relics of a bygone age when the Second Culling forced the military to resort AI piloted ships. There was flaw, however. As suggested by Imperial Scientist, sentient AI thrust into war will not have stable minds, such as you would imagine with a child thrust into a life of violence. CLX units were responsible for many massacres and war crimes, and one by one they were destroyed or decommissioned, for their own sake as much as for that of the greater Imperium. CLX-#124 is unique, different from his brothers and sisters. Unlike them, he has no empathy, no remorse. One could call him a monster, but to others he is the perfect killing machine. Shelved for many years, it is now, in the Empire's darkest hour, that he is activated once more, suborned to the last intact loyal fleet of the Empire, and tasked with avenging the fallen Emperor and restoring order to the Empire at large.

They know what you are and what you’re capable of, and they will be reluctant to give you access to real fire power until you can prove you’re loyal. Capped at Destroyer class vessels until deemed efficient and loyal by Fleet Command.

Elijah had never been to The Veil before, not many citizens had, let alone criminals. This was the secret base built in the farthest reaches of the Empire in case a rebellion such as the one that had recently taken place should occur. A massive shipyard wrapped around a barren world with many moons, this was the staging point for fleet of massive size, yet the one that limped into it now could hardly be called that. The Remains of the Royal Guard were shells of their former glory, less than a fourth of the fleet had survived their recent engagement over the world that held the last copies of the Emperor’s body. That fourth that did make it having barely survived the jump themselves. The Angel began to idly wonder just what he had gotten himself into, but quickly decided that he didn’t care if it involved him earning his freedom. He could roam the stars once more, free from that cramped cell on the Capital world of Ra’kathum, all he had to do was end a rebellion and kill the strongest nobles in the Empire.
He could manage that.

Imperial Favor: 0 (Gained by destroying traitors, used or purchase new ships and upgrades)

He would not have risen as high as he did had he not. Now the time comes to put his skills to work again, and not for himself for a change. May reroll one combat action per turn
Flaws: [Pirate Scum] – Your name, and your past, follow you like the moon of Ra’kathum follows the suns, you are recognized, but not for the reason one would want to be. This has the adverse effect of Fleet Command taking less notice of your good actions, and more notice of your mistakes. Half favor gain and double Favor loss until you prove you are more than your past.

Admiral Flint was no stranger to war, or to loss, but the sight he saw before him was enough to move him to tears. The once glorious Royal Guard, reduced to mere scrap by the Traitors that had killed his beloved Emperor, thrown his Empire into war, and caused untold suffering for trillions. This was too much to bear for Houston, someone had to pay for this, for all of this death and ruin. A gift, that Houston was sure of, would be repaid in kind.

The Good Doctor, as he is known, fled his lab when the traitor militia came knocking. With his son he left the Throne world of Ra’kathum and journeyed out to The Veil, the rendezvous point for those still loyal to the Old Empire. Already in his mind the good doctor was imagining ways to strike back at the Treacherous scum. A thought entered his mind, thinking of the old warships of his homeworld. A ship, that could disappear at a moment’s notice, but in one move could break the back of the enemy. He began to theorize how to achieve this with the fighters and bombers of the Empire when he was told that his expertise was needed again, this time of the field of battle. He and his son were given free rein to work on whatever ship design they so wished so long as they fought with the Royal Guard to restore order to the Empire and depose the False King.

Flaws: [Zyklon Karl] – A accident in the lab many years ago left Karl with a reliance upon a breathing apparatus.

Double W, as he was known, was not as smart as his genius of a father, though that wasn't saying much. WW dreamed of a new fighter, much as his father did. He dreamed of a fighter that could transform into a mechanized robot in space. Military theorist told him time and time again of the problems that exist in this design, and how ships could already maneuver in 3 dimensions, but the boy was persistent. Now he finds himself on the edge of known space, fighting in a war he didn't sign up for, nor one that he believes he will make it through, but it may hold the key to getting his designs greenlighted by the Fleet, as what better test is there of weapons then war itself?

Bonus: [Wild child] - A childhood of racing his father's inventions and piloting all manner of craft has let WW gain quite the skills as a pilot. He will surely use them in the coming campaign. + 15 to maneuvering rolls in small craft.
Flaws: [Nutty] - WW insistence on designing essentially an entire new type of fighter based on untried and in some cases, non-existent technology has earned him the moniker of "Nutter" by some in the research field, as such, unless he can prove its worth, he will have a very hard time getting his fighter design approved.

Transmission to all Loyalist Ships from High Command: Current state of the War
"This is Fleet Commander Zuric of the Royal Guard, and though we may be bloodied, we are not out, so long as we fight, the Empire is not dead. The Emperor brought peace and prosperity to the Empire, defended the arts and the sciences, and ensured the safety and well-being of millions.
Though the treachery of the Great Houses came as a surprise, we have the facilities here to take the fight back to this new "Imperium".
I know many of you lost friends, maybe even family or loved ones, which is why we need to not let their deaths be in vain.
To my fleets from the frontier, now is your time! As our main fleets repair and rebuild, you will be our main arm, keeping the fight alive and letting the people of the Empire know that the the TRUE Empire is not DEAD

We have detected a Traitor Milita convoy in the Ferno Asteroid belt, lightly guarded and guarding valuable supplies that we'll need to rebuild our fleet. As the most combat capable vessels you are ordered to make for the Belt posthaste and destroy the convoy guards and disable their freighters. Permit none to Escape.

Captain’s Name: Nihlus Striesse
Captain Fluff: Nihlus was once an up and coming cadet in one of the Empire's myriad Officer schools. He was smart, intuitive and savvy. However his greatest flaw was always his mouth. He was brash, uncouth, even rude at times and that cost him with his fellows, as he always said his mind, even when discretion with his betters would have been wise.
As such his peer reviews were horid and even some of his teachers, those who disliked his manner or were bought by another, were overly harsh on him. This in turn got him relegated to patrol destroyer in the frontier. So while his peers were getting rent limb from limb he himself was patrolling, then fleeing from the coming storm until he could regroup with allies.
Ship Name: Perilous

Upgrades: [Shields]
Imperial Favor: 0 (Gained by destroying traitors, used or purchase new ships and upgrades)
Bonus: [Peerless] - Nihlus was one of the brightest, one of the best, yet marred by his arrogance and brashness. It was mere months ago that he was "exiled" to the frontier, and his skills are still fresh. + 5 to all actions.
Flaws: [Pride Cometh] - Your boldness is your strength, but also it feeds your greatest weakness; Pride. You cannot run from fights from ships of the same class or smaller than yours.

Captain’s Name: Prof. Dr. Karl Wolf
Captain Fluff: Before the War Wolf was a military scientist engaged in the development of numerous ship technologies, however with the death of the Emperor times had changed and Wolf was forced to retreat to the Veil where the last faithful remnants of the Imperial Fleet remained.
Numerous times before men had fought far superior fleets. Back on his homeworld they had adapted and taken the fight from the surface down to the black depths of the ocean where no light could reach. Submarines they were called, ships that struck anywhere with merciless fury.
The Imperial Fleet was faced with a problem that was very alike and they too could develop capacities to take the fight beyond the minds of normal men. Beyond what was even considered the realm of possibility. They would strike from a dimensions others doubted to exist. Karl Wolf would be the father of the Space Submarine Doctrine.
Welcome to making history, fuckboiis.

Imperial Favor: 0
Bonus:
+ [Master of Stealth] – In your search to make submarine warfare into space warfare, you have yet to find a way to make your ship completely disappear after striking, but in your research you have developed a methodology for sneak attacking using conventional tactics. + 5 to Sneak attacks, if roll is successful, damage is doubled
Flaws:
+ [Zyklon Karl] – A accident in the lab many years ago left Karl with a reliance upon a breathing apparatus. This as a result has left him confined to his respiration chamber for half of most days, and when he is out of it, his mask puts others off quite a bit, as does his odd voice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9wi0cPrU4U

Captain’s Name: Ensign Wolf Wolf Jr.,
Nickname: Wolf Powered, Woof Woof, That Child Soldier. Double W, WW
Captain Fluff: Son of Prof. Col. Wolf Wolf, nephew of Prof. Dr. Karl Wolf. Wolf is a gregarious easy going youth who enjoys himself whenever he has the chance in port. Growing up in a colony where his father was posted he had his father's great workshop to experience all kinds of planes and a good people of an outer world to raise him. He would win piloting competitions and races, the glorious skies of that world will stay with him forever.
While he could experience the fruits of his father's engineering prowess such as muscle cars or fast planes what his father was really working on was a new type of fighter; one far more maneuverable and dangerous than anything the Empire or the Rebel scientists of even the Cullings could produce. With the base model complete it would be ready for field testing it would need a pilot and with the Empire in dire straights it could hardly refuse a young man who would never betray his family and by extension his country.
It was built to hunt down the enemy fighters and cripple systems while surviving amidst incalculable amounts of ship fire, it would be their answer to continuing the Empire's history in military achievement.
Perhaps it just runs in the family.
Ship Name: The Wolf Mk1
Ship Type: Fighter
Weapon Systems:
1 Reaper-Z42 Autocannon. Small slugs, high velocity and rapid rate of fire. Shreds through light armor but ineffective against larger ships.
Damage: 2d10 (Small)
Purifier Missiles: A favorite of fighter pilots, these small missiles pack a mean punch, but are limited in number. Health of Missiles: 5
Damage: 4d10 (Small)
Ship Health: 20/20
Crew: 1/1
Upgrades: [Gap Drive]
Imperial Favor: 0 (Gained by destroying traitors, used or purchase new ships and upgrades)
Bonus: [Wild child] - A childhood of racing his father's inventions and piloting all manner of craft has let WW gain quite the skills as a pilot. He will surely use them in the coming campaign. + 15 to maneuvering rolls in small craft.
Flaws: [Nutty] - WW insistence on designing essentially an entire new type of fighter based on untried and in some cases, non-existent technology has earned him the moniker of "Nutter" by some in the research field, as such, unless he can prove its worth, he will have a very hard time getting his fighter design approved.

Captain’s Name: CLX-#124
Captain Fluff: CLX-#124 is one of the Empire's most adanced artifiial intelligent military drones. Designed to house the downloaded information of previous pilot aces, captains, as well as expert pilot programming, it is fully capable of piloting any unit it assimilates itself into.
Its central processing unit is surrounded by an array of tools and devices designed to allow it to manually repair, scavenge, or modify technological components. Given enough time and resources, it can repair and pilot a damaged ship alone. Admittedly, they are far more proficient at ships designed for individual piloting, particularly fighters, of which the bulk of their combat expertise is directed at, but they were designed to aid in a population shortage.
It specializes in high speed, high force manuevers and turns of which the G-Force would kill any organic pilots, but not an automated one.

Captain Fluff: Climbing through the Imperial navy ranks is no easy feat. But with a solid head on your shoulders and a love for the empire in your heart few things are considered impossible. For a one Houston Flint this was and remains to be his creed. The Empire needs things done, and it was up to the Navy to see that will done. Slacking off and shrinking duties simply wasn't an option. Unfortunately a reputation for being a stiff patriot can do very little for ones social graces in a more informal manner. But sacrifices like that are an easy pill to swallow for peace.

Upgrades: [Armor Piercing Rounds]
Imperial Favor: 0 (Gained by destroying traitors, used or purchase new ships and upgrades)
Bonus: [One-Winged Angel] – A life of violence breeds hard men, and Elijah is no exception. His upbringing instilled in him a great understanding of the way of things, and how to exploit them. He would not have risen as high as he did had he not. Now the time comes to put his skills to work again, and not for himself for a change. May reroll one combat action per turn
Flaws: [Pirate Scum] – Your name, and your past, follow you like the moon of Ra’kathum follows the suns, you are recognized, but not for the reason one would want to be. This has the adverse effect of Fleet Command taking less notice of your good actions, and more notice of your mistakes. Half favor gain and double Favor loss until you prove you are more than your past.

It was brutal, it was quick, but mostly it was efficient. The escorts never saw the Fleet, they barely realized they were being shot at by the time they died. They never stood a chance.
>All enemy combatants dead, no salvage due to amount of raw damage done to them
The freighters got a lighter beating, but still it was brutal. Freighter 1 had its engines disabled and was preparing to be boarded by the enigmatic Angel, while its brother ship had its engines torn apart by a combat drone. Not wanting to meet the same fate, the captains of the ships all rush to hail you all at once, offering surrender and immediate possession of their ships and their cargo. Spineless merchants.

A new data packet comes from high command, straight to the dataslates of the pilots and captains
Priority Orders: Security level GAMMA
This is FC Zuric, good job on that last mission boys. It was a milk run to be sure, but the supplies you got for the Empire cannot be ignored. As such I'm granting you this new mission, succeed and you'll be rewarded handsomely.
We've found the location of one of the Traitors that killed our beloved Emperor.
Lord Yuul has been granted lands along the Frontier for his part in the betrayal. He has been spotted patrolling these lands in his new Cruiser, most likely bought with the blood money of the False King himself.
You are to warp to Yuul's position and destroy him, this shall be the First step in avenging the Emperor, and will go far in securing support for our Cause.

Captain’s Name: Yoto Satori
Captain Fluff: Satori is what one would comonly call a fanatic. No matter what ship he is captain of he makes sure that there is a shrine and that worship is practiced regularly.

Flaws: [Buffoon] - And as his record cannot be ignored for its length, it cannot also be ignored for its utter horribleness. As such, fleet command is reluctant to grant him the same equipment and ships as other captains. Upgrades and New Ships cost twice as much until you prove your worth.

Ship Health: 80/80
Crew: 100/100
Upgrades: [Armor Piercing Rounds]
Imperial Favor: 1
Bonus: [One-Winged Angel] – A life of violence breeds hard men, and Elijah is no exception. His upbringing instilled in him a great understanding of the way of things, and how to exploit them. He would not have risen as high as he did had he not. Now the time comes to put his skills to work again, and not for himself for a change. May reroll one combat action per turn
Flaws: [Pirate Scum] – Your name, and your past, follow you like the moon of Ra’kathum follows the suns, you are recognized, but not for the reason one would want to be. This has the adverse effect of Fleet Command taking less notice of your good actions, and more notice of your mistakes. Half favor gain and double Favor loss until you prove you are more than your past.
The hard-worn voice that crackles over the radio of the former Pirate king, while young, is clearly used to command.
"Don't waste missiles on the Cruiser while it's surrounded by its destroyers and PDC. The Cruiser will tear your ass up if you get too close to it - if you've got range, target it with support fire and fuck it up as well as you can. If you're on the right flank, Destroyers, take down D3 before it can respond. Left, help me put D1 in the dirt. And remember to keep your goddamn distance from the Cruiser."

Captain’s Name: Ensign Wolf Wolf Jr.,
Nickname: Wolf Powered, Woof Woof, That Child Soldier. Double W, WW
Captain Fluff: Son of Prof. Col. Wolf Wolf, nephew of Prof. Dr. Karl Wolf. Wolf is a gregarious easy going youth who enjoys himself whenever he has the chance in port. Growing up in a colony where his father was posted he had his father's great workshop to experience all kinds of planes and a good people of an outer world to raise him. He would win piloting competitions and races, the glorious skies of that world will stay with him forever.
While he could experience the fruits of his father's engineering prowess such as muscle cars or fast planes what his father was really working on was a new type of fighter; one far more maneuverable and dangerous than anything the Empire or the Rebel scientists of even the Cullings could produce. With the base model complete it would be ready for field testing it would need a pilot and with the Empire in dire straights it could hardly refuse a young man who would never betray his family and by extension his country.
It was built to hunt down the enemy fighters and cripple systems while surviving amidst incalculable amounts of ship fire, it would be their answer to continuing the Empire's history in military achievement.
Perhaps it just runs in the family.
Ship Name: The Wolf Mk1
Ship Type: Fighter
Weapon Systems:
1 Reaper-Z42 Autocannon. Small slugs, high velocity and rapid rate of fire. Shreds through light armor but ineffective against larger ships.
Damage: 2d10 (Small)
Purifier Missiles: A favorite of fighter pilots, these small missiles pack a mean punch, but are limited in number. Health of Missiles: 5
Damage: 3d10 (Small)
Ship Health: 75/75
Crew: 1/1
Upgrades: [Gap Drive]
Imperial Favor: 2 (Gained by destroying traitors, used or purchase new ships and upgrades)
Bonus: [Wild child] - A childhood of racing his father's inventions and piloting all manner of craft has let WW gain quite the skills as a pilot. He will surely use them in the coming campaign. + 15 to maneuvering rolls in small craft.
Flaws: [Nutty] - WW insistence on designing essentially an entire new type of fighter based on untried and in some cases, non-existent technology has earned him the moniker of "Nutter" by some in the research field, as such, unless he can prove its worth, he will have a very hard time getting his fighter design approved.

Captain’s Name: Prof. Dr. Karl Wolf
Captain Fluff: Before the War Wolf was a military scientist engaged in the development of numerous ship technologies, however with the death of the Emperor times had changed and Wolf was forced to retreat to the Veil where the last faithful remnants of the Imperial Fleet remained.
Numerous times before men had fought far superior fleets. Back on his homeworld they had adapted and taken the fight from the surface down to the black depths of the ocean where no light could reach. Submarines they were called, ships that struck anywhere with merciless fury.
The Imperial Fleet was faced with a problem that was very alike and they too could develop capacities to take the fight beyond the minds of normal men. Beyond what was even considered the realm of possibility. They would strike from a dimensions others doubted to exist. Karl Wolf would be the father of the Space Submarine Doctrine.

Crew: 2
Upgrades: Gap Drive
Imperial Favor: 0
Bonus:
+ [Master of Stealth] – In your search to make submarine warfare into space warfare, you have yet to find a way to make your ship completely disappear after striking, but in your research you have developed a methodology for sneak attacking using conventional tactics. + 5 to Sneak attacks, if roll is successful, damage is doubled
Flaws:
+ [Zyklon Karl] – A accident in the lab many years ago left Karl with a reliance upon a breathing apparatus. This as a result has left him confined to his respiration chamber for half of most days, and when he is out of it, his mask puts others off quite a bit, as does his odd voice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9wi0cPrU4U
1-2. Fire up the engines! The U-Scruf-I would seperate itself from the main bulk of ships in an attempt to avoid detection, once the fighting would commence the Gap Drive would be utilized to swiftly and unsuspectingly strike the IMS Defiance, however until then it would remain hidden within the black void.

Captain’s Name: CLX-#124
Captain Fluff: CLX-#124 is one of the Empire's most adanced artifiial intelligent military drones. Designed to house the downloaded information of previous pilot aces, captains, as well as expert pilot programming, it is fully capable of piloting any unit it assimilates itself into.
Its central processing unit is surrounded by an array of tools and devices designed to allow it to manually repair, scavenge, or modify technological components. Given enough time and resources, it can repair and pilot a damaged ship alone. Admittedly, they are far more proficient at ships designed for individual piloting, particularly fighters, of which the bulk of their combat expertise is directed at, but they were designed to aid in a population shortage.
It specializes in high speed, high force manuevers and turns of which the G-Force would kill any organic pilots, but not an automated one.

Flaws: [Abomination] – Fleet Command remembers your model, and all the headaches it gave them. They know what you are and what you’re capable of, and they will be reluctant to give you access to real fire power until you can prove you’re loyal.

Captain’s Name: Nihlus Striesse
Captain Fluff: Nihlus was once an up and coming cadet in one of the Empire's myriad Officer schools. He was smart, intuitive and savvy. However his greatest flaw was always his mouth. He was brash, uncouth, even rude at times and that cost him with his fellows, as he always said his mind, even when discretion with his betters would have been wise.
As such his peer reviews were horid and even some of his teachers, those who disliked his manner or were bought by another, were overly harsh on him. This in turn got him relegated to patrol destroyer in the frontier. So while his peers were getting rent limb from limb he himself was patrolling, then fleeing from the coming storm until he could regroup with allies.

You slowly move through the cloud, more like a Owl in a winter forest then a hawk,
"Stop" Angel says, and its good that he did, for he now lies in position to fire on no less then 4 of the fighters and all of the destroyers, which he also notices are forming a sphere around Yuul's Cruiser.
>>35836
Yoto plows through the crowd, intent on smashing into the enemy force and bringing the fury of the Emperor to bear upon them. It is only a quick message from Angel that stops him
"Stop you moron, don't blow our cover just yet!"
Good thing as well, as he soon sees the shape of a destroyer and several fighters moving through the cloud.

WW follows the Hawk into the cloud, and keeps close as it maneuvers to hit the top of the enemy sphere

A master of stealth, a expert in surprise, a aficionado in sneak attacks, Karl Wolf was all these and more, and he was deadly. Thoughts of submarines and wolf packs danced in his head as he moved into the cloud, and he was apparently day dreaming for quite awhile as it is only the loud KLANG KLANG KLANG of the impact alarm warning you of the gun barrel right outside of your window. That Barrel being that of a point defense gun of Lord Yuul's Cruiser.
>>35841
You accompany the Emperor's Light through the cloud, screeching through it in sight of the frigate. You do come to a crushing halt when the frigate cuts its engines and fires retros on full blast, stopping yourself from charging into the enemy defensive sphere.
>>35848
Your mind drifts back to the sim pods in flight school as you fly into the yellow abyss that is the cloud, thinking of the many simulations that you have done like this. In fact, this one in particular reminds you of a particular sim that you a lot of trouble on, one that troubled you so much that you ran it to the point where you could predict the enemy fleet's attack patterns that the pathways of the nebula. You realize with a start that this is because it is the same nebula ! You quickly move into your favorite sniping spot, and sure enough you can see the entire enemy fleet, as you are directly beneath them, in a patch of nebula dense enough to hid your shots but thin enough for you too see through.
>>35857
Thulmir cautiously moves into the cloud, dragging behind his peers. He orders a full stop when the first enemy ship is detected by his ship's scanner, ordering for the lances to be warmed up and the biscuit trays to be secured. Tea will have to wait.

Captain’s Name: Nihlus Striesse
Captain Fluff: Nihlus was once an up and coming cadet in one of the Empire's myriad Officer schools. He was smart, intuitive and savvy. However his greatest flaw was always his mouth. He was brash, uncouth, even rude at times and that cost him with his fellows, as he always said his mind, even when discretion with his betters would have been wise.
As such his peer reviews were horid and even some of his teachers, those who disliked his manner or were bought by another, were overly harsh on him. This in turn got him relegated to patrol destroyer in the frontier. So while his peers were getting rent limb from limb he himself was patrolling, then fleeing from the coming storm until he could regroup with allies.
Ship Name: Perilous
Ship Type: Destroyer
Weapon Systems:

Shields: 150/150
Crew: 100/100
Upgrades: [Shields]
Imperial Favor: 2 (Gained by destroying traitors, used or purchase new ships and upgrades)
Bonus: [Peerless] - Nihlus was one of the brightest, one of the best, yet marred by his arrogance and brashness. It was mere months ago that he was "exiled" to the frontier, and his skills are still fresh. + 5 to all actions.
Flaws: [Pride Cometh] - Your boldness is your strength, but also it feeds your greatest weakness; Pride. You cannot run from fights from ships of the same class or smaller than yours.
Nihlus smiled, all too easy. He drew a bead on the traitor lord's cruiser. It was a large ship ugly and ungainly looking. Perfect for the perfidious filth piloting it. He smiled as he thumbed the triggers for his railguns and fired, targeting the guns of the Cruiser that his lackwitted allies hadn't blocked his shot at.

