Mercenary Crew: Age of the Rebellion: Discussion and Recruitment thread

[starmark2k]

This is going to be my forth attempt at doing a Mercenary Crew thread (Maybe I should copyright them) and Two failed but one is a success, So I think I’ve worked out where I went wrong in some and went right in the other.

 

The major failing in the Two that failed is the lack of planning that went into them. So this time round I won’t make that mistake and will not start until the planning has been done. Hence planning will be done in three stages.

 

1) Recruitment- This is the basic getting your character sheets and crew positions sorted out… I’m putting a 7 person limit on as I think more than that is too many.

 

2) Relationships- This is the real failing of the Separatist one as no one knew each other and the lack of history between Characters ruined it for me.

 

and

 

3) Timeline- This is done so we all know when major events happened in characters lives and in the Galaxy

(Yes I’m using the carnage, but it was a nice looking ship)

The Ship has Four heavy Turrets and twin Ion-cannons placed on the front along with a concussion missile launcher. The ship only has a single level. The bridge is small with only two seats for the pilot and captain, The turrets are located on the four corners of the ship with store rooms quarters and medical bays located down the central corridor that runs through the ship. The air-lock is at the rear of the ship next to the main engine room.

Position: Pilot

Name: Toolan Zamose

Nickname: Zam

Species: Zabrak

Sex: Male

Age: 24

Allignment: Neutral

Appearance: 6’ 3”, Athletic, unsharpened horns, and a cybernetic eye.

Weapons/Equipment: E1-11 Blaster Rifle, tool kit and the Chimera Crystal.

Bio: Zam’s family has been entrusted with a task for many generations, many millennia ago The Jedi were asked to protect an artefact of great importance, The Chimera crystal. Toolan’s grew up on an irodian farm where his family had lived 10 generations so they could hide from the Sith. He was always told about his heritage and how one day he will have to do as his ancestors have done for many years. But Toolan didn’t want this he wanted to explore the Stars.

 

He left his World at the young age of Sixteen after he had an arguement with his father about the Crystal. He stowed away on the first ship he saw by the name of Eclipse, While hiding in a crate he got hungry and broke out when he thought the crew would be asleep unfortunetly the captain was down there practicing her Blaster markmenship. While stareing down the barrel of her blaster Zam managed to blag his way out of being shot and got Reisa to not only let him stay on the ship but teach him to fly it.

 

While Working as a mercenary pilot he got a reputation of being both Cocky and a bit of a charmer with the ladies unfortunetly this led to him having a twi'Lek slave girl scratch out his eye. He Got a cybernetic eye put in place that goes over the top of the socket and looks like a large green light surrounged by metal. He often tells people that he lost his eye in a fight with five Trandoshans that he ended up winning.

 

On his travels on Eclipse his Parents died, the Empire had found the location of the Artefact and attacked the Farm. Fortunately his family managed to send the artefact to Toolan before they died and now he protects it.

 

How You were Recruited: He stowed away then blagged himself a position.

 

Relationships

Reisa Tarn- Zam and Reisa didn't get off in the best way (well being held at gunpoint isn't the best), but they have gotten over that hic-up and now are good friends. They have a close relationship with each other and are good friends, Reisa is the only person he has told about the crystal and Zam is perhaps the only one who knows her real age. She also knows about how he really lost his eye.

 

John Matthews- Zam gets on with John quite well they share similar interests and often play dejaric chess. They have also been known to go out to bars when they are given time off by Raze and drink until one of them passes out or goes off with a women.

 

Rita Kaiver- Zam secretly has a crush on the Rita, He dosen't know why but he's been attracted to her since she joined the crew. As they both share the love for adventure they often get on talking about things they've done and want to do.

 

Travis Harbrig- To say Zam doesn't like Ace would be an understatment, he hates him. Zam is capable of defending himself but unlike Travis he doesn't like violance although he will defend himself.

 

BiPHMA- It's a droid without emotion, Zam can't say he has any strong emotion either way.

