Born in space between Jinx and Tarsus, Bette is the daughter of Harald Noire, an Imperial scout, and
Deva Des Plaines Ault, a famous grav dancer from Lilith in the Beyond. Bette early became enamored
of piracy listening to the stories of her uncles.
Her mother's connections through a series of patrons gained Bette entrance to the Naval Academy on
Regina/Regina which she graduated with honors. A natural gift for piloting spacecraft earned a spot
on active border patrol in fighters in which see earned the CSR. Promoted to Lt. Commander, she rose
to command of a Gazelle class close escort, patrolling the Five Sisters subsector. In 1104 she was made
a knight of the Order of the Knights of March by Duke Norris after her capture of a Sworld World
smuggler exposed a Sworld World/SORAG operation. She also served in the 5th Frontier
War,Courtmartialled after a bar fight in 1111(in which she took the side of an Aslan artillery officer
against her fellow officers including her commander), Bette chose to resign from the navy, taking her
ship with her(Ironically one day before a x-boat delivered her promotion to full commander & a
transfer to Jewel.)..
Now eleven years later, Bette is respected member of Dark Goddesses, but has fallen on hard times.
Captured by Trelyn Domain in the aftermath of the last Esylat/Trelyn war she has recently escaped
and reclaimed her ship, the Deia Trias. Her command is now a shadow of what it was, with several
followers dead or left for other ventures.
Her current whereabouts is an abandoned scout base, recently inherited from a grandmother which
she is utilizing as a secret hideout while she rebuilds her coterie.
A romantic figure who wears retro-18th century earth pirate clothing over flex armour, a high tech
cutlass and twin laser pistols shaped like ancient flintlock pistols tucked into her waist sash, Bette is
nevertheless a cool, efficient pirate who generous with friends and short with enemies. Bette's
personal tragedy is though she's had many lovers, the only man she truly loves is Gabrielle Chang
Roth, a trader captain. Gabrielle broke off their relationship when he discovered Bette's complicity in
several pirate attacks. Despite this, he has never passed this info onto the authorities, much to Bette's
amazement. When operating openly she wears Zhodani noble armour (captured in the 5th Frontier
War) or Lilithian TL15 battledress , operating covertly she favors Imperial marine armour. Though
tested as a powerful latent psi, she deigns to train this talent for the same reason she doesn't
use her Lilithian heightened pheromones. She feels both would cause to become lazy & lose the
mental edge she's always relied upon. However, as part of her mikuum traing as a child revolved
around psionic rituals, her latent psi abilities could blossom in a crisis. Her favorite drink is rum, &
she has controlling interest in a retro-Solomani brand of rum depicting a historical pirate(herself,
actually), called Captain Noire.
Her family motto, adopted when knighted is "Live Dangerously", & she lives up to it.
My wife's imput on Bette:, image a younger Lauren Bacall speaking Errol Flynn's lines in the movie
'Captain Blood' & you get a little idea of the character.

arm. Deron, having a rare condition not allowing transplants and regenerative drugs was paid off by
Hyperion on a disability pension. Eventually getting cybernetic replacements, he was still

Bette bent the rules and hired him on. Eventually he rose to third in command. When Bette was
captured, he followed orders and led 7 members of the crew to safety. Hearing of Bette's death
(incorrectly), he accepted an offer from Webrunners to join up, now commanding a 600 ton
converted trader, the Maladroit Jest. Secretly in love with Bette, he was crushed by her death &
eventually accepted the proposal of one of his former shipmates.

non-Poicxh of lower station. The P'Tor Kip (a 400 ton far trader)has no permanent base, using

