RavenRed:

== Commander Red Ravens ==

Harvey Patrick Ravens was born on 15 December, 3378 in Lomasport (Coopersword, Aymiay [1,4]) to a loving callgirl mother and unknown father. His upbringing in the unusual environment of a brothel appears to have preconditioned his choice of career.

Despite showing significant academic potential, Red (his first name having changed for unknown reasons in early childhood) gravitated to Lomasport's teeming underworld, along the way forming a relationship with the similarly criminally minded Claire. Their joint criminal activities were successful in avoiding the attention of the authorities, but attracted attention of a different and far more dangerous sort.

The two came under the influence/tutelage of local godfather Johann Capsis and assumed key positions within his organisation, even though both were only in their late teens. Their grooming as Johann's lieutenants furnished both with
substantial intelligence and security skills. In Red's case, this included training in tax avoidance, numbers rackets and unarmed combat. An unspecified tragedy involving Red's friend Cuong caused Red to abandon his life of crime, borrowing heavily from Johann to purchase an Eagle Mk II and escape offworld to take up a career as a bounty hunter.

Not being a naturally gifted pilot, it was lucky that Red survived the crucial first few months of combat. This having been achieved, Red's risk assessment skills and strategic instincts came into play, ensuring a profitable few years, during which his Elite Rating rose gradually rather than meteorically. During this period, Red formed an off-again on-again relationship with an unknown freighter pilot. However, this relationship was only ever casual and did not survive the extended periods of separation inherent in spacer's lifestyles. It is also during this period that Red became (unwittingly) involved in a sucessful Imperial plot which has led to a black mark against his security record with the Federation. This experience deepened Red's cynicism with the universe and led to him becoming somewhat of a misanthrope.

Several years later, Red had the good fortune to run into Bec Chong in a bar on Conversion (Achenar [1,-4]). The pair immediately hit it off (platonically) and sold their own ships to jointly purchase a Constrictor (DE-013). Bec's superb
flying skills meshed very well with Red's tactical nous to form a potent combat duo, and their Elite Rating climbed accordingly. This was not, however, matched by financial security. Red's deference to Bec's risk-loving nature ensured that
repair bills were high and the monetary rewards were low. The moral vacuum in which the two also operated also suited Red's disengagement with wider events, even if he still provided an irregular Journal Column for the Coopersworld Tribune on interstellar politics. However, it was a comfortable groove of existence and this state of affairs might have continued for some time if not for the [[HPA Saga]].

Bec and Red's involvement in the vast conspiracy of the Huge Particle Accelerator led to a terminal deterioration in their relationship, along with a reorientation of Red's moral compass. Only when her leaving became inevitable did Red realise that he was somewhat in love with Bec. Unable to hold himself aloof from the tumultous events, Red was an active participant in the attempts to stop the plot, along with a very reluctant Bec and Alliance intelligence operative Catherine Beaumont. Their main opponent was the self-aggrandising Viscount Daniel Preston of Aymifa. Upon its failure, Red and Bec were taken prisoner by the Imperial Security Services. Whether through brainwashing or patriotism, Bec left Red's company and joined the Imperial Navy. Needing to get Red off planet to avoid the revenge of Viscount Preston, the Imperial Security Services recruited a young man, Pradesh, from the ranks of co-pilots seeking employment.

After giving his copilot some early basic training, Red went home for the first time in several years. He paid off the balance of his loan to Johann, introduced Pradesh to some of the realities of spacer life and came to somewhat of an accomodation with his old flame Claire. Despite the pull of familiarity, Red still decided that his future lay in space. (See [http://www.alioth.net/fiction Nothing Like the Prodigal] for further details)

After this, Red and Pradesh were blackmailed into retrieving an In Vitro Embryo for a passenger whilst doing a taxi job on the northern edge. This eventually involved infiltrating a pirate vessel, being taken in as a slave and blasted into interstellar space. However, due to the ingenuity and new-found experience of Pradesh, Red and the passenger managed to be saved, "child" intact.

Subsequently, a simple taxi contract led to Red and Pradesh having an ethical clash, involving a digital actor, a dead theatrical agent and a promise of redemption. There was also a significant duel with a fellow bounty hunter, in which Pradesh showcased his growing skills and abilities in space combat. The argument only ended by Red pulling rank (as owner of the ship), leading to resentment on Pradesh's part.

-----

Physically, Red is about one hundred and fifty centimetres tall and approximately ninety three kilos. As can be imagined, this leads to a somewhat stocky frame This is normal for humans born on his planet of origin, which has a high-G environment. Despite his name, Red is dark haired and skinned. He is deceptively quick to move, but would still finish dead last in most footraces. He is mathematically gifted and also skilled at hand-to-hand combat. The latter somewhat compensates for his extreme dislike of handguns, and he makes little use of the former except in calculating gambling odds.