 

Ulim 'Xeroree- As Ulim has a tendancy to watch Zam while he's flying, he can feel a little intimedated by the large alien. He often has to remind him that he's a good pilot (often in a cocky mannor), "I could thread this bird through the Eye of needle." Other than that Zam respects him for his obvious skill and honour.

________________________________

We can work out relationships between the crew later. This can be how crew members are related, married or old friends. The only one who can't have a previous relationship is the jedi.

 

Remember that your first Character Sheet does not have to be set in stone as relationships will change things.

[steven]

I'll be the engineer. i'll add my profile in a bit

[JasraLantill]

Position: Captain

Name: Reisa Tarn

Nickname: Raze (short for Razor)

Species: Human/Falleen (but appears outwardly human)

Sex:Female

Age:29 (at least that's what she tells people if they ask)

Allignment: Neutral (She's just trying to make a living.)

Appearance:Average human female height, slim build, long dark hair (but always worn in multiple thin braids)

Pic:http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f256/JasraLantill/86fad040.jpg

Prefers tight fitting cropped leather tanktop and leather pants (Krayt Dragon hide). Raze's father being Falleen, she has the ability to change her skin pigmentation from her normal pale cream to other colours, and the ability to secrete pheromones that can make her irresistible to the opposite sex. (Quite handy for getting what she wants, when she wants.) She also has an increased lung capacity than the average human.

 

Weapons/Equipment: 2 modified carbine duelling blasters, and a discreet razor sharp boot knife.

 

Bio:Estranged by her father’s people, and with her mother now dead, Raze took a job with a Corellian transport company as a security/turret gunner, but discovered (by accident--long story, she'll tell you later) that she had a natural talent in piloting ships. After a stint with the Separatists during the Clone Wars, Raze ‘acquired’ a ship (erm…ok, she stole the Carnage from Count Dooku after a failed attempt at blowing up a Republic relay station, but since he’s dead, he’s not going to come looking for it), which she renamed the Eclipse. Now that the Empire is in control, she travels the Galaxy, taking jobs as they come, and trying to keep a low profile.

 

Relationships:

John Matthews Raze knows quite a few spacers that frequent the main trade routes. One such person was a man named Ted, and his step-son, John. She once turned down a job, only because Ted needed one and he had a family to support. But the job turned sour when pirates attacked Ted's ship. Raze responded to Ted's distress call, but she was too late to save Ted from being crippled. Ted subsequently retired from the transport business. When Raze was contacted by John some years later, she felt obligated to employ him as a favour to his step-dad.

[steven]

Position:Engineer

 

Name:John Matthews

 

Nickname:Space Monkey

 

Species:Mandalorian/Human

 

Sex:Male

 

Age:26

 

Allignment:Light

 

Appearance:Click here

 

Weapons/Equipment:Engineering stuff, ZAT gun*

 

Bio:Born the Mandalorian homeworld of Mandalore, John grew up in the average Galactic Citizen manor, the old ways of the Mandalorian Warrior were hardly ever practiced if it was it was done by a small minority of idiots. His father owned a transport ship where John was taught by his father a few engineering skills. John never his birth father, instead he was raised by a man called Ted (funny name for a Mandalorian I know) who was all the father that John ever needed.

 

John had planned to join Ted in this job but the ship was struck but pirates and Ted nearly died. However during the process Ted lost his left hand. This gave Ted the best reason for retirement and settle down with John's mother. When John was 21, he left to start a life. For four years John seemed to disappear off the face of the earth but returned out of the blue. He contacted and old friend of his who went by the name of Reisa Tarn after he heard she had her hands on a ship and was recuited. She invited him on the ship, he accepted and that was that.

 

How you were recruited:He was personally invited by the Captain.