6'6" tall, short cut black hair and neatly trimmed beard. Scar on left cheek.
Tanned and saturnine, Captain Mckimmon of the 'MIstress of Pain' looks every bit the ruthless
corsair he is. An ex-Imperial naval officer cashiered for theft and extortion. During the Fifth Frontier
War he led a mixed human/Vargyr band raiding the Imperium. Captured by the Imperial Navy, he
was given the choice of long imprisonment or leading a corsair band in the Librety Hall subsector as
part of Darkling orb. After playing ball for two years, McKimmon turned on his Imperial handlers &
fled to St, Foy.
His nickname of 'Black Dog' stems from his being one of the few humans to lead a Vargyr corsair
band. An independent with a squadron of 3 corsairs, McKimmon divides his time between terrorizing
the Beyond and Trojan Reaches and seeking out ancient artifacts.
To the latter end it's rumored that he keeps a ancients scholar sequestered upon the Mistress. A uncle
of Bette Noire by a different mother, he pursues his half-brothers in search of a secret they hold. So
far he has killed two of his half-brothers, Harald & Renee. He also has an abiding hatred of Droyne.
With his niece Bette Noire, he has a enamoured fascination with her, even Bette has sworn to kill him.
Besides the 800 ton corsair MIstress, his other two ships are the 400 ton corsair Princess Corthh
(Capt. Qulession) & the 600 ton corsair Marhax (Capt. Marhax). Both captains would follow
Mckimmon into hell . The name was inspired by the pirate 'Black Dog' from 'Treasure Island'. The
personality comes from 'Angeleyes' Lee van Cleef's amoral killer from 'The Good, the Bad & the Ugly.'
His & Bette's relationship has grown over the years, especially after watching 'Cutthroat Island',
since their relationship similar to 'Dog' Brown & Morgan. However, unlike Morgan, Bette isn't afraid
of Douglas.

Born in space between Jinx and Tarsus, Bette is the daughter of Harald Noire, an Imperial scout, and
Deva Des Plaines Ault, a famous grav dancer from Lilith in the Beyond. Bette early became enamored
of piracy listening to the stories of her uncles.
Her mother's connections through a series of patrons gained Bette entrance to the Naval Academy on
Regina/Regina which she graduated with honors. A natural gift for piloting spacecraft earned a spot
on active border patrol in fighters in which see earned the CSR. Promoted to Lt. Commander, she rose
to command of a Gazelle class close escort, patrolling the Five Sisters subsector. In 1104 she was made
a knight of the Order of the Knights of March by Duke Norris after her capture of a Sworld World
smuggler exposed a Sworld World/SORAG operation. She also served in the 5th Frontier
War,Courtmartialled after a bar fight in 1111(in which she took the side of an Aslan artillery officer
against her fellow officers including her commander), Bette chose to resign from the navy, taking her
ship with her(Ironically one day before a x-boat delivered her promotion to full commander & a
transfer to Jewel.)..
Now eleven years later, Bette is respected member of Dark Goddesses, but has fallen on hard times.
Captured by Trelyn Domain in the aftermath of the last Esylat/Trelyn war she has recently escaped
and reclaimed her ship, the Deia Trias. Her command is now a shadow of what it was, with several
followers dead or left for other ventures.
Her current whereabouts is an abandoned scout base, recently inherited from a grandmother which
she is utilizing as a secret hideout while she rebuilds her coterie.
A romantic figure who wears retro-18th century earth pirate clothing over flex armour, a high tech
cutlass and twin laser pistols shaped like ancient flintlock pistols tucked into her waist sash, Bette is
nevertheless a cool, efficient pirate who generous with friends and short with enemies. Bette's
personal tragedy is though she's had many lovers, the only man she truly loves is Gabrielle Chang
Roth, a trader captain. Gabrielle broke off their relationship when he discovered Bette's complicity in
several pirate attacks. Despite this, he has never passed this info onto the authorities, much to Bette's
amazement. When operating openly she wears Zhodani noble armour (captured in the 5th Frontier
War) or Lilithian TL15 battledress , operating covertly she favors Imperial marine armour. Though
tested as a powerful latent psi, she deigns to train this talent for the same reason she doesn't
use her Lilithian heightened pheromones. She feels both would cause to become lazy & lose the
mental edge she's always relied upon. However, as part of her mikuum traing as a child revolved
around psionic rituals, her latent psi abilities could blossom in a crisis. Her favorite drink is rum, &
she has controlling interest in a retro-Solomani brand of rum depicting a historical pirate(herself,
actually), called Captain Noire.
Her family motto, adopted when knighted is "Live Dangerously", & she lives up to it.
My wife's imput on Bette:, image a younger Lauren Bacall speaking Errol Flynn's lines in the movie
'Captain Blood' & you get a little idea of the character.

