Full Name, with all titles included: Colleen Matthews. Status: Sigma Shipyards Employee. Species: Human. Race: Caucasian. Home Planet: Wolf 359. Age: 26. Sex: Female. Height: 5' 7". Weight: 146 pounds. Skin Color: Tan. Eye Color: Blue. Hair Color: Brown. Weapons Used: A pistol. Skills: Trading, haggling, basic combat, piloting. Personality: Colleen tries to be optimistic about most small bad things that happen, but when an immediate emergency shows up she tends to act more seriously, and even slightly nervous. She is an untidy person, and if you look at the inside of her ship, then it really shows. Ship(s): "Eclipse", a starbridge. Armored Accesories: Clothing. History: Colleen came from a lower-middle class family on a station in orbit around the star Wolf 359. Her childhood was spent having fun with the local boys, running around the station, hiding in the nooks and crannies and exploring the spaces between the walls of the station. In school, she was less than academically successful. With a letter grade average of B, progressing to B minus by the time she was in high school, it seemed unlikely that she would amount to much in the world. However, she seemed to understand how ships worked fairly well, even if others showed it more. This may have been because of her time wandering around the space station, or it could have just been a knack for that sort of thing. She was accepted into a minor college elsewhere in the system, where she managed to gain a degree. After working for some time at a store, she happened upon a drunk starship captain who sold her his less-than-capable starbridge. Knowing a way off of the planet when she saw one, she kept the starbridge. After a few years of saving up her money, she managed to afford repairs to the ship, rendering it flyable. However, it was still not the very best of all ships out there. Nevertheless, she began traveling the space lanes, making a name for herself. An official in Sigma Shipyards noticed her and asked her to sign on with them. Eager to allow herself a better chance in the universe, she accepted the offer. They refurbished her ship back to a similar condition as if it had just rolled off the production line, and she began the real start of her career. Light Capital Class S-25 Starbridge  (1024x768) The Starbridge is a relatively new concept in ship design, in a Federation where ancient traditions are the rule. This vessel channels power straight from a Thorium Nuclear Furnace into its large impulse drives, bypassing life-support and even jump engines. Ancillary power is then provided by turbines mounted behind the engines. This design provides very accurate control of thrust, and great power in normal space. The single drawback is that the turbines must be very strong, pushing the price up by a large margin. Starbridges are a pleasure to have. They perform admirably as freighters, sports ships, or even small warships if outfitted correctly. They only require a single person to fly the ship, although another person is recommended to handle engineering and fixing up the ship. Under the control of an experienced pilot, a Starbridge is an awesome sight. |

Full Name, with all titles included: Drakershra. Status: Leading Xorian Raider. Species: Xorian Raider. Race: Warrior Caste. Home Planet: Xoria. Age: One year old. Sex: Male. Height: Around a foot high and three feet long. Weight: 41 pounds. Skin Color: Black. Eye Color: White. Weapons Used: Claws and a built-in particle gun. Skills: Killing, strategy, hiding, being very, very quick... Personality: As Drakershra is a part of the hive mind, he doesn't feel certain emotions, such as love, sympathy and several others. However, time to himself where he has not been under the hive mind's control has allowed him to develop other emotions such as his sense of humor and a sense of fun. Ship(s): A Xorian elite fighter. Armored Accesories: His carapace. History: Drakershra was born several years after the Xorians first became active. He spent his first few months doing petty jobs for the hive mind before being ordered to train young Xorians in the field. He got Kraven, whom he despised. Drakershra would not hesitate to bring up Kraven's relative cowardliness at almost any time, and when he slashed Kraven open at a raid of a museum, he unwittingly made a major historical event happen, as later Kraven was shunned from the hive mind. Kraven survived, however. Drakershra has the distinction of being the longest-lived Xorian of the warrior caste at this time. He is a notorious pirate, capable of darting in with his wing, getting valuables and leaving before the bounty hunters or feds show up. He is one of the fastest, smartest and most cunning Xorians currently alive. Also in his wing are Verasor, another newbie Xorian born at around the same time as Kraven, and Obarskyr, a very strong and rather large Xorian. The small, black creature in front of you looks vaguely insectoid, but this is only because of his carapace. The resemblance ends there, as he has four legs, each sporting three-toed claws and a fourth, thumb-like claw. He has a three-segmented tail and a round body. His head is also round, with no visible mouth. His eyes are totally white except for his pupils. His lower leg segments have pointed edges that look very sharp. Beneath him are two small arms fused with a capsule-shaped gun. Edited by Scout, Jan 8 2008, 03:48 PM.

Full Name, with all titles included: Aana Ryys Kan. Status: Zaan Trader. Species: Zaan. Race: Aana sect. Home Planet: Gathay. Age: 11. Sex: Male. Height: Half a foot high, but two feet long. Weight: 12 lbs. Hair Color: N/A. Skin Color: Tarnished brown-bronze. Eye Color: Yellow. Weapons Used: None. Skills: Piloting, navigation, trading, running away very, very quickly. Personality: Like most Zaan, Ryys is very skittish and quick to panic. However, he has overcome enough of his skittishness to be able to venture outside of Gathay, which is indeed a large feat for any Zaan. He is also a curious individual, but in a very cautious sort of way. Ship(s): A light Zaan freighter. Armored Accessories: Ryys' back carapace is quite strong, but his underbelly is comparatively soft and vulnerable. History: Ryys was seven when the Zalamath discovered Gathay. This is six years past maturity for a Zaan. He was at first very scared of them, like the rest of the Zaan, but over the next few months they became just another new thing to him. Since the Zalamath constructed a jump gate in the Gathay system, Ryys was able to leave Gathay in his freighter. Now he's poking his nose around the Galactic Federation, like a couple of other Zaan, to see what the rest of the universe is like. Edited by Scout, Jan 9 2008, 05:10 PM.