 

Relations:

Raze "I've known Raze for years. Infact she was the one who saved my father from the Pirates. After that we bumbed into each other several times after that but there was a large gap where we never made any form of contact, that was mainly my fault for personal reasons. However when I was in a spot of trouble and I had to lay low for a while, I was able to make contact with Raze who offerend an invertation onto her crew."

 

Zam "Me and old spikey get on pretty well. We share similar interests and he's well, much more techniqual than I am. I couldn't remember parts names to save my life. I'm much better with the part's apperance, their fuctions and their limitations. Anyways, back to Zam, like I said he has a fair knowledge in mechaniques expect this guy couldn't win a game dejaric chess to save his life. Also, I've noticed that he get's kinda nervious around Rita, I personally think he has a crush on her, but what do I know?"

 

SureShot "I would say that she was an odd nickname but then again people call me Space Monkey so I can't complain. She can be a bit on the loud side and argues quite alot with Raze, it was worse when she first came aboard, there was a point when I think I had to throw a stun grenade into the common room to shut them up."

 

Ace "You'd think me being the Mandalorian that I would be the aggresive one, oh no, that's Ace's job and quite frankily he's good at it. I have nothing personally against the guy, he's just not talkative and what he says makes you wanna punch it."

 

Bif "Now this droid is one fine peace of work. I've never seen a human replica droid before. Best bit, he looks almost life like...almost. I'd love to see how he's made, I can't help wonder but what's accutally inside of him. Is it wires, parts like an average droid, I haven't got the foggiest."

----------------------------------

*John's ZAT gun is a unquie blaster which an unquie effect. First shot stuns the target, second kills and the third vapourises the target.

[Writer]

Position: Turret gunner 1

Name: Rita Kaiver

Nickname: SureShot

Species: Human

Sex: Female

Age: 24

Allignment: Neutral

Appearance: Short, spiked black hair, pale blue eyes, 5' 6" tall, slender. She always has a sort of mischievous sparkle in her eyes, even when she isn't planning something outrageous.

Photo: Image: Rita Kaiver

Weapons/Equipment: twin blasters, both modified and quite small; one long knife, 20 in. blade

 

Bio: Rita Kaiver has always been an adventurous girl. When she was five, she wandered away from her mother on the streets of Corellia's capital, Coronet. Three days later, she returned to her family's apartment, full of stories and covered in grime. Though her parents gave her strong warnings against wandering away again, she was too daring to pay heed to their warnings for long.

 

At fifteen, Rita ran away from home and attempted to get a job on a cargo freighter. Furious when they turned her down, she returned home and demanded to be put through an elite combat training school. Her parents refused, so Rita began skipping school to work in a small restaurant. Two years later, she had enough money to fund the first year of her education at the combat school. After her first year there, her parents realized how determined she was to go through this and they financed her final three years.

 

Since her graduation, she's been taking odd jobs, mostly turret gunner positions on ships that need her. After a six month job ended in near disaster, Rita ended up back on Corellia, with enough pride intact that she wouldn't return to her parents. She worked in various restaurants for three months. Then, she met Raze.

 

Though Rita had been in many brawls with customers before (which usually resulted in Rita getting fired), Raze would be the only one she remembered after the fight. Raze had been exceptionally picky with her order and Rita had told her, in rather abrupt and rude language that "the establishment would not accommodate her delicate tastes" (to use the words of the apologetic chef. More what Rita said was, "[Alien profanity]! If you pick too many more ingredients out of that, you'll just be left with [string of alien words laced with profanity]!"). After a heated debate which ended in a short physical fight, Rita was fired and Raze left.

 

Nearly four months later, their paths crossed once more. Rita recognized Raze and refused to serve her. Harsh words were again exchanged in which Rita accused Raze of causing her to loose a job. Soon, both women were yelling as Raze wondered if Rita needed a job. Restaurant audio recorders picked up the exchange as follows:

 

Rita [screaming]: A job? Why the [alien profanity] would I need a job from you? I'm workin' ain't I?

 

Raze [also screaming]: Doesn't look like it to me. You any good with a turret?

