[[Image:Status_Quo_Edition_2_Cover_Small.jpg|thumb|right|100px|Status Quo. Cover by Neil Badman]]
[[Image:Mutabilisneilbadman.png|thumb|right|100px|Mutabilis. Cover by Neil Badman]]

* [[Status_Quo|Status Quo]] (2006) - The first story in the [[Oolite Saga]]. “A brilliant scientist uncovers a terrifying plot to begin a galactic war. Aided by a talented, but reluctant and embittered combateer, he must stop the deployment of a super weapon he invented. A weapon so powerful it threatens to destroy entire worlds.” Elite came with a Novella called ''The Dark Wheel'', which set the scene for the game. ''Status Quo'' aims to do the same thing for Oolite, introducing Commander Jamesons to the Ooniverse...
* [[Mutabilis]] (2008) - The second story in the [[Oolite Saga]]. “When a series of linked murders forces GalCop to outlaw the shadow organisation known as ‘The Dark Wheel’, a mysterious top secret document must be found in order to stave off a galactic conflict. The document contains a devastating secret; the key to domination, power and control. A secret as old as space itself, the location of the legendary planet ‘Raxxla’”. ''Mutabilis'' is the sequel to 'Status Quo' and also introduces readers to the adventures of [[User:Captain_Hesperus|Captain Hesperus]]. Further accounts of this roguish character can be found in the [[Calliope]] story below...''
* [[Incursio]] (2011) - The third story and final part of the [[Oolite Saga]]. “When a deadly alien attack is launched across the galaxy, humankind finds itself under-prepared and overwhelmed. As star systems begin to fall, privateers take up the battle alongside the military forces and a desperate plan is hatched to stop the invaders once and for all, before humanity is eradicated.” ''Incursio'' picks up the story eleven years later and also feature avatars from the Oolite forum: Daddyhoggy, Hesperus, Udian, Coyote, Derik, Cheyd and Maik.''
* [[Finis]] (2011) - The fourth and final final part of the [[Oolite Saga]]. "With the alien menace poised to overthrow the galaxy a lone group of combateers is all that that stands between them and total annihilation. When one of their number is kidnapped by the aliens and their plans thwarted, the group must decide whether to mount a rescue and risk losing the war, or sacrifice her for the greater good of humankind…"
* [[Altera]] (2016) - The fifth and final final final part of the [[Oolite Saga]].

The first two of the series have been transmogrified into [[Ship's Library OXP|Ship's Library]] books for reading while docked or in-flight on an MDF.

The Oolite Saga had its own [http://www.facebook.com/drewwagarwriter fan page on Facebook].''

Drew has also written a number of short stories for the Oolite Universe…

* [[Schism]] (2007) - ”Lumbering through the deeps of space are the Generation Ships; huge self contained transports driving between the stars at sublight speeds in the midst of thousand year journeys to populate new planets. After 30 generations, a staggering and devastating truth is revealed to the occupants of one such ship…”
* [[Nine]] (2009) - “The story of an attempt to reach the ‘ninth’ chart. As players familiar with Elite and Oolite will doubtless know there are only eight charts reachable by Galactic Hyperspace. Does the ninth chart exist? Can it be reached? If so, what’s there? This is a slightly chilling tale of the ‘Ooniverse’…”
* [[Ascension]] (2009) - ”A tale of what might happen when an example of sophisticated technology is suddenly thrust upon a backward culture steeped in religion.”
* [[Replay]] (2009) - “Difficult to describe even in summary without giving away the plot. It’s only three and a half pages long, so won’t take you long! Enjoy!”
* [[Family]] (2009) - “an excellent battle and nice interaction between Kemi and the Princess.”

<Blockquote>
My god, the stars...

Hundreds of the blinking lights shone through the infinite blackness of the abyss. The three viewscreens in front of him where filled with them. Slowly the pilot leaned back in his chair. Eyeing the left viewscreen with a hint of concern, he pushed the steering yoke forward, pushing the ships' nose downward, and hopefully out of the 'lane' of traffic going into, and leaving the station.

At its pilot's bidding, the Python class frieghter sunk downward. The pilot pressed a button on his console, and the center viewscreen's view suddenly changed. Now it showed a perspective from the rear of the ship, allowing the pilot to see a spinning decahedron shaped mass. The engines where at 'full-burn' and a trail of yellow and blue partially obscured the Coriolis space station. Just behind it, a massive green blob filled part of the screen.

Lave

The planet was infamous. Or more accurately, the system where it made its residence. Many a spacer had started his or her career here. The Lave Academy qualified those with the credits for space flight. Licenses where issued by a rather surly frog aboard the orbiting space station.

Having just left a rather heated encounter with just such a dockmaster, the young pilot gave a scowl. This promised to be an interesting trip. Putting the ship onto a course aiming directly at the sun, Orin Minea'r leaned back into the pilot's chair and observed the deck around him.</Blockquote>

=== Introduction ===
Planets, eh? Who needs ’em? Big, massy, gassy things, and all that gravity’s just a drag... That’s what most spacers tend to think, anyway. But peek beneath those clouds, look beyond that one-line description in the Register of Worlds, and there are delights and surprises in store for anyone willing to go those extra few klicks from orbit to the surface! Let our team of Planetary Reviewers guide you through the highs and lows of the local volume, the sights, the smells, the sheer otherness of life on foreign worlds, under alien skies. So leave the ship in the loading bay, take a break, take a shuttle and come on down...

=== Nuggets from the BB ===
==== Planetside ====
One of the most frequent questions a star pilot or traveller asks is why can't I land on planets?. The answer to this is quite simple. Because you are not allowed to. In reality though the reasons are varied and complex, though [[GalCop]] show signs of relaxing their attitude to planetside visits through the deployment of shuttlecraft. Never attempt to take your own vessle into a planet's atmosphere. The police are allowed to use deadly force and will.

Should you wish to visit a planet you must first obtain a visa from the appropriate authorities on the space station and rent a shuttle craft. These can be quite expensive and charges are ususally applied on a daily basis. Never attempt to trade with a planet's inhabitants whether they be your species or not. Onworld trade is strictly forbidden and drastic measures will be take (pilot's license revoked, 35 year prison sentence minimum).

As stated above, the laws are starting to be relaxed and there are a few reports of some systems upgrading their basic starports. Be advised though that these are rumours and despite some protests from various environmentalist groups GalCop have not announced anything official regarding this matter.

==== Currency ====
The standard galactic currency is the credit and is accepted throughout all GalCop registered planets. All purchases (equipment, transport, consumables, stock etc.) will be conducted in credits [See GalCop Directive 3123-3127 for further details].
Some planets may trade with currency other than the credit. Be warned that this done at the trader's discretion.

==== Food and Drink ====
In a galaxy as diverse and varied as ours it is next to impossible to list all the delightful dishes and drinks you may come across. However, the Lavian Tree Grub and Lavian Chardonnay come highly recommended. With regards to the Lavian wine always ensure that you ask for white chardonnay as opposed to the red variety. These two drinks are poles apart! Other foods to lookout for is Thrumpberry flavouring and deep fried trumble (The Ontiat system is probably the best for BBQ trumble - try it for yourself).

==== Communications ====
Most communications are conducted via the Holo-fac facility and all space faring vessels are equiped with this communications unit. As long as you have a name, home planet and valid ID reference code for the person you wish to contact the Holo-fac facility can be used for an unlimited time with no cost to the user. [For further details of how GalComm can provide this service at no charge to you then it is advisable to read the GalComm enquiry of 3002]

==== Media ====
Due to restrictions in ship-to-ship communications (see DeLaney Vs Galcop 3001 and Fotherham Vs Galcop 3004 for further details) most communications are done via bulletin board system.

Occasional news items may be broadcast direct to the ship, but large scale galactic news is reduced due to bandwith proximities and com regulations.

It is advisable, therefore, that all travellers and star pilots who wish to communicate with each other do via the BBS.

==== Sports and Entertainments ====
In a universe as diverse as ours a full range of sports and entertainments would take up several thousand volumes. However, there are some interesting diversions that are worth noting.

Firstly, '''Zero-G hockey''', the galactic sport is currently enjoying it's 150th Galactic championship. Here, the top 32 systems "battle" it out to see who can lift the coveted Galactic Cup. Systems have to enter a "world" team (made up of the best players in their system) for qualification.

This prestigious tournament, held every four years, is the number one event and this year, Zaonce have qualified for the first time in over 70 years.

Zero-G has a long and fascinating history and it is well worth checking out Zero-G: The Definitive Guide - Past, Present and Future 44th Edition, Published by Trantor House, Lave

As well as Zero-G hockey there are literally hundreds of sports available to watch and participate in. Of particular note is the growth of '''rugby'''. Once this was a popular sport on old Earth but had declined to the point of extinction. Now, a consortium of businessmen (names, unfortunately, withheld from publication) are pumping millions of credits into this ancient sport. In just a few short years this sport has grown in popularity. If you get a chance attend a game and witness one of the sports of yesteryear.

As well as sports there are a variety of outposts you can visit and relax in. In some systems you'll find the [[HoOpy Casino|HoOpy Casinos]]. Once regarded as a bit of harmless fun, now they are a multi-billion credit industry and the premium outlet for all your gambling needs.

==== Trumbles ====

This species deserves special mention as out of the millions of different species that populate the universe the Trumble is one of the most well known. Often seen as a pest and pet in equal measure these small creatures have a habit of infesting living space if not looked after in the correct manner. Although there are many galactic myths about the Trumbles (breeding continuously is one) the space traveller would be advised to check their facts with reliable sources. Trumbles require specific diets and all reputable traders will inform you of how to keep them and how to maintain a healthy lifestyle of the for animal.

In recent years there has been a lot of Trumble baiting and Trumble Turning (a pilot stocks up on Trumbles and flies out to the nearest star...well you can guess the results). Despite being edible a number of protest groups have started to voice their concerns. Indeed, there have been reports of some Trumble rights activists attacking trade ships and sellers of these unusual animals.

==== What to do in an Emergency ====
It is vital that you ensure that your newly purchased vessle comes with a REMLOK mask. All dealerships in space faring vessels a required by GalCop law to provide one AT NO EXTRA COST [GalCop Directive 420].
The Remlok mask is essentail for anybody travelling through space.
Should you find yourself in the unfortunate position of being stranded in the hard vacuum without a ship and space suit then the Remlok mask is essential. Protecting your vital organs the Remlok device shields you from the void by InsPlas plasFibre coating. The advanced communications devices secured within the visiplate broadcast SOS signals through 40 channels, shifting wavelength within each channel four times a second.

Advanced Navigational Array

2015-11-30T10:20:42Z

Disembodied: /* Usage */ Updating "shortest time" display instructions for 1.82

== Overview ==
Many times during exploration of the galaxies, commanders find themselves looking for a quick way to get to a certain destination planet. Route planning over long distances can be tedious and is often prone to trial and error: In some cases, distance between consecutive stops on the way to destination may be very close to the 7.0 LY fuel limit, creating uncertainty in regards to the feasibility of the trip. In other cases, destinations may simply be unreachable.

The Advanced Navigational Array (ANA) is a navigation computer software upgrade, designed to assist commanders in planning long routes on the galactic map. In its current implementation, it allows commanders to view the Interplanetary Connectivity Grid (ICG) for the galaxy they are currently in, plus an overlay of the shortest route to their selected destination. For versions of Oolite prior to 1.74, shortest route refers to minimum number of jumps required and not necessarily shortest journey time. Oolite versions from 1.74 onwards feature the shortest journey time route as well. The ANA allows in addition for a quick and easy way to spot unreachable destinations on the current galaxy.

== Usage ==
The ANA is activated by pressing ‘'''^'''’ (Shift + 6) – or ‘'''!'''’ (Shift + 1) for Oolite versions before 1.69 – while on the galactic chart screen. The ICG and route to destination will be displayed for as long as ‘'''^'''’ remains pressed and will switch off upon key release. See images below for examples:

* [[Image:GalChart.png]]
Galactic chart screen selected.

* [[Image:ANA_display2.png]]
'^' pressed and held. ANA is now active showing ICG and route to selected destination.

* [[Image:ANA_destinationUnreachable.png]]
Selected destination is unreachable. Only ICG is plotted in this case.

* [[Image:ANA_display3.png]]
Starting with Oolite version 1.74, it is possible to display also the shortest travel time route to the selected destination. To do this, press 'Shift+6' while the ANA is activated (from version 1.82; for versions 1.74 to 1.80, press 'Ctrl').

== Availability ==
The Advanced Navigational Array is buyable equipment, available at any planet of Tech Level 7 or higher. Cost: 2250 Cr.
This equipment is not supported in Oolite versions earlier than 1.67.

==Blaze O'Glory==

Commander "Blaze O'Glory" is the current pseudonym of an individual with a, to say the least, murky past. More than twenty years ago, it appears he was a starship pilot who suffered some form of mishap and was forced to eject. A series of failures in the escape pod systems – possibly damaged in the attack or accident – put the pod into a highly eccentric elliptical orbit around the star. By sheer chance the pod, now pitted by micrometeorites and scoured by solar radiation, was picked up a couple of years ago. The pod was turned over to the Moray Medicals, who, to their surprise and growing horror, discovered that the occupant was still alive.

The internal life-support mechanisms had been radically altered. Resyk units had been patched, recircuited and reprioritised, mated in desperate ways with the onboard autodoc, and stretched far beyond their design limits. The pilot was, indeed, alive: but no closed system is 100% efficient. Over the years the machinery had been forced to cannibalise all available resources to maintain core brain activity. "All available resources" ... you don't need legs to live, or arms; or skin; or flesh; or bones. Then one major organ system after another had been consumed, their functions taken over by mechanical processes. By the time rescue came, the pilot had been stripped down, piece by piece, reduced – simplified – to a nervous system and nothing else, held suspended in a soupy fluid within a pressure suit.

The motto of the Moray Medicals is "Never Say Die". This case tested it to its fullest. Eventually, however, with infinite patience, they excised this bundle of nerves from its warped cocoon and placed it in a specially-designed suspensor tank, meshed into sensor webs and a set of basic manipulators. Then they handed it over to the Psychs – and hit the local bars, hard.

The pilot's original personality and memories were almost wholly gone. But radical egosurgery and experimental wetware did manage to coax a functioning, and to all intents and purposes sane, individual from the remains.

[[Image:radiomaru.png|thumb|right|The ''Radio Maru'' leaves orbit]]A long-running legal battle ensued between the Medicals, the disembodied brain (now referring to itself as "Blaze O'Glory", which caused the Psychs some concern) and EV-Away!, the manufacturers of his escape pod. The pod's black-box recorder had been cooked, and there was no record of who the pilot actually was, how much his insurance policy should pay out, or if it was even still valid. Eventually, suffering from increasing bad publicity, the manufacturers caved in and agreed to settle out of court. The medical bills were paid, and Blaze O'Glory was given a basic ship and 100 creds. EV-Away! had at first suggested a Worm, but O'Glory stuck to his guns and held out for a minimum-spec Cobra Mk III, which he named the ''Potage Électrique''. His pilot's skills, although perhaps – who can say? – not what they used to be, seem at least adequate: he's made it to Elite, and has fought and traded his way up to a cherry-red Wolf Mark II SE, the ''Radio Maru'', too. Clamped into the fabric of the ship, and wired directly to the controls, he's carving out a new life for himself across the quadrant.

===Known Ships===
''Potage Électrique'', [[Cobra Mk.3 (Oolite)|Cobra Mark III]]

''Likely Story'', [[Iguana (Oolite)|Iguana]]

''Prodigal Daughter'', [[Python Class Cruiser]]

''Radio Maru'', [[Wolf Mk.2 (Oolite)|Wolf Mark II]] (current; recently upgraded to '''Wolf Mark II Special Edition''')

===Elite Rating===
'''***ELITE***'''

===Legal Status===
Blaze O'Glory is currently rated '''Clean'''. His record contains one misdemeanor, now expired, for launching from a GalCo-op station with a ton of Narcotics on board. He was briefly listed as '''Fugitive – Most Wanted – Shoot on Sight''' following an incident on Gelegeus in Galaxy 1. O'Glory was arrested and charged with '''Creating Alarm and Despond''', '''Disrupting the Orderly Operation of the Station''', '''Impersonating a Hostile Intelligence''', and '''Trading in Sub-Standard Goods (Liquors, Wines and Beverages subsection)'''. He was found Not Guilty on all counts. An attempt by Commander O'Glory to sue the station for wrongful arrest was dismissed by the Gelegeus Merchants' Court.

====The Gelegeus Incident====
O'Glory has published his own account of the events on Gelegeus:

:''Oh dear. I'd hoped that people had forgotten about that embarrassing little episode. Really, it was a long time ago, and was nothing more than a stupid misunderstanding that's been blown out of all proportion. I suppose I should set the record straight.

:''I was pretty raw back then, both as a pilot and as an individual. I was still flying my first ship, the ''Potage Électrique'', a [[Cobra_Mk.3_%28Oolite%29|Cobra III]], and I was still finding out about myself. Was I a hard-working trader? A sundogging space bum? A stone-cold killer? Of course, now I realise that these crude categories don't really describe anyone, but in the early days I was just the basic core of a personality, built up from wetware wafers and pseudo-experiences, grafted onto whatever rudimentary neural structures remained from whoever was in here before me. I was seeking some kind of definition.

:''Anyway, I'd fitted out the ''Potage Électrique'' with a [[Military_Lasers|military laser]] and upped her shields. I'd had a few firefights before, of course, but on a small scale and in self-defence only. Now I was off looking for trouble.

:''Gelegeus and its neighbouring systems (Zaleriza, anarchy; Xeenle, anarchy; Eszaraxe, anarchy; Isveve, anarchy; Xeesenri, anarchy) is a good place to find that. Honestly, the whole sector is in chaos; there must be something in the background radiation. So in I went, and although I gave as good as I got, and then some – pushed my ratings all the way up from "Average" to "Competent" in five jumps – I scared myself silly in the process. I'll fight, if it comes down to it, and kill if I have to, but I take no joy in it. I was not, it would seem, a pirate, assassin or bounty-hunter. I decided to get out while I was still in one piece, and headed for Biisza, the only island of sanity in the whole volume.

:''To get there, though, I had to head through Gelegeus. It's a [[Powers_and_Organisations#Multi-Government_Worlds|multi-government]] system, a backwards little poor agricultural. I wish I'd just sunskimmed and headed on for Biisza, but there was a "[[Free Trade Zone]]" lurking between me and the star so I ran in to the main station instead.

:''Well that was a ropey run and no mistake. I fought through a five-way furball, dealt with a lone-wolf [[Asp_%28Oolite%29|Asp]], and got jumped by a [[Fer-de-Lance_%28Oolite|Fer-de-Lance]] and his two [[Cobra_Mk.1_%28Oolite%29|Cobra 1]] friends all in the space of three hundred klicks. As the dust cleared, and I was setting up to collect some cargo, I spotted two [[Iguana_%28Oolite%29|Iguanas]], a [[Cat_%28Oolite%29|Cat]] and a big [[Python_%28Oolite%29|Black Dog]] sliding in. Being somewhat beat up, I decided that discretion was the better part of valour, and survival was the cherry on the top. I hightailed it out on my [[Witch_fuel_injectors|injectors]]. Fortunately they were too busy reaping the rewards of my hard labours to bother with more than a token pursuit.

:''So by the time I got into Gelegeus station, I was in a pretty foul mood. It got worse after I discovered that the local scutters weren't remotely qualified to carry out any of the necessary repairs. Then I received a demand to explain a discrepancy in my bill of lading; a cannister of [[Commodities#Luxuries|luxury goods]] which I'd had in there had been destroyed in the fighting, but the Gelegeusians were claiming it was still there and was actually [[Commodities#Liquor.2FWines|liquor and wines]]. Basically, a whole good ton of Solageonian Tree-Wolf musk had been blown all over the inside of the cargo bay, but the dock crew were prepared to drink the residue so as far as they were concerned it was booze. I told them that if they wanted to drink it, they were welcome and with my blessing, as long as they finished servicing the ''Potage Électrique'' first. Okay and thank you, came the reply, but could I just indent the bill – manually, of all things. I told you they were backwards.

:''Fine. Right. I popped the canopy and trundled out onto the wing of the ''Potage'': and that's when all hell broke loose. Suddenly there was screaming and shouting, and klaxons going off all over; scutters were bumping into each other, blast-doors were clanging down and a bunch of local Blues came charging out waving a goddam EMpulser, screaming about an outbreak and ordering everyone to crash their systems. Well, I turned around to get back into the cockpit and purge the computer when the bastards opened up – on me.

:''I locked up dead. My core systems were shielded, of course, but I was still in my original basic transport body. My manipulators, my treads, my communications, my sensorium, all got pulled down by the EMP. I was caught in frozen darkness: no sound, no sight, no sensation at all, just me and my neurons, all on our ownsome, for what seemed like an eternity but probably wasn't much longer than a couple of hours.

:''They don't get many cyborgs through there; certainly none as radical as yours truly. Turned out that somebody, some half-witted hick farmer in the control booth who read too much science fiction, had clocked me for an autonomous AI, a rogue robot about to inject an uplift virus into the station systems and fling Gelegeus into a singularity event. Like I said, backwards. Anyway, to cover their embarrassment, and probably to forestall any lawsuit on my part, they charged me with "Impersonating a Hostile Intelligence", "Creating Alarm and Despond", and "Disrupting the Orderly Operation of the Station". Oh, and "Trading in Sub-Standard Goods (Liquors, Wines and Beverages subsection)", too. They actually put me on trial, would you believe, after first fitting me out with a replacement sensorium (black-and-white, it was, and pretty damn grainy) and a voicebox that made me sound like I was gargling gravel. At least they managed to repair my transport body: at one point it looked like they were going to have to wheel me into the courtroom on a cart. This is where all that "Fugitive" nonsense comes from; before the trial, the ''Potage'' was impounded and my transponder was clicked up to a stupidly high criminal rating to prevent me "fleeing justice". Standard practice on Gelegeus, apparently: given that their Blues are so damn incompetent it's probably even a good idea.

:''The whole charade collapsed when it came to court, of course. The charges were dropped, my legal status returned to normal, and my good name restored (although not, I see, before the rumour-mills started to spin all manner of nonsense about me...). I did raise the issue of compensation, but that proved a non-starter: it was, apparently, an "honest mistake" and everyone concerned had "followed operational protocol". I thought briefly about pushing it – but I'd already spend far too many days of my brief life in numbing courtroom battles. I just wanted to get up, get out, and never come back.