Nihlus not waiting to see the damage he caused against the Traitor's ship drew his reticle over one of his escorts. The third fighter. He had a perfect position as such he fired both his autocannons into the vessel. Hoping to cripple it enough to make it combat ineffective via ripping it's autocannon apart.

Captain’s Name: CLX-#124
Captain Fluff: CLX-#124 is one of the Empire's most adanced artifiial intelligent military drones. Designed to house the downloaded information of previous pilot aces, captains, as well as expert pilot programming, it is fully capable of piloting any unit it assimilates itself into.
Its central processing unit is surrounded by an array of tools and devices designed to allow it to manually repair, scavenge, or modify technological components. Given enough time and resources, it can repair and pilot a damaged ship alone. Admittedly, they are far more proficient at ships designed for individual piloting, particularly fighters, of which the bulk of their combat expertise is directed at, but they were designed to aid in a population shortage.
It specializes in high speed, high force manuevers and turns of which the G-Force would kill any organic pilots, but not an automated one.

Flaws: [Abomination] – Fleet Command remembers your model, and all the headaches it gave them. They know what you are and what you’re capable of, and they will be reluctant to give you access to real fire power until you can prove you’re loyal. Capped at Destroyer class vessels until deemed efficient and loyal by Fleet Command.

Captain’s Name: Ensign Wolf Wolf Jr.,
Nickname: Wolf Powered, Woof Woof, That Child Soldier. Double W, WW
Captain Fluff: Son of Prof. Col. Wolf Wolf, nephew of Prof. Dr. Karl Wolf. Wolf is a gregarious easy going youth who enjoys himself whenever he has the chance in port. Growing up in a colony where his father was posted he had his father's great workshop to experience all kinds of planes and a good people of an outer world to raise him. He would win piloting competitions and races, the glorious skies of that world will stay with him forever.
While he could experience the fruits of his father's engineering prowess such as muscle cars or fast planes what his father was really working on was a new type of fighter; one far more maneuverable and dangerous than anything the Empire or the Rebel scientists of even the Cullings could produce. With the base model complete it would be ready for field testing it would need a pilot and with the Empire in dire straights it could hardly refuse a young man who would never betray his family and by extension his country.
It was built to hunt down the enemy fighters and cripple systems while surviving amidst incalculable amounts of ship fire, it would be their answer to continuing the Empire's history in military achievement.
Perhaps it just runs in the family.
Ship Name: The Wolf Mk1
Ship Type: Fighter
Weapon Systems:
1 Reaper-Z42 Autocannon. Small slugs, high velocity and rapid rate of fire. Shreds through light armor but ineffective against larger ships.
Damage: 2d10 (Small)
Purifier Missiles: A favorite of fighter pilots, these small missiles pack a mean punch, but are limited in number. Health of Missiles: 5
Damage: 3d10 (Small)
Ship Health: 75/75
Crew: 1/1
Upgrades: [Gap Drive]
Imperial Favor: 2 (Gained by destroying traitors, used or purchase new ships and upgrades)
Bonus: [Wild child] - A childhood of racing his father's inventions and piloting all manner of craft has let WW gain quite the skills as a pilot. He will surely use them in the coming campaign. + 15 to maneuvering rolls in small craft.
Flaws: [Nutty] - WW insistence on designing essentially an entire new type of fighter based on untried and in some cases, non-existent technology has earned him the moniker of "Nutter" by some in the research field, as such, unless he can prove its worth, he will have a very hard time getting his fighter design approved.

With holy fury and the element of sSurprise on their side, the frontier fleet's mighty weapons surge forth from the swirls of the gas cloud and cut into the Miser's Fleet. In a flash of explosive flak Fighters 1 is reduced to clouds of metal filaments, while the First destroyer is cut apart by lances and missile fire before its point defenses can even register the incoming projectiles.
Fighters 2 and 3 also take hits, fighter 2 barely limping along while 3 seems to have sustained light damage.
The Traitor lord's cruiser was not spared as well, as lances from the Lady Annabelle raked its hull. Strangley, this was to little effect as the cruiser merely turned and aimed its main guns on the Frigate, its lances having given away its position. This is before a pair of kinetic slugs rip into the Redeemer pods on the flanks of the Cruiser, seemingly coming from directly below it. The impact causes the cruiser to lurch to one side, before righting itself and locking targets.
A communication rings across the fleet comms from the cruiser, Lord Yuul himself on the screen. A wiry man with sable hair, crooked nose, and long, thimble-tipped fingers.
"PIRATE SCUM, HOW DARE YOU DESTROY MY SHIPS! I PAYED GOOD MONEY FOR THOSE!"
He takes a thin finger and hovers it over a big red button near his command console
"TAKE THIS" He screams as he smashes the button down. Immediately across the fleet incoming projectile warnings light up captain and pilot displays.

Angel immediately sends a voice communication, having actually raided Yuul more than once for catastrophic damage - his poor security made the man's former holdings an easy target for raids.
"Brings back memories, don't it?", the former Pirate Lord transmits, cutting the wire before a response can be sent. His voice will be enough.
The fighter strafing by can only do light damage to the Hawk, and its close proximity makes it an easy target for the precise Autocannons. Should hurt a hell of a lot more on their end.

Flaws: [Nutty] - WW insistence on designing essentially an entire new type of fighter based on untried and in some cases, non-existent technology has earned him the moniker of "Nutter" by some in the research field, as such, unless he can prove its worth, he will have a very hard time getting his fighter design approved.

Captain’s Name: CLX-#124
Captain Fluff: CLX-#124 is one of the Empire's most adanced artifiial intelligent military drones. Designed to house the downloaded information of previous pilot aces, captains, as well as expert pilot programming, it is fully capable of piloting any unit it assimilates itself into.
Its central processing unit is surrounded by an array of tools and devices designed to allow it to manually repair, scavenge, or modify technological components. Given enough time and resources, it can repair and pilot a damaged ship alone. Admittedly, they are far more proficient at ships designed for individual piloting, particularly fighters, of which the bulk of their combat expertise is directed at, but they were designed to aid in a population shortage.
It specializes in high speed, high force manuevers and turns of which the G-Force would kill any organic pilots, but not an automated one.

Upgrade: Armor Piercing Rounds
Stats
Ship Health: 20/20

Imperial Favor: 0 (Gained by destroying traitors, used or purchase new ships and upgrades)
Bonus: [Assuming Direct Control] – Your “escape pod” is in fact your body, and with it you can attack small enemy vessels and take control of them should your ship die.
Flaws: [Abomination] – Fleet Command remembers your model, and all the headaches it gave them. They know what you are and what you’re capable of, and they will be reluctant to give you access to real fire power until you can prove you’re loyal. Capped at Destroyer class vessels until deemed efficient and loyal by Fleet Command.

Angel grins under his helmet as the last focused beam splits a Destroyer in half, slicing up to take the limping fighter nearby with it. He sends out another message to the fleet…
"Right, bastard's down for the count. The half-insane fuckwit in the cruiser's had his point defense taken down, so focus all fire on him: Ignore the last destroyer and the couple of fighters buzzing around unless an opportunity presents itself to deal with them. We kill him and the fleet breaks. Repeat, do NOT fire at anything other than the Cruiser, especially the mine; that shit's explosive, and they'll turn over willingly once Yuul's out of the way."

Yoto orders full speed ahead toward's the traitor's cruiser, valiantly attempting to draw fire upon himself and melt the heretic's armor with his lances. However, a errant round from a destroyer sends his ship off course, and he ends up valiantly taking one of the Cruiser's missile swarms instead
>>44 points of damage have been dealt to you instead of cornwallis
Combat Report
Slugs abound and lances fly inside of the cloud as Heretic and Loyalist do battle. The brief flash of Fighter 2 going critical and exploding in a ball of purple fire is outdone by the much larger explosion of the Second Destroyer, the fleet having focused fire on it in these few minutes. Angel gets a bead on the fifth fighter, itself aiming to light up the fighter of Ensign WW, preoccupied with dancing around the enemies fourth fighter. A quick burst from the Hawk's autocannons put an end to that, the fighter bleeding as it races away from the fiery armor piercing rounds of the Hawk.
The Traitor Flagship takes a beating as well; a beating assisted by the HMS Lady Claire, having just warped in from the Veil, its weapons themselves being targeted. Massed pulse fire puts the point defense out with a electrical fizzle, disabling the enemy fleets ability to deter direct fighter assault and missile barrages, and massed kinetics and missiles put one of the two Redeemer Missile systems out of work in a explosion of unspent ammo, dealing even more damage to Yuul's cruiser.
Yuul curses as his fleet falls apart around him, but a coy smirk crosses his face as he looks to the system wide radar afforded to him as lord of this place.
"Just a little while longer, then these pirates shall all be dead, and their ships decorating this cloud as a message to all others of their kind. Yes, very soon indeed."

Captain’s Name: Nihlus Striesse
Captain Fluff: Nihlus was once an up and coming cadet in one of the Empire's myriad Officer schools. He was smart, intuitive and savvy. However his greatest flaw was always his mouth. He was brash, uncouth, even rude at times and that cost him with his fellows, as he always said his mind, even when discretion with his betters would have been wise.
As such his peer reviews were horid and even some of his teachers, those who disliked his manner or were bought by another, were overly harsh on him. This in turn got him relegated to patrol destroyer in the frontier. So while his peers were getting rent limb from limb he himself was patrolling, then fleeing from the coming storm until he could regroup with allies.

Flaws: [Pride Cometh] - Your boldness is your strength, but also it feeds your greatest weakness; Pride. You cannot run from fights from ships of the same class or smaller than yours.
Nihlus grits his teeth as his shields groan under the stress the fighter's Autocannons. Ignoring the biting fly he once again brings his Railguns up upon the cruiser and fires on it,.

Captain’s Name: Ensign Wolf Wolf Jr.,
Nickname: Wolf Powered, Woof Woof, That Child Soldier. Double W, WW
Captain Fluff: Son of Prof. Col. Wolf Wolf, nephew of Prof. Dr. Karl Wolf. Wolf is a gregarious easy going youth who enjoys himself whenever he has the chance in port. Growing up in a colony where his father was posted he had his father's great workshop to experience all kinds of planes and a good people of an outer world to raise him. He would win piloting competitions and races, the glorious skies of that world will stay with him forever.
While he could experience the fruits of his father's engineering prowess such as muscle cars or fast planes what his father was really working on was a new type of fighter; one far more maneuverable and dangerous than anything the Empire or the Rebel scientists of even the Cullings could produce. With the base model complete it would be ready for field testing it would need a pilot and with the Empire in dire straights it could hardly refuse a young man who would never betray his family and by extension his country.
It was built to hunt down the enemy fighters and cripple systems while surviving amidst incalculable amounts of ship fire, it would be their answer to continuing the Empire's history in military achievement.
Perhaps it just runs in the family.

Captain’s Name: Yoto Satori
Captain Fluff: Satori is what one would comonly call a fanatic. No matter what ship he is captain of he makes sure that there is a shrine and that worship is practiced regularly. He also favors energy weapons, seeing it as 'purging the enemies of the Emperor in holy fire'. He was sent to the fronteir after slapping a superior officer for 'lack of faith'.

Imperial Favor: 2
Bonus: [Holy Fury] – Inside Yoto burns a hatred as hot and white as the stars themselves, when he sets his sights upon a traitor lord, those directly responsible for the Emperor’s Demise, this hatred burns out of him and into the very guns of his ship, increasing their damage. Do Double Damage to Traitor Lord Ships.
Flaws: [Untampered Fury] – While the raging fire burns bright, it so too burns quick, when in a state of Holy Fury, you take twice as much damage as well.

Flaws: [Buffoon] - And as his record cannot be ignored for its length, it cannot also be ignored for its utter horribleness. As such, fleet command is reluctant to grant him the same equipment and ships as other captains. Upgrades and New Ships cost twice as much until you prove your worth.

Yuul's Cruiser is beset on all sides by the Loyalist Fleet, his last weapons disabled or destroyed and the rent worked in his armor pounded incessantly by the Loyalist guns. Eventually his ship cracks under the strain, blowing fully in two, the shock wave throwing all the ships in the immediate area back a bit. Out of the wreckage spills a tiny metal escape pod, with a engine capable of warping out of system. First though, Yuul must survive the next few minutes.

As Yuul attempts to dodge the already incoming fire of the Loyalist fleet, his engines, cheap as all get out, go critical and his craft explodes in a hail of metal and fire. The Traitor lord flails incessantly in the void until a crack in his bargin bin space suit exposes him to space. Almost immediately his blood boils and shoots out of his body forming a cystalline lattice that last all of three seconds before he is smeared across the helm of the Lady Annabelle, the shock causing Captain Thulmir to spill what was quite possibly the best tea he had ever made.

Captain’s Name: Ensign Wolf Wolf Jr.,
Nickname: Wolf Powered, Woof Woof, That Child Soldier. Double W, WW
Captain Fluff: Son of Prof. Col. Wolf Wolf, nephew of Prof. Dr. Karl Wolf. Wolf is a gregarious easy going youth who enjoys himself whenever he has the chance in port. Growing up in a colony where his father was posted he had his father's great workshop to experience all kinds of planes and a good people of an outer world to raise him. He would win piloting competitions and races, the glorious skies of that world will stay with him forever.
While he could experience the fruits of his father's engineering prowess such as muscle cars or fast planes what his father was really working on was a new type of fighter; one far more maneuverable and dangerous than anything the Empire or the Rebel scientists of even the Cullings could produce. With the base model complete it would be ready for field testing it would need a pilot and with the Empire in dire straights it could hardly refuse a young man who would never betray his family and by extension his country.
It was built to hunt down the enemy fighters and cripple systems while surviving amidst incalculable amounts of ship fire, it would be their answer to continuing the Empire's history in military achievement.
Perhaps it just runs in the family.
Ship Name: The Wolf Mk1
Ship Type: Fighter
Weapon Systems:
1 Reaper-Z42 Autocannon. Small slugs, high velocity and rapid rate of fire. Shreds through light armor but ineffective against larger ships.
Damage: 2d10 (Small)
Purifier Missiles: A favorite of fighter pilots, these small missiles pack a mean punch, but are limited in number. Health of Missiles: 5
Damage: 3d10 (Small)
Ship Health: 75/75
Crew: 1/1
Upgrades: [Gap Drive]
Imperial Favor: 2 (Gained by destroying traitors, used or purchase new ships and upgrades)
Bonus: [Wild child] - A childhood of racing his father's inventions and piloting all manner of craft has let WW gain quite the skills as a pilot. He will surely use them in the coming campaign. + 15 to maneuvering rolls in small craft.
Flaws: [Nutty] - WW insistence on designing essentially an entire new type of fighter based on untried and in some cases, non-existent technology has earned him the moniker of "Nutter" by some in the research field, as such, unless he can prove its worth, he will have a very hard time getting his fighter design approved.

Captain’s Name: Nihlus Striesse
Captain Fluff: Nihlus was once an up and coming cadet in one of the Empire's myriad Officer schools. He was smart, intuitive and savvy. However his greatest flaw was always his mouth. He was brash, uncouth, even rude at times and that cost him with his fellows, as he always said his mind, even when discretion with his betters would have been wise.
As such his peer reviews were horid and even some of his teachers, those who disliked his manner or were bought by another, were overly harsh on him. This in turn got him relegated to patrol destroyer in the frontier. So while his peers were getting rent limb from limb he himself was patrolling, then fleeing from the coming storm until he could regroup with allies.

Crew: 100/100

Imperial Favor: 2 (Gained by destroying traitors, used or purchase new ships and upgrades)
Bonus: [Peerless] - Nihlus was one of the brightest, one of the best, yet marred by his arrogance and brashness. It was mere months ago that he was "exiled" to the frontier, and his skills are still fresh. + 5 to all actions.
Flaws: [Pride Cometh] - Your boldness is your strength, but also it feeds your greatest weakness; Pride. You cannot run from fights from ships of the same class or smaller than yours.
Nihlus puts a reticle over for his autocannons over each mining ship. One each. Then he fires.

Captain’s Name: CLX-#124
Captain Fluff: CLX-#124 is one of the Empire's most adanced artifiial intelligent military drones. Designed to house the downloaded information of previous pilot aces, captains, as well as expert pilot programming, it is fully capable of piloting any unit it assimilates itself into.
Its central processing unit is surrounded by an array of tools and devices designed to allow it to manually repair, scavenge, or modify technological components. Given enough time and resources, it can repair and pilot a damaged ship alone. Admittedly, they are far more proficient at ships designed for individual piloting, particularly fighters, of which the bulk of their combat expertise is directed at, but they were designed to aid in a population shortage.
It specializes in high speed, high force manuevers and turns of which the G-Force would kill any organic pilots, but not an automated one.

Bonus: [Assuming Direct Control] – Your “escape pod” is in fact your body, and with it you can attack small enemy vessels and take control of them should your ship die.
Flaws: [Abomination] – Fleet Command remembers your model, and all the headaches it gave them. They know what you are and what you’re capable of, and they will be reluctant to give you access to real fire power until you can prove you’re loyal. Capped at Destroyer class vessels until deemed efficient and loyal by Fleet Command.
Following the bandwagon, the fighter unloads what's left in his guns towards the nearest hostile thing coming outta warp, and then warps off himself.

PIRATE ATTACK AT FRUNO'S CLOUD, VALIANT LORD YUUL FOUND DEAD
Earlier this week the magnanimous Lord Yarthon Yuul was assisting Imperial Miners in Furno's Cloud on the edge of the Frontier when he and his escort came under attack by an unknown pirate group. They slaughtered the noble lord, best known for his role in allowing valiant freedom fighters into the Imperial Throne Room to depose the old Tyrant, and his guard, before warping off just as a Fleet from the nearby planet Arcturus came to reinforce the beleaguered escort fleet. Imperial forces are looking into this attack, and more news is to follow as we learn more.
NEW KING VISITS IMPERIAL HOSPITAL
Our magnificent new Ruler, in his unending charity and bottomless kindess, took time out of his very busy schedule of ruling the galaxy today to visit the Terminal patient ward in the Imperial Hospital. Patients were delighted to see him, and there was much fanfare. He later vowed to double down on research for curing a common ailment on mining worlds, the dreaded Black Lung. Truly we are blessed to be ruled by a man such as he."

He would not have risen as high as he did had he not. Now the time comes to put his skills to work again, and not for himself for a change. May reroll one combat action per turn
Flaws: [Pirate Scum] – Your name, and your past, follow you like the moon of Ra’kathum follows the suns, you are recognized, but not for the reason one would want to be. This has the adverse effect of Fleet Command taking less notice of your good actions, and more notice of your mistakes. Half favor gain and double Favor loss until you prove you are more than your past.

Captain’s Name: CLX-#124
Captain Fluff: CLX-#124 is one of the Empire's most adanced artifiial intelligent military drones. Designed to house the downloaded information of previous pilot aces, captains, as well as expert pilot programming, it is fully capable of piloting any unit it assimilates itself into.
Its central processing unit is surrounded by an array of tools and devices designed to allow it to manually repair, scavenge, or modify technological components. Given enough time and resources, it can repair and pilot a damaged ship alone. Admittedly, they are far more proficient at ships designed for individual piloting, particularly fighters, of which the bulk of their combat expertise is directed at, but they were designed to aid in a population shortage.
It specializes in high speed, high force manuevers and turns of which the G-Force would kill any organic pilots, but not an automated one.

Flaws: [Abomination] – Fleet Command remembers your model, and all the headaches it gave them. They know what you are and what you’re capable of, and they will be reluctant to give you access to real fire power until you can prove you’re loyal. Capped at Destroyer class vessels until deemed efficient and loyal by Fleet Command.

FC Zuric walks into the debriefing room on the Station Aluxia, Bastion of the Veil and current head of what is left of the Empire. It contains no less then 1.5 million Souls and drydocks for a fleet several times larger then the one you currently pilot, and by god is it beautiful. The way that the Veil's violet sun shines on its polished meter thick titanium armor, the way the many guns it has glisten in the star light, it makes a man tear up. But that's not why you're here.
Many of you note that the oft Grim and Stern Fleet Commander has the slightest twinge of a smile on his face as he walks into the room. It remains when he sits at his desk, in front of which all pilots and captains are waiting at attention.
"At ease men, you've earned some rest."
You all drop your salutes, in in CLX-#124's case, combat tentacle, and relax.
"You boys did some mighty fine work, Yuul was one of our chief targets, and with him dead we've sent a message to the Rebellion's upper echelons."
He takes a break before looking at three members of the fleet in particular. The Elderly Captain Artemis, the Former Pirate, and Brash young Nihlus
Thulmir I must say you've surprised me, maybe the reports I've read about you weren't
as accurate as I thought, and I must say that for a pirate Elijah, you know how to work as team. And don't think I forgot you Nihlus, that move to hide in the gas cloud was brilliant, maybe the reports about you were right after all…
You've all earned some rest as we look for the next batch of targets to hit. Good job men, you've done the Emperor's work today, and with Yuul's death, we come on step closer to restoring order to the Galaxy.
Dismissed"
>> You have a turn or two of downtime to upgrade your ship, build connections with fleet command at the Veil, or search for new targets to hit. Spend them as you wish.

WW was light of hair and long-limbed. The Wolf and the Hawk had done some good work together in the field and he wanted to congratulate his fellow ensign on his commendation. The rumors that he was a ex-pirate kingpin or the like weren't going to stop him from making a friend.
Approaching him after we were dismissed was easy, others gave him a wide berth.
"Angel wasn't it? That was a good fight, you had some good positioning and it made my job pretty easy. A little too easy since I was hoping to get some renown for Imperial pilots and all I did was clean-up duty and giving some slowpokes the slip. Still it is good to know I didn't get a scratch of the Wold."