Red has a strong moral sense, which is constantly at war with both his cynicism and his desire to remain emotionally aloof. Whilst he can be annoyingly patronising, this is usually compensated for by self-deprecating humour and genuine attempts at empathy. Whilst Red lacks ambition of almost any sort, short-term goals focus his attention like a laser, and curiosity can often lead him further down the path of commitment than he would otherwise dream of going.

RavenRed:

== ...but a walking shadow, poor player ==

This piece of FEU fiction (by Ben Peake) describes [[Red Ravens]] and his co-pilot Pradesh's encounter with an entertainment industry agent called Kasparowicz and his "talent", a digital actor named Michael-17.

An ethical dilemma raises its ugly head as concepts of freedom and duty conflict.

=== Notes ===
The title is from Macbeth, Act V., Scene V.

Federation

2006-01-31T23:58:32Z

RavenRed: Some edits, some clean ups.

=='''Overview'''==
The Federation sees itself as the centre of the [[galaxies | galaxy]], and more importantly, the centre of humanity. Its capital system, Sol, is the birthplace of humanity. It prides itself on its [[democracy]], freedom of speech and the high level of living standards for its citizens.

Other [[political factions]] see the federation as an old, decadent, corrupt establishment, which will probably fall apart of its own rot and decay.

=='''Politics'''==

Both versions are more or less true. Although the Federation has a strong navy, and promotes patriotism to drive its peoples (as opposed to genetics or internal repression (See [[Empire]])) it suffers the fate of all large, hierarchical empires, which include corruption, state secrecy and the triumph of wealth over justice. Whilst not unique to the Federation, they still represent a challenge to its idealised self-image.

The Federation's attitude to the Empire is of implacable opposition, as the Empire represents opposition to all the Federation's ideas. The less charitable also note that the Federation psyche has not yet got over the insult of the original Achenari "insurgency" many hundreds of years ago. The two powers are locked in an almost constant state of Cold War, with occasional flare-ups of armed hostility. This spills over into many areas of Federation cultural and political life, which leads to significant distortions of public life and policy.

The attitude to the [[Alliance]] is considerably more ambivalent. Despite the fact that the Alliance was formed as an attempt to resist both Imperial ''and'' Federation dominance, the relationship between the two can be described as more or less friendly rivalry, which has not spiralled into direct conflict yet, although the increasing clout of the new and relatively uncorrupted power has provided significant areas of tension and border incidents.

Independent worlds have generally been save from Federal conquest, if only for the reasons that such activity would quickly attract the Imperial and Alliance war fleets. Wheras the Federation would not object (per se) to their addition to the list of aligned worlds, the Federation is generally too big and too politically inert to take any actions to bring this about.

=='''Navy'''==

The Federation boasts the most powerful fleet in the known Galaxy, on par with the Imperial War Machine. Based out of [[Eta Cassiopeia]], the Federation Navy Centre, the navy's fleets patrol human space, engaging in border clashes with both the Empire and the Alliance, as well as peace keeping missions in systems of civil war or disputed systems.

=='''Sphere of Influence'''==

The Federation borders stretch from [[Beta Hydri]] in the 'South', bordering the Imperial Systems, up to Eta Cassiopeia and the Federation/Alliance border in the 'North'. Systems of note within the Federation borders include [[Delta Pavonis]], [[Tau Ceti]] and the "homeworlds" including [[Sol]] and the industrial centre of [[Barnards Star]]. Several systems not within the immediate vicinity of Earth nonetheless swear allegiance to the Federation Government. Examples include [[Tiliala]] [-4,-1] and [[Quiness]] [-8,6]

There are also several systems within the Federation border which do not swear allegiance to the Federation, but remain indepedent, retaining soveriegnty and their own laws. These range from religious enclaves like the [[van Maneens Star]], to communist worlds like [[YZ Canis Minoris]] to corporate systems such as the [[Siruis]] system (Home to Sirius Corp, the biggest manufacturer of military fuel in the galaxy). Whilst the influence of the Federation is not absolute within it's borders, the powerful navy and almost-as-powerful Federal bureaucracy ensure that violent insurrection is almost unknown.

=='''History'''==

The Federation was formed as a response to the attempts at genocide on Tau Ceti 3 in the 2240s, this was suppressed by the newly formed political entity, which spread its influence throughout known space. The success of the rebellion on [[Achenar]] only served to strengthen the political unity of the Federation, as well as give it a distinctly bellicose character.