:''I did, to my later shame, make some intemperate remarks to a local fax reporter about "scarlet-arsed forkheads", which didn't go down too well, and did cause some later resentment among other red horned humanoids who heard it. Well. I was young, I was stupid, and I was deeply, deeply pissed off. Still no excuse, though. People are people, whether they're blue, green, red, black, yellow, furry, bald, slimy, chitinous, or floating in a jar.

:''So. There's the whole sorry story. I shook the dust of Gelegeus from my tracks and lit out for brighter stars. I did upgrade my personal systems soon after, which I feel was a good thing: it helped ground me in a sense of who and what I am. And I did put out a general statement of apology for my use of the f-word, which I hope was accepted by horned communities everywhere as an unfortunate outburst under stressful circumstances. Certainly the people of Onenla didn't seem to care; then again, they're a pretty enlightened bunch. I, for one, will not be back again in Gelegeus in this lifetime, so what they think of me there I know little and care even less.

==Blaze O'Glory==

Commander "Blaze O'Glory" is the current pseudonym of an individual with a, to say the least, murky past. More than twenty years ago, it appears he was a starship pilot who suffered some form of mishap and was forced to eject. A series of failures in the escape pod systems – possibly damaged in the attack or accident – put the pod into a highly eccentric elliptical orbit around the star. By sheer chance the pod, now pitted by micrometeorites and scoured by solar radiation, was picked up a couple of years ago. The pod was turned over to the Moray Medicals, who, to their surprise and growing horror, discovered that the occupant was still alive.

The internal life-support mechanisms had been radically altered. Resyk units had been patched, recircuited and reprioritised, mated in desperate ways with the onboard autodoc, and stretched far beyond their design limits. The pilot was, indeed, alive: but no closed system is 100% efficient. Over the years the machinery had been forced to cannibalise all available resources to maintain core brain activity. "All available resources" ... you don't need legs to live, or arms; or skin; or flesh; or bones. Then one major organ system after another had been consumed, their functions taken over by mechanical processes. By the time rescue came, the pilot had been stripped down, piece by piece, reduced – simplified – to a nervous system and nothing else, held suspended in a soupy fluid within a pressure suit.

The motto of the Moray Medicals is "Never Say Die". This case tested it to its fullest. Eventually, however, with infinite patience, they excised this bundle of nerves from its warped cocoon and placed it in a specially-designed suspensor tank, meshed into sensor webs and a set of basic manipulators. Then they handed it over to the Psychs – and hit the local bars, hard.

The pilot's original personality and memories were almost wholly gone. But radical egosurgery and experimental wetware did manage to coax a functioning, and to all intents and purposes sane, individual from the remains.

[[Image:radiomaru.png|thumb|right|The ''Radio Maru'' leaves orbit]]A long-running legal battle ensued between the Medicals, the disembodied brain (now referring to itself as "Blaze O'Glory", which caused the Psychs some concern) and EV-Away!, the manufacturers of his escape pod. The pod's black-box recorder had been cooked, and there was no record of who the pilot actually was, how much his insurance policy should pay out, or if it was even still valid. Eventually, suffering from increasing bad publicity, the manufacturers caved in and agreed to settle out of court. The medical bills were paid, and Blaze O'Glory was given a basic ship and 100 creds. EV-Away! had at first suggested a Worm, but O'Glory stuck to his guns and held out for a minimum-spec Cobra Mk III, which he named the ''Potage Électrique''. His pilot's skills, although perhaps – who can say? – not what they used to be, seem at least adequate: he's made it to Elite, and has fought and traded his way up to a cherry-red Wolf Mark II SE, the ''Radio Maru'', too. Clamped into the fabric of the ship, and wired directly to the controls, he's carving out a new life for himself across the quadrant.

===Elite Rating===
'''***ELITE***'''

===Legal Status===
Blaze O'Glory is currently rated '''Clean'''. His record contains one misdemeanor, now expired, for launching from a GalCo-op station with a ton of Narcotics on board. He was briefly listed as '''Fugitive – Most Wanted – Shoot on Sight''' following an incident on Gelegeus in Galaxy 1. O'Glory was arrested and charged with '''Creating Alarm and Despond''', '''Disrupting the Orderly Operation of the Station''', '''Impersonating a Hostile Intelligence''', and '''Trading in Sub-Standard Goods (Liquors, Wines and Beverages subsection)'''. He was found Not Guilty on all counts. An attempt by Commander O'Glory to sue the station for wrongful arrest was dismissed by the Gelegeus Merchants' Court.

====The Gelegeus Incident====
O'Glory has published his own account of the events on Gelegeus:

:''Oh dear. I'd hoped that people had forgotten about that embarrassing little episode. Really, it was a long time ago, and was nothing more than a stupid misunderstanding that's been blown out of all proportion. I suppose I should set the record straight.

:''I was pretty raw back then, both as a pilot and as an individual.

Then I received a demand to explain a discrepancy in my bill of lading; a cannister of [[Commodities#Luxuries|luxury goods]] which I'd had in there had been destroyed in the fighting, but the Gelegeusians were claiming it was still there and was actually [[Commodities#Liquor.2FWines|liquor and wines]]. Basically, a whole good ton of Solageonian Tree-Wolf musk had been blown all over the inside of the cargo bay, but the dock crew were prepared to drink the residue so as far as they were concerned it was booze. I told them that if they wanted to drink it, they were welcome and with my blessing, as long as they finished servicing the ''Potage Électrique'' first. Okay and thank you, came the reply, but could I just indent the bill – manually, of all things. I told you they were backwards.

:''Fine. Right. I popped the canopy and trundled out onto the wing of the ''Potage'': and that's when all hell broke loose. Suddenly there was screaming and shouting, and klaxons going off all over; scutters were bumping into each other, blast-doors were clanging down and a bunch of local Blues came charging out waving a goddam EMpulser, screaming about an outbreak and ordering everyone to crash their systems. Well, I turned around to get back into the cockpit and purge the computer when the bastards opened up – on me.

:''I locked up dead. My core systems were shielded, of course, but I was still in my original basic transport body. My manipulators, my treads, my communications, my sensorium, all got pulled down by the EMP. I was caught in frozen darkness: no sound, no sight, no sensation at all, just me and my neurons, all on our ownsome, for what seemed like an eternity but probably wasn't much longer than a couple of hours.

:''They don't get many cyborgs through there; certainly none as radical as yours truly. Turned out that somebody, some half-witted hick farmer in the control booth who read too much science fiction, had clocked me for an autonomous AI, a rogue robot about to inject an uplift virus into the station systems and fling Gelegeus into a singularity event. Like I said, backwards. Anyway, to cover their embarrassment, and probably to forestall any lawsuit on my part, they charged me with "Impersonating a Hostile Intelligence", "Creating Alarm and Despond", and "Disrupting the Orderly Operation of the Station". Oh, and "Trading in Sub-Standard Goods (Liquors, Wines and Beverages subsection)", too. They actually put me on trial, would you believe, after first fitting me out with a replacement sensorium (black-and-white, it was, and pretty damn grainy) and a voicebox that made me sound like I was gargling gravel. At least they managed to repair my transport body: at one point it looked like they were going to have to wheel me into the courtroom on a cart. This is where all that "Fugitive" nonsense comes from; before the trial, the ''Potage'' was impounded and my transponder was clicked up to a stupidly high criminal rating to prevent me "fleeing justice". Standard practice on Gelegeus, apparently: given that their Blues are so damn incompetent it's probably even a good idea.

:''The whole charade collapsed when it came to court, of course. The charges were dropped, my legal status returned to normal, and my good name restored (although not, I see, before the rumour-mills started to spin all manner of nonsense about me...). I did raise the issue of compensation, but that proved a non-starter: it was, apparently, an "honest mistake" and everyone concerned had "followed operational protocol". I thought briefly about pushing it – but I'd already spend far too many days of my brief life in numbing courtroom battles. I just wanted to get up, get out, and never come back.

:''I did, to my later shame, make some intemperate remarks to a local fax reporter about "scarlet-arsed forkheads", which didn't go down too well, and did cause some later resentment among other red horned humanoids who heard it. Well. I was young, I was stupid, and I was deeply, deeply pissed off. Still no excuse, though. People are people, whether they're blue, green, red, black, yellow, furry, bald, slimy, chitinous, or floating in a jar.

:''So. There's the whole sorry story. I shook the dust of Gelegeus from my tracks and lit out for brighter stars. I did upgrade my personal systems soon after, which I feel was a good thing: it helped ground me in a sense of who and what I am. And I did put out a general statement of apology for my use of the f-word, which I hope was accepted by horned communities everywhere as an unfortunate outburst under stressful circumstances. Certainly the people of Onenla didn't seem to care; then again, they're a pretty enlightened bunch. I, for one, will not be back again in Gelegeus in this lifetime, so what they think of me there I know little and care even less.

===Media Attention===
[[Image:Space_Madness.png|thumb|right|Blaze O'Glory's TeraScreen advertisement for Mental Fixative]] Blaze O'Glory's rescue and rehabilitation, and his legal tussle with EV-Away!, gained some coverage in a number of pilot newsfeeds. The resulting publicity persuaded [[NeuroCorp]] to use him as the spokesbeing for their psychostabilising medication ''Dr Sigmund Schmigmund's Mental Fixative''.

[[Image:Gelegeusger_Novaar.png|thumb|left|The ''Gelegeusger Novaar'''s version of events]]Several scandal-sheets ran spurious stories concerning his actions on Gelegeus: most notoriously the ''Gelegeusger Novaar'', which claimed that Commander O'Glory had attempted to murder the inhabitants of Gelegeus Coriolis 1 with a cargo-pod full of of nerve gas, and had intended to crash the station onto Miffi, the capital city of the nation of Mifvivanana ("'''The Brain of Death!'''", ''Gelegeusger Novaar'' 1337-47, pp1-23). A retraction was eventually published ("'''3 Down: He's not really a genocidal psychopath (5,6)'''", ''Gelegeusger Novaar'' 1337-58, Junior Jumble pullout supplement, p16).

===Notable Activity===
After he provided assistance to the Ousian Academy of Science's climate control project on Onenla, in Galaxy 2, a small statue of Commander O'Glory was erected in the reception lobby of Onenla Station 1. It was recently moved to the Food Court on Level 4, following a petition by the Onenla Institute of Fine Art.

Disembodied: Removing "off-lane" advice

[[Image:Mr_Gimlet.png|thumb|right|Mr Gimlet, Dockmaster, Lave Coriolis 1]]''“It is an ancient mariner,''
''and he stoppeth one of three...”''

All right there! You just got your pilot’s ticket. Can I just say that your zip-clip there doesn’t do you justice? You’re itching to get off and out into the big black, I can tell; but we just got a few final once-overs before I can stamp that thing legal. Shall we?

So. You got yourself a brand and shiny-new [[Cobra Mk.3 (Oolite)|Cobra Mark III]]. [[Cowell & MgRath|Cowell and MgRath’]]s finest, yes siree: more’n sixty years since the first one rolled off the line right here on Lave, and it’s still one of the best. An all-round ship, you get me? It ain’t the fastest, and it ain’t the strongest, nor the most killing neither, and it definitely ain’t the biggest, by a long shot, but a sweet little number in her own right, no error.

Let’s take a tour around ... Hoo boy, she is ''mint'', ain’t she! I just love that new-ship smell. Take a sniff, go on: yeah, well, most of them long-chain monomers is carcinogenic, so don’t you snort too deep ...

Hah! I’m just funnin’ ya, kid. If pulling a tick from sniffing the command console was all a pilot had to worry about, life would be gravy! No, there’s more’n enough out there to kill you plenty quick, if you don’t watch out, shiny new ship or no.

I see a lot of blanks on this here board ... I’m guessing your ship is, whadda they call it, a basic model, yeah? Legal minimum? Uh-huh, I thought so. Man oh man, they shouldn’t oughta let kids out in a machine like this; it’s a sin, is what it is. Some bandit takes a pop at you, and what you got to hold your end up with? A [[Pulse Laser]]. A Pulse Laser’s one step up from a penlight, kiddo. Oh, it’s a better defence than just harsh language, and there’s always a chance you might be attacked by a really nervous pirate – but seriously: if you ever want to shift that “Harmless” tag you better beef up your armaments, and soon! [[Beam Laser]], minimum. Until then you’d best stick to the cop-end worlds: [[Powers_and_Organisations#Democratic_Worlds|Democracies]] and [[Powers_and_Organisations#Corporate_Worlds|Corporates]], [[Powers_and_Organisations#Confederate_Worlds|Confederacies]] maybe if you’re feeling lucky, you hear me? And remember: your av’rage villain don’t care too much if you live or die, just so long as he gains some out the deal ... right now, by my estimation, you ain’t in no shape to argue your case. So if’n you ''do'' get rolled, you just swallow your pride, drop your cargo, and hope it satisfies. It’s a bitter pill, I know, but poor and living beats rich and dead, every time.

See, right here is what I’m talking about: this is where you need to fit an [[E.C.M._System|ECM]]. Someone locks a [[Missile|missile]] on you, you pop that sucker fast. Oh, I know there’s [[ECM_Hardened_Missile|Hardheads]] out there, shielded missiles proofed against countermeasures, but a good ECM can pop those too, if you’re lucky. You get one of those running on you, you turn tail and run from it as fast as you can. A warhead’s nasty, but no sense in giving it a kinetic advantage too, right? Keep slapping the ECM as you go, if you’ve got the energy for it: if the first burst don’t kill it, maybe the next one will.

Speaking of running ... over here is where you’d control your [[Witch_fuel_injectors|Witchdrive Fuel Injectors]], if’n you had ’em ... dumps fuel straight from the tanks into the drive, and shoots you off like an Oresquan on a hot date. Good for whatever ails ya, from pushing past a [[Pilot%27s_Reference_Manual#Mass_Lock.2FStatus_indicator|mass-lock]] to getting the hell out of town!

Down here, now, this is your [[Fuel_Scoops|Fuel Scoop]] indicator ... huh, “offline”, I see. Sure, sure, you don’t think you’ll ever need to kiss the stars: why bother, when fuel’s cheaper than Celabiler poetry? Well, maybe it’s true, and maybe it ain’t, but anyways this piece of kit scoops up more than just sunshine. There’s scraps and salvage out there, kid, and good money to be had. Skim on over the top and this puppy drops ’em straight into the cargo bay. Pays for itself in no time. Sweeps up [[Escape_Pod|Escape Pods]], too: you get the chance to bring someone safe home, you take it – even if it means dumping some of your own payload to take them on board. Look out for the other guys and they’ll look out for you.

And ... sweet Lord Giles on a gyrospider, they didn’t even fit you out with a [[Docking_Computers|Docking Computer]]! “Optional Extra”, my shiny blue ass ... Oh, sure, manual docking’s easy enough, but there’s a knack to it. You gotta get that knack first, though. Practice it. Before you go anywhere, practice it. Fly out to the station buoy, turn around and come back in again, until you got it pat. And ''match'' the ''rotation'': you put scrapes or dents or a big long greasy smear all over my bay, and I will NOT be pleased ...

Oh, there’s a whole bunch of other junk you can stick on here: a [[Scanner Targeting Enhancement]], for one, if you ever get yourself set up right for a firefight. Even before then, maybe: if you can clock pirates before they start their run on you, that’s half the battle. Well, quarter of the battle. Or a fifth. Some proportion, anyhow. The [[Advanced Space Compass]], too, now that’s a handy doodad to have on board. And an [[Extra Energy Unit]] to boost your recharge. And [[Shield Boosters]], now they’re a no-brainer. And – okay, most of this junk is too high-tech for Lave: you can get most everything at Zaonce, though, just a wormhole away. Dull kinda burg, Zaonce, but they know their quarks from their quaternions. Shouldn’t set you back more’n ten, twenty thou.

You got ''how'' much? One hundred creds. One ... hundred ... creds. Ayoha. All right then. Let’s break it down. Your problem here is financial, not technical. Maybe at bottom it’s psychological, but I’ll give you the benefit.

There’s two types of money, kid: fast, and slow. Fast money comes easy, and slow money comes hard. The slow is sure and steady, though, and the fast, well, it might make you wish you had waited. I’ll run you through them both, and you can make up your own mind.

For the fast money, there’s this sweet and cherry Cobra III: you sell it, right now, you’ll net yourself enough to buy a [[Second-hand ships|second-hand ship]] with enough scratch left over for some half-decent kit. ’Course, some of these second-hand numbers are pretty, well, ''used'', if you know what I mean, and come with problems of their own. I mean, you ever try to take a dump in a head designed for some other guy’s anatomy? And the resale sucks, if’n you ever want to move on up. But it’s an option.

Slow money, now, that’s less chancy. You buy up what’s cheap, you take it to where it’s expensive, and you sell it at a profit. Rinse and repeat. What’s cheap where, and what’s expensive? Supply and demand, kid. Like the philosopher said, “it’s the economy, stupid”. Agricultural worlds produce raw materials like [[Commodities#Minerals|minerals]] and [[Commodities#Radioactives|radioactives]], and the bio-products like [[Commodities#Food|food]], [[Commodities#Textiles|textiles]], [[Commodities#Liquor.2FWines|booze]] and [[Commodities#Furs|furs]], too. Industrial planets make finished goods, like [[Commodities#Luxuries|luxuries]], [[Commodities#Computers|computers]] and [[Commodities#Machinery|machinery]]. So you take the produce of one and you sell it on the other, and chances are you’re making money on the deal. Politics don’t matter squat: farmers need harvesters and factories need feedstock!

O’course, ''money'' matters: rich Industrials are rich because they’ve got the most efficient processes, so not only do they make the cheapest products, their factories are the hungriest and they’ll pay the best prices for raw materials. Poor Agriculturals, on the other hand, they’re most desperate for fine articles and will scrape together whatever they can to pay for ’em: meanwhile, they’ll offer you the cheapest deals anywhere for what they make themselves. Which puts a vicious lock on the poverty trap, but hey: nobody said life was fair. Folks like you who’ve climbed up the gravity well, you’re just filling a need. Buy and sell between rich Industrials and poor Agriculturals, that’s my advice! There’s money to be made elsewhere, no error, but those are the sweetest runs you’re likely to hit on. Bulk is the key, kid: the more you carry, the more you make. This Cobra III here can take twenty tons, right now: for just 400 creds more you can get a [[Cargo_Bay_expansion|Cargo Bay Expansion]] to take you up to thirty-five. That extra fifteen tons of space will pay for itself and more in one good run, if you can fill it up.

It ain’t all bulk, though. Watch the board for cheap deals on precious metals and gemstones: they might not offer the greatest profits, but they don’t take up any cargo space at all. See this safe over here, behind this bulkhead? You take on [[Commodities#Platinum|platinum]], or [[Commodities#Gold|gold]], or a sack of [[Commodities#Gem-Stones|gemstones]] when you’re docked, they go right in here. You can keep ’em here as long as you like, until you find somewhere to offload ’em. [[GalCop|Co-op]] rules stop you dropping too much of ’em, or too much of anything, come to that, in one station – so much for free trade! – but as a slow-burn money-maker there’s not much to beat it. You can buy the shinies cheap off the miners direct, if you run across a [[Rock_hermit|Rock Hermit]]. It’s thirsty work, cracking rocks … you can learn that for yourself, if’n you get a [[Mining_Lasers|Mining Laser]] to go with your Fuel Scoop, and you don’t mind scraping carbon scoring off the scoop every few jumps. Only don’t, for any sake, put the Mining Laser on the nose! It’s a tool, not a weapon.

What “other” products? What you winking for, kid? You mean [[Commodities#Slaves|slaves]], [[Commodities#Narcotics|narcotics]] and [[Commodities#Firearms|firearms]]? Why don’t you just damn well say so? They ain’t illegal. They’s what we call ''controlled'' merchandise. You find ’em out there, you can bring ’em in, much as you want, all nice and legal ... what ''will'' get you into trouble with the [[GalCop|Blues]] is shipping them ''out'' of a main system station.

There’s long-range shipping contracts on offer, too, in some stations: F4 will bring ’em up, if there’s any there. You buy the deal and then get paid a bonus if you make the delivery on time. They’ll be out your price-range just now, and anyway most of ’em call for a bigger cargo-hold than a Cobra can carry. Keep an eye out for any you might be able to do, though; if you build a rep as a reliable carrier then the jobs can get real juicy. And there’s always a few small packets need shifting too: even the smallest ship can stow a few parcels in the cockpit. Remember to check out the route beforehand, though: the destination might be all sweetness and light, but you best see what you might have to swim through first to get there.

That’s slow money, kid: work, save, invest, and work again, that’s what it’s all about! It ain’t pretty but it gets you there in the end.

Huh. Anyhow. I’m a busy frog, I can’t stay here all day filling in every [[Jameson]] on what they should have learned in the spawning pond. Gimme your ticket, kid, and I’ll stamp it flight-ready, though Giles knows I prob’ly shouldn’t ... there ya go. That’s you ready to take on the Witch. Jens help us all ... don’t know enough to keep a level bearing through a wormhole ... what they send up here for us to deal with ... pick up the pieces more like ...

One final tip, kid: I’ll say this ’cos I like ya. It won’t save you work but it will save you time, and it might just save your life, too: if you want to get from the Witchpoint to the station fast, without getting your [[Pilot%27s_Reference_Manual#Torus_Jump_Drive|jumpdrive]] mass-locked by anyone, friendly or otherwise, here’s what you do. Line up on the planet; angle up away from it by near enough ninety degrees; then hit the Torus jumpdrive and scoot on out of the main spacelane for a few hundred klicks or so. Then, when you’ve given yourself enough sky, pull the nose back round and come on down to the station. Chances are you won’t meet a soul, whether you’re cruising into Ensoreus or creeping into Qudira. The spacelanes is where the action is, where there’s help and hostility both; you get nervous, you go off-beam. Most times, you’ll come through safe.

Huh. Anyhow. I’m a busy frog, I can’t stay here all day filling in every [[Jameson]] on what they should have learned in the spawning pond. Gimme your ticket, kid, and I’ll stamp it flight-ready, though Giles knows I prob’ly shouldn’t ... there ya go. That’s you ready to take on the Witch. Jens help us all ... don’t know enough to keep a level bearing through a wormhole ... what they send up here for us to deal with ... pick up the pieces more like ...