Captain’s Name: Nihlus Striesse
Captain Fluff: Nihlus was once an up and coming cadet in one of the Empire's myriad Officer schools. He was smart, intuitive and savvy. However his greatest flaw was always his mouth. He was brash, uncouth, even rude at times and that cost him with his fellows, as he always said his mind, even when discretion with his betters would have been wise.
As such his peer reviews were horid and even some of his teachers, those who disliked his manner or were bought by another, were overly harsh on him. This in turn got him relegated to patrol destroyer in the frontier. So while his peers were getting rent limb from limb he himself was patrolling, then fleeing from the coming storm until he could regroup with allies.

1 Practice my piloting in simulation. I am a fine pilot but I could always be better and you never know who is watching for excellent scores. Maybe I can even take the top score and put my initials in maybe get my initials put up on some plaque.
2 Meet with a science or engineering officer in fleet command at the Veil. The craft he wanted to build the knowledge and industry it would take to assemble. He would need people that would work with him and that believed in what a next generation fighter could do to change the battlefield. Perhaps he would find friends who could help.

Was that the drone piloting the fighter in the science bay? Was it getting its memory copied so they could review his data? I wonder if he save my data? It could probably help to have something to look at during downtime and maybe even learn a thing or two about piloting these fighters.

If I'm gonna do a job, thought Angel, Damn right I'm gonna do it well.
>>36148
The former menace of the Empire, Angel, had an appearance as mysterious as his bearing; a tall, lean form clad in an advanced armor of some alien mesh, covered by a ragged but elegant white coat, mantled with black fur and inscribed with EB on the hem. ((>>35747)).
"Had a lot of experience strafing Imperial craft. Raided that same froth-mouted old lord once or twice, even." Angel shrugs, the armor pressing against the shoulders of his coat. "Besides, it's not about the glory. It's about doing a damn good job - regardless of whether people recognize it or not. Keep fighting well, and people will notice. Sure as hell did in my case at least." Elijah nods his head, his lips difficult to read beneath the encasement of his armor. "'Sides, means less time in dock."
1. Angel is going to be rigorously training his crew, particularly his bridge staff, up to his own mysterious standard and using his own methods. An efficient command means an efficient ship, and an efficient fleet. He didn't choose these officers, but they're going to be damn good.
2. He's also going to be spending some time practicing his shooting, fitness, and CQC, mostly out of habit.

"Haha, you're quite cheeky for a robot but then I've never seen any robots outside of vids. You flew that fighter around pretty well though and we fighters should stick together….say, would you be interested in a bigger, stronger, faster fighter? Because I have some ideas that would allow a single, perhaps even two pilots, to control something more powerful then a cruiser and faster then a fighter. I've been called…well I don't know if a robot would know that word but the point is a number of people don't think this kind of revolutionary craft can exist with what we have but I KNOW it can be done."
It was then that he realized that some industrial wiring on the ground were actually metal tentacles and what WW had assumed was a large diagnostic frame to house a small body was in fact the armored form of the drone.

However through every failure and disaster he still limps along, determined to do his duty to the empire.

1/2. Yoto strides into the war room on the 4th deck of the Aluxia, observing all of the holo-projectors and Data displays. Men in various colors of uniform are everywhere, talking and gesturing to the various displays while looking at their own data slates. You worm your way around the busy room, listening in on many conversations before finally taking interest in a conversation taking place between two junior officers about a rebel prisoner station holding captives from the Slaughter of the Guard at Tannhäuser Gate. Immediately you join the conversation, talking of your recent engagements with the Traitors at Furno's Cloud. After several minutes conversation, you eventually discover that the prisoners are being held in a station inside of the gas giant Orion in the Luxia system, close to the frontier. I was known in Imperial days as the place where traitors and heretics of the highest order were sent for "processing".

1. Nihlus leaves the debrief content with his performance, pleased that command did well to acknowledge his stellar performance in the last battle, though he thought they should have attributed Yuul's death to him, he was the one that work the rent in his cruiser's armor after all….
It mattered not now, Yuul was dead and Nihlus was eager to seek better gear for his ship. The best way to do that was to talk to the men who researched and tested the guns: R&D.
Captain Striesse descended down the center spine of Aluxia, down down down to R&D, located on the bottom deck of the station. Once there, he sought out the researchers who looked like they were working on something related to what he sought and began to use some of the skills he learned at the Academy, particularly his lessons in physics and chemistry. Although his knowledge was amateurish compared to the scientist of Research and Development, he talked enough and at length to impress them slightly, and once he left the discussion of the researchers turned from the interaction of high-velocity metal and hull to the new captain from up top that took an interest in the sciences of war.

1. Wolf wolf left the debriefing in a rush, eager to test his piloting skills once more. As his fighter was in the repair bay being rearmed and repaired from his last battle, he would try the flight sims on the training deck instead. Unfortunately, he was halted on his journey by a malfunctioning elevator, where he spent several hours merely thinking about flying.
2. After finally escaping the elevator and finding his way to R&D, WW rushed to met with any scientist that would hear his idea for a new fighter type. Unfortunately for him, none would, and he was rejected as a hauteur that was more obsessed with boyish fantasies then real science.
>Nutty upgraded to:
[Enemies in R&D] - Your brash and bold attitude, along with the many problems with your design, have led to R&D writing you off as a fool, and as such all dealings you have with them in the future will be hampered. - 5 to further dealings with R&D until you prove your competence
>>36152
1. While WW's attempt to garner favor fall on contemptful ears, you do manage to garner some attention with simply being what you are as many of these scientist have only read of your kind, as sentient A.I. is not common in the Galacy after the precedent that your kind set. Still, a chance to study you cannot be passed up.
>Friends in R&D: 1/6
2. You begin to download and integrate some manuals on engineering and construction of the Executor-Class fighter vessels the Royal Guard uses, though you are often stonewalled by not having high enough clearance to access many of the intricate systems nessecary to let you tamper with it on as deep of a level as you would wish. You can however get a feel for the outer hull composition and layout, allowing you to begin to understand how to do repairs to your ship on the fly.

1. Angel takes his crew, which is much more professional and willing to train then any he has had before, and puts them through the rigors of becoming a experienced and well-oiled combat crew. He trains them for the better part of a day, running through all the various scenarios he can think up and has experienced personally: Enemy boarding, fire on the ship, hull ruptures, power failures, evasive maneuvering and running silent. The men are hard pressed and some buckle under the pressure, but this is what Angel wants, to break them and remold them as superior soldiers. Progress goes quite nicely.
Crew Training 4/6
2. After that, Angel takes the central spine elevator on the station to the training deck, avoiding the elevator labelled "OUT OF SERVICE", and he swears he hears a faint moaning coming from the elevator doors.
He goes up several floors from the hangar to the Training deck, where fresh recruits from the few communities that exist in the Veil train for the war to come, and older soldiers train for battles that will soon be fought.
Angel himself takes to the sparring ring first, where a contingent of Royal Marines are practicing CCQ. Angel decides to step in the ring and show them a thing or two, and the marines would be hard-pressed to reject and opportunity to beat the ever-living piss out of a pirate.
Unfortunately for them Angel is no mere pirate. After trouncing more then 5 marines in a row with only a few bruises and a single cut on his left eye to show for it, the marines concede defeat, praising angel for his combat skills, and the sergeant even asks Angel if he'd be willing to become a trainer for the soldiers.
After this, he spends some time at the shooting range, the feel of the Imperial Rifle odd in his hands, and the bark of it quite queer, as he is used to the bullets it fires coming at him not from him. Still he hammers almost every target, beating almost every score on the range that day.
Angel ends the session with a quick jog through one of the many training halls on the deck, this one a small jungle. The mist from the trees feels fresh on his skin, and his muscles burn with the satisfaction of a proper workout. He leaps over logs, slides under sideways trees, and wraps it up with a dive from a waterfall into a crystal blue pool below it. After this he showers and heads back to his quarters in the Hawk, where he reviews the battle footage from the last two engagements.

1. The Wise Captain Artemis heads off from the debrief slightly satisfied with his performance, and being a father to his men his thoughts immediately turn to them. He heads to the quarter master to ensure that his ship is in top shape. While he is there, he also ensures that the ammo and fuel of his ship is the best he can acquire. His words and wisdom find hold in the quarter master, and he promises to ensure that you will receive the best that he can acquire.

After pleading with the man for some decent food, he finally relents and makes a small concession.

Captain’s Name: Ensign Wolf Wolf Jr.,
Nickname: Wolf Powered, Woof Woof, That Child Soldier. Double W, WW
Captain Fluff: Son of Prof. Dr. Karl Wolf. Wolf is a gregarious easy going youth who enjoys himself whenever he has the chance in port. Growing up in a colony where his father was posted he had his father's great workshop to experience all kinds of planes and a good people of an outer world to raise him. He would win piloting competitions and races, the glorious skies of that world will stay with him forever.
While he could experience the fruits of his father's engineering prowess such as muscle cars or fast planes what his father was really working on was a new type of fighter; one far more maneuverable and dangerous than anything the Empire or the Rebel scientists of even the Cullings could produce. With the base model complete it would be ready for field testing it would need a pilot and with the Empire in dire straights it could hardly refuse a young man who would never betray his family and by extension his country.
It was built to hunt down the enemy fighters and cripple systems while surviving amidst incalculable amounts of ship fire, it would be their answer to continuing the Empire's history in military achievement.
Perhaps it just runs in the family.
Ship Name: The Wolf Mk1
Ship Type: Fighter
Weapon Systems:
1 Reaper-Z42 Autocannon. Small slugs, high velocity and rapid rate of fire. Shreds through light armor but ineffective against larger ships.
Damage: 3d10 (Small)
Purifier Missiles: A favorite of fighter pilots, these small missiles pack a mean punch, but are limited in number. Health of Missiles: 5
Damage: 3d10 (Small)
Ship Health: 75/75
Crew: 1/1
Upgrades: [Gap Drive]
Imperial Favor: 25
Bonus: [Wild child] - A childhood of racing his father's inventions and piloting all manner of craft has let WW gain quite the skills as a pilot. He will surely use them in the coming campaign. + 15 to maneuvering rolls in small craft.
Flaws: [Enemies in R&D] - Your brash and bold attitude, along with the many problems with your design, have led to R&D writing you off as a fool, and as such all dealings you have with them in the future will be hampered. - 5 to further dealings with R&D until you prove your competence
12 Wolf was not one to be put off so easily. He would focus on what he knew best with the solid mechanical designs of the frame and limbs. "You see this arm here can contract into the wing base with this extension here becoming the wing. Compared to a normal fighter this fighter has a greater external area to fit thrusters or additional weapons. With standard thrusters here, here and here front and back it would improve maneuverability to the point that a typical fighter could hardly even attempt to flank it which means with enough prediction engines to prop up the pilot he could take track even a fighter's cockpit from several angels that a typical fighter isn't capable of without total devotion to the maneuver."

Angel is hardly satisfied as it stands - the crew of the Hawk have seen a great deal of improvement under Angel's intense simulations, even after just a full day of running them, but they have a great way to go; and simulations only go so far. Still, another round of running mock boarding combat, silent runs, strafing, harassment, and damage protocol will do wonders. The crew that crack now won't do so when the Hawk is under serious fire; and a crew that can handle pressure and make quick decisions is the foundation of any genius maneuver. [Crew Training I 4/6]
2. A trainer for the Royal Marines? That's a funny concept, considering that those same boys have a death warrant hanging over his head. Then again, who better to drill marines into a combat-ready, brutally efficient force than someone with a proper grudge? Besides, after so long cramped up in a maximum security cell, running and shooting feel damn well blissful. It'll be useful as all hell. [Soldiery I 5/6]

Captain’s Name: CLX-#124
Captain Fluff: CLX-#124 is one of the Empire's most adanced artifiial intelligent military drones. Designed to house the downloaded information of previous pilot aces, captains, as well as expert pilot programming, it is fully capable of piloting any unit it assimilates itself into.
Its central processing unit is surrounded by an array of tools and devices designed to allow it to manually repair, scavenge, or modify technological components. Given enough time and resources, it can repair and pilot a damaged ship alone. Admittedly, they are far more proficient at ships designed for individual piloting, particularly fighters, of which the bulk of their combat expertise is directed at, but they were designed to aid in a population shortage.
It specializes in high speed, high force manuevers and turns of which the G-Force would kill any organic pilots, but not an automated one.

Bonus: [Assuming Direct Control] – Your “escape pod” is in fact your body, and with it you can attack small enemy vessels and take control of them should your ship die.

Captain’s Name: Nihlus Striesse
Captain Fluff: Nihlus was once an up and coming cadet in one of the Empire's myriad Officer schools. He was smart, intuitive and savvy. However his greatest flaw was always his mouth. He was brash, uncouth, even rude at times and that cost him with his fellows, as he always said his mind, even when discretion with his betters would have been wise.
As such his peer reviews were horid and even some of his teachers, those who disliked his manner or were bought by another, were overly harsh on him. This in turn got him relegated to patrol destroyer in the frontier. So while his peers were getting rent limb from limb he himself was patrolling, then fleeing from the coming storm until he could regroup with allies.

1/2. After hearing the grisly details of the prison, Yoto rushes to the office of FC Zuric to demand an opportunity to rescue their beleaguered comrades, by the emperor such an atrocity such as this cannot be allowed to occur.
To Yoto's surprise, FC Zuric is in his office with some of Fleet Command's senior staff overlooking a holo-projection of Orion and the Prison complex, known as "The Anchor", and the current disposition of the small enemy fleet around it. Surprised by Yoto's bursting in on the meeting, FC Zuric stern face wraps into a wry smile as he begins to open his mouth to speak. "Eager one, aren't we Captain Yoto. You, I will say, are the first captain I've ever had asked for an assignment that I am mere hours away from giving him. Such boldness is something we could surely use more of, but keep in mind to temper your fury boy, for the fire that burns twice as bright burns half as long, and in this sea of darkness we need all the illumination we can get."

1/2. Wolf Wolf again descends to R&R, the researchers lamenting as he stomps out of the elevator once again talking of his impossible dream. Not to mention that all fighters already had thrusters all over and that a 3-D battle space necessitates being able to move in all directions at once, and that his design would only increase the area for an enemy to shoot at, alas, they humored him again.
This time however, his words find purchase in the ears of someone. Dopey, the failed lobotomite that has only as he calls it "tribial blain damage", and janitor of the R&D floor, who by the nature of his position could make use of the equipment and data when the R&D staff are off hours. He promises to help you when he can, though his skills might be small.

The current war situation necessitated that each man be used to the best of his ability, and the tactics angel was teaching them was to ensure that is the case. He learns a bit of tactical combat as well, as pirates fight as individuals, as lions. Soldiers, however, fight as the wolf, as a pack.

Captain A. Thulmir
To your surprise several hours later there is a knock on the door to your quarters when you just laid down to rest, it is the quartermaster for your ship, asking you what to do with a special package you've received in the last hour. When you ask him "What bloody package?" he looks at you with a curious tilt of the head, before gesturing to the docks, where a mass of steel crates and barrels lie in a neat stack, and already men begin to load them into the Lady Annabelle. You look at the manifest, which list enough tea leaves and brandy for 4 years, all of it top shelf. You also notice one extra bottle, standing out as it in fact one bottle.
"Vintage 11754: Muy'liu's Vineyard, a very rare vintage captain, I assure." Your quatermaster says as he eyes it greedily.

A notifications shows up on all captains datapads, priority Gamma. Orders from on high it would seem.
ALL CAPTAINS REPORT TO THE BRIEFING ROOM ON LEVEL 7 DECK 4 IMMEDIATELY
The Captains comply and all report to the Briefing expecting orders. They arrive to a stern, short women with blonde hair and blue eyes, a long scar running down her face on her left eye, but still quite beautiful.
Her beauty is noted, but when she starts to speak, so is her gruffness;
"Hello Captains and junior officers…" She looks to angel with slight look of disgust
"…I am Officer Grayson, here on behalf of the Fleet Commander to brief you on your next mission. It is of the utmost importance that you succeed at this. Your task is to raid the Orbital Prison at the Gas Giant Orion, in the Luxia system. In this station, known as "The Anchor", surviving officers and possibly some admirals from the Slaughter at Tannhäuser Gate, and other captured after the assassination of the Emperor, are being held and most likely tortured to reveal any information about the whereabouts of the remnants of the guard. The Imperium may be telling its citizens and the common soldier that the war is won, but the higher ups know it is only just beginning, and if they get the knowledge that these officers possess then this war could be very short indeed."
She turns and gestures to the holo-projection, showing the gas giant Orion, with a small shape representing the station and several smaller shapes representing the picket fleet currently guarding the station.
"You can see the Station; Which for this mission shall be dubbed "CAGE", and the small fleet surrounding it, the fleet image you see represented on the Holo-Projection is from one of our scout probes as was taken only hours ago. You are to drop into system in immediate range of the station, destroy the picket fleet, upon which the Troop Carrier "HANGMAN" shall warp in and board the station, command of this boarding party shall be lead by Ensign Elijah, Fleet Command believes that his "skill" (At this Officer Grayson faces contorts, as one would when tasting something particularity foul) will be the most useful in the boarding and quick extraction of the Royal Guard and Loyal Imperial Navy officers. Once all of the officers are extracted you are to destroy the station, the Frigate HMS Lady Annabelle will be equipped with a special weapon for this task."
The holo-projection pans out, coming to a view where the star Luxia, angry and red, comes into view, it then magnifies the capital planet of the system, the Tropical World Episatlia.
"Expect resistance continuously as soon as you make contact with the Traitor fleet. Initial reinforcements will be delayed in their response by a diversionary attack on Mines on the border of the system's Asteroid belt carried out by the newly rebuilt Fighter Squadron "Feta", but once the Rebels learn of your true intent they will bring the full force of the system fleet down upon you, this is why speed is key to this operation."
Officer Grayson flicks the projector off, then turns to face the captains sitting and standing around the room.
"You have your orders, you cannot fail in this task. You will depart immediately for Luxia. By the Emperor's light."
She leaves the room.
End Briefing

>Cornwallis: You are equipped with 1 ZZ-7 Fusion Torpedo, which has been essentially jury rigged to your hull for this mission. As it is essentially 3/4th's the size of your ship, you are slowed for this mission, taking a - 10 to any maneuvering rolls.
ZZ-7 Fusion Torpedo: Massive Torpedoes often carried by capital ships, used in the destruction of Stationary orbital objects and small moons. Massive destructive power on a scale the likes of which are legendary, but also limited in use due to their volatile nature and difficulty to produce in part because of the rare components used in its destruction.
Damage: 1d1000 (Heavy)
>Elias: Your captain has been given the honor of leading the boarding party, you will board the Hangman once the enemy fleet has been destroyed, and you are in charge of securing the prisoners and ensuring they make it alive to the Hangman for extraction. While this is going on you will have a officer in command of the hawk, so you can still use it when enemy reinforcements jump in.

Angel's face is shockingly expressive for a mask of cybernetic armor as Grayson speaks, eyebrows raising and mouth smirking as the woman speaks his name in disgust, making obviously irritated references to his supposed 'skill'. The pirate sits up straight in interest, but keeps silent as she talks, only getting in a word as the officer leaves - his voice as military and strong as ever, but with a lifted, entertained youthfullness.
"Hey, hardass. I'm gonna bring in every last loyalist from the Anchor, unharmed and wrapped up in a basket. Not for you - just 'cause I can."
Angel shrugs.
"Thought you might want to know that in advance." Without hesitation, he turns to the other officers in the room.
"Anyone want to volunteer for the boarding party from the Officer ranks? You'll have to put up with me if you do. And a medal."

Captain Fluff: Son of Prof. Dr. Karl Wolf. Wolf is a gregarious easy going youth who enjoys himself whenever he has the chance in port. Growing up in a colony where his father was posted he had his father's great workshop to experience all kinds of planes and a good people of an outer world to raise him. He would win piloting competitions and races, the glorious skies of that world will stay with him forever.
While he could experience the fruits of his father's engineering prowess such as muscle cars or fast planes what his father was really working on was a new type of fighter; one far more maneuverable and dangerous than anything the Empire or the Rebel scientists of even the Cullings could produce. With the base model complete it would be ready for field testing it would need a pilot and with the Empire in dire straights it could hardly refuse a young man who would never betray his family and by extension his country.
It was built to hunt down the enemy fighters and cripple systems while surviving amidst incalculable amounts of ship fire, it would be their answer to continuing the Empire's history in military achievement.
Perhaps it just runs in the family.

As such his peer reviews were horid and even some of his teachers, those who disliked his manner or were bought by another, were overly harsh on him. This in turn got him relegated to patrol destroyer in the frontier. So while his peers were getting rent limb from limb he himself was patrolling, then fleeing from the coming storm until he could regroup with allies.

Captain’s Name: Prof. Dr. Karl Wolf
Captain Fluff: Before the War Wolf was a military scientist engaged in the development of numerous ship technologies, however with the death of the Emperor times had changed and Wolf was forced to retreat to the Veil where the last faithful remnants of the Imperial Fleet remained.
Numerous times before men had fought far superior fleets. Back on his homeworld they had adapted and taken the fight from the surface down to the black depths of the ocean where no light could reach. Submarines they were called, ships that struck anywhere with merciless fury.
The Imperial Fleet was faced with a problem that was very alike and they too could develop capacities to take the fight beyond the minds of normal men. Beyond what was even considered the realm of possibility. They would strike from a dimensions others doubted to exist. Karl Wolf would be the father of the Space Submarine Doctrine.
Welcome to making history, fuckboiis.

Flaws:
+ [Zyklon Karl] – A accident in the lab many years ago left Karl with a reliance upon a breathing apparatus. This as a result has left him confined to his respiration chamber for half of most days, and when he is out of it, his mask puts others off quite a bit, as does his odd voice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9wi0cPrU4U

The Fleet rendezvous at the edge of the The Veil, Aluxia a distant dot illuminated by the Violet star of the system. The Captains all preform routine pre-jump diagnostics, Captain Thulmir has his second lieutenant pour him a glass of his Star Brandy, Angel manually checks the bolt on his rifle which he has brought for the boarding operation, and Yoto eyes the massive torpedo tube on The HMS Annabelle. After a all clear resounds from all pilots and captains of the fleet, the jump sequence commences.
It is a odd thing to observe a jump from a third person viewpoint. At first the ship seems to stretch out, then compress to the point of a psuedo-singularity. In the eyes of the beholder the ship at first stretches out in front of them, before everything around them becomes a tunnel of light before space comes back into view. Stars stretch out as they pass by you in less then a second, before finally it all screeches to a halt, and the jump is over.
By now the fleet has done this several times, and the sense of wonderment has long left the green recruits of the crew, but still men like Thulmir have to admire the beauty of it all. Almost as beautiful as the lances of his ship cutting into the hulls of traitors. Artemis always loved the sight of that, fused hull plates drifting in the void, he mused on the beauty of such things, of war, as his fleet dropped out of warp less then 5 kilometers from the picket fleet, guns already charging and targets quickly being called. A quick glance at the incoming data report from his ships intel officer reveals the disposition of the Enemy's forces, which Thulmir quickly passes onto the rest of the fleet before raising his brandy glass into the air in a fleetwide toast.
"Death to Traitors and peace to the Empire. By the Emperor's light, let us make war!"
He downs the glass in one gulp, and he cannot pinpoint why, but he feels…. different.