 

Rita: Better than most. Why would you care?

 

Raze: You're hired!

 

Rita: Fine! *aside, to supervisor, still yelling* I quit!

 

The supervisor is reported to have had a complete mental breakdown and is currently in a mental institution, muttering incessantly about jobs, yelling, and somebody named Rita. She's been with the Eclipse for a year and the crew often teases her about her 'interview', hailing said interview as "the first ever interview to be mistaken for a barroom brawl!" Though their constant bickering might tell you otherwise, Rita and Raze have actually become relatively good friends.

[The Doctor]

I'll jump in as the medic. Give me a bit to hammer out a fresh character.

[ForceFightWMe12]

((Hm...I wonder if I can still manage to play a guy character... ))

 

Position: Turret Gunner 2(slash general handyman-type-dude)

 

Name: Travis Harbrig

 

Nickname: Ace

 

Species: Human (not too exciting...)

 

Sex: Male

 

Age: 27

 

Allignment: Give him a tint of red and he'll be happy -- he likes life on the edge

 

Appearance: http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a240/BastilaRevanforever/Renders/CabalOnline.png

 

Weapons/Equipment: Mandalorian heavy blaster on one hip, custome vibroblade on the other

 

Bio: Having a father who was a rather crummy, bottom-of-the-barrel bounty hunter, Travis didn't exactly have a pleasent childhood. His mother was almost constantly high, whether it be on spice or alcohol, his father always leaving early in the morning, not to return until the darkest hours of night. His family was dragged across the slummiest, backwater planets in the galaxy, following the pathetic jobs his father managed to scrounge up, then proceed to completely screw up. Finally, by the time he was 15, he had had enough. He took a slot in the first ship that crossed his path. He later hopped from ship to ship until finding his way into a gunner position on the Eclipse. He is also very good with his hands, enjoying modifying everything from blasters and vibroblades to droids to constructing spikes and mines. He's rather fond of violence, given his past, and can be known to have a fairly short temper.

 

Recruited: After quitting one of his many jobs, Raze and Travis met through a mutual smuggler friend by the name of Quilak Tong. Known for a good eye, Travis quickly took up position on the Eclipse as a gunner.

[The Doctor]

Here we go. Thanks to Jas for her help in getting started on it!

 

Position: Medic

 

Name: BiPedal Humanoid Medical Assistant

 

Nickname: BiPHMA, pronounced as Bifma. Usually referred to as simply 'Bif'.

 

Species: Experimental Medical Droid, model 623 Beta. First model to see active service.

 

Sex: None. Masculine personality.

 

Age: Activated approximately 3 standard years ago.

 

Allignment: Light.

 

Appearance: Startlingly human-like in appearance. 6'0", brown hair, metallic green eyes, caucassian skin with a slightly metalic sheen. Masculine features. Like this.

 

Weapons/Equipment: This unit is unarmed.

 

Bio: First conceived by doctor Vitora Nethar, a human cyberneticist at the Republic Science Directorate approximately 28 standard years ago. Designed as a termporary replacement medical officer in an emergency situation, BiPHMA is programmed with the collective medical knowledge of every Republic world, as well as the medical practices of thousands of non-member worlds, in addition to ancient medical techniques not widely used in modern times. He is also programmed with the ability to learn and adapt his programming, expanding upon his knowledge based on his own experiences. His positronic brain allows him impressive computational capabilities and the ability to perform most human activities. However, he has ongoing difficulties understanding various aspects of human behavior and is unable to feel emotions.