Disembodied: Removing ref. to Ore Processor

[[Image:Mr_Gimlet.png|thumb|right|Mr Gimlet, Dockmaster, Lave Coriolis 1]]''“It is an ancient mariner,''
''and he stoppeth one of three...”''

All right there! You just got your pilot’s ticket. Can I just say that your zip-clip there doesn’t do you justice? You’re itching to get off and out into the big black, I can tell; but we just got a few final once-overs before I can stamp that thing legal. Shall we?

So. You got yourself a brand and shiny-new [[Cobra Mk.3 (Oolite)|Cobra Mark III]]. [[Cowell & MgRath|Cowell and MgRath’]]s finest, yes siree: more’n sixty years since the first one rolled off the line right here on Lave, and it’s still one of the best. An all-round ship, you get me? It ain’t the fastest, and it ain’t the strongest, nor the most killing neither, and it definitely ain’t the biggest, by a long shot, but a sweet little number in her own right, no error.

Let’s take a tour around ... Hoo boy, she is ''mint'', ain’t she! I just love that new-ship smell. Take a sniff, go on: yeah, well, most of them long-chain monomers is carcinogenic, so don’t you snort too deep ...

Hah! I’m just funnin’ ya, kid. If pulling a tick from sniffing the command console was all a pilot had to worry about, life would be gravy! No, there’s more’n enough out there to kill you plenty quick, if you don’t watch out, shiny new ship or no.

I see a lot of blanks on this here board ... I’m guessing your ship is, whadda they call it, a basic model, yeah? Legal minimum? Uh-huh, I thought so. Man oh man, they shouldn’t oughta let kids out in a machine like this; it’s a sin, is what it is. Some bandit takes a pop at you, and what you got to hold your end up with? A [[Pulse Laser]]. A Pulse Laser’s one step up from a penlight, kiddo. Oh, it’s a better defence than just harsh language, and there’s always a chance you might be attacked by a really nervous pirate – but seriously: if you ever want to shift that “Harmless” tag you better beef up your armaments, and soon! [[Beam Laser]], minimum. Until then you’d best stick to the cop-end worlds: [[Powers_and_Organisations#Democratic_Worlds|Democracies]] and [[Powers_and_Organisations#Corporate_Worlds|Corporates]], [[Powers_and_Organisations#Confederate_Worlds|Confederacies]] maybe if you’re feeling lucky, you hear me? And remember: your av’rage villain don’t care too much if you live or die, just so long as he gains some out the deal ... right now, by my estimation, you ain’t in no shape to argue your case. So if’n you ''do'' get rolled, you just swallow your pride, drop your cargo, and hope it satisfies. It’s a bitter pill, I know, but poor and living beats rich and dead, every time.

See, right here is what I’m talking about: this is where you need to fit an [[E.C.M._System|ECM]]. Someone locks a [[Missile|missile]] on you, you pop that sucker fast. Oh, I know there’s [[ECM_Hardened_Missile|Hardheads]] out there, shielded missiles proofed against countermeasures, but a good ECM can pop those too, if you’re lucky. You get one of those running on you, you turn tail and run from it as fast as you can. A warhead’s nasty, but no sense in giving it a kinetic advantage too, right? Keep slapping the ECM as you go, if you’ve got the energy for it: if the first burst don’t kill it, maybe the next one will.

Speaking of running ... over here is where you’d control your [[Witch_fuel_injectors|Witchdrive Fuel Injectors]], if’n you had ’em ... dumps fuel straight from the tanks into the drive, and shoots you off like an Oresquan on a hot date. Good for whatever ails ya, from pushing past a [[Pilot%27s_Reference_Manual#Mass_Lock.2FStatus_indicator|mass-lock]] to getting the hell out of town!

Down here, now, this is your [[Fuel_Scoops|Fuel Scoop]] indicator ... huh, “offline”, I see. Sure, sure, you don’t think you’ll ever need to kiss the stars: why bother, when fuel’s cheaper than Celabiler poetry? Well, maybe it’s true, and maybe it ain’t, but anyways this piece of kit scoops up more than just sunshine. There’s scraps and salvage out there, kid, and good money to be had. Skim on over the top and this puppy drops ’em straight into the cargo bay. Pays for itself in no time. Sweeps up [[Escape_Pod|Escape Pods]], too: you get the chance to bring someone safe home, you take it – even if it means dumping some of your own payload to take them on board. Look out for the other guys and they’ll look out for you.

And ... sweet Lord Giles on a gyrospider, they didn’t even fit you out with a [[Docking_Computers|Docking Computer]]! “Optional Extra”, my shiny blue ass ... Oh, sure, manual docking’s easy enough, but there’s a knack to it. You gotta get that knack first, though. Practice it. Before you go anywhere, practice it. Fly out to the station buoy, turn around and come back in again, until you got it pat. And ''match'' the ''rotation'': you put scrapes or dents or a big long greasy smear all over my bay, and I will NOT be pleased ...

Oh, there’s a whole bunch of other junk you can stick on here: a [[Scanner Targeting Enhancement]], for one, if you ever get yourself set up right for a firefight. Even before then, maybe: if you can clock pirates before they start their run on you, that’s half the battle. Well, quarter of the battle. Or a fifth. Some proportion, anyhow. The [[Advanced Space Compass]], too, now that’s a handy doodad to have on board. And an [[Extra Energy Unit]] to boost your recharge. And [[Shield Boosters]], now they’re a no-brainer. And – okay, most of this junk is too high-tech for Lave: you can get most everything at Zaonce, though, just a wormhole away. Dull kinda burg, Zaonce, but they know their quarks from their quaternions. Shouldn’t set you back more’n ten, twenty thou.

You got ''how'' much? One hundred creds. One ... hundred ... creds. Ayoha. All right then. Let’s break it down. Your problem here is financial, not technical. Maybe at bottom it’s psychological, but I’ll give you the benefit.

There’s two types of money, kid: fast, and slow. Fast money comes easy, and slow money comes hard. The slow is sure and steady, though, and the fast, well, it might make you wish you had waited. I’ll run you through them both, and you can make up your own mind.

For the fast money, there’s this sweet and cherry Cobra III: you sell it, right now, you’ll net yourself enough to buy a [[Second-hand ships|second-hand ship]] with enough scratch left over for some half-decent kit. ’Course, some of these second-hand numbers are pretty, well, ''used'', if you know what I mean, and come with problems of their own. I mean, you ever try to take a dump in a head designed for some other guy’s anatomy? And the resale sucks, if’n you ever want to move on up. But it’s an option.

Slow money, now, that’s less chancy. You buy up what’s cheap, you take it to where it’s expensive, and you sell it at a profit. Rinse and repeat. What’s cheap where, and what’s expensive? Supply and demand, kid. Like the philosopher said, “it’s the economy, stupid”. Agricultural worlds produce raw materials like [[Commodities#Minerals|minerals]] and [[Commodities#Radioactives|radioactives]], and the bio-products like [[Commodities#Food|food]], [[Commodities#Textiles|textiles]], [[Commodities#Liquor.2FWines|booze]] and [[Commodities#Furs|furs]], too. Industrial planets make finished goods, like [[Commodities#Luxuries|luxuries]], [[Commodities#Computers|computers]] and [[Commodities#Machinery|machinery]]. So you take the produce of one and you sell it on the other, and chances are you’re making money on the deal. Politics don’t matter squat: farmers need harvesters and factories need feedstock!

O’course, ''money'' matters: rich Industrials are rich because they’ve got the most efficient processes, so not only do they make the cheapest products, their factories are the hungriest and they’ll pay the best prices for raw materials. Poor Agriculturals, on the other hand, they’re most desperate for fine articles and will scrape together whatever they can to pay for ’em: meanwhile, they’ll offer you the cheapest deals anywhere for what they make themselves. Which puts a vicious lock on the poverty trap, but hey: nobody said life was fair. Folks like you who’ve climbed up the gravity well, you’re just filling a need. Buy and sell between rich Industrials and poor Agriculturals, that’s my advice! There’s money to be made elsewhere, no error, but those are the sweetest runs you’re likely to hit on. Bulk is the key, kid: the more you carry, the more you make. This Cobra III here can take twenty tons, right now: for just 400 creds more you can get a [[Cargo_Bay_expansion|Cargo Bay Expansion]] to take you up to thirty-five. That extra fifteen tons of space will pay for itself and more in one good run, if you can fill it up.

It ain’t all bulk, though. Watch the board for cheap deals on precious metals and gemstones: they might not offer the greatest profits, but they don’t take up any cargo space at all. See this safe over here, behind this bulkhead? You take on [[Commodities#Platinum|platinum]], or [[Commodities#Gold|gold]], or a sack of [[Commodities#Gem-Stones|gemstones]] when you’re docked, they go right in here. You can keep ’em here as long as you like, until you find somewhere to offload ’em. [[GalCop|Co-op]] rules stop you dropping too much of ’em, or too much of anything, come to that, in one station – so much for free trade! – but as a slow-burn money-maker there’s not much to beat it. You can mine for ’em yourself, if’n you get a [[Mining_Lasers|Mining Laser]] to go with your Fuel Scoop, and you don’t mind scraping carbon scoring off the scoop every few jumps. Only don’t, for any sake, put the Mining Laser on the nose! It’s a tool, not a weapon. Or you can just buy the shinies cheap off the miners direct, if you run across a [[Rock_hermit|Rock Hermit]]. Powerful fond of liquor, Rock Hermits are, too.

What “other” products? What you winking for, kid? You mean [[Commodities#Slaves|slaves]], [[Commodities#Narcotics|narcotics]] and [[Commodities#Firearms|firearms]]? Why don’t you just damn well say so? They ain’t illegal. They’s what we call ''controlled'' merchandise. You find ’em out there, you can bring ’em in, much as you want, all nice and legal ... what ''will'' get you into trouble with the [[GalCop|Blues]] is shipping them ''out'' of a main system station.

There’s long-range shipping contracts on offer, too, in some stations: F4 will bring ’em up, if there’s any there. You buy the deal and then get paid a bonus if you make the delivery on time. They’ll be out your price-range just now, and anyway most of ’em call for a bigger cargo-hold than a Cobra can carry. Keep an eye out for any you might be able to do, though; if you build a rep as a reliable carrier then the jobs can get real juicy. And there’s always a few small packets need shifting too: even the smallest ship can stow a few parcels in the cockpit. Remember to check out the route beforehand, though: the destination might be all sweetness and light, but you best see what you might have to swim through first to get there.

That’s slow money, kid: work, save, invest, and work again, that’s what it’s all about! It ain’t pretty but it gets you there in the end.

One final tip, kid: I’ll say this ’cos I like ya. It won’t save you work but it will save you time, and it might just save your life, too: if you want to get from the Witchpoint to the station fast, without getting your [[Pilot%27s_Reference_Manual#Torus_Jump_Drive|jumpdrive]] mass-locked by anyone, friendly or otherwise, here’s what you do.

Curse of the Black Sunspot

2013-04-01T16:45:24Z

Disembodied: /* Download */ Updating download to 1.0.2

Curse of the Black Sunspot is a short mission OXP set in a nondescript backwater of Galaxy 3.

It will start when the player is in Galaxy 3 with an Elite rating of
at least Dangerous. The mission involves a couple of tricky fights,
but can be completed with a standard Cobra III.

This is an "informal" mission - no-one is hiring you: there is simply
a situation which you can choose to interact with or avoid. Therefore,
it might take you a while before you find out where to go and what to
do to find the situation. Alternatively, you might accidentally
stumble into it while going about your normal business.

No other OXPs are required, though [[Randomshipnames_OXP|Random Ship Names]] is strongly
recommended, and users of [[Snoopers]] and [[New Cargoes]] will find a few
additional hints about the situation delivered through the messages in
those OXPs (though nothing you can't find out through other sources).

Many thanks to Solonar and Diziet Sma for beta testing and feedback.

==Download==
This OXP requires Oolite 1.77 or later. Shaders are used in a few places for improved graphics, but the OXP can be played without them.

Download [http://compsoc.dur.ac.uk/~cim/oolite/Curse_of_the_Black_Sunspot_1.0.2.zip COTBS 1.0.2] and install to your AddOns folder in the usual way.

Mr Gimlet

Disembodied: Updating to include parcels contracts, and F4 key (for 1.77)

[[Image:Mr_Gimlet.png|thumb|right|Mr Gimlet, Dockmaster, Lave Coriolis 1]]''“It is an ancient mariner,''
''and he stoppeth one of three...”''

All right there! You just got your pilot’s ticket. Can I just say that your zip-clip there doesn’t do you justice? You’re itching to get off and out into the big black, I can tell; but we just got a few final once-overs before I can stamp that thing legal. Shall we?

So. You got yourself a brand and shiny-new [[Cobra Mk.3 (Oolite)|Cobra Mark III]]. [[Cowell & MgRath|Cowell and MgRath’]]s finest, yes siree: more’n sixty years since the first one rolled off the line right here on Lave, and it’s still one of the best. An all-round ship, you get me? It ain’t the fastest, and it ain’t the strongest, nor the most killing neither, and it definitely ain’t the biggest, by a long shot, but a sweet little number in her own right, no error.

Let’s take a tour around... Hoo boy, she is ''mint'', ain’t she! I just love that new-ship smell. Take a sniff, go on: yeah, well, most of them long-chain monomers is carcinogenic, so don’t you snort too deep...

Hah! I’m just funnin’ ya, kid. If pulling a tick from sniffing the command console was all a pilot had to worry about, life would be gravy! No, there’s more’n enough out there to kill you plenty quick, if you don’t watch out, shiny new ship or no.

I see a lot of blanks on this here board... I’m guessing your ship is, whadda they call it, a basic model, yeah? Legal minimum? Uh-huh, I thought so. Man oh man, they shouldn’t oughta let kids out in a machine like this; it’s a sin, is what it is. Some bandit takes a pop at you, and what you got to hold your end up with? A [[Pulse Laser]]. A Pulse Laser’s one step up from a penlight, kiddo. Oh, it’s a better defence than just harsh language, and there’s always a chance you might be attacked by a really nervous pirate – but seriously: if you ever want to shift that “Harmless” tag you better beef up your armaments, and soon! [[Beam Laser]], minimum. Until then you’d best stick to the cop-end worlds: [[Powers_and_Organisations#Democratic_Worlds|Democracies]] and [[Powers_and_Organisations#Corporate_Worlds|Corporates]], [[Powers_and_Organisations#Confederate_Worlds|Confederacies]] maybe if you’re feeling lucky, you hear me? You stay sharp, and maybe you’ll stay alive.

See, right here is what I’m talking about: this is where you need to fit an [[E.C.M._System|ECM]]. Someone locks a [[Missile|missile]] on you, you pop that sucker fast. Oh, I know there’s [[ECM_Hardened_Missile|Hardheads]] out there, shielded missiles proofed against countermeasures, but a good ECM can pop those too, if you’re lucky. You get one of those running on you, you turn tail and run from it as fast as you can. A warhead’s nasty, but no sense in giving it a kinetic advantage too, right? Keep slapping the ECM as you go, if you’ve got the energy for it: if the first burst don’t kill it, maybe the next one will.

Speaking of running... over here is where you’d control your [[Witch_fuel_injectors|Witchdrive Fuel Injectors]], if’n you had ’em... dumps fuel straight from the tanks into the drive, and shoots you off like an Oresquan on a hot date. Good for whatever ails ya, from pushing past a [[Pilot%27s_Reference_Manual#Mass_Lock.2FStatus_indicator|mass-lock]] to getting the hell out of town!

Down here, now, this is your [[Fuel_Scoops|Fuel Scoop]] indicator... huh, “offline”, I see. Sure, sure, you don’t think you’ll ever need to kiss the stars: why bother, when fuel’s cheaper than Celabiler poetry? Well, maybe it’s true, and maybe it ain’t, but anyways this piece of kit scoops up more than just sunshine. There’s scraps and salvage out there, kid, and good money to be had. Skim on over the top and this puppy drops ’em straight into the cargo bay. Pays for itself in no time. Sweeps up [[Escape_Pod|Escape Pods]], too: you get the chance to bring someone safe home, you take it – even if it means dumping some of your own payload to take them on board. Look out for the other guys and they’ll look out for you.

And... sweet Lord Giles on a gyrospider, they didn’t even fit you out with a [[Docking_Computers|Docking Computer]]! “Optional Extra”, my shiny blue ass... Oh, sure, manual docking’s easy enough, but there’s a knack to it. You gotta get that knack first, though. Practice it. Before you go anywhere, practice it. Fly out to the station buoy, turn around and come back in again, until you got it pat. And ''match'' the ''rotation'': you put scrapes or dents or a big long greasy smear all over my bay, and I will NOT be pleased...

Oh, there’s a whole bunch of other shit you can stick on here: a [[Scanner Targeting Enhancement]], for one, if you ever get yourself set up right for a firefight. Even before then, maybe: if you can clock pirates before they start their run on you, that’s half the battle. Well, quarter of the battle. Or a fifth. Some proportion, anyhow. The [[Advanced Space Compass]], too, now that’s a handy doodad to have on board. And an [[Extra Energy Unit]] to boost your recharge. And [[Shield Boosters]], now they’re a no-brainer. And – okay, most of this junk is too high-tech for Lave: you can get most everything at Zaonce, though, just a wormhole away. Dull kinda burg, Zaonce, but they know their quarks from their quaternions. Shouldn’t set you back more’n ten, twenty thou.

You got ''how'' much? One hundred creds. One ... hundred ... creds. Ayoha. All right then. Let’s break it down. Your problem here is financial, not technical. Maybe at bottom it’s psychological, but I’ll give you the benefit.

There’s two types of money, kid: fast, and slow. Fast money comes easy, and slow money comes hard. The slow is sure and steady, though, and the fast, well, it might make you wish you had waited. I’ll run you through them both, and you can make up your own mind.

First of all, for the fast money, there’s this sweet and cherry Cobra III: you sell it, right now, you’ll net yourself enough to buy a [[Second-hand ships|second-hand ship]] with enough scratch left over for some half-decent kit. ’Course, some of these second-hand numbers are pretty, well, ''used'', if you know what I mean, and come with problems of their own. I mean, you ever try to take a dump in a head designed for some other guy’s anatomy? And the resale sucks, if’n you ever want to move on up. But it’s an option.

Second, now, there’s the... ah, let me just check that we’re alone here... okay: there’s the [[Black_Monk_Monastary|Black Monks]]. Great guys, I’d like to make that clear, absolutely: most fine and upstanding! They’ll be happy to loan you what you need to get you started. They’re a not-for-profit organisation, a charity, really, but what with overheads and all they do have to charge a wee bit of interest on any loans they make: and they are keen – eager, even – to see that they get paid back. You take a loan from them, you make every gram of cargo pay, every time. Work hard though and it can be done: in all my years I’ve never met anyone who defaulted on a loan from the Bank of St Herod. Not one. Ever.

Slow money, now, that’s less chancy. You buy up what’s cheap, you take it to where it’s expensive, and you sell it at a profit. Rinse and repeat. What’s cheap where, and what’s expensive? Supply and demand, kid. Like the philosopher said, “it’s the economy, stupid”. Agricultural worlds produce raw materials like [[Commodities#Minerals|minerals]], [[Commodities#Alloys|metals]] and [[Commodities#Radioactives|radioactives]], and the bio-products like [[Commodities#Food|food]], [[Commodities#Textiles|textiles]], [[Commodities#Liquor.2FWines|booze]] and [[Commodities#Furs|furs]], too. Industrial planets make finished goods, like [[Commodities#Luxuries|luxuries]], [[Commodities#Computers|computers]] and [[Commodities#Machinery|machinery]]. So you take the produce of one and you sell it on the other, and chances are you’re making money on the deal. Politics don’t matter squat: farmers need harvesters and factories need feedstock!

O’course, ''money'' matters: rich Industrials are rich because they’ve got the most efficient processes, so not only do they make the cheapest products, their factories are the hungriest and they’ll pay the best prices for raw materials. Poor Agriculturals, on the other hand, they’re most desperate for fine articles and will scrape together whatever they can to pay for ’em: meanwhile, they’ll offer you the cheapest deals anywhere for what they make themselves. Which puts a vicious lock on the poverty trap, but hey: nobody said life was fair. Folks like you who’ve climbed up the gravity well, you’re just filling a need. Buy and sell between rich Industrials and poor Agriculturals, that’s my advice! There’s money to be made elsewhere, no error, but those are the sweetest runs you’re likely to hit on. Bulk is the key, kid: the more you carry, the more you make. This Cobra III here can take twenty tons, right now: for just 400 creds more you can get a [[Cargo_Bay_expansion|Cargo Bay Expansion]] to take you up to thirty-five. That extra fifteen tons of space will pay for itself and more in one good run, if you can fill it up.

It ain’t all bulk, though. Watch the board for cheap deals on precious metals and gemstones: they might not offer the greatest profits, but they don’t take up any cargo space at all. See this safe over here, behind this bulkhead? You take on [[Commodities#Platinum|platinum]], or [[Commodities#Gold|gold]], or a sack of [[Commodities#Gem-Stones|gemstones]] when you’re docked, they go right in here. You can keep ’em here as long as you like, until you find somewhere to offload ’em. [[GalCop|Co-op]] rules stop you dropping too much of ’em, or too much of anything, come to that, in one station – so much for free trade! – but as a slow-burn money-maker there’s not much to beat it. You can mine for ’em yourself, if’n you get a [[Mining_Lasers|Mining Laser]] and an [[Ore Processor]] to go with your Fuel Scoop, and you don’t mind scraping carbon scoring off the scoop every few jumps. Only don’t, for any sake, put the Mining Laser on the nose! It’s a tool, not a weapon. Or you can just buy the shinies cheap off the miners direct, if you run across a [[Rock_hermit|Rock Hermit]]. Powerful fond of liquor, Rock Hermits are, too.

What “other” products? What you winking for, kid? You mean [[Commodities#Slaves|slaves]], [[Commodities#Narcotics|narcotics]] and [[Commodities#Firearms|firearms]]? Why don’t you just damn well say so? They ain’t illegal. They’s what we call ''controlled'' merchandise. Bring as much of ’em in as you want... what ''will'' get you into trouble with the Blues is shipping them out of a main system station. But there’s plenty of other places to buy ’em up, all nice and legal, along with reg’lar trade goods, too. Some of the [[Powers_and_Organisations#Communist_Worlds|Commie]] worlds have [[SLAPU|Slap-Yous]] and [[CZGF|Cee-Zed-Gee-Effs]], whatever the hell they all are, and [[Astro_Mines|Astro-Gulags]] too, which are just plain depressing. Some industrial [[Powers_and_Organisations#Dictatorship_Worlds|Dictatorship]] systems, they got [[Imperial_AstroFactory|Imperial AstroFactories]], although some of ’em seem to sell stuff they don’t ever make... go figure. And some spots, if they got the population size to make it worthwhile, there’s [[Pi-42|Convenience Stores]] way out by the Witchpoint. You want to give these guys a try, you sail on in. Check the system prices first, note down what you got yourself, see what’s on offer, and do the sums.