Captain’s Name: Ensign Wolf Wolf Jr.,
Nickname: Wolf Powered, Woof Woof, That Child Soldier. Double W, WW
Captain Fluff: Son of Prof. Dr. Karl Wolf. Wolf is a gregarious easy going youth who enjoys himself whenever he has the chance in port. Growing up in a colony where his father was posted he had his father's great workshop to experience all kinds of planes and a good people of an outer world to raise him. He would win piloting competitions and races, the glorious skies of that world will stay with him forever.
While he could experience the fruits of his father's engineering prowess such as muscle cars or fast planes what his father was really working on was a new type of fighter; one far more maneuverable and dangerous than anything the Empire or the Rebel scientists of even the Cullings could produce. With the base model complete it would be ready for field testing it would need a pilot and with the Empire in dire straights it could hardly refuse a young man who would never betray his family and by extension his country.
It was built to hunt down the enemy fighters and cripple systems while surviving amidst incalculable amounts of ship fire, it would be their answer to continuing the Empire's history in military achievement.
Perhaps it just runs in the family.
Ship Name: The Wolf Mk1
Ship Type: Fighter
Weapon Systems:
1 Reaper-Z42 Autocannon. Small slugs, high velocity and rapid rate of fire. Shreds through light armor but ineffective against larger ships.

Bonus: [Wild child] - A childhood of racing his father's inventions and piloting all manner of craft has let WW gain quite the skills as a pilot. He will surely use them in the coming campaign. + 15 to maneuvering rolls in small craft.
Flaws: [Enemies in R&D] - Your brash and bold attitude, along with the many problems with your design, have led to R&D writing you off as a fool, and as such all dealings you have with them in the future will be hampered. - 5 to further dealings with R&D until you prove your competence

Flaws: [Buffoon] - And as his record cannot be ignored for its length, it cannot also be ignored for its utter horribleness. As such, fleet command is reluctant to grant him the same equipment and ships as other captains. Upgrades and New Ships cost twice as much until you prove your worth.

Flaws: [Pirate Scum] – Your name, and your past, follow you like the moon of Ra’kathum follows the suns, you are recognized, but not for the reason one would want to be. This has the adverse effect of Fleet Command taking less notice of your good actions, and more notice of your mistakes. Half favor gain and double Favor loss until you prove you are more than your past.

Captain’s Name: Herbert Strenhausen IV
Nickname: Sherbet Funhouse, Fat Fuck, Captain Pyle
Captain Fluff: The third son of Baron Strenhausen III, Herbert was a sheer and utter disappointment in every way. Out of shape, flabby, and a wee-bit autistic, nevertheless Strenhausen was awarded a ship to command for his nobility. However, even he knew of his physical limitations, mostly from his endless hazing during the Academy that carried on all the way till he was assigned his ship, but even still, and so he chose to sacrifice his body for the sake of the empire. Gone were his rather useless legs and arms, and instead came docking ports that allowed him to hook up and synch in with the ship he pilots to further his combat ability. That way, he could do what he did best: sit around and shoot things on a screen. But in this case he would instead proudly serve the Empire by doing so.

Captain’s Name: CLX-#124
Captain Fluff: CLX-#124 is one of the Empire's most adanced artifiial intelligent military drones. Designed to house the downloaded information of previous pilot aces, captains, as well as expert pilot programming, it is fully capable of piloting any unit it assimilates itself into.
Its central processing unit is surrounded by an array of tools and devices designed to allow it to manually repair, scavenge, or modify technological components. Given enough time and resources, it can repair and pilot a damaged ship alone. Admittedly, they are far more proficient at ships designed for individual piloting, particularly fighters, of which the bulk of their combat expertise is directed at, but they were designed to aid in a population shortage.
It specializes in high speed, high force manuevers and turns of which the G-Force would kill any organic pilots, but not an automated one.

Bonus: [Assuming Direct Control] – Your “escape pod” is in fact your body, and with it you can attack small enemy vessels and take control of them should your ship die.
Flaws: [Abomination] – Fleet Command remembers your model, and all the headaches it gave them. They know what you are and what you’re capable of, and they will be reluctant to give you access to real fire power until you can prove you’re loyal. Capped at Destroyer class vessels until deemed efficient and loyal by Fleet Command.

Captain’s Name: Prof. Dr. Karl Wolf
Captain Fluff: Before the War Wolf was a military scientist engaged in the development of numerous ship technologies, however with the death of the Emperor times had changed and Wolf was forced to retreat to the Veil where the last faithful remnants of the Imperial Fleet remained.
Numerous times before men had fought far superior fleets. Back on his homeworld they had adapted and taken the fight from the surface down to the black depths of the ocean where no light could reach. Submarines they were called, ships that struck anywhere with merciless fury.
The Imperial Fleet was faced with a problem that was very alike and they too could develop capacities to take the fight beyond the minds of normal men. Beyond what was even considered the realm of possibility. They would strike from a dimensions others doubted to exist. Karl Wolf would be the father of the Space Submarine Doctrine.

Flaws:
+ [Zyklon Karl] – A accident in the lab many years ago left Karl with a reliance upon a breathing apparatus. This as a result has left him confined to his respiration chamber for half of most days, and when he is out of it, his mask puts others off quite a bit, as does his odd voice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9wi0cPrU4U

The Battle commences as the Frontier Fleet exits warp, weapons hot and kinetics outgoing. The Rebel fleet, paltry and unprepared, is caught completely off guard by the random, much larger, fleet warping in and shooting at them. The fighters are all gunned down mere moments after the Loyalist warp in, with stray shots grazing the Frigate as well. Its reactor is damage by a strafing run from the hawk, but it continues to operate; that is, until CLX-124, always the opportunist, pounds into the damaged reactor with his autocannons, causing it to finally break under the fire. The Station is not exempt from fire as well, as Captain Yoto attempts to disable the enemies communications relay, his pulse guns almost succeeding in doing so, but falling short. A barrage of missiles from the Hawk destroys 3 of the 4 idle pulse guns, and the elusive pilot Karl "The Gasser" Wolf destroys the massive rocket array on the installation with his crippling sneak attack on its weak points.
A reinforcement arrives from the Veil, a newly minted destroyer piloted by one of the more ' esoteric ' recruits from the last batch of cadets from fleet academy. Where as most pilots and captains already integrate with their ships via a neural link, Ensign Herbert Strenhausen IV has had his entire morbidly obese body directly integrated into his ship.
>>36526
Bonus: [Unbound] - You and your ship are the same, you are it and it is you. Thusly you operate it better then any pilot or captain can ever dream of, as moving its guns and manevuring can be performed with as much finesse as the acrobats of the Imperial Circus. + 15 to combat actions.
Flaws: [Metal Cage] - You cannot separate from your ship without weeks of detox and adjusting, as the mental linkage is that strong. As such you cannot eject when your ship is destroyed, when it dies, you die with it.

The Commander of the Station Guard jolts to attention as the system scanner lights up with reports of enemy contacts, and the missiles impacting his station knock him flat on his ass as the station shakes from the impact.
"Damage report! I need a fucking Damage Report!" He screams at no one in particular.
"Sir, we've lost flak cannons 1 through 3, and the missile system has been destroyed sir!" Reports a ensign at his station, head bloodied from basing it against his console when the missiles impacted.
"Damn loyalist Raiders, these must be the ones that killed Yuul!"
"Loyalist? Sir, I thought we destroyed the last of them at Tannhäuser?"
"You really believe that hog-wash boy? They're alive and well, and now they're here to kill us. We might be crippled but I'll be damned if we don't go down fighting. Radio Episatlia, tell sector command we're under attack and in need of urgent reinforcements. And what's the status of our picket fleet?"
"All ships aside from the Frigate INS Resolute are destroyed, and the Resolute has had her reactor crippled, Sir. It also appears that a transport craft is heading straight for the hanger Sir."
"Damn, defenseless and about to be boarded, never thought that the backwater guard duty I'd been assigned would be the death of me." He walks over to his command chair, pushing the all comm button on his console. "THIS IS COLONEL TELLAR, WE ARE ABOUT TO BE BOARDED, I WANT ALL BULKHEADS SEALED AND ALL SECURITY FORCES PREPARING FOR COMBAT." He then walks over to the armory in the bridge and grabs his Rifle, the name "Vera" lovingly etched into its side.
Outside of the Station, the Royal Guard Transport "Hangman" is making its final approach to the Space Station, Ensign Elijah Brown sits at the front of the ramp, a full contingent of Royal Guard Space Marines behind him.
He speaks one word as they pass through the shield sealing in the atmo of the hanger "We go in quick, get this done, get our people out, then we blow this hell hole the fuck up and go home."

It seems that Yoto's pulse did more damage then it should have, as the bulkheads for the hangar and several corridors thereafter are unable to close. The Bridge and several unknown decks still manage to secure their doors, however.
The Hyperwave ping, however, goes through, and the incoming contacts on the Loyalist fleet let them know that rebels are coming in hot.
Repair crew valiantly struggle in the IMS resolute to repair its crippled reactor, under fire and the ship itself flaming around them, they still manage to get it almost operational again.

Captain’s Name: Yoto Satori
Captain Fluff: Satori is what one would comonly call a fanatic. No matter what ship he is captain of he makes sure that there is a shrine and that worship is practiced regularly.

Captain’s Name: Nihlus Striesse
Captain Fluff: Nihlus was once an up and coming cadet in one of the Empire's myriad Officer schools. He was smart, intuitive and savvy. However his greatest flaw was always his mouth. He was brash, uncouth, even rude at times and that cost him with his fellows, as he always said his mind, even when discretion with his betters would have been wise.
As such his peer reviews were horid and even some of his teachers, those who disliked his manner or were bought by another, were overly harsh on him. This in turn got him relegated to patrol destroyer in the frontier. So while his peers were getting rent limb from limb he himself was patrolling, then fleeing from the coming storm until he could regroup with allies.
Ship Name:HMS Perilous

Upgrades: [Shields x2][Armor Piercing Ammo][Shield Piercing Ammo][Juggernaut Armorx2]Imperial Favor: 3 (Gained by destroying traitors, used or purchase new ships and upgrades)
Bonus: [Peerless] - Nihlus was one of the brightest, one of the best, yet marred by his arrogance and brashness. It was mere months ago that he was "exiled" to the frontier, and his skills are still fresh. + 5 to all actions.
Flaws: [Pride Cometh] - Your boldness is your strength, but also it feeds your greatest weakness; Pride. You cannot run from fights from ships of the same class or smaller than yours.
+Friends - [Research and Development I] - You've friends among the eggheads and researchers on Aluxia, and receive a + 5 to all rolls dealing with them.
And thanks to the daft boy wonder trying to be a hero we are down another ships. 2 frigates, 3 destroyers, 1 fighter and 1 bomber against 2 frigates 2 destroyers and 6 fighters. Not great odds.
We need those frigates dead yesterday, that railgun ship can drop a fighter with one shot. Focus on one or the other and end them fast. if they fall we might hold long enough to do this.
Nihlus pulls his railgun reticles over FI1 fire both, his shield/armor piercing ammo should hopefully be enough to drop them and damage the ship underneath. +60(piercing ammox 2 shots)

Captain Fluff: Captain Artemis Thulmir is a failure, or was a failure. Loss after loss have been attributed to his name and it is a miracle him still remains in command of a ship.

[LZRS] - For some reason you feel different, but not in a bad way.
Flaws: [Buffoon] - And as his record cannot be ignored for its length, it cannot also be ignored for its utter horribleness. As such, fleet command is reluctant to grant him the same equipment and ships as other captains. Upgrades and New Ships cost twice as much until you prove your worth.

Flaws: [Pirate Scum] – Your name, and your past, follow you like the moon of Ra’kathum follows the suns, you are recognized, but not for the reason one would want to be. This has the adverse effect of Fleet Command taking less notice of your good actions, and more notice of your mistakes. Half favor gain and double Favor loss until you prove you are more than your past.
The Hawk, delivering Angel and a small group of the crew's most capable boarding marines on the Hangman, gets a firm order to harass and stay out of serious enemy fire as the Ensign leaves, handing command to Petty Officer First Class Daniel Wood, the helmsman. The command crew is freshly-vetted and given a rather effective crash course by Angel himself, making them decently effective even without the former pirate onboard.

Angel disembarks with his squad of 10 of his hardest and most loyal crewmen, followed behind by 10 squads of Royal Guard Space Marines, clad in sealed pressurized suits and armed with the ZX-47 Imperial Battle Rifle.

The Bulkheads to the interior of the station were also open, and through the corner of his eyes Angel noticed Wolf Wolf running through them and into the station.

There's two immediate objectives at hand - locating and securing the station's Command Center, and finding the specific locations of all essential loyalist personnel on-board. A lightning-fast sweep will have to be performed, getting the station layout and establishing both of these, while taking out any resistance in the way. While splitting to fully scope the station is inevitable, in this situation groups ought split as little as possible - staying above two full squads, ideally. Nothing short of an organized and effective military surge from the prison guards can feasibly deal with a unit of that size.

Captain’s Name: CLX-#124
Captain Fluff: CLX-#124 is one of the Empire's most adanced artifiial intelligent military drones. Designed to house the downloaded information of previous pilot aces, captains, as well as expert pilot programming, it is fully capable of piloting any unit it assimilates itself into.
Its central processing unit is surrounded by an array of tools and devices designed to allow it to manually repair, scavenge, or modify technological components. Given enough time and resources, it can repair and pilot a damaged ship alone. Admittedly, they are far more proficient at ships designed for individual piloting, particularly fighters, of which the bulk of their combat expertise is directed at, but they were designed to aid in a population shortage.
It specializes in high speed, high force manuevers and turns of which the G-Force would kill any organic pilots, but not an automated one.
Ship Name: L-8000
Ship Type: Fighter
Weapon Systems: Auto-Cannon, Auto-Cannon
Stats
Ship Health: 60/60
Crew: 1/1
Upgrades: [Armor Piercing Rounds (FREE)] [Shield Piercing Rounds 3] [Juggernaut Armor 3] [Gap Drive 3] [Kamikazee Chasis 3] [Autocanon Drone 3] [Autocanon Drone 3] [Autocanon Drone 3]
Imperial Favor: 2 (Gained by destroying traitors, used or purchase new ships and upgrades)
Bonus: [Assuming Direct Control] – Your “escape pod” is in fact your body, and with it you can attack small enemy vessels and take control of them should your ship die.
Flaws: [Abomination] – Fleet Command remembers your model, and all the headaches it gave them. They know what you are and what you’re capable of, and they will be reluctant to give you access to real fire power until you can prove you’re loyal. Capped at Destroyer class vessels until deemed efficient and loyal by Fleet Command.
Skill: [In-Combat Repairs I - Fighters] - + 5 to rolls to repair fighters mid combat, you must exit your fighter to do so.

Captain’s Name: Herbert Strenhausen IV
Nickname: Sherbet Funhouse, Fat Fuck, Captain Pyle
Captain Fluff: The third son of Baron Strenhausen III, Herbert was a sheer and utter disappointment in every way. Out of shape, flabby, and a wee-bit autistic, nevertheless Strenhausen was awarded a ship to command for his nobility. However, even he knew of his physical limitations, mostly from his endless hazing during the Academy that carried on all the way till he was assigned his ship, but even still, and so he chose to sacrifice his body for the sake of the empire. Gone were his rather useless legs and arms, and instead came docking ports that allowed him to hook up and synch in with the ship he pilots to further his combat ability. That way, he could do what he did best: sit around and shoot things on a screen. But in this case he would instead proudly serve the Empire by doing so.
Ship Name: The Stuffed Sausage
Ship Type: Destroyer
Weapon Systems:
1x Omni-Flak (5d5)
1x Farthan Lance (1d40)
2x Reaper-Z42 Autocannons (4d10)
Don’t fill this in:
Ship Health: 80
Crew: 100
Upgrades: Armor-Piercing Rounds (Medium)
Imperial Favor: 0 (Gained by destroying traitors, used or purchase new ships and upgrades)
Bonus: [Unbound] - You and your ship are the same, you are it and it is you. Thusly you operate it better then any pilot or captain can ever dream of, as moving its guns and manevuring can be performed with as much finesse as the acrobats of the Imperial Circus. + 15 to combat actions.
Flaws: [Metal Cage] - You cannot separate from your ship without weeks of detox and adjusting, as the mental linkage is that strong. As such you cannot eject when your ship is destroyed, when it dies, you die with it.
Having just arrived on the scene, Strenhausen will position himself at a slight slant as he moves towards the enemy, to properly fire at the incoming fleet, and so incoming enemy fire has more of a chance to not penetrate the armor. +15

The enemy fleet jumps out of warp and into the warm jaws of the Loyalist captains and pilots with predictable results. Four of the enemy fighters fall before the flak and autocannons of the fleet, while the rest of the captains hammer away at the enemy's subsystems, to much effect. The already crippled Frigate has its life support systems destroyed by the newly arrived Loyalist Captain Strenhausen IV. The Destroyers get their own pounding, as lances and kinetics hammer home, the shields of the second destroyer briefly light up as Thulmir's lances are dissipated by them. In a similar manner to Strenhausen, Captain Yoto also aims to kill his opponents not by weapon fire, but by asphyxiation, as he destroys the second Destroyer's life support systems with sustained lance fire.
Space may be quiet, but the many microasteroids and ice particles do make for a lovely show, as the Caesuim Beams of the Loyalist Lances dance in the pale color of Gas Giant Orion. The current scene would make a lovely fresco, muses Captain Thulmir as he takes another sip of the simply magnificent brandy, the warm glow of a soft buzz tingling on his mind for the briefest of seconds before snapping back into cold reality. He does not notice that his thinking has improved slightly, he's reacting quicker and thinking much faster then before. He also fails to notice that his face is tightening up, the bags under his eyes disappearing, replaced with the stern eyes of youth. In fact his whole body seems to move back several years, the limp from his tour on Veragax 6 noticeably missing, and the dull pain of the shrapnel lodged in his spine also gone. But such is the rigors of combat that all of these changes go unnoticed by the Captain.

Angel Leads his group of men down one of the many corridoors inside of the station, the loud stomps of WW charging down some ways ahead deafening compared to the relative silence of Ensign Elijah and the Imperial Marines.
It is just several minutes into the boarding operation when the first shots ring out, and then after that the sounds of gunfire get closer and closer until Angel can see the muzzle flashes out of the corner of his eye. He dives into cover, many of the Marines and his crew doing the same, only a few fall prey to the ambush. Unwilling to allow himself to be pinned down, and listening in on the combat chatter of his fellow pilots, he presses onwards, lugging a flash grenade into a alcove where fire is radiating from, before quickly leapfrogging to it with several marines and filling the corner full of lead. After several more minutes of fighting, all of the guards near angel and his men are dead or dying, with only several of his own men lying wounded or dead. Reports come in from the other squads, much of the same. The tell tale sound of retreating feet sounds in the station's halls as what remains of the guard fall back into the deeper parts of the station. The tall comes in at 54 confirmed K/W.I.A. for your boarding party.

Captain’s Name: Nihlus Striesse
Captain Fluff: Nihlus was once an up and coming cadet in one of the Empire's myriad Officer schools. He was smart, intuitive and savvy. However his greatest flaw was always his mouth. He was brash, uncouth, even rude at times and that cost him with his fellows, as he always said his mind, even when discretion with his betters would have been wise.
As such his peer reviews were horid and even some of his teachers, those who disliked his manner or were bought by another, were overly harsh on him. This in turn got him relegated to patrol destroyer in the frontier. So while his peers were getting rent limb from limb he himself was patrolling, then fleeing from the coming storm until he could regroup with allies.
Ship Name:HMS Perilous
Ship Type: Destroyer
Weapon Systems:
2 Reaper-Z42 Autocannons (small) (3d10) (Best against smaller ships or missiles)

Crew: 100/100
Upgrades: [Shields x2][Armor Piercing Ammo][Shield Piercing Ammo][Juggernaut Armorx2]Imperial Favor: 3 (Gained by destroying traitors, used or purchase new ships and upgrades)
Bonus: [Peerless] - Nihlus was one of the brightest, one of the best, yet marred by his arrogance and brashness. It was mere months ago that he was "exiled" to the frontier, and his skills are still fresh. + 5 to all actions.
Flaws: [Pride Cometh] - Your boldness is your strength, but also it feeds your greatest weakness; Pride. You cannot run from fights from ships of the same class or smaller than yours.
+Friends - [Research and Development I] - You've friends among the eggheads and researchers on Aluxia, and receive a + 5 to all rolls dealing with them.

Captain’s Name: CLX-#124
Captain Fluff: CLX-#124 is one of the Empire's most adanced artifiial intelligent military drones. Designed to house the downloaded information of previous pilot aces, captains, as well as expert pilot programming, it is fully capable of piloting any unit it assimilates itself into.
Its central processing unit is surrounded by an array of tools and devices designed to allow it to manually repair, scavenge, or modify technological components. Given enough time and resources, it can repair and pilot a damaged ship alone. Admittedly, they are far more proficient at ships designed for individual piloting, particularly fighters, of which the bulk of their combat expertise is directed at, but they were designed to aid in a population shortage.
It specializes in high speed, high force manuevers and turns of which the G-Force would kill any organic pilots, but not an automated one.
Ship Name: L-8000

Imperial Favor: 2 (Gained by destroying traitors, used or purchase new ships and upgrades)
Bonus: [Assuming Direct Control] – Your “escape pod” is in fact your body, and with it you can attack small enemy vessels and take control of them should your ship die.
Flaws: [Abomination] – Fleet Command remembers your model, and all the headaches it gave them. They know what you are and what you’re capable of, and they will be reluctant to give you access to real fire power until you can prove you’re loyal. Capped at Destroyer class vessels until deemed efficient and loyal by Fleet Command.
Skill: [In-Combat Repairs I - Fighters] - + 5 to rolls to repair fighters mid combat, you must exit your fighter to do so.

Captain’s Name: Prof. Dr. Karl Wolf
Captain Fluff: Before the War Wolf was a military scientist engaged in the development of numerous ship technologies, however with the death of the Emperor times had changed and Wolf was forced to retreat to the Veil where the last faithful remnants of the Imperial Fleet remained.
Numerous times before men had fought far superior fleets. Back on his homeworld they had adapted and taken the fight from the surface down to the black depths of the ocean where no light could reach. Submarines they were called, ships that struck anywhere with merciless fury.
The Imperial Fleet was faced with a problem that was very alike and they too could develop capacities to take the fight beyond the minds of normal men. Beyond what was even considered the realm of possibility. They would strike from a dimensions others doubted to exist. Karl Wolf would be the father of the Space Submarine Doctrine.