 

Specifications: Weighing 100 kilograms, BiPHMA is composed of 24.6 kg of tripolymer composites, 11.8 kg of molybdenum–cobalt alloys, and 1.3 kg of bioplast sheeting. BiPHMA's upper spinal support is a polyalloy designed for extreme stress; his skull is composed of cortenide and duranium. BiPHMA was built with an ultimate storage capacity of 800 quadrillion bits (approximately 88.8 petabytes or 93 million gigabytes). At the onset, BiPHMA was constructed with a total linear computational speed rated at 60 trillion operations per second. However, through bidirectional sequencing (which compensates for signal degradation) and conversion of his main interlink sequencer to asynchronous operation, BiPHMA's computational speed was later no longer limited by the physical separation of his positronic links and, thus, became effectively unlimited. BiPHMA's storage capacity is at least 17 times that of the largest Imperial starships.

 

How you were recruited: BiPHMA was 'aqcuired' by Travis Harbrig almost a year ago. Given his lifestyle, Travis has had inadequate time to fully reprogram BiPHMA - though he has been able to reprogram him so that he no longer insists upon being referred to by his full name, and now responds to simply 'Bif'. Given the complex nature of his programming, it is unlikely that Travis will be able to reprogram BiPHMA to the extent that he would like.

[Writer]

Edited Rita's bio to include how she was recruited. Also added a picture (and I must brag about the pic... in the original, she had brown hair and grayish eyes. Ah, Photoshop, how I love thee )

[starmark2k]

OK I edited my Character sheet so it's alot more detailed than before. I see People have already begun on working on relationships so i'll open it officially now. We can do this while we wait for a Third turret gunner.

 

So i would like my guy to hate someone just to add some real tension in the ship, they should insult and belittle each other all the time. I'm also willing to listen to any suggestion with my chars relationship with yours.

[ForceFightWMe12]

Me me me me me!!! Oooh! Pick meeeee!

 

It's always so fun being a jerk

[starmark2k]

O.K, O.K... Zam hates Travis. I also changed my Bio again so It incorporates something me and Jasra discussed. So i'm going to do what i did on the second MC and do what Zam thinks of all the characters.(most of this is also requests to people i haven't discussed this topic with let.)

 

Reisa Tarn- Zam and Reisa didn't get off in the best way (well being held at gunpoint isn't the best), but they have gotten over that hic-up and now are good friends. They have a close relationship with each other and are good friends, Reisa is the only person he has told about the crystal and Zam is perhaps the only one who knows her real age. She also knows about how he really lost his eye.

 

John Matthews(request)- Zam gets on with John quite well they share similar interests and often play dejaric chess. They have also been known to go out to bars when they are given time off by Raze and drink until one of them passes out or goes off with a women.

 

Rita Kaiver(request)- Zam secretly has a crush on the Rita, He dosen't know why but he's been attracted to her since she joined the crew. As they both share the love for adventure they often get on talking about things they've done and want to do.

 

Travis Harbrig- To say Zam doesn't like Ace would be an understatment, he hates him. Zam is capable of defending himself but unlike Travis he doesn't like violance although he will defend himself.

 

BiPHMA- It's a droid without emotion, Zam can't say he has any strong emotion either way.

 

Ulim 'Xeroree- As Ulim has a tendancy to watch Zam while he's flying, he can feel a little intimedated by the large alien. He often has to remind him that he's a good pilot (often in a cocky mannor), "I could thread this bird through the Eye of needle." Other than that Zam respects him for his obvious skill and honour.

[Writer]

Reisa Tarn- Both with quick tempers, Raze and Rita are well known for their constant bickering. Even when they don't disagree, it's almost as if they feel obligated to argue about everything. This habit has been extremely beneficial when bartering with local merchants.

 

John Matthews- "The mechanic?" Rita clarifies. "Well, he's nice enough, I suppose. Damn good at his job. Grumbles a bit when I break the sim... again. I guess I can't say I know much about him. We really don't have too much in common, so we don't talk much... unless I'm teasing him about various mechanical things..."

 

Toolan Zamose- Rita finds it extremely easy to talk to Zam. She figures it's partially because of the similar interests in adventure and danger they share. She knows he's attracted to her, but she is fiercely independent and therefore unwilling to enter into any form of relationship other than friendship.