There’s long-range shipping contracts on offer, too, in some stations: F4 will bring ’em up, if there’s any there. You buy the deal and then get paid a bonus if you make the delivery on time. They’ll be out your price-range just now, and anyway most of ’em call for a bigger cargo-hold than a Cobra can carry. Keep an eye out for any you might be able to do, though; if you build a rep as a reliable carrier then the jobs can get real juicy. And there’s always a few small packets need shifting too: even the smallest ship can stow a few parcels in the cockpit. Remember to check out the route beforehand, though: the destination might be all sweetness and light, but see what you have to swim through first to get there.

That’s slow money, kid: work, save, invest, and work again, that’s what it’s all about! It ain’t pretty but it gets you there in the end.

One final tip, kid: I’ll say this ’cos I like ya. It won’t save you work but it will save you time, and it might just save your life, too: if you want to get from the Witchpoint to the station fast, without getting your [[Pilot%27s_Reference_Manual#Torus_Jump_Drive|jumpdrive]] mass-locked by anyone, friendly or otherwise, here’s what you do. Line up on the planet; angle up away from it by near enough ninety degrees; then hit the Torus jumpdrive and scoot on out of the main spacelane for a few hundred klicks or so. Then, when you’ve given yourself enough sky, pull the nose back round and come on down to the station. Chances are you won’t meet a soul, whether you’re cruising into Ensoreus or creeping into Qudira. The spacelanes is where the action is, where there’s help and hostility both; you get nervous, you go off-beam. Most times, you’ll come through safe.

Huh. Anyhow. I’m a busy frog, I can’t stay here all day filling in every [[Jameson]] on what they should have learned in the spawning pond. Gimme your ticket, kid, and I’ll stamp it flight-ready, though Giles knows I prob’ly shouldn’t... there ya go. That’s you ready to take on the Witch. Jens help us all... don’t know enough to keep a level bearing through a wormhole... what they send up here for us to deal with... pick up the pieces more like...

This is where you'll find Fan Fiction all based in the Oolite Universe.

== Alien Items, the Oolite Anthology ==

[[Image:AlienItems.jpg|thumb|right|150px|The Cover of Alien Items]]

[[Alien Items]] is a collection of short stories set in the Ooniverse, written between 2006 and 2012. Various authors are represented including Dylan Smith, Blaze O' Glory, El Viejo, DaddyHoggy, Commander Wyvern, Ganelon and Drew Wagar.

== Drew Wagar ==

[[Image:Status_Quo_Edition_2_Cover_Small.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Status Quo. Cover by Neil Badman]]

[[Status_Quo|Status Quo]] (2006) - The first story in the [[Oolite Saga]]. “A brilliant scientist uncovers a terrifying plot to begin a galactic war. Aided by a talented, but reluctant and embittered combateer, he must stop the deployment of a super weapon he invented. A weapon so powerful it threatens to destroy entire worlds.”

''Elite came with a Novella called 'The Dark Wheel', which set the scene for the game. 'Status Quo' aims to do the same thing for 'Oolite', introducing Commander Jamesons to the 'Ooniverse'...''

[[Image:Mutabilisneilbadman.png|thumb|right|150px|Mutabilis. Cover by Neil Badman]]

[[Mutabilis]] (2008) - The second story in the [[Oolite Saga]]. “When a series of linked murders forces GalCop to outlaw the shadow organisation known as ‘The Dark Wheel’, a mysterious top secret document must be found in order to stave off a galactic conflict. The document contains a devastating secret; the key to domination, power and control. A secret as old as space itself, the location of the legendary planet ‘Raxxla’”.

'''Mutabilis' is the sequel to 'Status Quo' and also introduces readers to the adventures of [[User:Captain_Hesperus|Captain Hesperus]]. Further accounts of this roguish character can be found in the [[Calliope]] story below...''

[[Incursio]] (2011) - The third story in the [[Oolite Saga]]. “When a deadly alien attack is launched across the galaxy, humankind finds itself under-prepared and overwhelmed. As star systems begin to fall, privateers take up the battle alongside the military forces and a desperate plan is hatched to stop the invaders once and for all, before humanity is eradicated.”

'''Incursio' picks up the story eleven years later and also feature avatars from the Oolite forum: Daddyhoggy, Hesperus, Udian, Coyote, Derik, Cheyd and Maik.''

[[Finis]] (2011) - The fourth and final part of the [[Oolite Saga]]. "With the alien menace poised to overthrow the galaxy a lone group of combateers is all that that stands between them and total annihilation. When one of their number is kidnapped by the aliens and their plans thwarted, the group must decide whether to mount a rescue and risk losing the war, or sacrifice her for the greater good of humankind…"

The Oolite Saga has its own [http://www.facebook.com/drewwagarwriter fan page on Facebook].''

Drew has also written a number of short stories for the Oolite Universe…

[[Schism]] (2007) - ”Lumbering through the deeps of space are the Generation Ships; huge self contained transports driving between the stars at sublight speeds in the midst of thousand year journeys to populate new planets. After 30 generations, a staggering and devastating truth is revealed to the occupants of one such ship…”

[[Nine]] (2009) - “The story of an attempt to reach the ‘ninth’ chart. As players familiar with Elite and Oolite will doubtless know there are only eight charts reachable by Galactic Hyperspace. Does the ninth chart exist? Can it be reached? If so, what’s there? This is a slightly chilling tale of the ‘Ooniverse’…”

[[Ascension]] (2009) - ”A tale of what might happen when an example of sophisticated technology is suddenly thrust upon a backward culture steeped in religion.”

[[Replay]] (2009) - “Difficult to describe even in summary without giving away the plot. It’s only three and a half pages long, so won’t take you long! Enjoy!”

[[Family]] (2009) - “an excellent battle and nice interaction between Kemi and the Princess.”

[http://www.alioth.net/Fiction/oolitestory.pdf The Virtuous Misfortune] (2006) - Dylan wrote the first short story for Oolite. A salutary warning in terms of who and how to fight, and what cargoes are safe to carry...
 

== Blaze O'Glory ==

[[Calliope]] (2009) - An episode from the unorthodox life of [[User:Captain_Hesperus|Captain Hesperus]]. Money is short, the engines are failing, and there's soup on the ceiling ...

==Blaze O'Glory==

Commander "Blaze O'Glory" is the current pseudonym of an individual with a, to say the least, murky past. More than twenty years ago, it appears he was a starship pilot who suffered some form of mishap and was forced to eject. A series of failures in the escape pod systems – possibly damaged in the attack or accident – put the pod into a highly eccentric elliptical orbit around the star. By sheer chance the pod, now pitted by micrometeorites and scoured by solar radiation, was picked up a couple of years ago. The pod was turned over to the Moray Medicals, who, to their surprise and growing horror, discovered that the occupant was still alive.

The internal life-support mechanisms had been radically altered. Resyk units had been patched, recircuited and reprioritised, mated in desperate ways with the onboard autodoc, and stretched far beyond their design limits. The pilot was, indeed, alive: but no closed system is 100% efficient. Over the years the machinery had been forced to cannibalise all available resources to maintain core brain activity. "All available resources" ... you don't need legs to live, or arms; or skin; or flesh; or bones. Then one major organ system after another had been consumed, their functions taken over by mechanical processes. By the time rescue came, the pilot had been stripped down, piece by piece, reduced – simplified – to a nervous system and nothing else, held suspended in a soupy fluid within a pressure suit.

The motto of the Moray Medicals is "Never Say Die". This case tested it to its fullest. Eventually, however, with infinite patience, they excised this bundle of nerves from its warped cocoon and placed it in a specially-designed suspensor tank, meshed into sensor webs and a set of basic manipulators. Then they handed it over to the Psychs – and hit the local bars, hard.

The pilot's original personality and memories were almost wholly gone. But radical egosurgery and experimental wetware did manage to coax a functioning, and to all intents and purposes sane, individual from the remains.

[[Image:radiomaru.png|thumb|right|The ''Radio Maru'' leaves orbit]]A long-running legal battle ensued between the Medicals, the disembodied brain (now referring to itself as "Blaze O'Glory", which caused the Psychs some concern) and EV-Away!, the manufacturers of his escape pod. The pod's black-box recorder had been cooked, and there was no record of who the pilot actually was, how much his insurance policy should pay out, or if it was even still valid. Eventually, suffering from increasing bad publicity, the manufacturers caved in and agreed to settle out of court. The medical bills were paid, and Blaze O'Glory was given a basic ship and 100 creds. EV-Away! had at first suggested a Worm, but O'Glory stuck to his guns and held out for a minimum-spec Cobra Mk III, which he named the ''Potage Électrique''. His pilot's skills, although perhaps – who can say? – not what they used to be, seem at least adequate: he's made it to Elite, and has fought and traded his way up to a cherry-red Wolf Mark II SE, the ''Radio Maru'', too. Clamped into the fabric of the ship, and wired directly to the controls, he's carving out a new life for himself across the quadrant.

===Elite Rating===
'''***ELITE***'''

===Legal Status===
Blaze O'Glory is currently rated '''Clean'''. His record contains one misdemeanor, now expired, for launching from a GalCo-op station with a ton of Narcotics on board. He was briefly listed as '''Fugitive – Most Wanted – Shoot on Sight''' following an incident on Gelegeus in Galaxy 1. O'Glory was arrested and charged with '''Creating Alarm and Despond''', '''Disrupting the Orderly Operation of the Station''', '''Impersonating a Hostile Intelligence''', and '''Trading in Sub-Standard Goods (Liquors, Wines and Beverages subsection)'''. He was found Not Guilty on all counts. An attempt by Commander O'Glory to sue the station for wrongful arrest was dismissed by the Gelegeus Merchants' Court.

====The Gelegeus Incident====
O'Glory has published his own account of the events on Gelegeus:

:''Oh dear. I'd hoped that people had forgotten about that embarrassing little episode. Really, it was a long time ago, and was nothing more than a stupid misunderstanding that's been blown out of all proportion. I suppose I should set the record straight.

:''I was pretty raw back then, both as a pilot and as an individual. I was still flying my first ship, the ''Potage Électrique'', a [[Cobra_Mk.3_%28Oolite%29|Cobra III]], and I was still finding out about myself. Was I a hard-working trader? A sundogging space bum? A stone-cold killer? Of course, now I realise that these crude categories don't really describe anyone, but in the early days I was just the basic core of a personality, built up from wetware wafers and pseudo-experiences, grafted onto whatever rudimentary neural structures remained from whoever was in here before me. I was seeking some kind of definition.

:''Anyway, I'd fitted out the ''Potage Électrique'' with a [[Military_Lasers|military laser]] and upped her shields. I'd had a few firefights before, of course, but on a small scale and in self-defence only. Now I was off looking for trouble.

:''Gelegeus and its neighbouring systems (Zaleriza, anarchy; Xeenle, anarchy; Eszaraxe, anarchy; Isveve, anarchy; Xeesenri, anarchy) is a good place to find that. Honestly, the whole sector is in chaos; there must be something in the background radiation. So in I went, and although I gave as good as I got, and then some – pushed my ratings all the way up from "Average" to "Competent" in five jumps – I scared myself silly in the process. I'll fight, if it comes down to it, and kill if I have to, but I take no joy in it. I was not, it would seem, a pirate, assassin or bounty-hunter. I decided to get out while I was still in one piece, and headed for Biisza, the only island of sanity in the whole volume.

:''To get there, though, I had to head through Gelegeus. It's a [[Powers_and_Organisations#Multi-Government_Worlds|multi-government]] system, a backwards little poor agricultural. I wish I'd just sunskimmed and headed on for Biisza, but there was a "[[Free Trade Zone]]" lurking between me and the star so I ran in to the main station instead.

:''Well that was a ropey run and no mistake. I fought through a five-way furball, dealt with a lone-wolf [[Asp_%28Oolite%29|Asp]], and got jumped by a [[Fer-de-Lance_%28Oolite|Fer-de-Lance]] and his two [[Cobra_Mk.1_%28Oolite%29|Cobra 1]] friends all in the space of three hundred klicks. As the dust cleared, and I was setting up to collect some cargo, I spotted two [[Iguana_%28Oolite%29|Iguanas]], a [[Cat_%28Oolite%29|Cat]] and a big [[Python_%28Oolite%29|Black Dog]] sliding in. Being somewhat beat up, I decided that discretion was the better part of valour, and survival was the cherry on the top. I hightailed it out on my [[Witch_fuel_injectors|injectors]]. Fortunately they were too busy reaping the rewards of my hard labours to bother with more than a token pursuit.

:''So by the time I got into Gelegeus station, I was in a pretty foul mood. It got worse after I discovered that the local scutters weren't remotely qualified to carry out any of the necessary repairs. Then I received a demand to explain a discrepancy in my bill of lading; a cannister of [[Commodities#Luxuries|luxury goods]] which I'd had in there had been destroyed in the fighting, but the Gelegeusians were claiming it was still there and was actually [[Commodities#Liquor.2FWines|liquor and wines]]. Basically, a whole good ton of Solageonian Tree-Wolf musk had been blown all over the inside of the cargo bay, but the dock crew were prepared to drink the residue so as far as they were concerned it was booze. I told them that if they wanted to drink it, they were welcome and with my blessing, as long as they finished servicing the ''Potage Électrique'' first. Okay and thank you, came the reply, but could I just indent the bill – manually, of all things. I told you they were backwards.

:''Fine. Right. I popped the canopy and trundled out onto the wing of the ''Potage'': and that's when all hell broke loose. Suddenly there was screaming and shouting, and klaxons going off all over; scutters were bumping into each other, blast-doors were clanging down and a bunch of local Blues came charging out waving a goddam EMpulser, screaming about an outbreak and ordering everyone to crash their systems. Well, I turned around to get back into the cockpit and purge the computer when the bastards opened up – on me.

:''I locked up dead. My core systems were shielded, of course, but I was still in my original basic transport body. My manipulators, my treads, my communications, my sensorium, all got pulled down by the EMP. I was caught in frozen darkness: no sound, no sight, no sensation at all, just me and my neurons, all on our ownsome, for what seemed like an eternity but probably wasn't much longer than a couple of hours.

:''They don't get many cyborgs through there; certainly none as radical as yours truly. Turned out that somebody, some half-witted hick farmer in the control booth who read too much science fiction, had clocked me for an autonomous AI, a rogue robot about to inject an uplift virus into the station systems and fling Gelegeus into a singularity event. Like I said, backwards. Anyway, to cover their embarrassment, and probably to forestall any lawsuit on my part, they charged me with "Impersonating a Hostile Intelligence", "Creating Alarm and Despond", and "Disrupting the Orderly Operation of the Station". Oh, and "Trading in Sub-Standard Goods (Liquors, Wines and Beverages subsection)", too. They actually put me on trial, would you believe, after first fitting me out with a replacement sensorium (black-and-white, it was, and pretty damn grainy) and a voicebox that made me sound like I was gargling gravel. At least they managed to repair my transport body: at one point it looked like they were going to have to wheel me into the courtroom on a cart. This is where all that "Fugitive" nonsense comes from; before the trial, the ''Potage'' was impounded and my transponder was clicked up to a stupidly high criminal rating to prevent me "fleeing justice". Standard practice on Gelegeus, apparently: given that their Blues are so damn incompetent it's probably even a good idea.

:''The whole charade collapsed when it came to court, of course. The charges were dropped, my legal status returned to normal, and my good name restored (although not, I see, before the rumour-mills started to spin all manner of nonsense about me...). I did raise the issue of compensation, but that proved a non-starter: it was, apparently, an "honest mistake" and everyone concerned had "followed operational protocol". I thought briefly about pushing it – but I'd already spend far too many days of my brief life in numbing courtroom battles. I just wanted to get up, get out, and never come back.

:''I did, to my later shame, make some intemperate remarks to a local fax reporter about "scarlet-arsed forkheads", which didn't go down too well, and did cause some later resentment among other red horned humanoids who heard it. Well. I was young, I was stupid, and I was deeply, deeply pissed off. Still no excuse, though. People are people, whether they're blue, green, red, black, yellow, furry, bald, slimy, chitinous, or floating in a jar.

:''So. There's the whole sorry story. I shook the dust of Gelegeus from my tracks and lit out for brighter stars. I did upgrade my personal systems soon after, which I feel was a good thing: it helped ground me in a sense of who and what I am. And I did put out a general statement of apology for my use of the f-word, which I hope was accepted by horned communities everywhere as an unfortunate outburst under stressful circumstances. Certainly the people of Onenla didn't seem to care; then again, they're a pretty enlightened bunch. I, for one, will not be back again in Gelegeus in this lifetime, so what they think of me there I know little and care even less.

===Media Attention===
[[Image:Space_Madness.png|thumb|right|Blaze O'Glory's TeraScreen advertisement for Mental Fixative]] Blaze O'Glory's rescue and rehabilitation, and his legal tussle with EV-Away!, gained some coverage in a number of pilot newsfeeds. The resulting publicity persuaded [[NeuroCorp]] to use him as the spokesbeing for their psychostabilising medication ''Dr Sigmund Schmigmund's Mental Fixative''.

[[Image:Gelegeusger_Novaar.png|thumb|left|The ''Gelegeusger Novaar'''s version of events]]Several scandal-sheets ran spurious stories concerning his actions on Gelegeus: most notoriously the ''Gelegeusger Novaar'', which claimed that Commander O'Glory had attempted to murder the inhabitants of Gelegeus Coriolis 1 with a cargo-pod full of of nerve gas, and had intended to crash the station onto Miffi, the capital city of the nation of Mifvivanana ("'''The Brain of Death!'''", ''Gelegeusger Novaar'' 1337-47, pp1-23). A retraction was eventually published ("'''3 Down: He's not really a genocidal psychopath (5,6)'''", ''Gelegeusger Novaar'' 1337-58, Junior Jumble pullout supplement, p16).

===Notable Activity===
After he provided assistance to the Ousian Academy of Science's climate control project on Onenla, in Galaxy 2, a small statue of Commander O'Glory was erected in the reception lobby of Onenla Station 1. It was recently moved to the Food Court on Level 4, following a petition by the Onenla Institute of Fine Art.

===Publications===
[[Image:RGcoverwiki.jpg|thumb|right|''The Rough Guide to the Ooniverse'']]O'Glory edited the first six entries to [[Rough Guide|''The Rough Guide to the Ooniverse'']] and wrote the short story [http://www.box.net/shared/3dob2hvj9a|''Local Midnight in the Vacuum Bar'']. He is also listed as the "author" of the lightly-fictionalised "[[User:Captain_Hesperus|Captain Hesperus]] adventures", ''[[Calliope]]'' and ''[[Stranglehold]]''.

''"A dull world says the register. In 2513 a large freighter broke down in orbit around this planet. The people had to leave the ship. The colonials built an underground base called New London as the whole surface of the planet is covered with snow and Ice. Day temperature varies between -22C to -40C but in the night the temperature drops sometimes below -55C."''

[[Image:Beusriormap.jpg]]

X23-BO 'Goliath' was a generation ship or freighter. It's how you call it. A navigational error caused the large ship (which did not have atmospheric capabilities) to enter too low an orbit. In 2513 the 'Goliath' plunged down with 3500 people on board. They were not lucky as they fell into the New-London Canyon. This canyon is about 9000 km long and ends in the so called New London crater.

The impact was hard. Thankfully due to the sturdy construction of the ship a few people survived. They found themselves in a harsh Arctic climate. After surviving the first 'Winter' the temperatures raised enough to organize an expedition. The second expedition exploded the New London Crater. They found a large cave network. The next year found the crew moving all the equipment to the cave. The crew were lucky that the lab and the engineering sections of the Goliath were only lightly damaged. After 2 years the cave network featured living quarters, workshops, a greenhouse (largely stripped out of the 'garden' section of the 'Goliath'. After 3 years the crew engineered an efficient climate system inside the caves. The underground city kept expanding and expanding. Nowadays the underground network spans the whole planet. The main entry and space-port remains in the New London Crater. An automated landing system leads shuttles, transports and traders to the docking platforms.

''"Reinen: a farmers' planet in true tradition. The visitor even can see the crops from outer space. Natural resources are now exhausted and therefore Reinen nowadays specialises in biotechnology. They sell all sorts of farming equipment and therefore the planet now rates as an average agricultural. The capital city New Boorlin hosts the yearly Galaxy 1 Beerfesten which attracts drinkers from all over the universe."''

''"This planet is a tedious little planet."''

Reinen is yet another one of those planets with an undeserved reputation for being "tedious" thanks in part to the Galactic Catalogue. Certainly your typical native of Reinen (or ''Reinlander'') can be quite grave and humorless when there is work to be done; however, few planets truly know how to unwind quite like Reinen does, and to those in the know, the great Neu BOorlin Bierfest is one of the most prestigious events in the Great Eight.

The Bierfest is an old tradition that goes back to the original colonists' roots on faraway Earth. It is held over the course of two weeks in the harvest season and features such attractions as carnival rides, local folk music, tasty traditional cuisine, and, of course, copious amounts of Reinenian Quuma-Beer. Though it lacks the alcoholic kick of much harder liquors popular elsewhere, it is commonly acclaimed by gourmets one of the smoothest and tastiest beverages in the Galaxy, consistently appearing in Top Ten Beverage lists compiled by great gastronomic and culinary experts from across space and attracting gourmet pilgrims from as far afield as Tianve to the festival. Quuma-Beer is one of Reinen's most lucrative exports, though most of the stock tends to be quickly bought up at a scandalous discount by nearby Xexedi for resale in its own high-price restaurants or consumption in exclusive executive drinking clubs.