Flaws:
+ [Zyklon Karl] – A accident in the lab many years ago left Karl with a reliance upon a breathing apparatus. This as a result has left him confined to his respiration chamber for half of most days, and when he is out of it, his mask puts others off quite a bit, as does his odd voice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9wi0cPrU4U

Best to shatter the remaining forces of the guard, if they organized into a cohesive unit this quickly, before they can mount another attack. In doing so, I suspect they'll bring us closer to the two PoIs onboard the ship - the command center and the cells of interest. Coordinate the squads and press further.

Flaws: [Pirate Scum] – Your name, and your past, follow you like the moon of Ra’kathum follows the suns, you are recognized, but not for the reason one would want to be. This has the adverse effect of Fleet Command taking less notice of your good actions, and more notice of your mistakes. Half favor gain and double Favor loss until you prove you are more than your past.

Angel gives the order for his forces to move further into the station, eager to dispatch the retreating guards and wrestle control of the station from them. The clamor of boots sounds as the white clad marines stride down the hall, bounding from cover to cover, stepping over the many corpses of both their allies, and much more numerous corpses of the fallen guard. As Angel's personal squad rounds a corner deep within the bowels of the station, the booming voice of the Warden sounds out once again, this time in shocking person instead of stereo. Elijah catches a glimpse of the man in his jet black armor and hulking form ordering around the remain guards into defensive positions around the command center. In his arms is a massive cannon, infact it is a Reaper-Z42 Autocannon, the man is large enough to wield a fighter weapon as a a personal weapon.
He spots Angel's head pocking around the corner of the hall and lets loose a stream of bullets, making the mercenary dive behind cover and reconsider a direct assault on the Command center.

Captain’s Name: Herbert Strenhausen IV
Nickname: Sherbet Funhouse, Fat Fuck, Captain Pyle
Captain Fluff: The third son of Baron Strenhausen III, Herbert was a sheer and utter disappointment in every way. Out of shape, flabby, and a wee-bit autistic, nevertheless Strenhausen was awarded a ship to command for his nobility. However, even he knew of his physical limitations, mostly from his endless hazing during the Academy that carried on all the way till he was assigned his ship, but even still, and so he chose to sacrifice his body for the sake of the empire. Gone were his rather useless legs and arms, and instead came docking ports that allowed him to hook up and synch in with the ship he pilots to further his combat ability. That way, he could do what he did best: sit around and shoot things on a screen. But in this case he would instead proudly serve the Empire by doing so.
Ship Name: The Stuffed Sausage
Ship Type: Destroyer
Weapon Systems:
1x Omni-Flak (5d25)
1x Farthan Lance (1d70)
2x Reaper-Z42 Autocannons (6d10)
Don’t fill this in:
Ship Health: 80
Crew: 100
Upgrades: Armor-Piercing Rounds
Imperial Favor: 0 (Gained by destroying traitors, used or purchase new ships and upgrades)
Bonus: [Unbound] - You and your ship are the same, you are it and it is you. Thusly you operate it better then any pilot or captain can ever dream of, as moving its guns and manevuring can be performed with as much finesse as the acrobats of the Imperial Circus. +15 to combat actions.
Flaws: [Metal Cage] - You cannot separate from your ship without weeks of detox and adjusting, as the mental linkage is that strong. As such you cannot eject when your ship is destroyed, when it dies, you die with it.
1. Having accidentally preoccupying himself with stuffing his fat fucking face with his upteenth sausage, Strenhausen remembered there was a battle going on. Therefore, he fires at FI1 with his two autocannons, indiscriminate as to where they hit on the ship. (+10 for each gun for Armor Piercing)

Players Fill this in
Captain’s Name: Feodor Von Valkheim III
Captain Fluff: Feodor was never supposed to be here. The heir apparent to the Valkheim family title and fortune, he was set to become one of the most powerful noblemen on the galactic stage. However, he fell victim to vicious blackmail and political maneuvering from his younger brother, Theobald von Valkheim IV. slanderous lies were told, and his name was blackened by gossip and intrigue. His father, Feodor Von Valkheim II was forced to disown his firstborn, and send him to the far reaches of the galaxy, to preserve the honor of the Valkheim name. Given captaincy over a destroyer (of his own design), he set about devising new tactics, and honing his political abilities, so that he could rise through the ranks, dominate the balance of power in the Navy, and strongarm his father into bringing him back into the fold. However, before he could get very far, the nobles rebelled, and threw his plans into disarray. Now part of a ragtag frontier fleet, he aims to hit the false leaders of the Empire where it hurts, and take his pound of flesh in compensation for the wrongs which have been done to him.
Ship Name: Wergild
Ship Type: Destroyer
Weapon Systems:
Small [1] Reaper-Z42 Autocannon [Kinetic] [2d10]
Medium [1] Redeemer Swarm Missiles [Missiles] [15d10]
Large [1] OOA-P [Kinetic] [2d80]
Ship fluff: The Wergild, is a deviation from the Naval norm. It fits into the size class of the destroyer, but the similarities end there. It's effectively a ship built around a gun. The OOA-P Heavy Artillery weapon takes up the bulk of space in the ship, and greatly decreases the amount of room and energy available to retrothrusters, making maneuvering much more difficult. The flip side of this sacrifice is the massive firepower now available to the captain, allowing him to place his ship towards the back or center of a formation, and fire exceptionally damaging ordinance, capable of engaging capital ships.

The Wergild, a late addition to the battle, drops out of warp space on the far side of Orion, the enemy far enough away to be out of range of even its massive gun, but this position does allow it a unparalleled view of the current engagement. The enemy fleet lies in shambles, but the loyalist fleet has its nose very well blooded to say the least. Still, you note several targets of opportunity as you sound the alarm.
"This is Captain Valkheim, red alert, all crew… Battle Stations!"
(You warp in out of range on everyone, both friend and foe, you must devote a combat action and succeed in it to be in range, and if it succeeds you may assume so without me saying anything and then proceed to do a combat post)

The Traitor fleet is torn to shreds, giving the loyalist a beating, but taking much more in return. At the end of the fire exchange, only the second Frigate and destroyer remain standing, it shields flickering as bright as the morning sun as they are hammered by the Frontier Fleet, the destroyer leaking atmo and radiation as its hull and reactor vent into the umber void of space.

On the Station, the boarding party fares far much worse as the massive warden and his guards tear apart the cover the boarding party hides behind, while grenades lobbed by the guards force the marines into the open, for the warden to cut them down. Half of the marines lie wounded or dying from the shockingly effective counter attack, with return fire taking out 23 of the enemy. Angel himself is struck by several rounds from a guard that he promptly returns favor to in kind via a knife to the forehead, when he manages to spot Ensign WW hiding under a comms console in the command room, before a burst from the Warden's minigun sends him scurrying back into cover. It is then that he hears WW scream something intelligible, before a loud explosion is heard, followed by the screaming of men clearly in anguish. Angel rounds the corner to see a gorey scene, limbs strewn about, men clutching their insides as pools of blood form around them. The Warden is laying against a far wall, his autocannon blown to pieces on the far side of the room, himself bleeding profusely from several shrapnel wounds. The three guard that remain standing surrender, as they themselves can barely stand. The Bridge, and the station, is yours.

Feta's attack flounders as stiff resistance from the sector defense fleet pushes back full force. Half the fighters are lost as the enemy deploys a strange new flak frigate with deadly efficiency.

As Commander Angel's party moved into the Bridge Wolf's heart was racing with an audible -thump thump- -thump thump- In a burst of aggression he had killed 54 men, more then half of them unwounded and come out with a scratch. A piece of metal had pierced his helmet and reached his face and he knew it would leave a scar but that wasn't what occupied him now. Wolf had learned a two valuable lessons; one, a man in the right position can destroy his enemy breaking him totally. Two, he displayed a capacity for personal carnage that combined with his reputation as a Wild Child could put his name on a very short list of Imperial soldiers often selected to run missions like this a result he might come to regret. He snapped back to awareness he was here as a soldier of the Empire under Commander Angel and he looked to Angel now as he had entered the Bridge.
"Orders Commander Angel?"
(also putting this here as a reminder that we might be able to use the Bridge to get some data on the station's [Smart Missile] upgrade that makes missiles do double damage. Unless that is already available to us that is.)

Captain’s Name: Nihlus Striesse
Captain Fluff: Nihlus was once an up and coming cadet in one of the Empire's myriad Officer schools. He was smart, intuitive and savvy. However his greatest flaw was always his mouth. He was brash, uncouth, even rude at times and that cost him with his fellows, as he always said his mind, even when discretion with his betters would have been wise.
As such his peer reviews were horid and even some of his teachers, those who disliked his manner or were bought by another, were overly harsh on him. This in turn got him relegated to patrol destroyer in the frontier. So while his peers were getting rent limb from limb he himself was patrolling, then fleeing from the coming storm until he could regroup with allies.
Ship Name:HMS Perilous
Ship Type: Destroyer

Upgrades: [Shields x2][Armor Piercing Ammo][Shield Piercing Ammo][Juggernaut Armorx2]Imperial Favor: 3 (Gained by destroying traitors, used or purchase new ships and upgrades)
Bonus: [Peerless] - Nihlus was one of the brightest, one of the best, yet marred by his arrogance and brashness. It was mere months ago that he was "exiled" to the frontier, and his skills are still fresh. + 5 to all actions.
Flaws: [Pride Cometh] - Your boldness is your strength, but also it feeds your greatest weakness; Pride. You cannot run from fights from ships of the same class or smaller than yours.
+Friends - [Research and Development I] - You've friends among the eggheads and researchers on Aluxia, and receive a + 5 to all rolls dealing with them.
Nihlus grimaces as his already tested shields get hit again with another fusillade of enemy fire, even doing his best to dodge he only got missed by half. Still he smiled at what the Royal guard had wrought, downing one enemy bomber corvette and damaged the rest, some severely. He put the reticle of one of his autoncanons unto such target, designation c10 and fired.

Captain Fluff: Satori is what one would comonly call a fanatic. No matter what ship he is captain of he makes sure that there is a shrine and that worship is practiced regularly. He also favors energy weapons, seeing it as 'purging the enemies of the Emperor in holy fire'. He was sent to the fronteir after slapping a superior officer for 'lack of faith'.

Captain’s Name: Feodor Von Valkheim III
Captain Fluff: Feodor was never supposed to be here. The heir apparent to the Valkheim family title and fortune, he was set to become one of the most powerful noblemen on the galactic stage. However, he fell victim to vicious blackmail and political maneuvering from his younger brother, Theobald von Valkheim IV. slanderous lies were told, and his name was blackened by gossip and intrigue. His father, Feodor Von Valkheim II was forced to disown his firstborn, and send him to the far reaches of the galaxy, to preserve the honor of the Valkheim name. Given captaincy over a destroyer (of his own design), he set about devising new tactics, and honing his political abilities, so that he could rise through the ranks, dominate the balance of power in the Navy, and strongarm his father into bringing him back into the fold. However, before he could get very far, the nobles rebelled, and threw his plans into disarray. Now part of a ragtag frontier fleet, he aims to hit the false leaders of the Empire where it hurts, and take his pound of flesh in compensation for the wrongs which have been done to him.
Ship Name: Wergild
Ship Type: Destroyer
Weapon Systems:
Small [1] Reaper-Z42 Autocannon [Kinetic] [2d10]
Medium [1] Redeemer Swarm Missiles [Missiles] [15d10]
Large [1] OOA-P [Kinetic] [2d80]
Ship fluff: The Wergild, is a deviation from the Naval norm. It fits into the size class of the destroyer, but the similarities end there. It's effectively a ship built around a gun. The OOA-P Heavy Artillery weapon takes up the bulk of space in the ship, and greatly decreases the amount of room and energy available to retrothrusters, making maneuvering much more difficult. The flip side of this sacrifice is the massive firepower now available to the captain, allowing him to place his ship towards the back or center of a formation, and fire exceptionally damaging ordinance, capable of engaging capital ships.
Ship Health: 250/250
Crew: 300
Upgrades: Armor Piercing Rounds (+10/+30/+65)
Imperial Favor: 0
Bonus: [Blue Blood] - Your name is well known among fleet command, your family respected, honored even. The Valkenhiems were one of the few Royal Houses that didn't betray the Emperor, but nobody has heard from them since the rebellion began. (Favor Gain is doubled)
Flaws: [Prototype] - Your ship is one of a kind, and as such is not able to be repaired as quickly as Fleet ships, not to mention that most of the hull had to be hallowed out to accommodate the massive cannon that runs its entire length. (Must roll for post mission repairs, - 5 to all combat rolls)

Captain’s Name: CLX-#124
Captain Fluff: CLX-#124 is one of the Empire's most adanced artifiial intelligent military drones. Designed to house the downloaded information of previous pilot aces, captains, as well as expert pilot programming, it is fully capable of piloting any unit it assimilates itself into.
Its central processing unit is surrounded by an array of tools and devices designed to allow it to manually repair, scavenge, or modify technological components. Given enough time and resources, it can repair and pilot a damaged ship alone. Admittedly, they are far more proficient at ships designed for individual piloting, particularly fighters, of which the bulk of their combat expertise is directed at, but they were designed to aid in a population shortage.
It specializes in high speed, high force manuevers and turns of which the G-Force would kill any organic pilots, but not an automated one.
Ship Name: L-8000
Ship Type: Fighter
Weapon Systems: Auto-Cannon, Auto-Cannon
Stats
Ship Health: 60/60
Crew: 1/1
Upgrades: [Armor Piercing Rounds (FREE)] [Shield Piercing Rounds 3] [Juggernaut Armor 3] [Gap Drive 3] [Kamikazee Chasis 3] [Autocanon Drone 3] [Autocanon Drone 3] [Autocanon Drone 3]
Imperial Favor: 2 (Gained by destroying traitors, used or purchase new ships and upgrades)
Bonus: [Assuming Direct Control] – Your “escape pod” is in fact your body, and with it you can attack small enemy vessels and take control of them should your ship die.
Flaws: [Abomination] – Fleet Command remembers your model, and all the headaches it gave them. They know what you are and what you’re capable of, and they will be reluctant to give you access to real fire power until you can prove you’re loyal. Capped at Destroyer class vessels until deemed efficient and loyal by Fleet Command.
Skill: [In-Combat Repairs I - Fighters] - + 5 to rolls to repair fighters mid combat, you must exit your fighter to do so.

Angel barked out firm commands to the majority of the remaining marines - find and secure the targets of interest, and bring them back ASAP. With only a small handful, the young pirate made his way over still-smoking bulletholes to the bridge, ears ringing from the explosions.
"Commander?" Angel laughed to himself, hearing his nickname with the honorific in front of it. "I'm not even a lieutenant. Download all data from their station communications for later review, then destroy the consoles. See if we can pull anything from the station's systems, and get me a list of names from their prisoner rosters. Work fast; we're leaving this junker the second that the retrieval crews get every Imperial man offboard, but there's a lot of valuable intel in it. Come on, today!"

Ship Health: 200/200
Ship Shields: 150/150
Crew: 100/100
Upgrades: [Armor Piercing Rounds(M)][Shields(M)][Flak Drone(M)][Repair Drone(S)]
Imperial Favor: 0
Crew/Personal Bonuses: [Soldiery I] [Crew Training I]
Bonus: [One-Winged Angel] – A life of violence breeds hard men, and Elijah is no exception. His upbringing instilled in him a great understanding of the way of things, and how to exploit them. He would not have risen as high as he did had he not. Now the time comes to put his skills to work again, and not for himself for a change. May reroll one combat action per turn
Flaws: [Pirate Scum] – Your name, and your past, follow you like the moon of Ra’kathum follows the suns, you are recognized, but not for the reason one would want to be. This has the adverse effect of Fleet Command taking less notice of your good actions, and more notice of your mistakes. Half favor gain and double Favor loss until you prove you are more than your past.

Captain’s Name: Captain Artemis Thulmir
Captain Fluff: Captain Artemis Thulmir is a failure, or was a failure. Loss after loss have been attributed to his name and it is a miracle him still remains in command of a ship. A slim rambling man prone to coughing fits born from an early childhood on a mining world it is a wonder he is still alive at all. However through every failure and disaster he still limps along, determined to do his duty to the empire.

Imperial Favor: 5
Bonus: [Wisdom] - Though Artemis has had a poor career, none can deny his length of service to the Empire, and much of the knowledge he has gained in this time. This knowledge will surely come into play in the campaign to follow. +15 to non-combat actions and +5 to combat actions
[LZRS] - For some reason you feel different, but not in a bad way.
Flaws: [Buffoon] - And as his record cannot be ignored for its length, it cannot also be ignored for its utter horribleness. As such, fleet command is reluctant to grant him the same equipment and ships as other captains. Upgrades and New Ships cost twice as much until you prove your worth.

Captain’s Name: Herbert Strenhausen IV
Nickname: Sherbet Funhouse, Fat Fuck, Captain Pyle
Captain Fluff: The third son of Baron Strenhausen III, Herbert was a sheer and utter disappointment in every way. Out of shape, flabby, and a wee-bit autistic, nevertheless Strenhausen was awarded a ship to command for his nobility. However, even he knew of his physical limitations, mostly from his endless hazing during the Academy that carried on all the way till he was assigned his ship, but even still, and so he chose to sacrifice his body for the sake of the empire. Gone were his rather useless legs and arms, and instead came docking ports that allowed him to hook up and synch in with the ship he pilots to further his combat ability. That way, he could do what he did best: sit around and shoot things on a screen. But in this case he would instead proudly serve the Empire by doing so.
Ship Name: The Stuffed Sausage
Ship Type: Destroyer
Weapon Systems:
1x Omni-Flak (5d25)
1x Farthan Lance (1d70)
2x Reaper-Z42 Autocannons (6d10)
Don’t fill this in:
Ship Health: 250
Crew: 100
Upgrades: Armor-Piercing Rounds
Imperial Favor: 0 (Gained by destroying traitors, used or purchase new ships and upgrades)
Bonus: [Unbound] - You and your ship are the same, you are it and it is you. Thusly you operate it better then any pilot or captain can ever dream of, as moving its guns and manevuring can be performed with as much finesse as the acrobats of the Imperial Circus. +15 to combat actions.
Flaws: [Metal Cage] - You cannot separate from your ship without weeks of detox and adjusting, as the mental linkage is that strong. As such you cannot eject when your ship is destroyed, when it dies, you die with it.
1. Strenhausen will first position his ship in such a way to be in range of both D2 and C2-5.

Captain’s Name: Prof. Dr. Karl Wolf
Captain Fluff: Before the War Wolf was a military scientist engaged in the development of numerous ship technologies, however with the death of the Emperor times had changed and Wolf was forced to retreat to the Veil where the last faithful remnants of the Imperial Fleet remained.
Numerous times before men had fought far superior fleets. Back on his homeworld they had adapted and taken the fight from the surface down to the black depths of the ocean where no light could reach. Submarines they were called, ships that struck anywhere with merciless fury.
The Imperial Fleet was faced with a problem that was very alike and they too could develop capacities to take the fight beyond the minds of normal men. Beyond what was even considered the realm of possibility. They would strike from a dimensions others doubted to exist. Karl Wolf would be the father of the Space Submarine Doctrine.
Welcome to making history, fuckboiis.

Weapon Systems:

Bonus:

Flaws:
+ [Zyklon Karl] – A accident in the lab many years ago left Karl with a reliance upon a breathing apparatus. This as a result has left him confined to his respiration chamber for half of most days, and when he is out of it, his mask puts others off quite a bit, as does his odd voice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9wi0cPrU4U

The Corvette squadron jumps out of warp ten strong, and unleashes hell upon both the Loyalist fleet and the station as well. The brawlers focus their fire on the fleet, attempting to draw fire unto themselves so that the latter half of the squadron, the missile corvettes, can hammer the station, and hammer they do. Despite the best efforts of the flak turrets on the reclaimed station, many missiles make it through the flak burst to hit home. The station is visibly rocked by the fire, with large fragments of it outer section being blasted off only to be pulled into the gas giant below.
This initial attack quickly proves to be the only attack that the Corvette Squadron will get off, as slug, flak, lance and missile sears towards the various corvettes, with all but two of them being blasted into clouds of monoatomic ash.
Long rounds from a new arrival rack the enemy destroyer sitting at the edge of the engagement range, still broadcasting distress calls, as its comrade the Sole remaining Frigate does the same.

In the remains of the station command center, Angel and WW immediately get to work processing the little data they can get to expedite and identify the prisoner's extraction. WW heads to a console that hasn't been destroyed and immediately starts downloading the reading the manifest of the station, along with prisoner data and some rebel weapon tech developments. He does not notice the piece of metal lodged into the processing unit for the console, nor the loud humming it makes. The Station is shaken by the missile and round impact from the corvette squadron, and all the men in the command center are rattled as they hear the sickening crunch of the metal tearing from metal, though none of the now discovered prison blocks or interior of the station are damaged, just some vechicle bays and hangars luckily enough. As the men gain their bearing back, and WW continues to examine the data on the console, a sudden flash lights up the room, followed by a loud explosion. WW is thrown several feet as the explosion throws him off his feet and into a low hanging support strut for a overhanging lighting fixture. He is knocked unconscious by the blast, and taken the Hangman by two soldiers. Angel sighs heavily before ordering the remaining men to quickly get the prisoners out of this blasted hellhole before it all falls apart around them. The Marines comply and rush off to release their comrades.
>Morgoth: You are unconscious and out of action for the rest of the engagement unless you roll above a 60 to wake up. 1d100 pls.
>Elias: Prisoner Extraction 5/6

Reports come into the captains from Feta Squadron, they've pressed their attack, though are still taking losses, they won't be able to hold out much longer.
Much more pressing, however, is the spacetime ripple several kilometers out from the positions of the Frigate and Destroyer. A smattering of smaller ships warp in, but all pilots' and captains' eyes are drawn to the two very large ships that warp in last. Sleek, glimmering, a design unlike anything in Imperial records.
This is new.