Tanned and saturnine, Captain Mckimmon of the 'MIstress of Pain' looks every bit the ruthless
corsair he is. An ex-Imperial naval officer cashiered for theft and extortion. During the Fifth Frontier
War he led a mixed human/Vargyr band raiding the Imperium. Captured by the Imperial Navy, he
was given the choice of long imprisonment or leading a corsair band in the Librety Hall subsector as
part of Darkling orb. After playing ball for two years, McKimmon turned on his Imperial handlers &
fled to St, Foy.
His nickname of 'Black Dog' stems from his being one of the few humans to lead a Vargyr corsair
band. An independent with a squadron of 3 corsairs, McKimmon divides his time between terrorizing
the Beyond and Trojan Reaches and seeking out ancient artifacts.
To the latter end it's rumored that he keeps a ancients scholar sequestered upon the Mistress. A uncle
of Bette Noire by a different mother, he pursues his half-brothers in search of a secret they hold. So
far he has killed two of his half-brothers, Harald & Renee. He also has an abiding hatred of Droyne.
With his niece Bette Noire, he has a enamoured fascination with her, even Bette has sworn to kill him.
Besides the 800 ton corsair MIstress, his other two ships are the 400 ton corsair Princess Corthh
(Capt. Qulession) & the 600 ton corsair Marhax (Capt. Marhax). Both captains would follow
Mckimmon into hell . The name was inspired by the pirate 'Black Dog' from 'Treasure Island'. The
personality comes from 'Angeleyes' Lee van Cleef's amoral killer from 'The Good, the Bad & the Ugly.'
His & Bette's relationship has grown over the years, especially after watching 'Cutthroat Island',
since their relationship similar to 'Dog' Brown & Morgan. However, unlike Morgan, Bette isn't afraid

Known as the laughing killer, Vakhra is the granddaughter of a an Eshenili Elder, Vakhra had a promising career until her addiction
to Marttylla resulted in the death of a client she was guarding.
Forced to retire, shehas lived by guarding patrons she would have loathed in heryounger days. The positive side to this is that she has
gained a grip on her addiction, rarely indulging except between clients or on leave. Her last commission for a slaver on Vlad resulted
in her capture by Bette Noire, to whom she is now bound by blood. Even without the oath, she is determined to hold on to Bette as she
IS a better class of patron
than Vakhra had in 5 years of drifting.
A complex, friendly & generally gentle sophont, Vakhra is a killer who nonetheless dislikes having to kill, choosing bodyguard or
courier assignments when she could. Her use of telepathy to gain insight on opponents' habits only compounds her reluctance to kill
when touching the mind that is innocent or at least justified in their hate towards a client. He addiction to Marttylla started when she
used the alcoholic beverage to shut down her psi abilities when she had to kill. Unfortunately, her reaction to the psi numbing effects
of Marttylla tends to childlike playfulness & uncontrolled laughter as she will be amused by almost anything. Hence, her nickname,
the laughing killer. When under Marttylla's influence, she carries no weapon except a neural whip, placing her deadlier weapons out
of reach.
When on duty, her prefers to use gauss weaponry, either pistol,
rifle, SMG, or SAW, depending on the need. She will try to
disable an opponent rather than kill them

the government. Bitter at the lack of vision
that has Nervenheilanstadt an underdeveloped planet, he has
made his planet an outpost of smuggling in order to help raise the tech level & quality of living. Under his orders all of the regular
smugglers (such as Bette Noire) are given rank (along with fake ID & histories) in the Nervenheilanstadt Self Defense Force. These
smugglers, all corsairs are also used to help repel attacks by LOFW assault ships. This is a dangerous procedure as his system is in the
middle of heavily controlled Die Weltbund territory where occassional visit by navy ships are not unheard of.
Though a rebel, he does desire breaking away from Die
Weltbund. Instead he is involved in the Mohr Free Trade underground, hoping that opening the borders to non-DW
starships will increase the quality of living for the average
Die Weltbunder. He has had dealings with many of the pro-Imperial party Dark Goddessess captains as well as dealing with Imperial
diplomats. He maintains an ambassador secretly on St. Foy/Liberty Hall.
However, if he does break ties with DW, his popularity would insure the full support of the government & the people.
His wife Theresa Maria was killed in a LOFW terrorist attack
in 1107. He has two children Erich Richard 11, & Hildegarde Maria 18. Hildegarde is currently attending the Guildheim Merchant
Academy.
He has a second cousin, Heidi Magdalena Vor-Beck, who is a naval capt. in the NSDF, often is outsystem covertly on the