The Bierfest is only one aspect (though certainly the most well-known) of Reinen's agrarian culture. The planet has little heavy industry - the vast majority of its few mineral resources have been largely stripped away to fuel the booming industries of Xexedi and Lerelace - and most manufactured goods are either imports or products built strictly for the domestic market by regional craft guilds. Most of Reinen's surface is given over to farmland, which mostly grows a variety of staple crops (including the quumatriticale grain used in Quuma Beer). The common Reinlander stereotype is one of an independent, small-time freeholder; though a significant portion of the land is now in the hands of corporations and the regional governments, the majority is still owned by individuals or family farms, and having a plot to call one's own is still a dream for many (though fewer than in previous generations). Reinlanders are also notably very civic-minded; indeed, the term "Reinlander" itself is more one of convenience than allegiance, as most natives self-identify with their ''Land'' (province) or ''Kanton'' (township) before the planet itself. The planet is technically governed by a loose confederation of all the ''Lands''; however, each ''Land'' is given broad leeway in making its own laws and regulations so long as they do not violate the Charter of Confederation. It's probably better to think of the Reinen Confederacy as an alliance or an economic association than as a government ''per se''.

In general, life on Reinen is fairly relaxed compared to that on many other worlds of the Ooniverse. The locals are friendly, the beer is good, and the days go by at a leisurely pace. Perhaps for those used to a fast-paced life of adventure, Reinen is indeed "a tedious little planet"; however, for the veteran spacer looking for somewhere to retire, or at least a place to cool his heels, the planet is an ideal stopping point.

''The Jungle world of Aronar. The most dangerous passage on the Spaceway L1 to Lerelace. The landscape is dominated by a jungle covered supercontinent. Deep in the woods the Aronar Deadly Goat has its habitat. They are deadly because of their size. 2 times as large as normal goats. Every village on Aronar houses a local Hoopy Casino. Gambling is a religion on Aronar. Every citizen of Aronar gambles before dinner''

"Aronar is most famous for the Aronarian deadly goat and its hoopy casinos."

The planet of Aronar is home to one of the most unusual cultures in the Ooniverse. On the one hand, the people are very conservative and spiritual, believing for the most part in the Fundamental Tenets of the Word of Giles, including the admonitions against excess material wealth. On the other hand, the entire planet seems to suffer from a collective compulsive gambling habit. Casinos, gambling halls, race courses and tournament fields seem to be on every street corner, and passions for the hobby run so deep that two Aronarians will often make casual bets on such matters as which of two raindrops will reach the bottom windowpane first. The casual observer is often left standing in wonder how these two seemingly contradictory facets of society can exist in harmony. The secret lies in a peculiar idea known locally as "the Wheel of Fortune."

The Wheel of Fortune's basic principle is that the souls of all sentient beings are part of a great cosmic wheel that turns according to the will of Giles. As it turns, a soul's fortune will rise and fall according to its place on the wheel; as life goes on, one is subjected to a continuous cycle of rising and falling fortune. As a result, any fortunes won as a result of chance are seen as perfectly legitimate; if it was not Giles's will that the winner should be so fortunate, he would not have won. Of course, this extends to other areas of life as well; disappointments and failures are seen as only temporary, while Aronarians are not overly proud of today's accomplishment when they may be swept away by a downturn of fortune tomorrow. On the whole, this gives them a rather phlegmatic outlook on life. However, it also gives them a certain contempt for traders and merchants, whom they feel are trying to defy the cycle by always seeking profit at any expense. This has caused some friction with many spacefaring peoples, particularly with their vitriolic neighbors on Aesbion.

While most traders will be able to satisfy their entertainment needs at any of the the local gambling halls (where, appropriately enough, the roulette wheel dominates), those with more discerning tastes are encouraged to investigate one of the aristocratic lodges. Generally visitors from the outside are received hospitably, and even with some curiosity - unlike on some worlds, most people have little opportunity for day-to-day contact with pilots. The local lord will undoubtedly throw a sumptuous (and, most important of all, expense-free) feast during your visit, complete with the best food and drink in his stocks and entertainment provided by a local band or a traveling actors' troupe. He may also throw an impromptu tournament, inviting you to compete against the best pilots of his house in various competitions, which will of course attract plenty of interest (and money) from the locals. (Be careful - although space duels are only supposed to last until one party yields, accidents do happen.) The entire point of all this extravagance, of course, is to impress you into swearing fealty to the lord's house as an exclusive pilot. You may be tempted - house pilots are granted considerable privileges, including the lord's protection - but you are under no obligation to accept, no matter how good the local alcohol is, and the lord will sometimes (begrudgingly) allow himself to be bargained down to a much more open contract if the price is right. Being a member or close ally of an aristocratic house often brings benefits, but it can also attract some unwelcome attention from jealous rivals; although open warfare has thankfully gone out of style on Aronar, the nobility still wage petty "shadow conflicts" against one another, and being too close to a particular house or too good at your job may make you an ideal target for a little dash of poison in your next meal or being smothered by a well-paid chambermaid in your sleep. Your friends probably won't miss you too much, either - after all, that's how the wheel turns.

While you're visiting the countryside, be on the lookout for the famed Aronarian deadly goat. They shouldn't be too difficult to spot - they're about half again as tall as an average human being and usually kitted out with garish purple and sky-blue fleeces. Males also sport large curved horns, which they often use to settle arguments over territory or females - naturally, these clashes give yet another outlet for bored Aronarians to press their luck. Despite the name, the deadly goats tend to be quite docile unless provoked, although they do get noticeably agitated during the local mating season. Should you somehow manage to get on the receiving end of a goat charge, the best thing to do is to run away as quickly as you possibly can; a charging male can easily kill a full-grown human (or any number of other sentients), while even concentrated blaster fire has difficulty penetrating their tough skulls. Thankfully, deadly goats tend to exhaust themselves pretty quickly when charging at full speed, so as long as you're in decent shape you should be able to outrun one. While large flocks do still roam in the wild (particularly in the south, where a shaggier breed prevails against the colder temperatures), most have been domesticated and are found in the pastures surrounding the lodges.

Also note that, aside from the feasts, taverns and gambling halls, you should try to be on your best behavior while planetside. The people of Aronar tend to be somewhat old-fashioned about vice and draconian in their punishments. Giles alone can help you if you are caught in a particularly criminal or scandalous act, although the locals will help you arrange a personal meeting to straighten things out. All in all, you'll stay out of jeopardy if you keep yourself on a tight leash, show (or fake) the proper respect to the right people, and don't make too many of the wrong sort of enemies.

''“Tianve is most noted for its famous pulsar, the top tourist attraction in the North East quadrant. Visiting by an official liner is recommended, but rental vessels are available as a cheaper option. Zero-Gee Cricket is banned on Tianve at the request of the native feline population. Tianve is also home to the Elite Combateer 'Rebecca Weston', and details on Tianve's most famous resident can be found in the Tionisla Chronicle publications - '[[Status Quo]]' and '[[Mutabilis]]').”''

The pulsar of [[Tianve]] is known throughout the 8 Galaxies. It is said that the radiation of the pulsar colored the skin of the feline population of the planet. The inhabitants are therefore also known under the name: pulsar cats. The strong radiation from both the normal Tianve star and the pulsar forces the inhabitants to be cautious when going outside although the pulsar cats have developed special skin DNA that can resist radiation for a much longer time.

Tourists that make the trip down to the surface are handed special suits and anti-radiation capsules. However after they've taken the necessary precautions they often are stunned by the beauty. The atmosphere colors the landscape in an eerie but beautiful blue.

Tianvilus is the main city that is mostly under a shielded glass dome for protection. Under this glass ceiling the visitor is delighted to find some ancient temples devoted to the Pulsargod Tiaxus.
It is believed that Tiaxes must be brought sacrifices to extend the time before he repeats his infamous 'Sunrage'. Non-religious people simply call the 'Sunrage' a Sun or pulsar storm. This time of high radiation activity happens once every 50 years or so but cannot be accurately predicted. In the eye of the non-religious inhabitant the worship of Tiaxus is basically a waste of time.

[[Image:Tianvemap.jpg]]

The Xootian Desert is a growing desert. This desert starts directly at the East side of Tanvilus. One of the other reasons for Tianvilus to be under a glass dome are the Xootian sandstorms that would otherwise blow directly into the city causing all sorts of inconveniences. The Xootian desert is a harsh environment but has beautiful dunes. In the North East part of the planet the famous Acid Lake can be found. This Lake has a diameter of 1500 km and is the largest acid lake on the planet. The acid boils up from beneath the surface and is caused by volcanic activity in combination with radiation that is reacting with substances in the lava from Tianve. This results in a almost blinding yellow inland sea.

The Blue mountains are a 18000 km long mountain range with peaks up to 10 km. Some of the most challenging peaks of galaxy 1 can be found here including the famous Mt. Alioth.

The Cloud Ocean covers most of the planets surface. The deep blue water is believed to be home to some massive sea creatures. The Tianve Snakefish for example can reach a length of 250 meter. As long as a large spacecruiser.

''"Center of the Xexedi Cluster and the Western part of Galaxy 1. This planet houses a city that covers the whole planet. Xexedi's high tech level reflects in the futurisic towers, domes, houses an mordern transport on the planet. The famous beauty company L' Ooreaal, [[Zorgon Petterson Group]] and Oocruise have their HQ on the planet. Xexedi is known for the Xexedi skyneedle a 2 mile high skyscraper."''

"The planet Xexedi is scourged by a deadly disease."

The instant you drop out of witchspace into the Xexedi system, you can see that it is one of the busiest systems in the known Ooniverse. For one thing, you're never alone on the inflight corridor - almost as soon as you pop in, you'll find yourself in the presence of ships - some bulk haulers carrying the billions of tons of food, water and other products necessary to fuel the planet-spanning city, others carrying delegations and dispatches to the millions of corporations that have their headquarters on (or partially under) its surface - including such household names as L'Ooreal and Zorgon Petterson. All of these, plus the myriads of freelance traders (such as yourself) and curious tourists from the far corners of the Eight Galaxies, combine to form a traffic stack that stretches all the way out to the witchpoint. Xexedi's Traffic Control Division has a larger fleet and budget than some systems' entire police forces, and the single orbiting Galcop station, though housing one of the largest hangars seen anywhere, is woefully inadequate to cope with all the vessels that come and go. Most of the larger hauling corporations, in fact, have either constructed their own stations or negotiated to have their fleets shuttle their cargoes directly to the surface. Even then, the station itself highly encourages a constant traffic flow by imposing steep extra fees on pilots who intend to stay docked longer than three standard hours for any reason other than a medical or mechanical emergency. Constant bustle and high prices for everything are constants on Xexedi, no matter where you go.

Once you reach the "surface" (many residents spend their entire lives without ever setting foot on the ground level of the planet), you discover that Xexedi is a cosmopolitan place. Officially the native froglike Xexedians make up the majority of the population, but a quick glance at the crowded walkways shows sentients of every species, color and body type, most of them trying to push their way through the crowd with varying degrees of success and urgency. The ever-present mass of people is quite a different experience from the usual spacer lifestyle, where more than ten contacts on a scope is a "crowded neighborhood," and even veteran pilots may start feeling claustrophobic.

One of the first things you want to do after you've recovered your composure is to find yourself something to eat, and what better way to do that than to enjoy one of the most upscale restaurants in the Eight? It's going to be expensive, but if you've managed to make it this far already, you probably have money to burn anyway. No matter what your preference, you're guaranteed to find some high-class establishment that caters to it. Try to check in advance both for available reservations and for proper attire at one of the handy pay-terminals first, though, especially as some places will actually charge money for wasting their time if you try to get a table without either. You might also wish to check out one of the planet's Hyper-Malls, featuring stores with cutting edge technology and fashions that are ten years ahead of the rest of the Ooniverse. You can even marvel at the wonderful interactive advertisements that detect when you take a gander at their products and archive your retinal patterns so that the next time you look at one, it will automatically tailor itself to suit your interests.

[[Image:Skyneedle.jpg|right|thumb|''Skyneedle'']]No tour of the Capital Financial District is complete without a tour of the Xexedi Skyneedle. This single tower is the beating heart of an entire Ooniverse's commerce, housing the corporate offices of almost all of the FortOone 500. The Skyneedle towers over its surroundings at the impressive height of two miles; while most spacers will be hard to impress, having spent most of their lives some thirty times above a planetary surface at least, the view from the top is certainly something not to miss, especially at night.

Of course, Xexedi is not without its hidden dark side. Living on the planet is staggeringly expensive, and while many white-collar workers make truly impressive salaries, a high percentage of these go towards paying the prodigious rent rates and the high cost of daily necessities. Those lower on the pay scale are even unluckier, often effectively selling themselves into indenture to one of the major corporations simply to make ends meet. Finally, while the planet seeks to present a shiny, glossy public image, once you step beyond the financial districts you encounter billions of acres of factories and processing plants, spewing out toxins and carcinogens into the atmosphere at alarming rates. In fact, almost every resident eventually develops some kind of respiratory problem - even the most advanced filtration systems cannot cope with the volume of pollutants pumped into the air - and most die before reaching middle age. Finally, there are nasty (though unproven) rumors that even the massive tonnage of shipped foodstuffs are not enough to satisfy demand, and therefore the corporations have resorted to some rather gruesome alternatives to avert the threat of famine...

Also, a word of warning: Be wary should you ever be informed that you are eligible for an all-expenses-paid vacation to Xexedi, especially if there seems to be a typo in the system's name. One rather unfortunate scam is to trick the victim into accepting a "chance of a lifetime," only to find that most of the trip is spent within a sealed cargo crate - and that once they arrive, they will be spending the rest of their days toiling as slaves in the fields of the sulfurous, volcanic hellhole ''Xexeti''.

''"This planet is a tedious little planet."''

Reinen is yet another one of those planets with an undeserved reputation for being "tedious" thanks in part to the Galactic Catalogue. Certainly your typical native of Reinen (or ''Reinlander'') can be quite grave and humorless when there is work to be done; however, few planets truly know how to unwind quite like Reinen does, and to those in the know, the great Neu BOorlin Bierfest is one of the most prestigious events in the Great Eight.

The Bierfest is an old tradition that goes back to the original colonists' roots on faraway Earth. It is held over the course of two weeks in the harvest season and features such attractions as carnival rides, local folk music, tasty traditional cuisine, and, of course, copious amounts of Reinenian Quuma-Beer. Though it lacks the alcoholic kick of much harder liquors popular elsewhere, it is commonly acclaimed by gourmets one of the smoothest and tastiest beverages in the Galaxy, consistently appearing in Top Ten Beverage lists compiled by great gastronomic and culinary experts from across space and attracting gourmet pilgrims from as far afield as Tianve to the festival. Quuma-Beer is one of Reinen's most lucrative exports, though most of the stock tends to be quickly bought up at a scandalous discount by nearby Xexedi for resale in its own high-price restaurants or consumption in exclusive executive drinking clubs.

The Bierfest is only one aspect (though certainly the most well-known) of Reinen's agrarian culture. The planet has little heavy industry - the vast majority of its few mineral resources have been largely stripped away to fuel the booming industries of Xexedi and Lerelace - and most manufactured goods are either imports or products built strictly for the domestic market by regional craft guilds. Most of Reinen's surface is given over to farmland, which mostly grows a variety of staple crops (including the quumatriticale grain used in Quuma Beer). The common Reinlander stereotype is one of an independent, small-time freeholder; though a significant portion of the land is now in the hands of corporations and the regional governments, the majority is still owned by individuals or family farms, and having a plot to call one's own is still a dream for many (though fewer than in previous generations). Reinlanders are also notably very civic-minded; indeed, the term "Reinlander" itself is more one of convenience than allegiance, as most natives self-identify with their ''Land'' (province) or ''Kanton'' (township) before the planet itself. The planet is technically governed by a loose confederation of all the ''Lands''; however, each ''Land'' is given broad leeway in making its own laws and regulations so long as they do not violate the Charter of Confederation. It's probably better to think of the Reinen Confederacy as an alliance or an economic association than as a government ''per se''.

In general, life on Reinen is fairly relaxed compared to that on many other worlds of the Ooniverse. The locals are friendly, the beer is good, and the days go by at a leisurely pace. Perhaps for those used to a fast-paced life of adventure, Reinen is indeed "a tedious little planet"; however, for the veteran spacer looking for somewhere to retire, or at least a place to cool his heels, the planet is an ideal stopping point.

==Blaze O'Glory==

Commander "Blaze O'Glory" is the current pseudonym of an individual with a, to say the least, murky past. More than twenty years ago, it appears he was a starship pilot who suffered some form of mishap and was forced to eject. A series of failures in the escape pod systems – possibly damaged in the attack or accident – put the pod into a highly eccentric elliptical orbit around the star. By sheer chance the pod, now pitted by micrometeorites and scoured by solar radiation, was picked up a couple of years ago. The pod was turned over to the Moray Medicals, who, to their surprise and growing horror, discovered that the occupant was still alive.

The internal life-support mechanisms had been radically altered. Resyk units had been patched, recircuited and reprioritised, mated in desperate ways with the onboard autodoc, and stretched far beyond their design limits. The pilot was, indeed, alive: but no closed system is 100% efficient. Over the years the machinery had been forced to cannibalise all available resources to maintain core brain activity. "All available resources" ... you don't need legs to live, or arms; or skin; or flesh; or bones. Then one major organ system after another had been consumed, their functions taken over by mechanical processes. By the time rescue came, the pilot had been stripped down, piece by piece, reduced – simplified – to a nervous system and nothing else, held suspended in a soupy fluid within a pressure suit.

The motto of the Moray Medicals is "Never Say Die". This case tested it to its fullest. Eventually, however, with infinite patience, they excised this bundle of nerves from its warped cocoon and placed it in a specially-designed suspensor tank, meshed into sensor webs and a set of basic manipulators. Then they handed it over to the Psychs – and hit the local bars, hard.

The pilot's original personality and memories were almost wholly gone. But radical egosurgery and experimental wetware did manage to coax a functioning, and to all intents and purposes sane, individual from the remains.

[[Image:radiomaru.png|thumb|right|The ''Radio Maru'' leaves orbit]]A long-running legal battle ensued between the Medicals, the disembodied brain (now referring to itself as "Blaze O'Glory", which caused the Psychs some concern) and EV-Away!, the manufacturers of his escape pod. The pod's black-box recorder had been cooked, and there was no record of who the pilot actually was, how much his insurance policy should pay out, or if it was even still valid. Eventually, suffering from increasing bad publicity, the manufacturers caved in and agreed to settle out of court. The medical bills were paid, and Blaze O'Glory was given a basic ship and 100 creds. EV-Away! had at first suggested a Worm, but O'Glory stuck to his guns and held out for a minimum-spec Cobra Mk III, which he named the ''Potage Électrique''. His pilot's skills, although perhaps – who can say? – not what they used to be, seem at least adequate: he's made it to Elite, and has fought and traded his way up to a cherry-red Wolf Mark II SE, the ''Radio Maru'', too. Clamped into the fabric of the ship, and wired directly to the controls, he's carving out a new life for himself across the quadrant.

===Elite Rating===
'''***ELITE***'''

===Legal Status===
Blaze O'Glory is currently rated '''Clean'''. His record contains one misdemeanor, now expired, for launching from a GalCo-op station with a ton of Narcotics on board. He was briefly listed as '''Fugitive – Most Wanted – Shoot on Sight''' following an incident on Gelegeus in Galaxy 1. O'Glory was arrested and charged with '''Creating Alarm and Despond''', '''Disrupting the Orderly Operation of the Station''', '''Impersonating a Hostile Intelligence''', and '''Trading in Sub-Standard Goods (Liquors, Wines and Beverages subsection)'''. He was found Not Guilty on all counts. An attempt by Commander O'Glory to sue the station for wrongful arrest was dismissed by the Gelegeus Merchants' Court.

====The Gelegeus Incident====
O'Glory has published his own account of the events on Gelegeus:

:''Oh dear. I'd hoped that people had forgotten about that embarrassing little episode. Really, it was a long time ago, and was nothing more than a stupid misunderstanding that's been blown out of all proportion. I suppose I should set the record straight.

:''I was pretty raw back then, both as a pilot and as an individual. I was still flying my first ship, the ''Potage Électrique'', a [[Cobra_Mk.3_%28Oolite%29|Cobra III]], and I was still finding out about myself. Was I a hard-working trader? A sundogging space bum? A stone-cold killer? Of course, now I realise that these crude categories don't really describe anyone, but in the early days I was just the basic core of a personality, built up from wetware wafers and pseudo-experiences, grafted onto whatever rudimentary neural structures remained from whoever was in here before me. I was seeking some kind of definition.

:''Anyway, I'd fitted out the ''Potage Électrique'' with a [[Military_Lasers|military laser]] and upped her shields. I'd had a few firefights before, of course, but on a small scale and in self-defence only. Now I was off looking for trouble.

:''Gelegeus and its neighbouring systems (Zaleriza, anarchy; Xeenle, anarchy; Eszaraxe, anarchy; Isveve, anarchy; Xeesenri, anarchy) is a good place to find that. Honestly, the whole sector is in chaos; there must be something in the background radiation. So in I went, and although I gave as good as I got, and then some – pushed my ratings all the way up from "Average" to "Competent" in five jumps – I scared myself silly in the process. I'll fight, if it comes down to it, and kill if I have to, but I take no joy in it. I was not, it would seem, a pirate, assassin or bounty-hunter. I decided to get out while I was still in one piece, and headed for Biisza, the only island of sanity in the whole volume.

:''To get there, though, I had to head through Gelegeus. It's a [[Powers_and_Organisations#Multi-Government_Worlds|multi-government]] system, a backwards little poor agricultural. I wish I'd just sunskimmed and headed on for Biisza, but there was a "[[Free Trade Zone]]" lurking between me and the star so I ran in to the main station instead.

:''Well that was a ropey run and no mistake. I fought through a five-way furball, dealt with a lone-wolf [[Asp_%28Oolite%29|Asp]], and got jumped by a [[Fer-de-Lance_%28Oolite|Fer-de-Lance]] and his two [[Cobra_Mk.1_%28Oolite%29|Cobra 1]] friends all in the space of three hundred klicks. As the dust cleared, and I was setting up to collect some cargo, I spotted two [[Iguana_%28Oolite%29|Iguanas]], a [[Cat_%28Oolite%29|Cat]] and a big [[Python_%28Oolite%29|Black Dog]] sliding in. Being somewhat beat up, I decided that discretion was the better part of valour, and survival was the cherry on the top. I hightailed it out on my [[Witch_fuel_injectors|injectors]]. Fortunately they were too busy reaping the rewards of my hard labours to bother with more than a token pursuit.