Captain’s Name: Nihlus Striesse
Captain Fluff: Nihlus was once an up and coming cadet in one of the Empire's myriad Officer schools. He was smart, intuitive and savvy. However his greatest flaw was always his mouth. He was brash, uncouth, even rude at times and that cost him with his fellows, as he always said his mind, even when discretion with his betters would have been wise.
As such his peer reviews were horid and even some of his teachers, those who disliked his manner or were bought by another, were overly harsh on him. This in turn got him relegated to patrol destroyer in the frontier. So while his peers were getting rent limb from limb he himself was patrolling, then fleeing from the coming storm until he could regroup with allies.
Ship Name:HMS Perilous
Ship Type: Destroyer

Bonus: [Peerless] - Nihlus was one of the brightest, one of the best, yet marred by his arrogance and brashness. It was mere months ago that he was "exiled" to the frontier, and his skills are still fresh. + 5 to all actions.
Flaws: [Pride Cometh] - Your boldness is your strength, but also it feeds your greatest weakness; Pride. You cannot run from fights from ships of the same class or smaller than yours.
+Friends - [Research and Development I] - You've friends among the eggheads and researchers on Aluxia, and receive a + 5 to all rolls dealing with them.
Nihlus sees the charging but more than half dead enemy destroyer, he bring one of his railgun reticles over it and fires.

Captain’s Name: Captain Karl von Sternberg
Captain Fluff: Captain Sternberg was a minor aristocrat and naval officer around the time of the rebellion. He was captured, along with several other officers during the rebellion, and was severly tortured. Eventually he was rescued by a loyalist raiding party, but he was so badly mutilated that extensive cybernetics where required to save his life. His body was repaired, but his mind was left damaged by the suffering he endured. Karl is now a grim and vengeful man, dedicated to crushing the rebels by any means.

Captain’s Name: Captain Artemis Thulmir
Captain Fluff: Captain Artemis Thulmir is a failure, or was a failure. Loss after loss have been attributed to his name and it is a miracle him still remains in command of a ship. A slim rambling man prone to coughing fits born from an early childhood on a mining world it is a wonder he is still alive at all. However through every failure and disaster he still limps along, determined to do his duty to the empire.

[LZRS] - For some reason you feel different, but not in a bad way.
Flaws: [Buffoon] - And as his record cannot be ignored for its length, it cannot also be ignored for its utter horribleness. As such, fleet command is reluctant to grant him the same equipment and ships as other captains. Upgrades and New Ships cost twice as much until you prove your worth.

Captain’s Name: Feodor Von Valkheim III
Captain Fluff: Feodor was never supposed to be here. The heir apparent to the Valkheim family title and fortune, he was set to become one of the most powerful noblemen on the galactic stage. However, he fell victim to vicious blackmail and political maneuvering from his younger brother, Theobald von Valkheim IV. slanderous lies were told, and his name was blackened by gossip and intrigue. His father, Feodor Von Valkheim II was forced to disown his firstborn, and send him to the far reaches of the galaxy, to preserve the honor of the Valkheim name. Given captaincy over a destroyer (of his own design), he set about devising new tactics, and honing his political abilities, so that he could rise through the ranks, dominate the balance of power in the Navy, and strongarm his father into bringing him back into the fold. However, before he could get very far, the nobles rebelled, and threw his plans into disarray. Now part of a ragtag frontier fleet, he aims to hit the false leaders of the Empire where it hurts, and take his pound of flesh in compensation for the wrongs which have been done to him.
Ship Name: Wergild
Ship Type: Destroyer
Weapon Systems:
Small [1] Reaper-Z42 Autocannon [Kinetic] [2d10]
Medium [1] Redeemer Swarm Missiles [Missiles] [15d10]
Large [1] OOA-P [Kinetic] [2d80]
Ship fluff: The Wergild, is a deviation from the Naval norm. It fits into the size class of the destroyer, but the similarities end there. It's effectively a ship built around a gun. The OOA-P Heavy Artillery weapon takes up the bulk of space in the ship, and greatly decreases the amount of room and energy available to retrothrusters, making maneuvering much more difficult. The flip side of this sacrifice is the massive firepower now available to the captain, allowing him to place his ship towards the back or center of a formation, and fire exceptionally damaging ordinance, capable of engaging capital ships.
Ship Health: 250/250
Crew: 300
Upgrades: Armor Piercing Rounds (+10/+30/+65)
Imperial Favor: 0
Bonus: [Blue Blood] - Your name is well known among fleet command, your family respected, honored even. The Valkenhiems were one of the few Royal Houses that didn't betray the Emperor, but nobody has heard from them since the rebellion began. (Favor Gain is doubled)
Flaws: [Prototype] - Your ship is one of a kind, and as such is not able to be repaired as quickly as Fleet ships, not to mention that most of the hull had to be hallowed out to accommodate the massive cannon that runs its entire length. (Must roll for post mission repairs, - 5 to all combat rolls)

Captain’s Name: CLX-#124
Captain Fluff: CLX-#124 is one of the Empire's most adanced artifiial intelligent military drones. Designed to house the downloaded information of previous pilot aces, captains, as well as expert pilot programming, it is fully capable of piloting any unit it assimilates itself into.
Its central processing unit is surrounded by an array of tools and devices designed to allow it to manually repair, scavenge, or modify technological components. Given enough time and resources, it can repair and pilot a damaged ship alone. Admittedly, they are far more proficient at ships designed for individual piloting, particularly fighters, of which the bulk of their combat expertise is directed at, but they were designed to aid in a population shortage.
It specializes in high speed, high force manuevers and turns of which the G-Force would kill any organic pilots, but not an automated one.

Bonus: [Assuming Direct Control] – Your “escape pod” is in fact your body, and with it you can attack small enemy vessels and take control of them should your ship die.
Flaws: [Abomination] – Fleet Command remembers your model, and all the headaches it gave them. They know what you are and what you’re capable of, and they will be reluctant to give you access to real fire power until you can prove you’re loyal. Capped at Destroyer class vessels until deemed efficient and loyal by Fleet Command.

Captain’s Name: First Lieutenant Nebular Starva
Captain Fluff: Sharp in wits but not exactly "book smart", Nebular Starva prides himself as being as effective as "a star and nova combined", and from his humble beginnings as a man from a small town planet (what he usually neglects to say is that he was a gambler in a major city of said "small town planet") with an all-imperial face who found himself with the aptitude to fly one of the Empire's atmospheric fighters, quickly becoming a local celebrity and a symbol of the Empire's air superiority. Without the Empire, he finds that his gambling, drinking antics are less supported on top of being let go of due to his former connections. Unhappy and willing to crack a beer as well as some heads to get back to the good life, Starva has commandeered a spaceship and through trial and error managed to join up with the loyalist fleet.

Captain’s Name: Herbert Strenhausen IV
Nickname: Sherbet Funhouse, Fat Fuck, Captain Pyle
Captain Fluff: The third son of Baron Strenhausen III, Herbert was a sheer and utter disappointment in every way. Out of shape, flabby, and a wee-bit autistic, nevertheless Strenhausen was awarded a ship to command for his nobility. However, even he knew of his physical limitations, mostly from his endless hazing during the Academy that carried on all the way till he was assigned his ship, but even still, and so he chose to sacrifice his body for the sake of the empire. Gone were his rather useless legs and arms, and instead came docking ports that allowed him to hook up and synch in with the ship he pilots to further his combat ability. That way, he could do what he did best: sit around and shoot things on a screen. But in this case he would instead proudly serve the Empire by doing so.

Flaws: [Metal Cage] - You cannot separate from your ship without weeks of detox and adjusting, as the mental linkage is that strong. As such you cannot eject when your ship is destroyed, when it dies, you die with it.

Nihlus sees the inept fat bastard shoot Captain Scott's destroyers in the aft, the flak hitting a nearby fighter. "You have got to be fucking kidding me. Fat bastard can't even check his fire for friendlies." He Comms the now beleaguered Captain of the Royal guard. "Captain Scott get your people out of here, we're either pulling this off shortly or dying here, either way you've helped more than enough. Sent you a coordinate heading that will let you get picked up by the remaining loyalists."

Well honestly all that's left is the station defense guns and Elias's actual ship. There is no way they can kill the frigate so it was a bunch of wasted shots guys. Here's hoping Elias will kill some corvettes.

A fiery battle rages outside of the Prison Station as the rebels make one last attempt to halt the escape of the Loyalist fleet. The Rebels rush forward, attempting to bring enough of the loyalist arms to bear on themselves in an effort to soak up enough fire to allow the two capitals behind them to deploy their reinforcements. The first part of this plan works spledidly, as all of the traitor ships excluding the frigates are reduced to flaming wrecks from the sustained fire of the Loyalist Fleet.
Amidst this, the Transport "Hangman" emerges from the prison, followed soon after by WW's fighter. The Hangman spins up its warp drive and bolts off into the Blue, and the loyalist ships follow thereafter, only Captain Thulmir remaining to discharge his Planet Cracking Torpedo. The Fighter, apparently not piloted by WW himself, turns and warps out in the opposite direction of the Royalist Fleet to parts unknown. Eventually all that is left is the Crew of the Two Capital Ships, and their fighters; these men and women are granted the special privileged of watching the death of a world, as the massive torpedo smashes through the Station "Anchor" and continues onwards to the Gas Giant Orion below. A massive explosion, as bright as the systems sun, fills their viewscreens, followed by many many smaller explosions. The Gas Giant, a dull orange, glows and angry red and swells to massive size. It is at this point that the Capital ships themselves warp out, and only the scattered survivors in the scattered hulls of ruined ships remain to see the final show. Orion compacts to from the size of a large gas giant to smaller then its largest moon, glowing white hot all the while, before in the briefest of instants, expanding outward at several thousand feet per second and exploding in what can only be described as a "Micro-nova", the gas giant now becoming a super heated Gas Cloud, everything with 5 AU's of it destroyed, only their base atoms remaining. The light given off is bright enough that the Inhabited worlds of the system will have to endure lacking a night for the next few weeks as the light from the explosion and resulting gas cloud expansion travels through space and impacts their world. With the Gravity of the entire system thrown off with the removal of its 3rd largest gas giant, the predictions for the outer planets of the system are grim indeed.
Concurrent to all of this is the retreat of Feta Squadron, reduced to 8 fighters, none of which are in even semi decent condition, zooming through the Orbit of Episaltia itself. Once they receive the all clear from command to retreat, they make way as fast as their crippled ships will go. It matters not, as they are picked off one by one by the pursuing ships, but the pilots die easy knowing that in their sacrifice, they have done their duty for the Empire. The Last pilot turns his ship around and drives straight into the Bridge of an enemy Carrier, his Kamikaze hull destroying their power control systems and ultimately destroying the ship and several surrounding ships in the explosion. He sends one last transmission, the holovid showing his oxygen mask hanging off the side of his helmet and his cockpit flashing every warning light it has. A small trickle of blood runs down his mouth….

The Fleet makes it back the Veil, stronger then when it left oddly enough, though at the other rendezvous point not a single ship of Feta Squadron idles. A tinge of sadness resonates through the fleet, followed immediately by sheer horror. The Transport is not here! The very reason they set out on this mission, gone! Without it, every man that died today died in vain, their sacrifices for naught…..
Then a message across the Hyperwave broadband, fuzzy
"…. Ensign Brow…. don't know where the Fuc…. found somethi….. will wanna see t….."
Hours later, after recovery and a long and thorough explanation, it appears that Angel did in fact find something, or rather, he hit something. What it was is unknown, and it had no crew, and appeared to never have had one to begin with. What it does have though, is very advanced technology, such as that it is centuries beyond anything the rebels or the loyalist posses. It will take the Eggheads in R&D awhile to understand all of it, but when they do it will be an immense boon to the Loyalist.

In lieu of a debriefing, all captains and military staff (excluding WW, who spent the day in the med-bay) attend the memorial ceremony for Feta Squadron, each pilot's name being carved into a massive block of pure obsidian, which was then shot into orbit around the The Veil, the reflective stone shining bright with the glow of the Purple star, a beacon to all who enter the system, so that their bravery never be forgotten.
FC Zuric approaches the assembled captains after the end of the ceremony, his usual all white uniform replaced with a black one.
"Excellent job men, though we lost many men today, what you brought back was extremely important to the survival of the Resistance. With what you've done today, you've ensured that none of those men died in vain. Now get some rest, you've earned it."
>>Elias: [Pirate Scum] changes to [Scum]: You've been a bad man in the past, but some are starting to see the heart you've grown as of late, and the dedication you have to this cause. Favor Gain changed from half-gain/double loss to 3/4 gain and 1/1/2 loss respectively.
>>Cornwallis: {Buffoon] changes to [Slightly Competent] - This String of victories are causing some of the higher-ups to question just why your record is so utterly awful. Maybe it wasn't your fault after all. No favor cost increase for upgrades, but still for ships.

He was brash, uncouth, even rude at times and that cost him with his fellows, as he always said his mind, even when discretion with his betters would have been wise.
As such his peer reviews were horid and even some of his teachers, those who disliked his manner or were bought by another, were overly harsh on him. This in turn got him relegated to patrol destroyer in the frontier. So while his peers were getting rent limb from limb he himself was patrolling, then fleeing from the coming storm until he could regroup with allies.

Captain’s Name: Herbert Strenhausen IV
Nickname: Sherbet Funhouse, Fat Fuck, Captain Pyle
Captain Fluff: The third son of Baron Strenhausen III, Herbert was a sheer and utter disappointment in every way. Out of shape, flabby, and a wee-bit autistic, nevertheless Strenhausen was awarded a ship to command for his nobility. However, even he knew of his physical limitations, mostly from his endless hazing during the Academy that carried on all the way till he was assigned his ship, but even still, and so he chose to sacrifice his body for the sake of the empire. Gone were his rather useless legs and arms, and instead came docking ports that allowed him to hook up and synch in with the ship he pilots to further his combat ability. That way, he could do what he did best: sit around and shoot things on a screen. But in this case he would instead proudly serve the Empire by doing so.
Ship Name: The Stuffed Sausage

Don’t fill this in:

Upgrades: Armor-Piercing Rounds
Imperial Favor: 25 (Gained by destroying traitors, used or purchase new ships and upgrades)
Bonus: [Unbound] - You and your ship are the same, you are it and it is you. Thusly you operate it better then any pilot or captain can ever dream of, as moving its guns and manevuring can be performed with as much finesse as the acrobats of the Imperial Circus. +15 to combat actions.
Flaws: [Metal Cage] - You cannot separate from your ship without weeks of detox and adjusting, as the mental linkage is that strong. As such you cannot eject when your ship is destroyed, when it dies, you die with it.
1. Order a feast to be held for the crew for surviving another day. Dine without them, though, as I suppose theyd rather dine with their fellow brother in arms, not with an amputee lardball
2. Ask to meet the head of engineering on station. This ship is my body, and I ought to meet my doctor

Captain’s Name: First Lieutenant Nebular Starva
Captain Fluff: Sharp in wits but not exactly "book smart", Nebular Starva prides himself as being as effective as "a star and nova combined", and from his humble beginnings as a man from a small town planet (what he usually neglects to say is that he was a gambler in a major city of said "small town planet") with an all-imperial face who found himself with the aptitude to fly one of the Empire's atmospheric fighters, quickly becoming a local celebrity and a symbol of the Empire's air superiority. Without the Empire, he finds that his gambling, drinking antics are less supported on top of being let go of due to his former connections. Unhappy and willing to crack a beer as well as some heads to get back to the good life, Starva has commandeered a spaceship and through trial and error managed to join up with the loyalist fleet.
Ship Name: The Half-Pint
Ship Type: Fighter
Weapon Systems:
x1 Longmire AZ-12 Railgun (Small)
x1 Reaper-Z42 Autocannon (Small)
Ship Health: 75/75

Bonus: [Self-Made Man] - Everything Starva has he got for himself, and a man tends to learn a lot when he builds his empire up by himself. + 5 To all rolls
Flaws: [Literally Who?] - Your humble background means that your name does not garner much attention, and those who do know of you will forget you quickly when you lose the spotlight. Reduce favor gain to 1/4 of normal rate, increase favor lost to 4x normal rate.
1. Hey, looks like I just missed all the action. How about I get to know the crew of whichever vessel I'm assigned to, or at least the other fighter pilots? Maybe offer them an E-cig.
2. And this thing I flew in. "Half-Pint". I took the first spaceplane that caught my eye, and this ain't nothing like what I was flying back on Corvas-5. I inspect my fighter for any hidden features or abnormalities, see if there's more to it than meets the eye.

Captain Fluff: Satori is what one would comonly call a fanatic. No matter what ship he is captain of he makes sure that there is a shrine and that worship is practiced regularly. He also favors energy weapons, seeing it as 'purging the enemies of the Emperor in holy fire'. He was sent to the fronteir after slapping a superior officer for 'lack of faith'.
Ship Name: The Emperor's Light

Weapon Systems:

Ship Health: 500/500

Upgrades: [Shields] (66/150)
Imperial Favor: 51
Bonus: [Holy Fury] – Inside Yoto burns a hatred as hot and white as the stars themselves, when he sets his sights upon a traitor lord, those directly responsible for the Emperor’s Demise, this hatred burns out of him and into the very guns of his ship, increasing their damage. Do Double Damage to Traitor Lord Ships.
Flaws: [Untampered Fury] – While the raging fire burns bright, it so too burns quick, when in a state of Holy Fury, you take twice as much damage as well.
1&2. Men. Your performance in that last battle was, one would say, a disgrace in the eyes of the emperor. We had so many glancing hits that I'm wondering whether my targeting computers are off or you all need your eyes replaced! It's time for target practice men, I'm either replacing my targeting computer or you all are learning to fucking aim! Lets see which.

[LZRS] - For some reason you feel different, but not in a bad way.
Flaws: [Buffoon] - And as his record cannot be ignored for its length, it cannot also be ignored for its utter horribleness. As such, fleet command is reluctant to grant him the same equipment and ships as other captains. Upgrades and New Ships cost twice as much until you prove your worth.
—–
1. Head to the Bar to buy a round for everyone and congratulate them on a mission well done. +15
2. After having a drink Artemis will head down to the Archives, in those great archiac vaults a treasure trove of knowledge awaits. Locations of old supply depots, mothballed ships and old outposts. Old tech may not be as agile or fast as the flashy new things but it still packed a punch and was often built to last. +15

Captain’s Name: Ensign Wolf Wolf Jr.,
Nickname: Wolf Powered, Woof Woof, That Child Soldier. Double W, WW
Captain Fluff: Son of Prof. Dr. Karl Wolf. Wolf is a gregarious easy going youth who enjoys himself whenever he has the chance in port. Growing up in a colony where his father was posted he had his father's great workshop to experience all kinds of planes and a good people of an outer world to raise him. He would win piloting competitions and races, the glorious skies of that world will stay with him forever.
While he could experience the fruits of his father's engineering prowess such as muscle cars or fast planes what his father was really working on was a new type of fighter; one far more maneuverable and dangerous than anything the Empire or the Rebel scientists of even the Cullings could produce. With the base model complete it would be ready for field testing it would need a pilot and with the Empire in dire straights it could hardly refuse a young man who would never betray his family and by extension his country.
It was built to hunt down the enemy fighters and cripple systems while surviving amidst incalculable amounts of ship fire, it would be their answer to continuing the Empire's history in military achievement.
Perhaps it just runs in the family.
Ship Name: The Wolf Mk2
Ship Type: Fighter
Weapon Systems:
1 Reaper-Z42 Autocannon. Small slugs, high velocity and rapid rate of fire. Shreds through light armor but ineffective against larger ships.

Bonus: [Wild child] - A childhood of racing his father's inventions and piloting all manner of craft has let WW gain quite the skills as a pilot. He will surely use them in the coming campaign. + 15 to maneuvering rolls in small craft.
[Badass Scar] - You caught a white hot piece of metal to the face, fortunately for you it hit you in such a way as to give you a scar that looks pretty rad. + 5 to all communication rolls with other soldiers
Flaws: [Enemies in R&D] - Your brash and bold attitude, along with the many problems with your design, have led to R&D writing you off as a fool, and as such all dealings you have with them in the future will be hampered. - 5 to further dealings with R&D until you prove your competence
Friend: [Dopey the Janitor] - Grants you access to R&D on off hours, and plenty of cleaning supplies.
1/2 He was young but he was still a soldier and a pilot and he would drink to the heroes of Feta. Then he would drink to Mk1 wherever she is. +5 [Badass Scar]

Captain’s Name: Prof. Dr. Karl Wolf
Captain Fluff: Before the War Wolf was a military scientist engaged in the development of numerous ship technologies, however with the death of the Emperor times had changed and Wolf was forced to retreat to the Veil where the last faithful remnants of the Imperial Fleet remained.
Numerous times before men had fought far superior fleets. Back on his homeworld they had adapted and taken the fight from the surface down to the black depths of the ocean where no light could reach. Submarines they were called, ships that struck anywhere with merciless fury.
The Imperial Fleet was faced with a problem that was very alike and they too could develop capacities to take the fight beyond the minds of normal men. Beyond what was even considered the realm of possibility. They would strike from a dimensions others doubted to exist. Karl Wolf would be the father of the Space Submarine Doctrine.
Welcome to making history, fuckboiis.

Bonus:
+ [Master of Stealth] – In your search to make submarine warfare into space warfare, you have yet to find a way to make your ship completely disappear after striking, but in your research you have developed a methodology for sneak attacking using conventional tactics. + 5 to Sneak attacks, if roll is successful, damage is doubled
Flaws:
+ [Zyklon Karl] – A accident in the lab many years ago left Karl with a reliance upon a breathing apparatus. This as a result has left him confined to his respiration chamber for half of most days, and when he is out of it, his mask puts others off quite a bit, as does his odd voice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9wi0cPrU4U
1. Wolf and his son will drink to Feta squadron. They could have lived had more time been invested into Space Submarine Warfare. Today they would remember, tomorrow they would change Space Warfare forever. Still the Old Wolf will have to call it a night earlier than his son, the respiration chamber called.
2. While in the respiration Chamber the Old Wolf would keep tinkering on the concept of Space Submarine Warfare. Surely he would get some ideas on how to extend the time spent in the Dimension inbetween.

Captain’s Name: CLX-#124
Captain Fluff: CLX-#124 is one of the Empire's most adanced artifiial intelligent military drones. Designed to house the downloaded information of previous pilot aces, captains, as well as expert pilot programming, it is fully capable of piloting any unit it assimilates itself into.
Its central processing unit is surrounded by an array of tools and devices designed to allow it to manually repair, scavenge, or modify technological components. Given enough time and resources, it can repair and pilot a damaged ship alone. Admittedly, they are far more proficient at ships designed for individual piloting, particularly fighters, of which the bulk of their combat expertise is directed at, but they were designed to aid in a population shortage.
It specializes in high speed, high force manuevers and turns of which the G-Force would kill any organic pilots, but not an automated one.