 

Travis Harbrig- Rita views 'Ace' Harbrig as competition. As both are turret gunners, they often compare their kill counts and challenge one another to simulated dogfights. In addition to this constant competition between them, they both have rather short tempers, which occasionally prompts heated verbal arguments. Despite their word battles, Rita would never say she hates Ace... "Oh, not at all!" she'd answer if asked. "He's damn good at his job... just a bit o' semi-friendly competition, that's what we've got."

 

BiPHMA- Bif's remarkably 'human' appearance frequently causes Rita to forget that he isn't one, which tends to set off her temper at some of his more 'droidlike' tendencies. And given her desire for danger, Rita is forced to 'visit' Bif more often than she'd like to admit, whether it's for smaller scrapes or broken bones.

 

Ulim 'Xeroree- Rita doesn't really know what to think of Ulim. Given his age, she sometimes refers to him as 'Old One', but he's an efficient gunner. Given his position on the crew, it might be assumed that she has a rivalry with him as well, but this is not the case. "Ulim's good at what he does, don't get me wrong," Rita says, "but since he doesn't talk much to me, it's a little difficult to... rival, I guess..." Her eyes narrow. "But Ace..."

 

*And she walks away, muttering.*

[Rexraptor2000]

Position: Turret Gunner 3

 

Name: Ulim 'Xeroree

 

Nickname: 'Split-Lip' (Don't say that to his face EVER)

 

Species: Sangheili

 

Sex: Male

 

Age: 70 human years

 

Allignment: Neutral

 

Appearance: Black Armor, 8 ft tall, green eyes, missing one of his four fingers on his left hand.

 

Weapons/Equipment: Plasma Sword (Seen in pic), Thermal Detenators, Republic Beam Rifle, Heavy Repeating Blaster Rifle.

 

Bio: His homeworld was one of the worlds that joined the Seperatist cause at the beginning of the Clone Wars at the sight of the Corruption of the Senate. He was 48 human years old at the time. His species was mainly used as special forces units in the Confederacy and also for breaking the stone walled line in major battles. After the end of the Clone Wars, his species was enslaved and used for the building of the Death Star due to their physical strenth, as the would never serve under the Empire willingly due to their beliefs. Ulim was one of the ones who managed to escape the enslavement, but has never quite forgiven himself for not being able to do anything about his species enslavement. He since took job as an expert bounty hunter due to his experiance from the war. He is very new to the crew and is still learning about them. He can forget names at times so he'll call people by the name of their species and sometimes gender such as "Human" or "Twi'lek female" if he doesn't remember their name. He has a stong sense of honor and for a bounty hunter, he has a lot more friends then the average gun.

 

How you were recruited: He was on the market (figurative speech) and happened to be hired Raze. Or more say, had to persuade Raze since the bounties at the time were limited to dishonorable jobs.

 

Relationships:

 

Reisa ‘Raze’ Tarn: He gets paid by her, and kills anything that threatans her safety for the most part since she is the one paying him.

 

Toolan ‘Zam’ Zamose: Ulim does not trust cocky pilots simply because he's known a few that have nearly, or have, gotten themselves and their crews killed. He likes to be near the bridge to make sure that he's flying things safe.

 

John 'Space Monkey' Matthews: Knows he exists but generally doesn't care to get to know him or talk to him.

 

Rita 'SureShot' Kaiver: He likes Rita's personallity, though doesn't generally talk to her due to her instinct to fight at every turn.

 

Travis 'Ace' Harbrig: He likes Travis's love of a fight, but dislikes his short temper, and has to remind himself that Travis is still young. He would still enjoy putting Travis through a Sangheili 'boot camp' though.

 

BiPHMA 'Bif': He actually prefers the driod's conversation a lot of times to others due to his time in the Confederacy. He enjoys telling the driod about things, though he is sometimes as clueless as the driod sometimes about human nature.

[steven]

Don't you think that the Ecilpse crew should have a certain nemesis/villan?