:''So by the time I got into Gelegeus station, I was in a pretty foul mood. It got worse after I discovered that the local scutters weren't remotely qualified to carry out any of the necessary repairs. Then I received a demand to explain a discrepancy in my bill of lading; a cannister of [[Commodities#Luxuries|luxury goods]] which I'd had in there had been destroyed in the fighting, but the Gelegeusians were claiming it was still there and was actually [[Commodities#Liquor.2FWines|liquor and wines]]. Basically, a whole good ton of Solageonian Tree-Wolf musk had been blown all over the inside of the cargo bay, but the dock crew were prepared to drink the residue so as far as they were concerned it was booze. I told them that if they wanted to drink it, they were welcome and with my blessing, as long as they finished servicing the ''Potage Électrique'' first. Okay and thank you, came the reply, but could I just indent the bill – manually, of all things. I told you they were backwards.

:''Fine. Right. I popped the canopy and trundled out onto the wing of the ''Potage'': and that's when all hell broke loose. Suddenly there was screaming and shouting, and klaxons going off all over; scutters were bumping into each other, blast-doors were clanging down and a bunch of local Blues came charging out waving a goddam EMpulser, screaming about an outbreak and ordering everyone to crash their systems. Well, I turned around to get back into the cockpit and purge the computer when the bastards opened up – on me.

:''I locked up dead. My core systems were shielded, of course, but I was still in my original basic transport body. My manipulators, my treads, my communications, my sensorium, all got pulled down by the EMP. I was caught in frozen darkness: no sound, no sight, no sensation at all, just me and my neurons, all on our ownsome, for what seemed like an eternity but probably wasn't much longer than a couple of hours.

:''They don't get many cyborgs through there; certainly none as radical as yours truly. Turned out that somebody, some half-witted hick farmer in the control booth who read too much science fiction, had clocked me for an autonomous AI, a rogue robot about to inject an uplift virus into the station systems and fling Gelegeus into a singularity event. Like I said, backwards. Anyway, to cover their embarrassment, and probably to forestall any lawsuit on my part, they charged me with "Impersonating a Hostile Intelligence", "Creating Alarm and Despond", and "Disrupting the Orderly Operation of the Station". Oh, and "Trading in Sub-Standard Goods (Liquors, Wines and Beverages subsection)", too. They actually put me on trial, would you believe, after first fitting me out with a replacement sensorium (black-and-white, it was, and pretty damn grainy) and a voicebox that made me sound like I was gargling gravel. At least they managed to repair my transport body: at one point it looked like they were going to have to wheel me into the courtroom on a cart. This is where all that "Fugitive" nonsense comes from; before the trial, the ''Potage'' was impounded and my transponder was clicked up to a stupidly high criminal rating to prevent me "fleeing justice". Standard practice on Gelegeus, apparently: given that their Blues are so damn incompetent it's probably even a good idea.

:''The whole charade collapsed when it came to court, of course. The charges were dropped, my legal status returned to normal, and my good name restored (although not, I see, before the rumour-mills started to spin all manner of nonsense about me...). I did raise the issue of compensation, but that proved a non-starter: it was, apparently, an "honest mistake" and everyone concerned had "followed operational protocol". I thought briefly about pushing it – but I'd already spend far too many days of my brief life in numbing courtroom battles. I just wanted to get up, get out, and never come back.

:''I did, to my later shame, make some intemperate remarks to a local fax reporter about "scarlet-arsed forkheads", which didn't go down too well, and did cause some later resentment among other red horned humanoids who heard it. Well. I was young, I was stupid, and I was deeply, deeply pissed off. Still no excuse, though. People are people, whether they're blue, green, red, black, yellow, furry, bald, slimy, chitinous, or floating in a jar.

:''So. There's the whole sorry story. I shook the dust of Gelegeus from my tracks and lit out for brighter stars. I did upgrade my personal systems soon after, which I feel was a good thing: it helped ground me in a sense of who and what I am. And I did put out a general statement of apology for my use of the f-word, which I hope was accepted by horned communities everywhere as an unfortunate outburst under stressful circumstances. Certainly the people of Onenla didn't seem to care; then again, they're a pretty enlightened bunch. I, for one, will not be back again in Gelegeus in this lifetime, so what they think of me there I know little and care even less.

===Media Attention===
[[Image:Space_Madness.png|thumb|right|Blaze O'Glory's TeraScreen advertisement for Mental Fixative]] Blaze O'Glory's rescue and rehabilitation, and his legal tussle with EV-Away!, gained some coverage in a number of pilot newsfeeds. The resulting publicity persuaded [[NeuroCorp]] to use him as the spokesbeing for their psychostabilising medication ''Dr Sigmund Schmigmund's Mental Fixative''.

[[Image:Gelegeusger_Novaar.png|thumb|left|The ''Gelegeusger Novaar'''s version of events]]Several scandal-sheets ran spurious stories concerning his actions on Gelegeus: most notoriously the ''Gelegeusger Novaar'', which claimed that Commander O'Glory had attempted to murder the inhabitants of Gelegeus Coriolis 1 with a cargo-pod full of of nerve gas, and had intended to crash the station onto Miffi, the capital city of the nation of Mifvivanana ("'''The Brain of Death!'''", ''Gelegeusger Novaar'' 1337-47, pp1-23). A retraction was eventually published ("'''3 Down: He's not really a genocidal psychopath (5,6)'''", ''Gelegeusger Novaar'' 1337-58, Junior Jumble pullout supplement, p16).

===Notable Activity===
After he provided assistance to the Ousian Academy of Science's climate control project on Onenla, in Galaxy 2, a small statue of Commander O'Glory was erected in the reception lobby of Onenla Station 1. It was recently moved to the Food Court on Level 4, following a petition by the Onenla Institute of Fine Art.

===Publications===

===Elite Rating===
'''***ELITE***'''

===Legal Status===
Blaze O'Glory is currently rated '''Clean'''. His record contains one misdemeanor, now expired, for launching from a GalCo-op station with a ton of Narcotics on board. He was briefly listed as '''Fugitive – Most Wanted – Shoot on Sight''' following an incident on Gelegeus in Galaxy 1. O'Glory was arrested and charged with '''Creating Alarm and Despond''', '''Disrupting the Orderly Operation of the Station''', '''Impersonating a Hostile Intelligence''', and '''Trading in Sub-Standard Goods (Liquors, Wines and Beverages subsection)'''. He was found Not Guilty on all counts. An attempt by Commander O'Glory to sue the station for wrongful arrest was dismissed by the Gelegeus Merchants' Court.

====The Gelegeus Incident====
O'Glory has published his own account of the events on Gelegeus:

:''Oh dear. I'd hoped that people had forgotten about that embarrassing little episode. Really, it was a long time ago, and was nothing more than a stupid misunderstanding that's been blown out of all proportion. I suppose I should set the record straight.

:''I was pretty raw back then, both as a pilot and as an individual. I was still flying my first ship, the ''Potage Électrique'', a [[Cobra_Mk.3_%28Oolite%29|Cobra III]], and I was still finding out about myself. Was I a hard-working trader? A sundogging space bum? A stone-cold killer? Of course, now I realise that these crude categories don't really describe anyone, but in the early days I was just the basic core of a personality, built up from wetware wafers and pseudo-experiences, grafted onto whatever rudimentary neural structures remained from whoever was in here before me. I was seeking some kind of definition.

:''Anyway, I'd fitted out the ''Potage Électrique'' with a [[Military_Lasers|military laser]] and upped her shields. I'd had a few firefights before, of course, but on a small scale and in self-defence only. Now I was off looking for trouble.

:''Gelegeus and its neighbouring systems (Zaleriza, anarchy; Xeenle, anarchy; Eszaraxe, anarchy; Isveve, anarchy; Xeesenri, anarchy) is a good place to find that. Honestly, the whole sector is in chaos; there must be something in the background radiation. So in I went, and although I gave as good as I got, and then some – pushed my ratings all the way up from "Average" to "Competent" in five jumps – I scared myself silly in the process. I'll fight, if it comes down to it, and kill if I have to, but I take no joy in it. I was not, it would seem, a pirate, assassin or bounty-hunter. I decided to get out while I was still in one piece, and headed for Biisza, the only island of sanity in the whole volume.

:''To get there, though, I had to head through Gelegeus. It's a [[Powers_and_Organisations#Multi-Government_Worlds|multi-government]] system, a backwards little poor agricultural. I wish I'd just sunskimmed and headed on for Biisza, but there was a "[[Free Trade Zone]]" lurking between me and the star so I ran in to the main station instead.

:''Well that was a ropey run and no mistake. I fought through a five-way furball, dealt with a lone-wolf [[Asp_%28Oolite%29|Asp]], and got jumped by a [[Fer-de-Lance_%28Oolite|Fer-de-Lance]] and his two [[Cobra_Mk.1_%28Oolite%29|Cobra 1]] friends all in the space of three hundred klicks. As the dust cleared, and I was setting up to collect some cargo, I spotted two [[Iguana_%28Oolite%29|Iguanas]], a [[Cat_%28Oolite%29|Cat]] and a big [[Python_%28Oolite%29|Black Dog]] sliding in. Being somewhat beat up, I decided that discretion was the better part of valour, and survival was the cherry on the top. I hightailed it out on my [[Witch_fuel_injectors|injectors]]. Fortunately they were too busy reaping the rewards of my hard labours to bother with more than a token pursuit.

:''So by the time I got into Gelegeus station, I was in a pretty foul mood. It got worse after I discovered that the local scutters weren't remotely qualified to carry out any of the necessary repairs. Then I received a demand to explain a discrepancy in my bill of lading; a cannister of [[Commodities#Luxuries|luxury goods]] which I'd had in there had been destroyed in the fighting, but the Gelegeusians were claiming it was still there and was actually [[Commodities#Liquor.2FWines|liquor and wines]]. Basically, a whole good ton of Solageonian Tree-Wolf musk had been blown all over the inside of the cargo bay, but the dock crew were prepared to drink the residue so as far as they were concerned it was booze. I told them that if they wanted to drink it, they were welcome and with my blessing, as long as they finished servicing the ''Potage Électrique'' first. Okay and thank you, came the reply, but could I just indent the bill – manually, of all things. I told you they were backwards.

:''Fine. Right. I popped the canopy and trundled out onto the wing of the ''Potage'': and that's when all hell broke loose. Suddenly there was screaming and shouting, and klaxons going off all over; scutters were bumping into each other, blast-doors were clanging down and a bunch of local Blues came charging out waving a goddam EMpulser, screaming about an outbreak and ordering everyone to crash their systems. Well, I turned around to get back into the cockpit and purge the computer when the bastards opened up – on me.

:''I locked up dead. My core systems were shielded, of course, but I was still in my original basic transport body. My manipulators, my treads, my communications, my sensorium, all got pulled down by the EMP. I was caught in frozen darkness: no sound, no sight, no sensation at all, just me and my neurons, all on our ownsome, for what seemed like an eternity but probably wasn't much longer than a couple of hours.

:''They don't get many cyborgs through there; certainly none as radical as yours truly. Turned out that somebody, some half-witted hick farmer in the control booth who read too much science fiction, had clocked me for an autonomous AI, a rogue robot about to inject an uplift virus into the station systems and fling Gelegeus into a singularity event. Like I said, backwards. Anyway, to cover their embarrassment, and probably to forestall any lawsuit on my part, they charged me with "Impersonating a Hostile Intelligence", "Creating Alarm and Despond", and "Disrupting the Orderly Operation of the Station". Oh, and "Trading in Sub-Standard Goods (Liquors, Wines and Beverages subsection)", too. They actually put me on trial, would you believe, after first fitting me out with a replacement sensorium (black-and-white, it was, and pretty damn grainy) and a voicebox that made me sound like I was gargling gravel. At least they managed to repair my transport body: at one point it looked like they were going to have to wheel me into the courtroom on a cart. This is where all that "Fugitive" nonsense comes from; before the trial, the ''Potage'' was impounded and my transponder was clicked up to a stupidly high criminal rating to prevent me "fleeing justice". Standard practice on Gelegeus, apparently: given that their Blues are so damn incompetent it's probably even a good idea.

:''The whole charade collapsed when it came to court, of course. The charges were dropped, my legal status returned to normal, and my good name restored (although not, I see, before the rumour-mills started to spin all manner of nonsense about me...). I did raise the issue of compensation, but that proved a non-starter: it was, apparently, an "honest mistake" and everyone concerned had "followed operational protocol". I thought briefly about pushing it – but I'd already spend far too many days of my brief life in numbing courtroom battles. I just wanted to get up, get out, and never come back.

:''I did, to my later shame, make some intemperate remarks to a local fax reporter about "scarlet-arsed forkheads", which didn't go down too well, and did cause some later resentment among other red horned humanoids who heard it. Well. I was young, I was stupid, and I was deeply, deeply pissed off. Still no excuse, though. People are people, whether they're blue, green, red, black, yellow, furry, bald, slimy, chitinous, or floating in a jar.

:''So. There's the whole sorry story. I shook the dust of Gelegeus from my tracks and lit out for brighter stars. I did upgrade my personal systems soon after, which I feel was a good thing: it helped ground me in a sense of who and what I am. And I did put out a general statement of apology for my use of the f-word, which I hope was accepted by horned communities everywhere as an unfortunate outburst under stressful circumstances. Certainly the people of Onenla didn't seem to care; then again, they're a pretty enlightened bunch. I, for one, will not be back again in Gelegeus in this lifetime, so what they think of me there I know little and care even less.

===Media Attention===
[[Image:Space_Madness.png|thumb|right|Blaze O'Glory's TeraScreen advertisement for Mental Fixative]] Blaze O'Glory's rescue and rehabilitation, and his legal tussle with EV-Away!, gained some coverage in a number of pilot newsfeeds. The resulting publicity persuaded [[NeuroCorp]] to use him as the spokesbeing for their psychostabilising medication ''Dr Sigmund Schmigmund's Mental Fixative''.

[[Image:Gelegeusger_Novaar.png|thumb|left|The ''Gelegeusger Novaar'''s version of events]]Several scandal-sheets ran spurious stories concerning his actions on Gelegeus: most notoriously the ''Gelegeusger Novaar'', which claimed that Commander O'Glory had attempted to murder the inhabitants of Gelegeus Coriolis 1 with a cargo-pod full of of nerve gas, and had intended to crash the station onto Miffi, the capital city of the nation of Mifvivanana ("'''The Brain of Death!'''", ''Gelegeusger Novaar'' 1337-47, pp1-23). A retraction was eventually published ("'''3 Down: He's not really a genocidal psychopath (5,6)'''", ''Gelegeusger Novaar'' 1337-58, Junior Jumble pullout supplement, p16).

===Notable Activity===
After he provided assistance to the Ousian Academy of Science's climate control project on Onenla, in Galaxy 2, a small statue of Commander O'Glory was erected in the reception lobby of Onenla Station 1. It was recently moved to the Food Court on Level 4, following a petition by the Onenla Institute of Fine Art.

*Economic status: '''Rich industrial (Specialist in high-end tech and beauty products)'''

*Population: ''5.8 Billion (Large Green Frogs)''
*Political status: '''Confederacy'''
*Radius: '''3399km'''

''"Center of the Xexedi Cluster and the Western part of Galaxy 1. This planet houses a city that covers the whole planet. Xexedi's high tech level reflects in the futurisic towers, domes, houses an mordern transport on the planet. The famous beauty company L' Ooreaal, [[Zorgon Petterson Group]] and Oocruise have their HQ on the planet. Xexedi is known for the Xexedi skyneedle a 2 mile high skyscraper."''

"The planet Xexedi is scourged by a deadly disease."

The instant you drop out of witchspace into the Xexedi system, you can see that it is one of the busiest systems in the known Ooniverse. For one thing, you're never alone on the inflight corridor - almost as soon as you pop in, you'll find yourself in the presence of ships - some bulk haulers carrying the billions of tons of food, water and other products necessary to fuel the planet-spanning city, others carrying delegations and dispatches to the millions of corporations that have their headquarters on (or partially under) its surface - including such household names as L'Ooreal and Zorgon Petterson. All of these, plus the myriads of freelance traders (such as yourself) and curious tourists from the far corners of the Eight Galaxies, combine to form a traffic stack that stretches all the way out to the witchpoint. Xexedi's Traffic Control Division has a larger fleet and budget than some systems' entire police forces, and the single orbiting Galcop station, though housing one of the largest hangars seen anywhere, is woefully inadequate to cope with all the vessels that come and go. Most of the larger hauling corporations, in fact, have either constructed their own stations or negotiated to have their fleets shuttle their cargoes directly to the surface. Even then, the station itself highly encourages a constant traffic flow by imposing steep extra fees on pilots who intend to stay docked longer than three standard hours for any reason other than a medical or mechanical emergency. Constant bustle and high prices for everything are constants on Xexedi, no matter where you go.

Once you reach the "surface" (many residents spend their entire lives without ever setting foot on the ground level of the planet), you discover that Xexedi is a cosmopolitan place. Officially the native froglike Xexedians make up the majority of the population, but a quick glance at the crowded walkways shows sentients of every species, color and body type, most of them trying to push their way through the crowd with varying degrees of success and urgency. The ever-present mass of people is quite a different experience from the usual spacer lifestyle, where more than ten contacts on a scope is a "crowded neighborhood," and even veteran pilots may start feeling claustrophobic.

One of the first things you want to do after you've recovered your composure is to find yourself something to eat, and what better way to do that than to enjoy one of the most upscale restaurants in the Eight? It's going to be expensive, but if you've managed to make it this far already, you probably have money to burn anyway. No matter what your preference, you're guaranteed to find some high-class establishment that caters to it. Try to check in advance both for available reservations and for proper attire at one of the handy pay-terminals first, though, especially as some places will actually charge money for wasting their time if you try to get a table without either. You might also wish to check out one of the planet's Hyper-Malls, featuring stores with cutting edge technology and fashions that are ten years ahead of the rest of the Ooniverse. You can even marvel at the wonderful interactive advertisements that detect when you take a gander at their products and archive your retinal patterns so that the next time you look at one, it will automatically tailor itself to suit your interests.

[[Image:Skyneedle.jpg|right|thumb|''Skyneedle'']]No tour of the Capital Financial District is complete without a tour of the Xexedi Skyneedle. This single tower is the beating heart of an entire Ooniverse's commerce, housing the corporate offices of almost all of the FortOone 500. The Skyneedle towers over its surroundings at the impressive height of two miles; while most spacers will be hard to impress, having spent most of their lives some thirty times above a planetary surface at least, the view from the top is certainly something not to miss, especially at night.

Of course, Xexedi is not without its hidden dark side. Living on the planet is staggeringly expensive, and while many white-collar workers make truly impressive salaries, a high percentage of these go towards paying the prodigious rent rates and the high cost of daily necessities. Those lower on the pay scale are even unluckier, often effectively selling themselves into indenture to one of the major corporations simply to make ends meet. Finally, while the planet seeks to present a shiny, glossy public image, once you step beyond the financial districts you encounter billions of acres of factories and processing plants, spewing out toxins and carcinogens into the atmosphere at alarming rates. In fact, almost every resident eventually develops some kind of respiratory problem - even the most advanced filtration systems cannot cope with the volume of pollutants pumped into the air - and most die before reaching middle age. Finally, there are nasty (though unproven) rumors that even the massive tonnage of shipped foodstuffs are not enough to satisfy demand, and therefore the corporations have resorted to some rather gruesome alternatives to avert the threat of famine...

Also, a word of warning: Be wary should you ever be informed that you are eligible for an all-expenses-paid vacation to Xexedi, especially if there seems to be a typo in the system's name. One rather unfortunate scam is to trick the victim into accepting a "chance of a lifetime," only to find that most of the trip is spent within a sealed cargo crate - and that once they arrive, they will be spending the rest of their days toiling as slaves in the fields of the sulfurous, volcanic hellhole ''Xexeti''.

''The Jungle world of Aronar. The most dangerous passage on the Spaceway L1 to Lerelace. The landscape is dominated by a jungle covered supercontinent. Deep in the woods the Aronar Deadly Goat has its habitat. They are deadly because of their size. 2 times as large as normal goats. Every village on Aronar houses a local Hoopy Casino. Gambling is a religion on Aronar. Every citizen of Aronar gambles before dinner''

"Aronar is most famous for the Aronarian deadly goat and its hoopy casinos."

The planet of Aronar is home to one of the most unusual cultures in the Ooniverse. On the one hand, the people are very conservative and spiritual, believing for the most part in the Fundamental Tenets of the Word of Giles, including the admonitions against excess material wealth. On the other hand, the entire planet seems to suffer from a collective compulsive gambling habit. Casinos, gambling halls, race courses and tournament fields seem to be on every street corner, and passions for the hobby run so deep that two Aronarians will often make casual bets on such matters as which of two raindrops will reach the bottom windowpane first. The casual observer is often left standing in wonder how these two seemingly contradictory facets of society can exist in harmony. The secret lies in a peculiar idea known locally as "the Wheel of Fortune."

The Wheel of Fortune's basic principle is that the souls of all sentient beings are part of a great cosmic wheel that turns according to the will of Giles. As it turns, a soul's fortune will rise and fall according to its place on the wheel; as life goes on, one is subjected to a continuous cycle of rising and falling fortune. As a result, any fortunes won as a result of chance are seen as perfectly legitimate; if it was not Giles's will that the winner should be so fortunate, he would not have won. Of course, this extends to other areas of life as well; disappointments and failures are seen as only temporary, while Aronarians are not overly proud of today's accomplishment when they may be swept away by a downturn of fortune tomorrow. On the whole, this gives them a rather phlegmatic outlook on life. However, it also gives them a certain contempt for traders and merchants, whom they feel are trying to defy the cycle by always seeking profit at any expense. This has caused some friction with many spacefaring peoples, particularly with their vitriolic neighbors on Aesbion.