1. You walk to the station pub and start a tab for drinks, offering to all that come a story of great men, men who fought and died to preserve order in the galaxy. Feta Squadron, the men who's pictures hang on the nearby wall of lost servicemen. A small gathering forms around you, with songs of soldiery and war stories being traded in equal value.
2. You stumble out of the bar several hours later, meandering down the halls of the station until finally finding your bunk. Once you stripped down to your flight diaper you sit in bed and pull out your holo-pad, bringing about recordings made by your flight cams from the last fight, staring intently at the footage of the two enemy flagships. Something seems odd about them, and not the fact that their carriers. They seem too smooth, almost alien in their design. You do note several ports on the sides of both ships, they glow intermittently at an interval that you cannot determine.

1. Your crew graciously accepts your offer of a feast and wheels you into the pub, which is close enough that they can hook you with wiring to the ship and wheel you into it. After 14 shots of a liquor you can't pronounce and you're almost certain could serve as starship fuel, you pass out for about 14 hours, before awaking back in your "cockpit" very hungover and a very large bill on your platter. Still, you seem to have built some rapport with the crew despite the cost.

2. After a few hours of detox, you call upon the head engineering to meet with you. When a short women in a tanktop knocks on the access hatch, you ask her if she knows when the head of engineering will be by. This riles the women up, and she has the large robot that is carrying her tear the hatch off before she steps into your cockpit.
"The Name is Chief Engineer Amya Dysterov, and I am here now."

1. Starva departs from his stolen fighter and wanders around the hanger he's in. He notes that it is oddly empty, and the only soul here beside him is a young mechanic working on a hydraulic rack that the fighters in service normally hang from.
Starva approaches the man and speaks "Hey, I'm the new guy, where is everyone?"
The mechanic, a small old man, looks at the rimworlder in a very queer way, and he continues to do so for several seconds before finally speaking. "Are you daft boy? This is Feta Squadron's hangar, and those boys all died not a day past."

You both take the elevator down several levels, Elijah's heavy breathing and growing wet spot in his trousers going unnoticed by Elisa Grayson. You finally arrive at the Station's Pub, where a roaring party in remembrance of Feta Squadron is being held. Grayson and Elijah take a seat on two stools at the end of the bar, and Angel orders two drinks, an Appletini for himself, and before he can order for her, Grayson asks for the usual, which is answered with scotch on the rocks.
The two talk long past the party's end, and by the time Angel walks Grayson back to her room, she has defrosted quite a bit. She even playfully throws her bangs over her ear before telling you goodnight.
Later that night, angel requisitions several units of hand lotion and some fresh socks.

1. You join the party and buy a round for everyone there, they are already absolutely smashed. Your rounds get them quite a bit more inebriated and by the end of the night you have to be carried out. Still, it was a fun time.
2. After sobering up; a process which is exponentially quicker you not, as it only takes you 3 hours to feel normal, you head to the archives down in the inner depths of the station. Once there, you spend hours pouring over the various data files you find, locating many forgotten Imperial supply depots that very well may be untouched by the rebellion, mayhaps this might prove a boon to the Loyalist counter-rebellion.

1. Karl has several steins of brew and retires to an early night in the respiration chamber, contemplating the idiosyncrasies of stealth warfare in space.
2. He continues to think and ponder this as an odd thing happens within the chamber. Some of the residual alcohol on Karl reacts with the gases in his chamber, causing him to hallucinate. He dreams of a ship, which can disappear and reappear at will, which it will do through some special coating on its hull. Fever dreams for sure, but it does help him think of some ways to revolutionize the methods of stealth warfare you already know.

Improved mag coils using the same basic premise of lance focusers to hone the field to a razor keen, better predictive software using the same techniques smart missiles have, armored subsystems, perhaps adjusting the autocannons to rotary to increase rate of fire while reducing the need to cool down with variable barrels that lock into place if they sustain damage, and finally a Chaff system to ablate or slow missiles and cause them to blow early.

1/2. Elisa begrudgingly accepts your "offer" for drinks, snarkingly replying with "As long as your scumball ass is paying."
You both take the elevator down several levels, discussing many things from how Grayson came to become an officer of the Royal Guard to how Angel got his mysterious facial scars.
You finally arrive at the Station's Pub, where a roaring party in remembrance of Feta Squadron is being held. Grayson and Elijah take a seat on two stools at the end of the bar, and Angel orders two drinks, an Gina and Tonic for himself, and before he can order for her, Grayson asks for the usual, which is answered with scotch on the rocks.
The two talk long past the party's end, and by the time Angel walks Grayson back to her room, she has defrosted quite a bit. She even playfully throws her bangs over her ear before telling you goodnight.

Captain’s Name: Captain Artemis Thulmir
Captain Fluff: Captain Artemis Thulmir is a failure, or was a failure. Loss after loss have been attributed to his name and it is a miracle him still remains in command of a ship. A slim rambling man prone to coughing fits born from an early childhood on a mining world it is a wonder he is still alive at all. However through every failure and disaster he still limps along, determined to do his duty to the empire.

Flaws: [Scum]: You've been a bad man in the past, but some are starting to see the heart you've grown as of late, and the dedication you have to this cause. Favor Gain changed from half-gain/double loss to 3/4 gain and 1/2 loss respectively.
1: Scotch is a pretty decent choice. I mean, y'know, for a woman. Certainly a lot better than the stuff that aristocrats drain down. I swear, some of those things are like a competition to find the most flaming damn drink, like you're just pouring out a couple packs of sugar with a drop of Tequila. My philosophy's always been Gin for talking, Vodka for doing. Maybe we'll see about a glass or two of the second over the next bet.
There's much more important business to attend to at the moment, however. First of all, I've got another social call to make. This one, unfortunately, is a lot less squeezable.
The Warden from the station should still be around here. Having a talk with that bastard might be a damn good idea, I think. Let's see if I can nose him down from whatever Imperial fuckboy's got their claws on him.
2. In what spare time I have, I'm going to run a session or two with the Marines. The last run on the station and the fact that the warden nearly tore me to shreds let me know how far out of practice I am. I need to get back into it, and sparring with the Marines is a good way to do that - and, hell, earn a bit of goodwill along the troops while I do it. Besides, the crew will appreciate me not hanging over them for training one more day.

Since the Warden was actually the one who went boom, I'm changing roll one to forming initial bonds with and understanding the key officers and specialists of the Hawk. A close relationship and a trusted commander go a long way in a combat situation, and after two fantastically successful missions, I get the feeling the crew of the Hawk will be quite liable to forming some bonds.

Captain’s Name: Feodor Von Valkheim III
Captain Fluff: Feodor was never supposed to be here. The heir apparent to the Valkheim family title and fortune, he was set to become one of the most powerful noblemen on the galactic stage. However, he fell victim to vicious blackmail and political maneuvering from his younger brother, Theobald von Valkheim IV. slanderous lies were told, and his name was blackened by gossip and intrigue. His father, Feodor Von Valkheim II was forced to disown his firstborn, and send him to the far reaches of the galaxy, to preserve the honor of the Valkheim name. Given captaincy over a destroyer (of his own design), he set about devising new tactics, and honing his political abilities, so that he could rise through the ranks, dominate the balance of power in the Navy, and strongarm his father into bringing him back into the fold. However, before he could get very far, the nobles rebelled, and threw his plans into disarray. Now part of a ragtag frontier fleet, he aims to hit the false leaders of the Empire where it hurts, and take his pound of flesh in compensation for the wrongs which have been done to him.
Ship Name: Wergild
Ship Type: Destroyer
Weapon Systems:
Small [1] Reaper-Z42 Autocannon [Kinetic] [2d10]
Medium [1] Redeemer Swarm Missiles [Missiles] [15d10]
Large [1] OOA-P [Kinetic] [2d80]
Ship fluff: The Wergild, is a deviation from the Naval norm. It fits into the size class of the destroyer, but the similarities end there. It's effectively a ship built around a gun. The OOA-P Heavy Artillery weapon takes up the bulk of space in the ship, and greatly decreases the amount of room and energy available to retrothrusters, making maneuvering much more difficult. The flip side of this sacrifice is the massive firepower now available to the captain, allowing him to place his ship towards the back or center of a formation, and fire exceptionally damaging ordinance, capable of engaging capital ships.
Ship Health: 250/250
Crew: 300
Upgrades: Armor Piercing Rounds (+10/+30/+65)
Imperial Favor: 0
Bonus: [Blue Blood] - Your name is well known among fleet command, your family respected, honored even. The Valkenhiems were one of the few Royal Houses that didn't betray the Emperor, but nobody has heard from them since the rebellion began. (Favor Gain is doubled)
Flaws: [Prototype] - Your ship is one of a kind, and as such is not able to be repaired as quickly as Fleet ships, not to mention that most of the hull had to be hallowed out to accommodate the massive cannon that runs its entire length. (Must roll for post mission repairs, - 5 to all combat rolls)
1/2. The ancient warrior-philosopher of Earth once said that if you know your enemy, and know yourself, you will be victorious in every battle. I do not intend to lose any fights, so I must learn about my enemy. The best way to do this is with Sneaky Bois (TM), or spies, as they are more commonly called. I have no network, and I must work to build one.
My family's name carries weight, even though I do not know much about my kin's current status. By presenting myself as good, just, and generous to prisoners or refugees from the Empire, I can endear myself to them, and someday let them loose into the Empire. The lowlives in my employ will be my local spies. Simple gifts of candy, cigarettes, or alcohol could win me many friends.
I might also cautiously approach persons who have fallen out of favor with the new government, who might be willing to sell me secrets in exchange for protection, or promises.
I might also recruit the occasional spies from our own ranks, feed them false information, and send them into positions where they are likely to be captured. Ideally, these spies will be relatively unintelligent and weak willed, to maximize the chances of capture and "successful" interrogation. If they believe they know where and when we plan to move and strike, they will give up this information in interrogation, especially if they believe that they have been handled poorly. Thus, they will be given false briefings of the identities of spies (actually traitor lords or their retinues), false reports on our fleet movements, false reports of our manpower, resources, and battle readiness, and false reports of our plans for attack. These doomed spies will save the empire and never know it. It is a despicable, honorless thing to do, to be sure, but a necessary thing in these dark times.
Once I have attracted spies, I will treat them with honor, sincerity, and generosity. That is the only way that I can ensure their loyalty.

Captain’s Name: Herbert Strenhausen IV
Nickname: Sherbet Funhouse, Fat Fuck, Captain Pyle
Captain Fluff: The third son of Baron Strenhausen III, Herbert was a sheer and utter disappointment in every way. Out of shape, flabby, and a wee-bit autistic, nevertheless Strenhausen was awarded a ship to command for his nobility. However, even he knew of his physical limitations, mostly from his endless hazing during the Academy that carried on all the way till he was assigned his ship, but even still, and so he chose to sacrifice his body for the sake of the empire. Gone were his rather useless legs and arms, and instead came docking ports that allowed him to hook up and synch in with the ship he pilots to further his combat ability. That way, he could do what he did best: sit around and shoot things on a screen. But in this case he would instead proudly serve the Empire by doing so.
Ship Name: The Stuffed Sausage

Bonus: [Unbound] - You and your ship are the same, you are it and it is you. Thusly you operate it better then any pilot or captain can ever dream of, as moving its guns and manevuring can be performed with as much finesse as the acrobats of the Imperial Circus. +15 to combat actions.
Flaws: [Metal Cage] - You cannot separate from your ship without weeks of detox and adjusting, as the mental linkage is that strong. As such you cannot eject when your ship is destroyed, when it dies, you die with it.

Captain’s Name: Prof. Dr. Karl Wolf
Captain Fluff: Before the War Wolf was a military scientist engaged in the development of numerous ship technologies, however with the death of the Emperor times had changed and Wolf was forced to retreat to the Veil where the last faithful remnants of the Imperial Fleet remained.
Numerous times before men had fought far superior fleets. Back on his homeworld they had adapted and taken the fight from the surface down to the black depths of the ocean where no light could reach. Submarines they were called, ships that struck anywhere with merciless fury.
The Imperial Fleet was faced with a problem that was very alike and they too could develop capacities to take the fight beyond the minds of normal men. Beyond what was even considered the realm of possibility. They would strike from a dimensions others doubted to exist. Karl Wolf would be the father of the Space Submarine Doctrine.

Flaws:
+ [Zyklon Karl] – A accident in the lab many years ago left Karl with a reliance upon a breathing apparatus. This as a result has left him confined to his respiration chamber for half of most days, and when he is out of it, his mask puts others off quite a bit, as does his odd voice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9wi0cPrU4U
1-2. The perfection of Stealth Warfare would remain Karl's primary objective. A fleet of Space Submarines would strike fear into the hearts of any galactic rebellion! He would work on this concept for hours on end until finally it was time to approach their new assignment.

1. After more careful review, you come upon a startling realization. These ships are not of Imperial make. In fact, after several hours of research, you can say with certainty that ships of that class have not existed until now, and they certainly weren't made by Imperial Shipyards. Whats more, you discover the idle chatter of reckless rebel pilots on the recording, and set about making a code book that will allow you to decipher parts of their transmissions.
Traitor Tactics: 14/15
2. You head down to R&D to talk to the eggheads about your ideas, but they are much more distracted with a recent discovery by Captain Artemis Thulmir of a ancient derelict shipyard, the home of the Redeemer Class Battle-cruisers, notorious for being the ships that brought about the laws outlawing AI in the ancient Empire. Still, they write down what you say and promise to work on it as soon as they get the chance.

1/2. You look through the itinerary for any mention of the Redeemer-Class Battlecruisers, and one search result pops up on your cogitator. Its a orbital shipyard around a planet you've never heard up in a system that doesn't exist in Imperial Charts.
Forebodingly, the Star is labeled as "Orias", the Shipyard itself orbits a broken world, which bears the designation of H-ZX3. A priority message appears on your datapad, from the Upper levels of Fleet Command. Fleet Commander Zuric himself.

The Quartermaster looks at you incredulously, before shutting his window and heading into the bowels of the Storage decks. He returns several hours later, a little worse for the wear, but he hands you a very ornately carved box containing what appears to be the finest pistol you have ever laid eyes on.

While his crew is warming up to him, dismantling the rigid system that these men have been trained in will take some time.
Crew Friendship 2/6
2. You spend the last few hours of the day on the marine's deck, training with them and running some combat sims yourself. In particular you work on the boarding sim extensively, noting the unseen problems with boarding a enemy craft, such as unknown deck layouts, ambushes, and the very environment itself being turned against you.

Captain Fluff: Nihlus was once an up and coming cadet in one of the Empire's myriad Officer schools. He was smart, intuitive and savvy. However his greatest flaw was always his mouth. He was brash, uncouth, even rude at times and that cost him with his fellows, as he always said his mind, even when discretion with his betters would have been wise.
As such his peer reviews were horid and even some of his teachers, those who disliked his manner or were bought by another, were overly harsh on him.

Its central processing unit is surrounded by an array of tools and devices designed to allow it to manually repair, scavenge, or modify technological components. Given enough time and resources, it can repair and pilot a damaged ship alone. Admittedly, they are far more proficient at ships designed for individual piloting, particularly fighters, of which the bulk of their combat expertise is directed at, but they were designed to aid in a population shortage.

Thulmir arrives at the imposing waiting room for the FC office, his personal aide, a small man with a pointed face.
"The Fleet Commander will see you now Captain. Proceed through this door into his office."
Thulmir approaches the heavy blast doors that mark FC Zuric's office, knocking once before being told to come in.
Thulmir approaches the desk and promptly salutes, with the Fleet Commander offering the returning salute before telling Thulmir to sit down.
"I'm not going to beat around the bushes here Thulmir, you've really pissed me off! Your performance in the last few missions has been inexcusable to say the least, and…"
You see the FC reach under his desk and push a button, an slightly audible fwoosh fills the air, before a almost silent 'chunk'.
"…Now that we are alone and unheard, lets get to business. Have you informed anyone of your little discovery?"
Thulmir informs the FC that he hasn't, and one could visibly see the stress melt away from Zuric's face.
"Good, we do not want a secret like this getting out. All of us here are far too young to remember the Redeemer Wars, and many of the data files detailing them are available only to people like me and several of my colleagues, but do believe me when I say this. The war that we will be waging will be nothing like the one that was fought so many millennia ago. Systems burned, worlds died, over half the galaxy was sterilized by those things, we thought them all dead, destroyed by the emperor and his secret weapon, but now we know that is not the case. These things aren't active, otherwise this coup d'etat would be the least of our worries, but we cannot allow anyone to rediscover them and risk reactivating them and the automated shipyard that is making them. Your fleet will be tasked with their destruction, and do ensure that the AI that you have in your fleet does not make any contact, physical or otherwise, with the AI aboard those ships. It shall not survive the encounter."
Zuric hands you a data stack in the form of a holopad, before making some notes on his own.
"That's your dossier, it covers everything we've discussed. Let anyone else see it and you'll be thrown out of an airlock into the big purple star over there, after we disavow you as traitor and a madman. Now, enjoy what remains of your off-time, you and your fleet ship off in a day. Dismissed"
Zuric goes back to his work, before taking one last look at you, an odd expression on his face
"Captain, where in the world did you get Lazarus nanites?"
Thulmir gives a witty smirk before turning and leaving the room. He was dismissed, after all.

Captain’s Name: Feodor Von Valkheim III
Captain Fluff: Feodor was never supposed to be here. The heir apparent to the Valkheim family title and fortune, he was set to become one of the most powerful noblemen on the galactic stage. However, he fell victim to vicious blackmail and political maneuvering from his younger brother, Theobald von Valkheim IV. slanderous lies were told, and his name was blackened by gossip and intrigue. His father, Feodor Von Valkheim II was forced to disown his firstborn, and send him to the far reaches of the galaxy, to preserve the honor of the Valkheim name. Given captaincy over a destroyer (of his own design), he set about devising new tactics, and honing his political abilities, so that he could rise through the ranks, dominate the balance of power in the Navy, and strongarm his father into bringing him back into the fold. However, before he could get very far, the nobles rebelled, and threw his plans into disarray. Now part of a ragtag frontier fleet, he aims to hit the false leaders of the Empire where it hurts, and take his pound of flesh in compensation for the wrongs which have been done to him.
Ship Name: Wergild

Small [1] Reaper-Z42 Autocannon [Kinetic] [2d10]
Medium [1] Redeemer Swarm Missiles [Missiles] [15d10]
Large [1] OOA-P [Kinetic] [2d80]
Ship fluff: The Wergild, is a deviation from the Naval norm. It fits into the size class of the destroyer, but the similarities end there. It's effectively a ship built around a gun. The OOA-P Heavy Artillery weapon takes up the bulk of space in the ship, and greatly decreases the amount of room and energy available to retrothrusters, making maneuvering much more difficult. The flip side of this sacrifice is the massive firepower now available to the captain, allowing him to place his ship towards the back or center of a formation, and fire exceptionally damaging ordinance, capable of engaging capital ships.

Imperial Favor: 0
Bonus: [Blue Blood] - Your name is well known among fleet command, your family respected, honored even. The Valkenhiems were one of the few Royal Houses that didn't betray the Emperor, but nobody has heard from them since the rebellion began. (Favor Gain is doubled)
Flaws: [Prototype] - Your ship is one of a kind, and as such is not able to be repaired as quickly as Fleet ships, not to mention that most of the hull had to be hallowed out to accommodate the massive cannon that runs its entire length. (Must roll for post mission repairs, - 5 to all combat rolls)

1. No talk on any kind of shipyard, but there is a strange voice you subtly detect in the background, a low voice, speaking in a frequency lower then the average human can hear, but only very hard for Nihlus to detect due to the genetic engineering afforded to him due to the station of his birth
Gain Bonus: [To know thy enemy] - With countless hours spent studying enemy formations, Nihlus has learned the ways of the human enemies he has fought, and in understanding them, he can manipulate, deceive and crush them. + 5 to combat rolls against human rebels.
2. Nihlus descends to R&D and continues to pester them about the new kinetic weapons he desires so much, but much to his chagrin over 3/4 of the staff is gone, apparently working on some new upgrades and additions for the fleet. Still, he does converse with those who remain, and they insist they are working on his upgrades, albeit slowly.

1. Angel continues to make overt overtures towards his crew, all in the effort to grow closer to them. A crew gets a job done effectively, and works for each other under the pretense of duty; A family works for each other and can accomplish almost anything. Some crew members respond to this well. Others….. Not as well. What will eventually become known as the "Noodle incident" occurs in this time, when a cook rejects Angel's notion of Family and promptly tells him to "get stuffed", to which Angel responded with breaking the man's jaw and stuffing 14 pounds of pasta down his throat while pouring hot red sauce on his bald scalp, before exclaiming "That'sa Spicy MEATBALL!" and throwing him off the ship. Some say that this has hurt crew relations
[Crew Friendship 0/6]
2. Training with the marines went much better, as Angel was able to put his anger towards something productive and train amongst the Royal Marines, some fresh recruits, runaways from home sneaking onto whatever loyalist ships still delivered supplies to the Veil, learning much from the man.

1/2. Thulmir had done it again, sorry, wrong tone…. 'Thulmir hath done it again'. Somehow this formerly old man has managed to find something quite wonderful when he was looking for something quite mundane. Fuel and Ammo was what he was looking for, but what he found contained both, though not ammo for her guns, as she lacked any. She was affectionately called "Estela" by her previous crew, which last crewed her over 100 years ago. For some reason her ship class was discontinued, most likely because of the lack of actual wars in the Empire meant her class, which specialized in force projection, an unnecessary expense. Still, she is good as new and ready to fly at a moments notice, and as her design is essentially a modified cruiser, there are people to pilot her. Not to mention the pilots that will be needed for the fighters. Did I not mention that? Estela is a Percheron-Class light Carrier, outfitted to carry/maintain 10 fighters/bombers for extended deployments, and she's all Thulmir's to command. Not that he actually has to command her though.

Captain’s Name: Nihlus Striesse
Captain Fluff: Nihlus was once an up and coming cadet in one of the Empire's myriad Officer schools. He was smart, intuitive and savvy. However his greatest flaw was always his mouth. He was brash, uncouth, even rude at times and that cost him with his fellows, as he always said his mind, even when discretion with his betters would have been wise.
As such his peer reviews were horid and even some of his teachers, those who disliked his manner or were bought by another, were overly harsh on him. This in turn got him relegated to patrol destroyer in the frontier. So while his peers were getting rent limb from limb he himself was patrolling, then fleeing from the coming storm until he could regroup with allies.