Full Name, with all titles included: Commander Khalil Soban-Paktu. Status: Exploratory fleet commander. Species: Human. Race: Kushan. Home Planet: Kharak. Age: 28. Sex: Male. Height: 5' 8". Weight: 166 pounds. Skin Color: Tan. Eye Color: Blue-grey. Hair Color: Brown. Weapons Used: Khalil doesn't use weapons. Jeez, what do you think he is, a spartan? Skills: Tactics, discipline, ship-to-ship combat, piloting. Personality: Khalil is seen as a fairly easy man to talk to. He can normally relate with most things a person says, and is fairly understanding. He can be strict when it comes to giving orders, though, and on the bridge he almost seems to become emotionless as he commands the fleet. Ship(s): A kushan carrier. Any fighter or corvette on the carrier is also his for the taking. Armored Accessories: Clothing. Duh. History: Khalil was born while the mothership was still in the progress of being constructed, before Karan S'jet was integrated with it as Fleet Command. Having been born of the union of both the Soban and Paktu families, it was unsure of which kiith would lay claim to him. In the end, it was decided that neither kiith would lay claim to him, and that he would bear the title of both kiithid. He was instructed how to operate bridge controls on board capital ships when he grew older, and by the time the Mothership was ready for launch he had a place among the fighter pilots in the original wing of seven scouts. His first real combat test came very soon afterward when the Turanic Raiders assaulted the Mothership. He managed to stay alive throughout the battle, and was switched to a heavy corvette by the time that the Mothership was en route to Kharak once again. Once again, he proved himself by bringing down the assault frigates that were attacking the cryo trays. His family had been on board one of the cryo trays, and he took great satisfaction in that tray being successfully extracted and moved into the Mothership's own cryogenic bays. He was given the honor of commanding one of the original assault frigates constructed on board the Mothership. Eventually, months after the Mothership had left Kharak, he was promoted to being the captain of a carrier. In the time before then, he had been on board a destroyer. He played a crucial role in the final battle above Hiigara, where Fleet Command was ill. His portion of the fleet managed to help diverge the Taiidani forces from the Mothership, and in the end he managed to assist Captain Elson in destroying the imperial gene bank. Khalil was among the last Kushan to touch down on Hiigara, save Fleet Command. His carrier was no longer needed to assist the Mothership, even if the Kushan still needed to defend their borders from the remnants of the Taiidani and Turanic Raiders. He went on a mission to map the unexplored areas of the galaxy, and even beyond. His carrier was outfitted with a far-jump hyperspace engine, and he left Hiigara. It should be noted that even after the Homeworld War, when a multitude of vessels, including the light corvette, scout and heavy corvette were retired, Khalil's fleet continued to use and even construct these ships. |

Full Name, with all titles included: Nicole Hayes. Status: Bounty Hunter. Species: Human. Race: Caucasian. Home Planet: Earth. Age: 24. Sex: Female. Height: 5’9” Weight: 152 lbs. Physical Description:  Unless you like a clearer picture. Weapons Used: Two pistols and a sniper rifle. Skills: Sniping, covert operations, streetwise, urban tracking and investigations, gunfighting, intimidation, diplomacy and bluffing. Personality: Nicole is a very honorable person, and unless exposed to extreme duress she will likely not betray those that she trusts or is employed by. To those that do not know her very well, she is suspicious and harsh. Even among those few that she trusts, she is fairly reserved. She is very calculating, and she rarely performs any extreme actions without first planning what she is going to do, particularly when doing jobs. She is willing to use unorthodox methods to achieve her goals. Above all, she does not like to see the law broken without punishment. Ship(s): A heavy fighter. Armored Accessories: A carbon nanotube jumpsuit. History: Nicole was born on Earth. She lived in an area with a high crime rate, and this carried over into the rest of her life, as her house was constantly being robbed and her school was plentiful with bullies. Her parents were not rich enough to move to a different district. Despite all of this, she was brought up with the best of intentions, so that she would not become a drug-dealing mass-murdering bank robber like the rest of the youth from the area. It worked fairly well. Nicole wanted to go to college in order to complete her education, but her parents could not afford it, and she couldn't get any decent jobs in her area, so she joined the military for a short time, where she acquired the funds for college, in addition to receiving her training in discipline and weaponry. This enabled her to go to college. Shortly after she left college, she managed to start a small online business which gave her a steady income. Once she had sufficient resources, she began doing jobs as a bounty hunter, fulfilling a sort of sense of justice that she had acquired when she was younger. She joined the Bounty Hunter's Guild, where she honed her skills as a sniper. She now does jobs on a regular basis. Edited by Scout, Dec 11 2008, 11:03 PM.