While most traders will be able to satisfy their entertainment needs at any of the the local gambling halls (where, appropriately enough, the roulette wheel dominates), those with more discerning tastes are encouraged to investigate one of the aristocratic lodges. Generally visitors from the outside are received hospitably, and even with some curiosity - unlike on some worlds, most people have little opportunity for day-to-day contact with pilots. The local lord will undoubtedly throw a sumptuous (and, most important of all, expense-free) feast during your visit, complete with the best food and drink in his stocks and entertainment provided by a local band or a traveling actors' troupe. He may also throw an impromptu tournament, inviting you to compete against the best pilots of his house in various competitions, which will of course attract plenty of interest (and money) from the locals. (Be careful - although space duels are only supposed to last until one party yields, accidents do happen.) The entire point of all this extravagance, of course, is to impress you into swearing fealty to the lord's house as an exclusive pilot. You may be tempted - house pilots are granted considerable privileges, including the lord's protection - but you are under no obligation to accept, no matter how good the local alcohol is, and the lord will sometimes (begrudgingly) allow himself to be bargained down to a much more open contract if the price is right. Being a member or close ally of an aristocratic house often brings benefits, but it can also attract some unwelcome attention from jealous rivals; although open warfare has thankfully gone out of style on Aronar, the nobility still wage petty "shadow conflicts" against one another, and being too close to a particular house or too good at your job may make you an ideal target for a little dash of poison in your next meal or being smothered by a well-paid chambermaid in your sleep. Your friends probably won't miss you too much, either - after all, that's how the wheel turns.

While you're visiting the countryside, be on the lookout for the famed Aronarian deadly goat. They shouldn't be too difficult to spot - they're about half again as tall as an average human being and usually kitted out with garish purple and sky-blue fleeces. Males also sport large curved horns, which they often use to settle arguments over territory or females - naturally, these clashes give yet another outlet for bored Aronarians to press their luck. Despite the name, the deadly goats tend to be quite docile unless provoked, although they do get noticeably agitated during the local mating season. Should you somehow manage to get on the receiving end of a goat charge, the best thing to do is to run away as quickly as you possibly can; a charging male can easily kill a full-grown human (or any number of other sentients), while even concentrated blaster fire has difficulty penetrating their tough skulls. Thankfully, deadly goats tend to exhaust themselves pretty quickly when charging at full speed, so as long as you're in decent shape you should be able to outrun one. While large flocks do still roam in the wild (particularly in the south, where a shaggier breed prevails against the colder temperatures), most have been domesticated and are found in the pastures surrounding the lodges.

Also note that, aside from the feasts, taverns and gambling halls, you should try to be on your best behavior while planetside. The people of Aronar tend to be somewhat old-fashioned about vice and draconian in their punishments. Giles alone can help you if you are caught in a particularly criminal or scandalous act, although the locals will help you arrange a personal meeting to straighten things out. All in all, you'll stay out of jeopardy if you keep yourself on a tight leash, show (or fake) the proper respect to the right people, and don't make too many of the wrong sort of enemies.

Disembodied: /* Blaze O'Glory */

==Blaze O'Glory==

Commander "Blaze O'Glory" is the current pseudonym of an individual with a, to say the least, murky past. More than twenty years ago, it appears he was a starship pilot who suffered some form of mishap and was forced to eject. A series of failures in the escape pod systems – possibly damaged in the attack or accident – put the pod into a highly eccentric elliptical orbit around the star. By sheer chance the pod, now pitted by micrometeorites and scoured by solar radiation, was picked up a couple of years ago. The pod was turned over to the Moray Medicals, who, to their surprise and growing horror, discovered that the occupant was still alive.

The internal life-support mechanisms had been radically altered. Resyk units had been patched, recircuited and reprioritised, mated in desperate ways with the onboard autodoc, and stretched far beyond their design limits. The pilot was, indeed, alive: but no closed system is 100% efficient. Over the years the machinery had been forced to cannibalise all available resources to maintain core brain activity. "All available resources" ... you don't need legs to live, or arms; or skin; or flesh; or bones. Then one major organ system after another had been consumed, their functions taken over by mechanical processes. By the time rescue came, the pilot had been stripped down, piece by piece, reduced – simplified – to a nervous system and nothing else, held suspended in a soupy fluid within a pressure suit.

The motto of the Moray Medicals is "Never Say Die". This case tested it to its fullest. Eventually, however, with infinite patience, they excised this bundle of nerves from its warped cocoon and placed it in a specially-designed suspensor tank, meshed into sensor webs and a set of basic manipulators. Then they handed it over to the Psychs – and hit the local bars, hard.

The pilot's original personality and memories were almost wholly gone. But radical egosurgery and experimental wetware did manage to coax a functioning, and to all intents and purposes sane, individual from the remains.

[[Image:radiomaru.png|thumb|right|The ''Radio Maru'' leaves orbit]]A long-running legal battle ensued between the Medicals, the disembodied brain (now referring to itself as "Blaze O'Glory", which caused the Psychs some concern) and EV-Away!, the manufacturers of his escape pod. The pod's black-box recorder had been cooked, and there was no record of who the pilot actually was, how much his insurance policy should pay out, or if it was even still valid. Eventually, suffering from increasing bad publicity, the manufacturers caved in and agreed to settle out of court. The medical bills were paid, and Blaze O'Glory was given a basic ship and 100 creds. EV-Away! had at first suggested a Worm, but O'Glory stuck to his guns and held out for a minimum-spec Cobra Mk III, which he named the ''Potage Électrique''. His pilot's skills, although perhaps – who can say? – not what they used to be, seem at least adequate: he's now rated Deadly with over 5,000 confirmed kills, and has fought and traded his way up to a cherry-red Wolf Mark II SE, the ''Radio Maru'', too. Clamped into the fabric of the ship, and wired directly to the controls, he's carving out a new life for himself across the quadrant.

===Known Ships===
''Potage Électrique'', [[Cobra Mk.3 (Oolite)|Cobra Mark III]]

''Likely Story'', [[Iguana (Oolite)|Iguana]]

''Prodigal Daughter'', [[Python Class Cruiser]]

''Radio Maru'', [[Wolf Mk.2 (Oolite)|Wolf Mark II]] (current; recently upgraded to '''Wolf Mark II Special Edition''')

===Elite Rating===
'''Deadly'''

===Legal Status===
Blaze O'Glory is currently rated '''Clean'''. His record contains one misdemeanor, now expired, for launching from a GalCo-op station with a ton of Narcotics on board. He was briefly listed as '''Fugitive – Most Wanted – Shoot on Sight''' following an incident on Gelegeus in Galaxy 1. O'Glory was arrested and charged with '''Creating Alarm and Despond''', '''Disrupting the Orderly Operation of the Station''', '''Impersonating a Hostile Intelligence''', and '''Trading in Sub-Standard Goods (Liquors, Wines and Beverages subsection)'''. He was found Not Guilty on all counts. An attempt by Commander O'Glory to sue the station for wrongful arrest was dismissed by the Gelegeus Merchants' Court.

====The Gelegeus Incident====
O'Glory has published his own account of the events on Gelegeus:

:''Oh dear. I'd hoped that people had forgotten about that embarrassing little episode. Really, it was a long time ago, and was nothing more than a stupid misunderstanding that's been blown out of all proportion. I suppose I should set the record straight.

:''I was pretty raw back then, both as a pilot and as an individual. I was still flying my first ship, the ''Potage Électrique'', a [[Cobra_Mk.3_%28Oolite%29|Cobra III]], and I was still finding out about myself. Was I a hard-working trader? A sundogging space bum? A stone-cold killer? Of course, now I realise that these crude categories don't really describe anyone, but in the early days I was just the basic core of a personality, built up from wetware wafers and pseudo-experiences, grafted onto whatever rudimentary neural structures remained from whoever was in here before me. I was seeking some kind of definition.

:''Anyway, I'd fitted out the ''Potage Électrique'' with a [[Military_Lasers|military laser]] and upped her shields. I'd had a few firefights before, of course, but on a small scale and in self-defence only. Now I was off looking for trouble.

:''Gelegeus and its neighbouring systems (Zaleriza, anarchy; Xeenle, anarchy; Eszaraxe, anarchy; Isveve, anarchy; Xeesenri, anarchy) is a good place to find that. Honestly, the whole sector is in chaos; there must be something in the background radiation. So in I went, and although I gave as good as I got, and then some – pushed my ratings all the way up from "Average" to "Competent" in five jumps – I scared myself silly in the process. I'll fight, if it comes down to it, and kill if I have to, but I take no joy in it. I was not, it would seem, a pirate, assassin or bounty-hunter. I decided to get out while I was still in one piece, and headed for Biisza, the only island of sanity in the whole volume.

:''To get there, though, I had to head through Gelegeus. It's a [[Powers_and_Organisations#Multi-Government_Worlds|multi-government]] system, a backwards little poor agricultural. I wish I'd just sunskimmed and headed on for Biisza, but there was a "[[Free Trade Zone]]" lurking between me and the star so I ran in to the main station instead.

:''Well that was a ropey run and no mistake. I fought through a five-way furball, dealt with a lone-wolf [[Asp_%28Oolite%29|Asp]], and got jumped by a [[Fer-de-Lance_%28Oolite|Fer-de-Lance]] and his two [[Cobra_Mk.1_%28Oolite%29|Cobra 1]] friends all in the space of three hundred klicks. As the dust cleared, and I was setting up to collect some cargo, I spotted two [[Iguana_%28Oolite%29|Iguanas]], a [[Cat_%28Oolite%29|Cat]] and a big [[Python_%28Oolite%29|Black Dog]] sliding in. Being somewhat beat up, I decided that discretion was the better part of valour, and survival was the cherry on the top. I hightailed it out on my [[Witch_fuel_injectors|injectors]]. Fortunately they were too busy reaping the rewards of my hard labours to bother with more than a token pursuit.

:''So by the time I got into Gelegeus station, I was in a pretty foul mood. It got worse after I discovered that the local scutters weren't remotely qualified to carry out any of the necessary repairs. Then I received a demand to explain a discrepancy in my bill of lading; a cannister of [[Commodities#Luxuries|luxury goods]] which I'd had in there had been destroyed in the fighting, but the Gelegeusians were claiming it was still there and was actually [[Commodities#Liquor.2FWines|liquor and wines]]. Basically, a whole good ton of Solageonian Tree-Wolf musk had been blown all over the inside of the cargo bay, but the dock crew were prepared to drink the residue so as far as they were concerned it was booze. I told them that if they wanted to drink it, they were welcome and with my blessing, as long as they finished servicing the ''Potage Électrique'' first. Okay and thank you, came the reply, but could I just indent the bill – manually, of all things. I told you they were backwards.

:''Fine. Right. I popped the canopy and trundled out onto the wing of the ''Potage'': and that's when all hell broke loose. Suddenly there was screaming and shouting, and klaxons going off all over; scutters were bumping into each other, blast-doors were clanging down and a bunch of local Blues came charging out waving a goddam EMpulser, screaming about an outbreak and ordering everyone to crash their systems. Well, I turned around to get back into the cockpit and purge the computer when the bastards opened up – on me.

:''I locked up dead. My core systems were shielded, of course, but I was still in my original basic transport body. My manipulators, my treads, my communications, my sensorium, all got pulled down by the EMP. I was caught in frozen darkness: no sound, no sight, no sensation at all, just me and my neurons, all on our ownsome, for what seemed like an eternity but probably wasn't much longer than a couple of hours.

:''They don't get many cyborgs through there; certainly none as radical as yours truly. Turned out that somebody, some half-witted hick farmer in the control booth who read too much science fiction, had clocked me for an autonomous AI, a rogue robot about to inject an uplift virus into the station systems and fling Gelegeus into a singularity event. Like I said, backwards. Anyway, to cover their embarrassment, and probably to forestall any lawsuit on my part, they charged me with "Impersonating a Hostile Intelligence", "Creating Alarm and Despond", and "Disrupting the Orderly Operation of the Station". Oh, and "Trading in Sub-Standard Goods (Liquors, Wines and Beverages subsection)", too. They actually put me on trial, would you believe, after first fitting me out with a replacement sensorium (black-and-white, it was, and pretty damn grainy) and a voicebox that made me sound like I was gargling gravel. At least they managed to repair my transport body: at one point it looked like they were going to have to wheel me into the courtroom on a cart. This is where all that "Fugitive" nonsense comes from; before the trial, the ''Potage'' was impounded and my transponder was clicked up to a stupidly high criminal rating to prevent me "fleeing justice". Standard practice on Gelegeus, apparently: given that their Blues are so damn incompetent it's probably even a good idea.

:''The whole charade collapsed when it came to court, of course. The charges were dropped, my legal status returned to normal, and my good name restored (although not, I see, before the rumour-mills started to spin all manner of nonsense about me...). I did raise the issue of compensation, but that proved a non-starter: it was, apparently, an "honest mistake" and everyone concerned had "followed operational protocol". I thought briefly about pushing it – but I'd already spend far too many days of my brief life in numbing courtroom battles. I just wanted to get up, get out, and never come back.

:''I did, to my later shame, make some intemperate remarks to a local fax reporter about "scarlet-arsed forkheads", which didn't go down too well, and did cause some later resentment among other red horned humanoids who heard it. Well. I was young, I was stupid, and I was deeply, deeply pissed off. Still no excuse, though. People are people, whether they're blue, green, red, black, yellow, furry, bald, slimy, chitinous, or floating in a jar.

:''So. There's the whole sorry story. I shook the dust of Gelegeus from my tracks and lit out for brighter stars. I did upgrade my personal systems soon after, which I feel was a good thing: it helped ground me in a sense of who and what I am. And I did put out a general statement of apology for my use of the f-word, which I hope was accepted by horned communities everywhere as an unfortunate outburst under stressful circumstances. Certainly the people of Onenla didn't seem to care; then again, they're a pretty enlightened bunch. I, for one, will not be back again in Gelegeus in this lifetime, so what they think of me there I know little and care even less.

===Media Attention===
[[Image:Space_Madness.png|thumb|right|Blaze O'Glory's TeraScreen advertisement for Mental Fixative]] Blaze O'Glory's rescue and rehabilitation, and his legal tussle with EV-Away!, gained some coverage in a number of pilot newsfeeds. The resulting publicity persuaded [[NeuroCorp]] to use him as the spokesbeing for their psychostabilising medication ''Dr Sigmund Schmigmund's Mental Fixative''.

[[Image:Gelegeusger_Novaar.png|thumb|left|The ''Gelegeusger Novaar'''s version of events]]Several scandal-sheets ran spurious stories concerning his actions on Gelegeus: most notoriously the ''Gelegeusger Novaar'', which claimed that Commander O'Glory had attempted to murder the inhabitants of Gelegeus Coriolis 1 with a cargo-pod full of of nerve gas, and had intended to crash the station onto Miffi, the capital city of the nation of Mifvivanana ("'''The Brain of Death!'''", ''Gelegeusger Novaar'' 1337-47, pp1-23). A retraction was eventually published ("'''3 Down: He's not really a genocidal psychopath (5,6)'''", ''Gelegeusger Novaar'' 1337-58, Junior Jumble pullout supplement, p16).

===Notable Activity===
After he provided assistance to the Ousian Academy of Science's climate control project on Onenla, in Galaxy 2, a small statue of Commander O'Glory was erected in the reception lobby of Onenla Station 1. It was recently moved to the Food Court on Level 4, following a petition by the Onenla Institute of Fine Art.

===Publications===
[[Image:RGcoverwiki.jpg|thumb|right|''The Rough Guide to the Ooniverse'']]O'Glory edited the first six entries to [[Rough Guide|''The Rough Guide to the Ooniverse'']] and wrote the short story [http://www.box.net/shared/3dob2hvj9a|''Local Midnight at the Vacuum Bar'']. He is also listed as the "author" of the lightly-fictionalised [[Calliope|''Calliope - a Captain Hesperus adventure'']].

Free Trade Zone

2010-10-08T13:25:21Z

Disembodied:

The so-called "Free Trade Zones" exist in [[Powers_and_Organisations#Multi-Government_Worlds|Multi-Government]] systems. They are located within mined-out [[Rock_Hermit_(Oolite)|Rock Hermits]], dragged beyond the witchpoint beacon, where various morally dyslexic ship captains can trade outside the official, [[GalCop|GalCop]]-protected, network. There are some bargains to be found – as you might expect, given how most of the goods are acquired – but quantities are often low and there are often unscrupulous individuals in the area. It's really a buyer's market, unless you find it awkward to go near main stations. Fuel and basic equipment are available, at a premium. Their out-of-the-way location can make FTZs hard to find, but they are marked as "Z" on the [[Advanced_Space_Compass|Advanced Space Compass]].

Free Trade Zones exist because of the highly complex legal nature of Multi-Government planets, their collective paranoia over perceived sovereignty infringements by GalCop, and their general inability to make collective decisions. Although FTZs are recognised as nation states by the planetary authorities, GalCop currently regard those who visit these stations as (minor) Offenders, and will garnish your legal status accordingly. As part of the deal with GalCop, the FTZs are obliged to provide information on all who enter and leave. Despite persistent GalCop requests, however, they still refuse to give details of those ships' cargo manifests, citing "commercial confidentiality".

Free Trade Zones are found in the [http://www.box.net/shared/e43ftmvqmr ''Free Trade Zone''] OXP (version 0.15, updated 8 October 2010).

Disembodied: /* Blaze O'Glory */

==Blaze O'Glory==

Commander "Blaze O'Glory" is the current pseudonym of an individual with a, to say the least, murky past. More than twenty years ago, it appears he was a starship pilot who suffered some form of mishap and was forced to eject. A series of failures in the escape pod systems – possibly damaged in the attack or accident – put the pod into a highly eccentric elliptical orbit around the star. By sheer chance the pod, now pitted by micrometeorites and scoured by solar radiation, was picked up a couple of years ago. The pod was turned over to the Moray Medicals, who, to their surprise and growing horror, discovered that the occupant was still alive.

The internal life-support mechanisms had been radically altered. Resyk units had been patched, recircuited and reprioritised, mated in desperate ways with the onboard autodoc, and stretched far beyond their design limits. The pilot was, indeed, alive: but no closed system is 100% efficient. Over the years the machinery had been forced to cannibalise all available resources to maintain core brain activity. "All available resources" ... you don't need legs to live, or arms; or skin; or flesh; or bones. Then one major organ system after another had been consumed, their functions taken over by mechanical processes. By the time rescue came, the pilot had been stripped down, piece by piece, reduced – simplified – to a nervous system and nothing else, held suspended in a soupy fluid within a pressure suit.

The motto of the Moray Medicals is "Never Say Die". This case tested it to its fullest. Eventually, however, with infinite patience, they excised this bundle of nerves from its warped cocoon and placed it in a specially-designed suspensor tank, meshed into sensor webs and a set of basic manipulators. Then they handed it over to the Psychs – and hit the local bars, hard.

The pilot's original personality and memories were almost wholly gone. But radical egosurgery and experimental wetware did manage to coax a functioning, and to all intents and purposes sane, individual from the remains.

[[Image:radiomaru.png|thumb|right|The ''Radio Maru'' leaves orbit]]A long-running legal battle ensued between the Medicals, the disembodied brain (now referring to itself as "Blaze O'Glory", which caused the Psychs some concern) and EV-Away!, the manufacturers of his escape pod. The pod's black-box recorder had been cooked, and there was no record of who the pilot actually was, how much his insurance policy should pay out, or if it was even still valid. Eventually, suffering from increasing bad publicity, the manufacturers caved in and agreed to settle out of court. The medical bills were paid, and Blaze O'Glory was given a basic ship and 100 creds. EV-Away! had at first suggested a Worm, but O'Glory stuck to his guns and held out for a minimum-spec Cobra Mk III, which he named the ''Potage Électrique''. His pilot's skills, although perhaps – who can say? – not what they used to be, seem at least adequate: he's now rated Deadly with over 4,000 confirmed kills, and has fought and traded his way up to a cherry-red Wolf Mark II SE, the ''Radio Maru'', too. Clamped into the fabric of the ship, and wired directly to the controls, he's carving out a new life for himself across the quadrant.

===Known Ships===
''Potage Électrique'', [[Cobra Mk.3 (Oolite)|Cobra Mark III]]

''Likely Story'', [[Iguana (Oolite)|Iguana]]

''Prodigal Daughter'', [[Python Class Cruiser]]

''Radio Maru'', [[Wolf Mk.2 (Oolite)|Wolf Mark II]] (current; recently upgraded to '''Wolf Mark II Special Edition''')

===Elite Rating===
'''Deadly'''

===Legal Status===
Blaze O'Glory is currently rated '''Clean'''. His record contains one misdemeanor, now expired, for launching from a GalCo-op station with a ton of Narcotics on board. He was briefly listed as '''Fugitive – Most Wanted – Shoot on Sight''' following an incident on Gelegeus in Galaxy 1. O'Glory was arrested and charged with '''Creating Alarm and Despond''', '''Disrupting the Orderly Operation of the Station''', '''Impersonating a Hostile Intelligence''', and '''Trading in Sub-Standard Goods (Liquors, Wines and Beverages subsection)'''. He was found Not Guilty on all counts. An attempt by Commander O'Glory to sue the station for wrongful arrest was dismissed by the Gelegeus Merchants' Court.

====The Gelegeus Incident====
O'Glory has published his own account of the events on Gelegeus:

:''Oh dear. I'd hoped that people had forgotten about that embarrassing little episode. Really, it was a long time ago, and was nothing more than a stupid misunderstanding that's been blown out of all proportion. I suppose I should set the record straight.

:''I was pretty raw back then, both as a pilot and as an individual. I was still flying my first ship, the ''Potage Électrique'', a [[Cobra_Mk.3_%28Oolite%29|Cobra III]], and I was still finding out about myself. Was I a hard-working trader? A sundogging space bum? A stone-cold killer? Of course, now I realise that these crude categories don't really describe anyone, but in the early days I was just the basic core of a personality, built up from wetware wafers and pseudo-experiences, grafted onto whatever rudimentary neural structures remained from whoever was in here before me. I was seeking some kind of definition.

:''Anyway, I'd fitted out the ''Potage Électrique'' with a [[Military_Lasers|military laser]] and upped her shields. I'd had a few firefights before, of course, but on a small scale and in self-defence only. Now I was off looking for trouble.

:''Gelegeus and its neighbouring systems (Zaleriza, anarchy; Xeenle, anarchy; Eszaraxe, anarchy; Isveve, anarchy; Xeesenri, anarchy) is a good place to find that. Honestly, the whole sector is in chaos; there must be something in the background radiation. So in I went, and although I gave as good as I got, and then some – pushed my ratings all the way up from "Average" to "Competent" in five jumps – I scared myself silly in the process. I'll fight, if it comes down to it, and kill if I have to, but I take no joy in it. I was not, it would seem, a pirate, assassin or bounty-hunter. I decided to get out while I was still in one piece, and headed for Biisza, the only island of sanity in the whole volume.

:''To get there, though, I had to head through Gelegeus. It's a [[Powers_and_Organisations#Multi-Government_Worlds|multi-government]] system, a backwards little poor agricultural. I wish I'd just sunskimmed and headed on for Biisza, but there was a "[[Free Trade Zone]]" lurking between me and the star so I ran in to the main station instead.