[starmark2k]

Well the Emperor has sent an agent to find the Chimera crystal so that could be him.

[steven]

Could be. Gonna share what the Chimera crystal is?

[starmark2k]

OK I was saving it for the RP but Heres the story while we wait for the Relationships and timeline to be finished.

 

4,400 years before the battle of Yavin a group of Jedi ceded from the order and choose to follow the ways of darkness. The Dark Jedi then sought to kill alll their former masters and take control of the republic. They failed in this task as a Mandalore from corellia managed to kill their leader. In Gratitude the Jedi found a rare Lightsabre crystal and enfused it with the power of the force so whoever possesed the crystal would be granted abilities to control the force.

 

Unfortunetly such power is not meant to weild by some and it began to corrupt the once good soldier. He began to attack the jedi slaying them and discovered the crystals other ability, it absorbed the force from those they killed. The Mandalorian killed many jedi before he returned to his home world with the intent to take the throne from Mandalore. He failed as Mandalore was no fool and set a trap for him on Mandalore V (or IV which ever was in the game) which killed him, the Crystal was somehow lost under the protection of the mandalorians.

 

It resurfaced during the mandalorian war when a Republic soldier found it during the final battle, The Jedi heard about its resurface and sent a Ex-Jedi mercenary to retreive it during the rise of Darth Revan. Unfortunetly 2 more mercenaries a Mandalorian and Zabrak also went after it as well as Revens dark jedi. After Revans men were defeated the Zabrak mercenary relised it had to be hidden from the Sith and took it to his homeworld where he gave it to a childhood friend by the name of Zamose.

((Ok, finally got the relationship thing going here...))

 

I got myself a ship, the Eclipse, but it’s been hell to get a crew. Or rather, the right crew. Sure, I’ve had plenty of pilots, gunners, medics, hired muscle, and GBPs (general purpose bodies) over the years. Even had a Wookie on board for a while. (Big mistake. Five years later and I still can’t get the smell out of the aft crew cabin.)

But I’m working on it. Got a pretty good group at the moment--

 

My pilot, Toolan Zamose. Zam for short, though. Little Zabrak bugcrawler tried to stow away on my ship a few years back. But, even though he was staring down the barrel of my blaster, he kept his cool. Even came up with a semi-plausible excuse as to why he had stowed aboard. Very nearly made me crack a smile. Told him he could stay, but if he didn’t make himself useful I was going to flush him out the airlock with the next load of garbage. The kid managed to recycle everything for a month. Now that’s thinking outside the box. Seemed to have a bit of ‘space sense’ so I figured I’d train the kid as a backup pilot. Turned out he was a natural. Much better pilot than I’ll ever be, and seems to get better all the time. Wouldn’t flush him out the airlock now for love or money. And I trust him, which is important when you’re out in the black, especially these days with the Imps cracking down on hard on the Rim systems. He’s got secrets, but don’t we all. Trouble is, his secrets aren’t entirely his own.

 

My mechanic, John Matthews. Another one of my charity cases. Knew the kid’s step-father, Ted. Good guy—hard-working, loyal to his friends, always willing to lend a hand—all pretty rare traits for a spacer these days. I once turned down a really lucrative job, just so Ted could have it. Figured with a wife and kid, he needed the credits more than I did. Big mistake. Huge. Not only was his ship attacked by pirates, but when I responded to his distress call, my over-zealous Wookie gunner hits Ted’s ship by mistake. Idiot. Ted nearly died and even lost a hand. Ended up he had to quit being a spacer altogether. Tough break. Good news was the pirates fared a lot worse then he did. All that was left of them was debris and some space dust. Bad news was I felt sort of responsible for the whole thing. Guilt has got to be the absolute worst emotion out of all of them. Guilt and I kept in contact with Ted over the years. Even sent him and his kid some creds every now and again. So, one day I get this message from the kid. Ran into some trouble and he needs a lift and a job. So Guilt and I gave him one. Thought I was getting just another GPB, but as it turned out, he’s a pretty good mechanic. Think I’ll keep him.