cybertank program, she was discharged after developing an emotional attachment to her command vehicle, 6NJ-1 WLF(whom she called
'Wolfie'. Becoming completely unhinged being away from her 'lover', her father, an Imperial count, used his connections to get "Wolfie'
reunited with his daughter.
There were two conditions: (1) they operate outside the Imperium as merc's, doing the occasional job for Imperial Intelligence, & (2) never
use the family name, just her personal name & the new title. Cheerful & frenetic, Juliette gets by in human society, but likes machines &
loves 'Wolfie" to point where she has inplanted 'pleasure' circuits into his computer brain.She's always running off to some function with
her 'lover' in tow in either his Trepida grav tank form or in a dandily dressed companionbot. On the job, however, she is as cold &
methodical, slipping into a monotone, robotic voice. They specialize in bodyguard, extraction & rescue mission with 'Wolfie' supplying
the transport & fire support while she uses her combat skills & computer knowledge. Juliette also own an laser-cannon armed grav bike, a
grav car, & a grav APC mounting a gatling, RAM grenade launcher & a laser cannon. Her personal weapons are gauss pistol & sniper
rifle for combat & gauss sleeve guns for dress clothing. She often wear her dress Imperial Uniform with dress gauss pistol & rapier.

singing accompaning Wolfie's keyboard music. Juliette is easily offended by sentients who find her relationship strange & has been
known to get homicidal. If questioned politely about the relationship, she will responded in a bored voice: "I love him for his mind."

have Hobbyist as a belief structure, Wolfie is the rare Explorer & is very fond of his commander (love?) & they make a formidible team.
Besides his affection for Juliette, his motivation makes him an aesthetic & is very interested in human arts & culture. His hobby is music,
particularly the neo-Baroque currently in vogue in the Spinward Marches, Trelyn Domain & the Mapepire Cluster. Besides performing,
he writes his own music, which has been well recieved. Besides his main Trepida hull, he controls 4 bots: 2 maintenance bots located in
hatches in his hull, a grav combat bot (2 tentacles, 1 gauss gun (500 rds), & 1 laser rifle/torch) that resembles a human sized
hummingbird, & a companion bot dressed in elaborate, flashy clothing( armed with built palm shockers & 1 gauss pistol (24 rds). Wolfie
likes to perform & can easily be persuaded by anyone to play Most sentients are uncertain whether Wolfie & Juliette are cute,
disturbing, or downright perverse. Unlike Juliette, Wolfie is not offended by criticism or disgust at their relationship & will ignore it.
Besides his pain circuits, Juliette has paid to install pleasure circuitry which is wired to transmitters inside her skull to 'enhance' their
relationship.

cybertank program, she was discharged after developing an emotional attachment to her command vehicle, 6NJ-1 WLF(whom she called
'Wolfie'. Becoming completely unhinged being away from her 'lover', her father, an Imperial count, used his connections to get "Wolfie'
reunited with his daughter.
There were two conditions: (1) they operate outside the Imperium as merc's, doing the occasional job for Imperial Intelligence, & (2) never
use the family name, just her personal name & the new title. Cheerful & frenetic, Juliette gets by in human society, but likes machines &
loves 'Wolfie" to point where she has inplanted 'pleasure' circuits into his computer brain.She's always running off to some function with
her 'lover' in tow in either his Trepida grav tank form or in a dandily dressed companionbot. On the job, however, she is as cold &
methodical, slipping into a monotone, robotic voice. They specialize in bodyguard, extraction & rescue mission with 'Wolfie' supplying
the transport & fire support while she uses her combat skills & computer knowledge. Juliette also own an laser-cannon armed grav bike, a
grav car, & a grav APC mounting a gatling, RAM grenade launcher & a laser cannon. Her personal weapons are gauss pistol & sniper
rifle for combat & gauss sleeve guns for dress clothing. She often wear her dress Imperial Uniform with dress gauss pistol & rapier.
Currently is making Guildheim her home port. She can be seen at some of the more upper class spots accompanied by Wolfie, often
singing accompaning Wolfie's keyboard music. Juliette is easily offended by sentients who find her relationship strange & has been
known to get homicidal. If questioned politely about the relationship, she will responded in a bored voice: "I love him for his mind."