:''Well that was a ropey run and no mistake. I fought through a five-way furball, dealt with a lone-wolf [[Asp_%28Oolite%29|Asp]], and got jumped by a [[Fer-de-Lance_%28Oolite|Fer-de-Lance]] and his two [[Cobra_Mk.1_%28Oolite%29|Cobra 1]] friends all in the space of three hundred klicks. As the dust cleared, and I was setting up to collect some cargo, I spotted two [[Iguana_%28Oolite%29|Iguanas]], a [[Cat_%28Oolite%29|Cat]] and a big [[Python_%28Oolite%29|Black Dog]] sliding in. Being somewhat beat up, I decided that discretion was the better part of valour, and survival was the cherry on the top. I hightailed it out on my [[Witch_fuel_injectors|injectors]]. Fortunately they were too busy reaping the rewards of my hard labours to bother with more than a token pursuit.

:''So by the time I got into Gelegeus station, I was in a pretty foul mood. It got worse after I discovered that the local scutters weren't remotely qualified to carry out any of the necessary repairs. Then I received a demand to explain a discrepancy in my bill of lading; a cannister of [[Commodities#Luxuries|luxury goods]] which I'd had in there had been destroyed in the fighting, but the Gelegeusians were claiming it was still there and was actually [[Commodities#Liquor.2FWines|liquor and wines]]. Basically, a whole good ton of Solageonian Tree-Wolf musk had been blown all over the inside of the cargo bay, but the dock crew were prepared to drink the residue so as far as they were concerned it was booze. I told them that if they wanted to drink it, they were welcome and with my blessing, as long as they finished servicing the ''Potage Électrique'' first. Okay and thank you, came the reply, but could I just indent the bill – manually, of all things. I told you they were backwards.

:''Fine. Right. I popped the canopy and trundled out onto the wing of the ''Potage'': and that's when all hell broke loose. Suddenly there was screaming and shouting, and klaxons going off all over; scutters were bumping into each other, blast-doors were clanging down and a bunch of local Blues came charging out waving a goddam EMpulser, screaming about an outbreak and ordering everyone to crash their systems. Well, I turned around to get back into the cockpit and purge the computer when the bastards opened up – on me.

:''I locked up dead. My core systems were shielded, of course, but I was still in my original basic transport body. My manipulators, my treads, my communications, my sensorium, all got pulled down by the EMP. I was caught in frozen darkness: no sound, no sight, no sensation at all, just me and my neurons, all on our ownsome, for what seemed like an eternity but probably wasn't much longer than a couple of hours.

:''They don't get many cyborgs through there; certainly none as radical as yours truly. Turned out that somebody, some half-witted hick farmer in the control booth who read too much science fiction, had clocked me for an autonomous AI, a rogue robot about to inject an uplift virus into the station systems and fling Gelegeus into a singularity event. Like I said, backwards. Anyway, to cover their embarrassment, and probably to forestall any lawsuit on my part, they charged me with "Impersonating a Hostile Intelligence", "Creating Alarm and Despond", and "Disrupting the Orderly Operation of the Station". Oh, and "Trading in Sub-Standard Goods (Liquors, Wines and Beverages subsection)", too. They actually put me on trial, would you believe, after first fitting me out with a replacement sensorium (black-and-white, it was, and pretty damn grainy) and a voicebox that made me sound like I was gargling gravel. At least they managed to repair my transport body: at one point it looked like they were going to have to wheel me into the courtroom on a cart. This is where all that "Fugitive" nonsense comes from; before the trial, the ''Potage'' was impounded and my transponder was clicked up to a stupidly high criminal rating to prevent me "fleeing justice". Standard practice on Gelegeus, apparently: given that their Blues are so damn incompetent it's probably even a good idea.

:''The whole charade collapsed when it came to court, of course. The charges were dropped, my legal status returned to normal, and my good name restored (although not, I see, before the rumour-mills started to spin all manner of nonsense about me...). I did raise the issue of compensation, but that proved a non-starter: it was, apparently, an "honest mistake" and everyone concerned had "followed operational protocol". I thought briefly about pushing it – but I'd already spend far too many days of my brief life in numbing courtroom battles. I just wanted to get up, get out, and never come back.

:''I did, to my later shame, make some intemperate remarks to a local fax reporter about "scarlet-arsed forkheads", which didn't go down too well, and did cause some later resentment among other red horned humanoids who heard it. Well. I was young, I was stupid, and I was deeply, deeply pissed off. Still no excuse, though. People are people, whether they're blue, green, red, black, yellow, furry, bald, slimy, chitinous, or floating in a jar.

:''So. There's the whole sorry story. I shook the dust of Gelegeus from my tracks and lit out for brighter stars. I did upgrade my personal systems soon after, which I feel was a good thing: it helped ground me in a sense of who and what I am. And I did put out a general statement of apology for my use of the f-word, which I hope was accepted by horned communities everywhere as an unfortunate outburst under stressful circumstances. Certainly the people of Onenla didn't seem to care; then again, they're a pretty enlightened bunch. I, for one, will not be back again in Gelegeus in this lifetime, so what they think of me there I know little and care even less.

===Media Attention===
[[Image:Space_Madness.png|thumb|right|Blaze O'Glory's TeraScreen advertisement for Mental Fixative]] Blaze O'Glory's rescue and rehabilitation, and his legal tussle with EV-Away!, gained some coverage in a number of pilot newsfeeds. The resulting publicity persuaded [[NeuroCorp]] to use him as the spokesbeing for their psychostabilising medication ''Dr Sigmund Schmigmund's Mental Fixative''.

[[Image:Gelegeusger_Novaar.png|thumb|left|The ''Gelegeusger Novaar'''s version of events]]Several scandal-sheets ran spurious stories concerning his actions on Gelegeus: most notoriously the ''Gelegeusger Novaar'', which claimed that Commander O'Glory had attempted to murder the inhabitants of Gelegeus Coriolis 1 with a cargo-pod full of of nerve gas, and had intended to crash the station onto Miffi, the capital city of the nation of Mifvivanana ("'''The Brain of Death!'''", ''Gelegeusger Novaar'' 1337-47, pp1-23). A retraction was eventually published ("'''3 Down: He's not really a genocidal psychopath (5,6)'''", ''Gelegeusger Novaar'' 1337-58, Junior Jumble pullout supplement, p16).

===Notable Activity===
After he provided assistance to the Ousian Academy of Science's climate control project on Onenla, in Galaxy 2, a small statue of Commander O'Glory was erected in the reception lobby of Onenla Station 1. It was recently moved to the Food Court on Level 4, following a petition by the Onenla Institute of Fine Art.

===Publications===
[[Image:RGcoverwiki.jpg|thumb|right|''The Rough Guide to the Ooniverse'']]O'Glory edited the first six entries to [[Rough Guide|''The Rough Guide to the Ooniverse'']] and wrote the short story [http://www.box.net/shared/3dob2hvj9a|''Local Midnight at the Vacuum Bar'']. He is also listed as the "author" of the lightly-fictionalised [[Calliope|''Calliope - a Captain Hesperus adventure'']].

Free Trade Zones exist because of the highly complex legal nature of Multi-Government planets, their collective paranoia over perceived sovereignty infringements by GalCop, and their general inability to make collective decisions. Although FTZs are recognised as nation states by the planetary authorities, GalCop currently regard those who visit these stations as (minor) Offenders, and will garnish your legal status accordingly. As part of the deal with GalCop, the FTZs are obliged to provide information on all who enter and leave. Despite persistent GalCop requests, however, they still refuse to give details of those ships' cargo manifests, citing "commercial confidentiality".

Free Trade Zones are found in the [http://www.box.net/shared/e43ftmvqmr ''Free Trade Zone''] OXP (version 0.14, updated 31 August 2010).

|
|Ships. The first of the Pan-Galaxy Outlaw clans to rise through the leadership of some diabolical criminal genius. What are his, or indeed hers or, further indeed, its future plans? Will their nefarious example be followed by others? The answers are out there...
All ships in this version are playable. Future versions (probably modular for memory saving reasons) will have more clans, the ability to join clans (if I master the arcane art of programming), stations and missions. Stay untuned, folks.

| Feature/Ships/Stations. Complete overhaul of Oolite's legal rating system. It gets harder to become clean again. But there are some new ways to achieve this as well: Hacker Outposts can be found in the higher tech [[Powers_and_Organisations#Anarchy_Worlds|Anarchy systems]], the criminals willing to clear a fugitive's legal record. For a price of course! Salvage Gangs are spread all over the Ooniverse, providing good equipment deals. Those in Anarchy systems offer a service similar to the Hacker Outposts as well. Sentinel Stations are placed in some of the worst Anarchies. But beware! Some of them have been overthrown by the pirates and are now Renegade Stations. Good news for the pirates among the players, because these are as close to a safe-haven for you as it gets! All of these also feature their own ships.

Some claim that it's the ghost of Commander Peter Jameson, reported lost at the end of the last Thargoid War, others that it is simply a manifestation of all those lost souls who were trapped in the trackless depths of interstellar space. One common story is the trail of bad luck and hideous deaths that follow in the wake of the ship's sightings...

==Blaze O'Glory==

Commander "Blaze O'Glory" is the current pseudonym of an individual with a, to say the least, murky past. More than twenty years ago, it appears he was a starship pilot who suffered some form of mishap and was forced to eject. A series of failures in the escape pod systems – possibly damaged in the attack or accident – put the pod into a highly eccentric elliptical orbit around the star. By sheer chance the pod, now pitted by micrometeorites and scoured by solar radiation, was picked up a couple of years ago. The pod was turned over to the Moray Medicals, who, to their surprise and growing horror, discovered that the occupant was still alive.

The internal life-support mechanisms had been radically altered. Resyk units had been patched, recircuited and reprioritised, mated in desperate ways with the onboard autodoc, and stretched far beyond their design limits. The pilot was, indeed, alive: but no closed system is 100% efficient. Over the years the machinery had been forced to cannibalise all available resources to maintain core brain activity. "All available resources" ... you don't need legs to live, or arms; or skin; or flesh; or bones. Then one major organ system after another had been consumed, their functions taken over by mechanical processes. By the time rescue came, the pilot had been stripped down, piece by piece, reduced – simplified – to a nervous system and nothing else, held suspended in a soupy fluid within a pressure suit.

The motto of the Moray Medicals is "Never Say Die". This case tested it to its fullest. Eventually, however, with infinite patience, they excised this bundle of nerves from its warped cocoon and placed it in a specially-designed suspensor tank, meshed into sensor webs and a set of basic manipulators. Then they handed it over to the Psychs – and hit the local bars, hard.

The pilot's original personality and memories were almost wholly gone. But radical egosurgery and experimental wetware did manage to coax a functioning, and to all intents and purposes sane, individual from the remains.

[[Image:radiomaru.png|thumb|right|The ''Radio Maru'' leaves orbit]]A long-running legal battle ensued between the Medicals, the disembodied brain (now referring to itself as "Blaze O'Glory", which caused the Psychs some concern) and EV-Away!, the manufacturers of his escape pod. The pod's black-box recorder had been cooked, and there was no record of who the pilot actually was, how much his insurance policy should pay out, or if it was even still valid. Eventually, suffering from increasing bad publicity, the manufacturers caved in and agreed to settle out of court. The medical bills were paid, and Blaze O'Glory was given a basic ship and 100 creds. EV-Away! had at first suggested a Worm, but O'Glory stuck to his guns and held out for a minimum-spec Cobra Mk III, which he named the ''Potage Électrique''. His pilot's skills, although perhaps – who can say? – not what they used to be, seem at least adequate: he's now rated Deadly with over 3,000 confirmed kills, and has fought and traded his way up to a cherry-red Wolf Mark II SE, the ''Radio Maru'', too. Clamped into the fabric of the ship, and wired directly to the controls, he's carving out a new life for himself across the quadrant.

===Known Ships===
''Potage Électrique'', [[Cobra Mk.3 (Oolite)|Cobra Mark III]]

''Likely Story'', [[Iguana (Oolite)|Iguana]]

''Prodigal Daughter'', [[Python Class Cruiser]]

''Radio Maru'', [[Wolf Mk.2 (Oolite)|Wolf Mark II]] (current; recently upgraded to '''Wolf Mark II Special Edition''')

===Elite Rating===
'''Deadly'''

===Legal Status===
Blaze O'Glory is currently rated '''Clean'''. His record contains one misdemeanor, now expired, for launching from a GalCo-op station with a ton of Narcotics on board. He was briefly listed as '''Fugitive – Most Wanted – Shoot on Sight''' following an incident on Gelegeus in Galaxy 1. O'Glory was arrested and charged with '''Creating Alarm and Despond''', '''Disrupting the Orderly Operation of the Station''', '''Impersonating a Hostile Intelligence''', and '''Trading in Sub-Standard Goods (Liquors, Wines and Beverages subsection)'''. He was found Not Guilty on all counts. An attempt by Commander O'Glory to sue the station for wrongful arrest was dismissed by the Gelegeus Merchants' Court.

====The Gelegeus Incident====
O'Glory has published his own account of the events on Gelegeus:

:''Oh dear. I'd hoped that people had forgotten about that embarrassing little episode. Really, it was a long time ago, and was nothing more than a stupid misunderstanding that's been blown out of all proportion. I suppose I should set the record straight.

:''I was pretty raw back then, both as a pilot and as an individual. I was still flying my first ship, the ''Potage Électrique'', a [[Cobra_Mk.3_%28Oolite%29|Cobra III]], and I was still finding out about myself. Was I a hard-working trader? A sundogging space bum? A stone-cold killer? Of course, now I realise that these crude categories don't really describe anyone, but in the early days I was just the basic core of a personality, built up from wetware wafers and pseudo-experiences, grafted onto whatever rudimentary neural structures remained from whoever was in here before me. I was seeking some kind of definition.

:''Anyway, I'd fitted out the ''Potage Électrique'' with a [[Military_Lasers|military laser]] and upped her shields. I'd had a few firefights before, of course, but on a small scale and in self-defence only. Now I was off looking for trouble.

:''Gelegeus and its neighbouring systems (Zaleriza, anarchy; Xeenle, anarchy; Eszaraxe, anarchy; Isveve, anarchy; Xeesenri, anarchy) is a good place to find that. Honestly, the whole sector is in chaos; there must be something in the background radiation. So in I went, and although I gave as good as I got, and then some – pushed my ratings all the way up from "Average" to "Competent" in five jumps – I scared myself silly in the process. I'll fight, if it comes down to it, and kill if I have to, but I take no joy in it. I was not, it would seem, a pirate, assassin or bounty-hunter. I decided to get out while I was still in one piece, and headed for Biisza, the only island of sanity in the whole volume.

:''To get there, though, I had to head through Gelegeus. It's a [[Powers_and_Organisations#Multi-Government_Worlds|multi-government]] system, a backwards little poor agricultural. I wish I'd just sunskimmed and headed on for Biisza, but there was a "[[Free Trade Zone]]" lurking between me and the star so I ran in to the main station instead.

:''Well that was a ropey run and no mistake. I fought through a five-way furball, dealt with a lone-wolf [[Asp_%28Oolite%29|Asp]], and got jumped by a [[Fer-de-Lance_%28Oolite|Fer-de-Lance]] and his two [[Cobra_Mk.1_%28Oolite%29|Cobra 1]] friends all in the space of three hundred klicks. As the dust cleared, and I was setting up to collect some cargo, I spotted two [[Iguana_%28Oolite%29|Iguanas]], a [[Cat_%28Oolite%29|Cat]] and a big [[Python_%28Oolite%29|Black Dog]] sliding in. Being somewhat beat up, I decided that discretion was the better part of valour, and survival was the cherry on the top. I hightailed it out on my [[Witch_fuel_injectors|injectors]]. Fortunately they were too busy reaping the rewards of my hard labours to bother with more than a token pursuit.

:''So by the time I got into Gelegeus station, I was in a pretty foul mood. It got worse after I discovered that the local scutters weren't remotely qualified to carry out any of the necessary repairs. Then I received a demand to explain a discrepancy in my bill of lading; a cannister of [[Commodities#Luxuries|luxury goods]] which I'd had in there had been destroyed in the fighting, but the Gelegeusians were claiming it was still there and was actually [[Commodities#Liquor.2FWines|liquor and wines]]. Basically, a whole good ton of Solageonian Tree-Wolf musk had been blown all over the inside of the cargo bay, but the dock crew were prepared to drink the residue so as far as they were concerned it was booze. I told them that if they wanted to drink it, they were welcome and with my blessing, as long as they finished servicing the ''Potage Électrique'' first. Okay and thank you, came the reply, but could I just indent the bill – manually, of all things. I told you they were backwards.

:''Fine. Right. I popped the canopy and trundled out onto the wing of the ''Potage'': and that's when all hell broke loose. Suddenly there was screaming and shouting, and klaxons going off all over; scutters were bumping into each other, blast-doors were clanging down and a bunch of local Blues came charging out waving a goddam EMpulser, screaming about an outbreak and ordering everyone to crash their systems. Well, I turned around to get back into the cockpit and purge the computer when the bastards opened up – on me.

:''I locked up dead. My core systems were shielded, of course, but I was still in my original basic transport body. My manipulators, my treads, my communications, my sensorium, all got pulled down by the EMP. I was caught in frozen darkness: no sound, no sight, no sensation at all, just me and my neurons, all on our ownsome, for what seemed like an eternity but probably wasn't much longer than a couple of hours.

:''They don't get many cyborgs through there; certainly none as radical as yours truly. Turned out that somebody, some half-witted hick farmer in the control booth who read too much science fiction, had clocked me for an autonomous AI, a rogue robot about to inject an uplift virus into the station systems and fling Gelegeus into a singularity event. Like I said, backwards. Anyway, to cover their embarrassment, and probably to forestall any lawsuit on my part, they charged me with "Impersonating a Hostile Intelligence", "Creating Alarm and Despond", and "Disrupting the Orderly Operation of the Station". Oh, and "Trading in Sub-Standard Goods (Liquors, Wines and Beverages subsection)", too. They actually put me on trial, would you believe, after first fitting me out with a replacement sensorium (black-and-white, it was, and pretty damn grainy) and a voicebox that made me sound like I was gargling gravel. At least they managed to repair my transport body: at one point it looked like they were going to have to wheel me into the courtroom on a cart. This is where all that "Fugitive" nonsense comes from; before the trial, the ''Potage'' was impounded and my transponder was clicked up to a stupidly high criminal rating to prevent me "fleeing justice". Standard practice on Gelegeus, apparently: given that their Blues are so damn incompetent it's probably even a good idea.

:''The whole charade collapsed when it came to court, of course. The charges were dropped, my legal status returned to normal, and my good name restored (although not, I see, before the rumour-mills started to spin all manner of nonsense about me...). I did raise the issue of compensation, but that proved a non-starter: it was, apparently, an "honest mistake" and everyone concerned had "followed operational protocol". I thought briefly about pushing it – but I'd already spend far too many days of my brief life in numbing courtroom battles. I just wanted to get up, get out, and never come back.

:''I did, to my later shame, make some intemperate remarks to a local fax reporter about "scarlet-arsed forkheads", which didn't go down too well, and did cause some later resentment among other red horned humanoids who heard it. Well. I was young, I was stupid, and I was deeply, deeply pissed off. Still no excuse, though. People are people, whether they're blue, green, red, black, yellow, furry, bald, slimy, chitinous, or floating in a jar.

:''So. There's the whole sorry story. I shook the dust of Gelegeus from my tracks and lit out for brighter stars. I did upgrade my personal systems soon after, which I feel was a good thing: it helped ground me in a sense of who and what I am. And I did put out a general statement of apology for my use of the f-word, which I hope was accepted by horned communities everywhere as an unfortunate outburst under stressful circumstances. Certainly the people of Onenla didn't seem to care; then again, they're a pretty enlightened bunch. I, for one, will not be back again in Gelegeus in this lifetime, so what they think of me there I know little and care even less.

===Media Attention===
[[Image:Space_Madness.png|thumb|right|Blaze O'Glory's TeraScreen advertisement for Mental Fixative]] Blaze O'Glory's rescue and rehabilitation, and his legal tussle with EV-Away!, gained some coverage in a number of pilot newsfeeds. The resulting publicity persuaded [[NeuroCorp]] to use him as the spokesbeing for their psychostabilising medication ''Dr Sigmund Schmigmund's Mental Fixative''.

[[Image:Gelegeusger_Novaar.png|thumb|left|The ''Gelegeusger Novaar'''s version of events]]Several scandal-sheets ran spurious stories concerning his actions on Gelegeus: most notoriously the ''Gelegeusger Novaar'', which claimed that Commander O'Glory had attempted to murder the inhabitants of Gelegeus Coriolis 1 with a cargo-pod full of of nerve gas, and had intended to crash the station onto Miffi, the capital city of the nation of Mifvivanana ("'''The Brain of Death!'''", ''Gelegeusger Novaar'' 1337-47, pp1-23). A retraction was eventually published ("'''3 Down: He's not really a genocidal psychopath (5,6)'''", ''Gelegeusger Novaar'' 1337-58, Junior Jumble pullout supplement, p16).

===Notable Activity===
After he provided assistance to the Ousian Academy of Science's climate control project on Onenla, in Galaxy 2, a small statue of Commander O'Glory was erected in the reception lobby of Onenla Station 1. It was recently moved to the Food Court on Level 4, following a petition by the Onenla Institute of Fine Art.

===Publications===
[[Image:RGcoverwiki.jpg|thumb|right|''The Rough Guide to the Ooniverse'']]O'Glory edited the first six entries to [[Rough Guide|''The Rough Guide to the Ooniverse'']] and wrote the short story [http://www.box.net/shared/3dob2hvj9a|''Local Midnight at the Vacuum Bar'']. He is also listed as the "author" of the lightly-fictionalised [[Calliope|''Calliope - a Captain Hesperus adventure'']].

== System Independent Repair Facility ==

By "milinks", released 9th August 2006

This station is a part of the mission OXP Spylarn which is a 15MB mission OXP. I have submitted this part in order to gauge if people think it worthy to submit the entire mission OXP due to its size. People can always indicate either way here or on the main Oolite site. The station is a repair facility for ships in the systems. For ease i have placed this station near to each systems main station for viewing purposes etc. The Mission station does a lot more, but this is the visual side of it kinda, to see if people like it.