Royal Guard Spy Network: 6/20
1. As I pace down the cramped halls of the destroyer, making a cursory inspection of the crew, I think to myself that it might be acceptable to not put ALL of my time and energy into the building of the spy network. These things take time, and cannot be rushed. But what to do in my free time? It would be impossible to add anything to the ship, at least on the inside. It's simply too cramped. As a matter of fact, my quarters aren't much larger than those of the average crewman. If this vessel is to be improved, it will either be by the upgrading of its hardware, the addition of exterior devices, or the training of its crew. That's it! The ship's weakness is its specialization, and subsequent difficulty to handle. That makes it sluggish, and slow to realize orders. If we can train our crew to better understand their specialties, we could mitigate some of the penalty of being a prototype. The cannon technicians will be able to diagnose and repair problems with the main gun in the dark. Missile specialists shall be capable of reloading their weapon with one hand tied behind their back. The men on the autocannons must be capable of disassembling and reassembling their gun as a team in under thirty minutes. The drilling will begin tomorrow at 06:30. [Begin drilling crew to improve proficiency, or perhaps even reduce combat penalty]

Captain’s Name: Herbert Strenhausen IV
Nickname: Sherbet Funhouse, Fat Fuck, Captain Pyle
Captain Fluff: The third son of Baron Strenhausen III, Herbert was a sheer and utter disappointment in every way. Out of shape, flabby, and a wee-bit autistic, nevertheless Strenhausen was awarded a ship to command for his nobility. However, even he knew of his physical limitations, mostly from his endless hazing during the Academy that carried on all the way till he was assigned his ship, but even still, and so he chose to sacrifice his body for the sake of the empire. Gone were his rather useless legs and arms, and instead came docking ports that allowed him to hook up and synch in with the ship he pilots to further his combat ability. That way, he could do what he did best: sit around and shoot things on a screen. But in this case he would instead proudly serve the Empire by doing so.

Flaws: [Metal Cage] - You cannot separate from your ship without weeks of detox and adjusting, as the mental linkage is that strong. As such you cannot eject when your ship is destroyed, when it dies, you die with it.

1/2: I ought to see about making up to the crew for losing my temper a bit there - should be easier now that that piece of shit chef is off my goddamn vessel. The rest of 'em are a good sort, and some good old combat training and bar-cruising should help solidify the relationships I've been building up - which'll mean a more efficient crew, of course.

A slim rambling man prone to coughing fits born from an early childhood on a mining world it is a wonder he is still alive at all. However through every failure and disaster he still limps along, determined to do his duty to the empire.

[LZRS] - For some reason you feel different, but not in a bad way.
Flaws: [Slightly Competent] - This String of victories are causing some of the higher-ups to question just why your record is so utterly awful. Maybe it wasn't your fault after all. No favor cost increase for upgrades, but still for ships.

Captain’s Name: CLX-#124
Captain Fluff: CLX-#124 is one of the Empire's most adanced artifiial intelligent military drones. Designed to house the downloaded information of previous pilot aces, captains, as well as expert pilot programming, it is fully capable of piloting any unit it assimilates itself into.
Its central processing unit is surrounded by an array of tools and devices designed to allow it to manually repair, scavenge, or modify technological components. Given enough time and resources, it can repair and pilot a damaged ship alone. Admittedly, they are far more proficient at ships designed for individual piloting, particularly fighters, of which the bulk of their combat expertise is directed at, but they were designed to aid in a population shortage.
It specializes in high speed, high force manuevers and turns of which the G-Force would kill any organic pilots, but not an automated one.

Bonus: [Assuming Direct Control] – Your “escape pod” is in fact your body, and with it you can attack small enemy vessels and take control of them should your ship die.
Flaws: [Abomination] – Fleet Command remembers your model, and all the headaches it gave them.

1-2. There is some interesting developments going on with kinetic upgrades from pilot Striesse here in R&D, and good work is being done. I would like to witness these experiments and perhaps ask my other friends if they could be applied to my own vessel. I could use more powerful kinetic projectiles for my auto canons.

1. Nihlus submits his reports on the battle's findings to the intelligence division on-board the Aluxia, and several hours later receives a notification on his data-pad from an adjunct in the Intelligence department
" …would like to thank you for preforming some research into the enemy in your shore leave time, we will make ample use of this information to equip ourselves to better combat….
…will notice a small boon added to your next stipend, as befits the work you have done….
…is important to fight the enemy on all fronts, and in researching them to not fall prey to their…"
This continues on for several paragraphs, but you also notice an attachment containing several very high-up signatures granting you access to extended resources.
+ 15 Favor
2. Before Nihlus can walk in the door to Research and Development, he hears a loud explosion, and feels the floor jolt beneath him. The klaxon that signals a hull breach rings loud and clear and the reverberations of slamming bulkheads runs up his legs. Thinking the station is under attack, Nihlus radios his helmsmen to warm up the engines of the Perilous, only for the coxswain to ask him what the hell he's talking about. Pertubed, but at ease since it appeared the station was not in fact under attack, Nihlus drew his sidearm and entered an override to enter the depths of R&D. Red emergency lights flicker on and off in an offbeat pattern, their generator apparently damaged, but what Nihlus sees in the brief moments of light seems… off.
There are no bodies, no blood, only a massive blast mark that cuts clean through R&D and the 12 adjacent departments and rooms, and exits clean into the black void of space. Nihlus speaks up "Anyone alive?" He is answered with meek moans as the scientist and engineers emerge from their hiding places, their coats and jumpsuits covered in some black residue, others with odd burn marks on their clothes. "What caused this?" Nihlus asked, to be answered by several shaking hands pointing to a hither-to unnoticed odd weapon hooked up to several very large generators scattered around the room, several of them blown out from an apparent overload.
Nihlus stepped closer to the weapon, an odd blue hue radiating from the various couplings on the weapon.
"What is this?" Nihlus asks, reaching towards the weapon
A nearby scientist manages to stutter out an answer "Rrrrr-rree-Reversed engineered tttt-technology from the unknnn-nown craft that Captain Brown hit. We dododon't know how it works, but its very destructive."
Nihlus runs his hands along the weapon, its glow increasing as he touches it, almost as if it responds to his touch.
"There, there is another weapon as well, even more complex then the last. It uses a miniaturized drive of some sort to "skip" past layers of armor to penetrate an enemy's ship, detonating and killing crew and the ship itself."
Nihlus could only dream of the new possibilities available to him.

1. Yoto spent another day at the range, honing his skills with his new gun. He had finally found something that seemed to quell the rage that burned inside of him, as he cheerfully burned holes in the targets of rebel soldiers present at the range. After a long day of practice he felt as if he had finally made some real progress, and knew the skills he had developed would surely come in handy next time he was involved in any ground combat.
Skill: [Pistols I] - + 5 combat rolls involving pistols and + 5 strength to Yoto when wielding a pistol.
2. The crew training, however, went much less smoother then his pistol training. The crew seemed distracted, distant even. They had the look in their eyes of men filled with ennui. Progress was made, but very little of it.

1. No one showed up, the entire crew was missing. Was this some sort of joke? Did the station's clock change and no-one told Feodor? What the hell is this?
It doesn't matter, because apparently some commanding officer noticed the fact that absolutely none of your troops showed up for the apparent inspection you were supposed to have today. Your status as a commander has been called into question.
- 5 Favor
2. To take your mind off of your possible impending demotion, you get back to work setting up the spy network using contacts from your old life. The work goes as well as you can expect it to, reaching out as a dethroned Nogerian trade prince to several distant relatives, asking for access to their personal accounts and handbrains in order to wire inordinate amounts of credits to them for "safe-keeping". The plan works like a charm and now you have privy access to several core worlds inner social network, surely to be a boon to your growing network.

1/2. Angel spends the last day of shore leave training his men, and the last night taking them out to the bar. After all, who knows what they'll be sent to kill, steal, or blow up this time. A warrior never knows what day will be his last, so he spends his nights living as if it was, and Angel was a fine warrior at that.
As his crew stumbled back to the ship to sleep off their varying degrees of stupor, Angel walked in a different direction; He walked towards the quarters of one Elisa Grayson. She was an uptight bitch, but Angel always appreciated a tough nut to crack, its one of the reason he took to high class thievery. A strong safe is a fun safe, and Elisa's "safe" might as well be the Royal Vaults on Ra’kathum. Still, if he was going to die tomorrow, he might as well try to get laid tonight….

1/2. Thulmir didn't need a carrier for what he had in mind, he was looking for something else, something specific….
Ah, this looked promising. A munitions storeworld off in the Abyssal Reaches. After the 3rd Doctrinal Conflict of the 4580's, the various warring factions all had their remaining ships stripped from their ports and parked here, as a reserve incase the grand fleet was ever lost. These ships would be centuries out of date by now, but maybe, just maybe it had what thulmir was looking for…
>>38658
1/2. CLX ventured down to the Depths of Aluxia to the R&D department, eager to ;earn of the supposed new advancements that were occurring there. No sooner then the machine has passed through the door had he seen some evidence of this new progress. A massive cannon, running off of what must at least 12 generators. It appears to be entering some sort of initiation phase as CLX hovers in the room, before a bright blue flash fills the room.
What happens next is a blur, as a bright flash fills the room, and CLX's sensors tell him that he is moving very fast through a very hot area, then his sensors tell him he's entering a almost absolute zero area. His ocular sensors then register the debris floating around him, and the round that made the hole flying away at ludicrous speeds. Later reports indicate that it impacted a small planetary body, carving a hole clean through to the other side of the body and not stopping. CLX used several of the debris to fashion himself a small propulsion unit and jetted slowly back to Aluxia, where engineering teams were already investigating the breech.

A klaxon disrupts the relatively peaceful "night" onbaord the Station Aluxia. It shrill bark heralding the voice of Zuric's weedy adjunct.
ALL CAPTAINS ARE TO REPORT TO THE BRIEFING AREA ON LEVEL 117 FOR MISSION ASSIGNMENTS
Dutifully the men leave their bunks, put on their duty uniforms, and head their various ways to the briefing room. To their surprise it is not Officer Grayson that greets them, but rather a man from the Intelligence Division, his black uniform standing in stark contrast to the white walls of the room.
The man turns on a holoscreen with a remote before speaking. "Good evening gentlemen, I am General Counsel Viktor Pluume, and I am here to inform you men just what it is you will be trying to kill in a few hours." He brings up a 3-D model of a very large and foreboding ship, gesturing to its core "This is the latest known design of the Redeemer-Class Battlecruiser, a fully sentient A.I. warship that was created millenia ago using technology salvaged from a world in the Halo Stars. Technoloy, I might add, that is very reminiscent of the hulk that Ensign Brown collided with."
He then continues on to a holovid, taken from some sort of satellite or station, showing a conflict between several Redeemer -Class vessels supported by numerous smaller vessels, and what looks to be an Imperial Fleet. "As you can see, while for a time the Redeemer served its purpose well, something caused them to… rebel. We don't know what it was still after all these years, but the price of their Rebellion was terrible. The ships made up just 35% of the Capital ships in the Royal navy at the time of their insurrection, but quickly grew enough to challenge the might of the Imperial fleet. They scoured over a 100 worlds before they were stopped at the Jolun Reach by the Emperor and his Dragon. The Emperor's own titan as severly damaged in the fighting, with only the martial (and other) skills of the Dragon seeing the day through. His executors danced through the battlefield like angels of death, felling machine fighters and capitals alike. We thought them dead as the Harbinger fleet flew forth from Jolun and scattered what little remained of this A.I. rebellion. Apparently we were wrong. The danger that these ships pose is massive, and cannot be ignored. For the time being this even takes higher priority then combating the rebellion, as if these machines awake then we will have no planets, no empire, no people to fight over. Only the ashes of empire, scattering on the stellar wind."
The holoprojector displays a dark planet orbiting a black star, the absence of light radiating from it being the only clue to its existence. "This is the Orias system, currently excluded from Imperial Records for a reason we are not aware of. The world you see, or rather, pieces of a world you see, are the remains of Dracaris, a old robotic mining colony and automated shipyard that existed before the First Culling. Preliminary scans and scouting vessels report no activity in the system, but we must ensure that if there are any Redeemer vessels here, that they be destroyed; along with any plans for them, or any A.I. cores found. You are to board and search the station, and sweep the planet below for any signs of activity, be it machine or otherwise. Once you have ensured that nothing is active here, you are to destroy the station after emptying its databanks and returning them to Aluxia."
Pluume turns the holoprojector off before turning and walking towards the door. He leaves all of you with one last piece of wisdom.
"The Emperor Protects, captains. Trust in his light and you shall not falter in this task."
END BRIEFING
Favor Upon Completion: 75 Favor

Captain’s Name: Nihlus Striesse
Captain Fluff: Nihlus was once an up and coming cadet in one of the Empire's myriad Officer schools. He was smart, intuitive and savvy. However his greatest flaw was always his mouth. He was brash, uncouth, even rude at times and that cost him with his fellows, as he always said his mind, even when discretion with his betters would have been wise.
As such his peer reviews were horid and even some of his teachers, those who disliked his manner or were bought by another, were overly harsh on him. This in turn got him relegated to patrol destroyer in the frontier. So while his peers were getting rent limb from limb he himself was patrolling, then fleeing from the coming storm until he could regroup with allies.

Feodor stops the spook before he leaves the room.
"General Counsel Pluume, I've got a question before you go. If we do discover one of these vessels, would conversion from AI control to a user interface design be possible, if the vessel were disabled and boarded? Is there a way we can come out on top, and gain an advantage with a new capital ship, despite the losses which seem inevitable?"

"Hold up." Angel says near the end of the speech, his arm slung haphazardly back against his chair. "You're throwing perfectly good men and ships, and wasting a hell of a lot of time, to fight a third-party unknown Redeemer fleet, when you've got a perfectly good rebellion to throw at them?"
Angel pauses for a second, scoffing. "Are you out of your damn mind, Councillor - Counsel, whatever. At best, there's nothing there, and we've wasted a valuable expedition on ghost calls. At worst, it's either a Rebel ambush or an activated A.I., both of which are going to hurt us badly. Why, exactly, aren't we making use of the Rebellion, who think themselves mostly secure at the moment, to probe this system and take any fire that might show up? Is there some data we've neglected entirely right up until there's A.I. waking up in-system? Or is this just poor planning?"

After sorting out all remaining affairs and overseeing new refits of their craft, the captains of the now formidable frontier fleet ready for the mission ahead of them, unsure of wait awaits them out in the void. The captains and pilots gather in hanger 7A for a final send off, but not from either the Fleet Commander, Officer Grayson or any of the other command staff. Instead, it is Director Pluume who awaits
you, in his all black uniform and polished bald head. He greets all of you as one. "Greetings, Captains and Pilots. All of you are already aware of what your mission entails today, but none of you are aware of who and what will be accompanying you. When you exit from warp, you will not see it, but a stealth destroyer, our last stealth destroyer, will be waiting for you. It will contain the sensor array and other data suites that will be used to scan the wreckage and ruins for signs of activity, and will be gathering any and all data we can obtain from the derelict station and any other remains in this space graveyard. You, in addition to preforming manual sweeps of the shipyard and station wreckage, will be providing protection and hauling duty for the stealth ship, which bears the designation "Midwinter Solace". After confirmation of complete inactivity of the site has been confirmed, and all available intel has been gathered from the site, the mission will be complete and you will return back to the station."
With the final briefing over, the captains and pilots move towards and mount their respective machines of war. A final check and a all clear from Tower Control and the fleet is off, forming around Thulmir's Flagship. As the route shares both wonderful features of being extremely old and extremely long, the series of jumps is both long and perilous, with quite a few oddities screaming into view only to be lost mere seconds later as the fleet speed past at super-relativistic speeds. Several hours later, with mere minutes till their arrival at the Orias system, the ready klaxon sounds across all vessels of the fleet; In answer, men rush to their post, weapons are warmed up and shields brought online. No report had been received from the Stealth Destroyer since departure from the Veil, and that was cause enough for the captains to approach this mission as though they were crawling into the lion's den.

The Fleet registers a strange energy field as they drop out of hyperspace, before suddenly reports throughout the fleet tell the same disturbing story. A sickly humming originating from the warp drive of all the ships in the fleet, followed by a incandescent green glow.The drives then all activate simultaneously, not responding to any attempts to stop them, and even in the case of Captain Yoto, cutting all power to the engines. The ships once again all enter hyperspace at once, destination unknown. Readings indicate that this is not your standard warp jump, as unknown energies warp the space around the fleet, and the once familiar sky blue hue of the space lanes have been replaced with the same sickly green color that now engulfs the hyper-cores of each ship. For several minutes this continues, before the familiar sirens of the end of an impending warp jump sound, and the fleet finds itself cast into chaos. They emerge on the edge of an unknown system, with two massive fleets slugging it out, as lances burn holes in crafts like a searing knife through lard, while swarms of fighters prey upon those who are too slow or lack the proper point defenses to drive them off. Missile screens the size of large asteroids crash into the flanks of ships large enough to shrug off the impact of a small moon.
What the hell is going on?

Captain’s Name: Nihlus Striesse
Captain Fluff: Nihlus was once an up and coming cadet in one of the Empire's myriad Officer schools. He was smart, intuitive and savvy. However his greatest flaw was always his mouth. He was brash, uncouth, even rude at times and that cost him with his fellows, as he always said his mind, even when discretion with his betters would have been wise.
As such his peer reviews were horid and even some of his teachers, those who disliked his manner or were bought by another, were overly harsh on him. This in turn got him relegated to patrol destroyer in the frontier. So while his peers were getting rent limb from limb he himself was patrolling, then fleeing from the coming storm until he could regroup with allies.

Imperial Favor: 4
Bonus: [Peerless] - Nihlus was one of the brightest, one of the best, yet marred by his arrogance and brashness. It was mere months ago that he was "exiled" to the frontier, and his skills are still fresh. + 5 to all actions.

Flaws: [Pride Cometh] - Your boldness is your strength, but also it feeds your greatest weakness; Pride. You cannot run from fights from ships of the same class or smaller than yours.
1. "ALL HANDS TO BATTLESTATIONS, RED ALERT!" The klaxons of the ship blared as the automated speaker system gave an unnecessary warning. "Get me a Full scan of those ships and compare them to all known profiles, NOW! Also get me their comms and IFF. I want to know what the fuck is going on here."
+5 Peerless
+5 if to know thy enemy is applicable
2. Also compare the stars to our star charts, figure out where the hell we are, now.

Captain’s Name: Feodor Von Valkheim III
Captain Fluff: Feodor was never supposed to be here. The heir apparent to the Valkheim family title and fortune, he was set to become one of the most powerful noblemen on the galactic stage. However, he fell victim to vicious blackmail and political maneuvering from his younger brother, Theobald von Valkheim IV. slanderous lies were told, and his name was blackened by gossip and intrigue. His father, Feodor Von Valkheim II was forced to disown his firstborn, and send him to the far reaches of the galaxy, to preserve the honor of the Valkheim name. Given captaincy over a destroyer (of his own design), he set about devising new tactics, and honing his political abilities, so that he could rise through the ranks, dominate the balance of power in the Navy, and strongarm his father into bringing him back into the fold. However, before he could get very far, the nobles rebelled, and threw his plans into disarray. Now part of a ragtag frontier fleet, he aims to hit the false leaders of the Empire where it hurts, and take his pound of flesh in compensation for the wrongs which have been done to him.
Ship Name: Wergild
Ship Type: Destroyer
Weapon Systems:
Small [1] Reaper-Z42 Autocannon [Kinetic] [2d10]
Medium [1] Redeemer Swarm Missiles [Missiles] [15d10]
Large [1] OOA-P [Kinetic] [2d80]
Ship fluff: The Wergild, is a deviation from the Naval norm. It fits into the size class of the destroyer, but the similarities end there. It's effectively a ship built around a gun. The OOA-P Heavy Artillery weapon takes up the bulk of space in the ship, and greatly decreases the amount of room and energy available to retrothrusters, making maneuvering much more difficult. The flip side of this sacrifice is the massive firepower now available to the captain, allowing him to place his ship towards the back or center of a formation, and fire exceptionally damaging ordinance, capable of engaging capital ships.
Ship Health: 250/250
Crew: 300
Upgrades: Armor Piercing Rounds (+10/+30/+65)
Imperial Favor: -5
Bonus: [Blue Blood] - Your name is well known among fleet command, your family respected, honored even. The Valkenhiems were one of the few Royal Houses that didn't betray the Emperor, but nobody has heard from them since the rebellion began. (Favor Gain is doubled)
Flaws: [Prototype] - Your ship is one of a kind, and as such is not able to be repaired as quickly as Fleet ships, not to mention that most of the hull had to be hallowed out to accommodate the massive cannon that runs its entire length. (Must roll for post mission repairs, - 5 to all combat rolls)
Royal Guard Spy Network: 9/20
1. When there is time, men will be whipped for this infraction. The idea that any man would defy my orders is absolutely mind-boggling. For now, though, there are things to do. "I want someone looking into what just happened in the drives. My guess is that it was some sort of digital intrusion. Whatever it is, fix it. I want to be able to either get out of here or know that we're not going to be warped into a star the next time something like that happens."
2. "Herr Fleiss, I want an immediate sitrep. Tell me what the watch have seen, and what our sensors indicate. Coordinate with the other ships in the fleet to get a bigger picture of the current situation."

Captain’s Name: Ensign Elijah Brown - 'Angel'
Captain Fluff: http://pastebin.com/kUJ9kqMq
Ship Name: The Imperial Hawk
Ship Type: Destroyer
Weapon Systems:
2x Small Reaper-Z42 Autocannons (6d10)
1x Medium 4769T ECM Pulse (1d50)
1x Redeemer Swarm Missiles (10d10)
1x Flak Drone (30 Health, 10d15)
1x Repair Drone (15 Health, 15 repair/round)
Ship Health: 200/200
Ship Shields: 150/150 +30/round
Crew: 100/100
Upgrades: [Armor Piercing Rounds(M)][Shields(M)][Flak Drone(M)][Repair Drone(S)][Shield Recharger (M)]
Imperial Favor: 12
Crew/Personal Bonuses: [Soldiery I] [Crew Training I]
Contacts: [Officer Elisa Grayson]
Friendships: [Royal Marines] - The men responsible for the ground war against the Rebellion call you a comrade, though you may not wear their colors.
Bonus: [One-Winged Angel] – A life of violence breeds hard men, and Elijah is no exception. His upbringing instilled in him a great understanding of the way of things, and how to exploit them. He would not have risen as high as he did had he not. Now the time comes to put his skills to work again, and not for himself for a change. May reroll one combat action per turn
Flaws: [Scum]: You've been a bad man in the past, but some are starting to see the heart you've grown as of late, and the dedication you have to this cause. Favor Gain changed from half-gain/double loss to 3/4 gain and 1/2 loss respectively.
1/2: The obvious course of action is to hang far, far back from this until a grip is gained on the situation. It shouldn't be terribly hard to distinguish things with fleets this large - but just being close enough to run scans is a danger in and of itself. See about figuring out if these are rebels, imperials, AI, or something else entirely - for both sides.