EXPLORER, MOTIVATION: LOVING.
Combine Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart with General George S. Patton and you'll have an idea of what Wolfie is like. While most VECT's
have Hobbyist as a belief structure, Wolfie is the rare Explorer & is very fond of his commander (love?) & they make a formidible team.
Besides his affection for Juliette, his motivation makes him an aesthetic & is very interested in human arts & culture. His hobby is music,
particularly the neo-Baroque currently in vogue in the Spinward Marches, Trelyn Domain & the Mapepire Cluster. Besides performing,
he writes his own music, which has been well recieved. Besides his main Trepida hull, he controls 4 bots: 2 maintenance bots located in
hatches in his hull, a grav combat bot (2 tentacles, 1 gauss gun (500 rds), & 1 laser rifle/torch) that resembles a human sized
hummingbird, & a companion bot dressed in elaborate, flashy clothing( armed with built palm shockers & 1 gauss pistol (24 rds). Wolfie
likes to perform & can easily be persuaded by anyone to play Most sentients are uncertain whether Wolfie & Juliette are cute,
disturbing, or downright perverse. Unlike Juliette, Wolfie is not offended by criticism or disgust at their relationship & will ignore it.
Besides his pain circuits, Juliette has paid to install pleasure circuitry which is wired to transmitters inside her skull to 'enhance' their
relationship.

LAISON 3, PILOT 1, COMPUTER 1, NAVIGATION 1,
SUBMERSIBLE 1, COMMO 1, SURVIVAL 1 JOT 2.
Native of Tarsus/Spinward Marches, Manax is the son of
an Naval Intelligence officer Qued Darkhstarr & Llorei, daughter of a Darrian diplomat. He has a distinguished career in the
laison branch of the IISS due in part to his natural ability to get along with others & his contacts in the corsair community
(the Darkhstarrs are one of founder families of the Huin Hierarchy). He has played a part in the clandestine use of
pro-Imperial corsairs against Die Weltbund spacecraft & trade. Seconded to the diplomatic service in 1110, he has spent
most of his time as a culturalattache at the Comsentient Alliance's Grand Council, undermining when he can the
anti-Imperial factions.
His current assignment is at the court of St. Foy/Liberty Hall where he has been sent to negotiate a trade treaty with the
duke of St. Foy. The assignment is a sham, the result of some of his enemies' machinations mixed with imperial policies.
Knowing that the radical members of DieWeltbund's navy will do anything to block a Imperial/St. Foy alliance, the plotters
hope that those said radicals will assassinate Manax, thus creating an incident that will weaken Die Weltbund's bargaining
power at the latest Imperial/DW trade talks. Manax is very aware of his danger & has taken the liberty of hiring a Eshenili
bodyguard, Shayla Vaas. He is also always armed with gauss sleeve guns or concealed lasers. However this assignment
has ended to to the current Duke of St. Foy deporting all Imperial diplomats, Since then, Manax has retired (?) spending
more time with Phoenix Couriers, in which he is a partner. Rumors also connect with Bette Noire & other Corsairs
A genuine sincere & honest xenophile, Manax is more at home with non-Imperials, aliens, free traders,& rogues then with his
own kind. Nontheless, he still very loyal to the Imperium & will defend the Imperium's rights & property like a tiger. His main
flaw as a diplomat is a sense of of fair play in negotiations that has earned several imperial enemies.