 

Turret Gunner Rita 'SureShot' Kaiver. Now there’s a live one. Corellian and female. That should have been warning enough for me to steer clear of her. Met her when she was working as a waitress at a restaurant in the Blue Sector of Coronet City. That should have been my second clue she was trouble. Coronet City—the Jewel of Corellia, the natives call it. Hutts call their homeworld the Glorious Jewel. Why is it when a city has ‘Jewel’ attached to its name, it turns out to be a flawed stone? Anyway, she serves me this food, or at least that’s what it was supposed to be. I complained, she got angry, words were exchanged (and not very nice words, either), and she ends up getting fired on the spot. But four months later, I’m back on Corellia and I meet her again—different restaurant, same fired-up waitress. Lucky me. Launches into me before she’d even given me the chance to look at the menu, let alone order any food. Sort of a pre-emptive strike, one might say. Starts screaming how it was my fault she lost her crappy job, followed by a string of Old Corellian profanity. I didn’t realise the language was so… bland. So, I enlightened her to some more colourful Falleen phrases of a similar nature. That didn’t go over so well with her. Or her supervisor. Not. At. All. Damn girl got herself fired again. And then, in the middle of a screaming match with the supervisor playing the part of ring referee, a truly horrible thing happened. I offered her a job as a turret gunner. Must have been temporarily insane. Either that or it was Guilt working behind the scenes again. Either way, I’m stuck with her now. But, turns out she's a lot better at shooting things than serving things. And it’s sometimes handy to have someone able to curse in a semi-dead language like Old Corellian. Gives us that little bit of class in a scuffle.

 

Turret Gunner Travis Harbrig. The Ace. The only one of my crew that I actually recruited. Note to self: Never. Drink. That. Much. Again. Me and John ‘discovered’ him through Quilak Tong, a long time smuggler and friend of mine. Correction. Ex-friend, of mine. Not that Travis is a bad gunner. Quite the contrary. He’s superb. Excellent marksman. Great brawler, too. Skilled with weapon mods, computers, and all sorts of repairs. Trouble is, none of the crew particularly likes him. And, Zam outright hates him. A lot. And that sometimes causes big problems on a small ship like mine. I’d consider letting him go for that reason alone, except, along with his ‘sparkling personality,’ he brought along a very unique asset. A droid. A very unique droid. A very unique medical droid.

 

BiPHMA Bi-Pedal Humanoid Medical Assistant, or ‘Bif’ as he prefers to be called. Why a droid was ever created with ‘preferences’ in his programming, I’ll never know. But someone gave him an extensive library of medical knowledge. He must have been created during the time of the Republic, because his knowledge extends to a plethora of non-human species. And everyone who is remotely non-human knows that the Empire isn’t that accommodating when it comes to other species. Comes in handy for us though—with me being half-Falleen, Zam a Zabrak, and a Sangheili on board…

 

Turret Gunner Ulim 'Xeroree. The Sangheili. Now, I’ve been around the Galaxy for a few years now, and I’ve never actually met one before I met Ulim. Interesting specimen, though he’s a bit angry, even for a former bounty hunter. It’s no wonder really, with his entire race enslaved to work for the Empire as labourers. I’d be a bit angry, too. He mentioned that he was conscripted as a labour for the Empire’s Death Star project. Wonder how he felt when it was destroyed? I’m curious, but I’d never ask him as it’s most likely a personal honour issue. And his species is really big on honour. I mean, really big. Again, it’s no wonder he’s angry and took up bounty hunting. Anyway, after listening to him tell his sad tale over a couple of Corellian Ales, he mentioned he was out of work. Rare to find a bounty hunter with a such a strict honour code. No wonder he was unemployed. Guilt was on hiatus that week, so Sympathy took his place. And hired him.

We just need the Timeline and relationships from Force and Doc... Then we can begin with the fun and games.