Since that time, the Federation and the Empire had been in a state of perpeptual Cold War, only interrupted once in 900 years. It was during the 3000's that humanity made contact with another intelligent lifeform. Unfortunately, this contact came in the form of an unprovoked attack on the alien ship, resulting in a long and costly war with the technologically superior insectoid species, known as the [[Thargoids]].

Joining forces with its old enemy, the Empire, The Inter-Galactic Navy Research Arm, or [[INRA]] was formed. INRA was involved in finding ways to combat the Thargoid menace through both military and non military means. The joint operations served to forge together

After the end of the [[Thargoid War]] (later renamed the War of Mutual Misunderstanding, after contact with the aliens was reestablished) INRA disappeared into the darkness of myth, and the Federation returned to its cold war with the Empire.

This cold war was fundamentally changed when the Alliance was formed, during an otherwise routine conflict over the ownership of [[Alioth]] between Federal and Imperial warfleets. The repulsion of both forces by the natives of Alioth was a severe black-eye to the Federation, although the Alliance would prove to be as implacable a foe of the Empire as the Federation itself was. Once equilibrium was reached between the powers, the Federation was sandwiched between the tradtional rival of the Achenari empire and the new rival on its northern frontier. To an extent, this has produced a siege mentality, although relationships with both remain "neutral".

Can we wikify these documents or is it under copyrights? A_H

Might be better just to link with them. In future, I'd like to see fiction posted DIRECTLY on the Wiki, similarly to the type pasted on the EBBS, but unless the copyrighholders agree (which I'd be VERY careful about), links are the best way to go for existing fiction.

Simply because they're sodding huge... ;) More seriously, NLTP is a .pdf file, which I think would be a pain to reformat (italicisation is not to be ignored) and in the case of HPA, you'll need the permission of the other writers (primarily Frantic, Norman Mosser and Winston). If you can get that, and be bothered (I think Corbeau earned the Croat equivalent of a Purple Heart by gathering it all into a single file somewhere) then feel free. However, I'd give careful consideration to formatting, otherwise it could become a big, ugly wiki page. --[[User:RavenRed|RavenRed]] 02:33, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

Alliance

2006-01-20T01:37:20Z

RavenRed: Initial Skeleton for The Alliance

== The Alliance ==

=== Overview ===
Formed in 3230 and centred in the Alioth System [0,4], the Alliance has become the "third force" in the Galaxy, commanding an increasingly important role against the old powers of the [[Empire]] and [[Federation]]. It is portrayed as being a beacon of human rights and democracy in an increasingly autocratic universe and has a weaker state than either the totalitarian Empire or authoritarian Federation. Significantly, it is also strong enough to throw its own weight around rather than just being a "spoiler" grouping. This renders the Alliance the closest to a "White Hat" that can be found in the Galaxy

=== Politics ===
Non-belligerent opposition to the major powers has been the hallmark of the Alliance, at least since the bloody resistance campaign at foundation (see '''History''' below). Whilst militarily self-sufficient, the Alliance's true strength lies in the willingness of its populace to defend its ideals. This "citizen's militia" approach has proved surprisingly effective, and makes public opinion within the Alliance both a vital tool and a potential threat. The Alliance is also a much looser grouping than the relatively unitary states of the other two powers, and whilst this reduces the interdependence and shared sense of nation, it also allows for a variety of worlds to join together without the conflict and rebellion that can characterise large empires. Having said that, the human rights treaties which are a precondition for joining mean that member worlds will share more values than not.

=== Sphere of Influence ===
The Alliance proper comprises 24 worlds (excluding the newest world, Phekda) all roghtly contained in the rectangle formed by map references [0,4] to [-3,6]. Wheras the Alliace holds some sway over the systems directly to Galactic south and east, its influence is somewhat checked by the presence of the Federal Military HQ at Eta Cassiopea [0,2]. Nearby Federal worlds have also shown somewhat of a tendancy to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finlandization Finlandize], although the strong Federation state apparatus has kept these worlds in check. The Alliance also has a broader appeal within the Federation as a more idealised and less corrupt example of "how the Federation should be run". Needless to say, this movement is non-existent within the Empire, and the geographical distance from Imperial Space renders their rivalry more ideological that physical.

(To be Completed)

"it can pack a punch, if it has been turned into an Iron Arse " Sadly for devotees of ''proper'' English, it ''is'' an Iron Ass... cf [http://www.iancgbell.clara.net/elite/dkwheel.htm The Dark Wheel]... --[[User:RavenRed|RavenRed]]

== 'Ass' is correct ==

I don't think Iron Ass in this context is talking about an iron rear end. From the context, or at least I infer, 'ass' means donkey-like animal; it seems that there is an undercurrent in The Dark Wheel that a slang term for your ship is 'an ass', and therefore 'an iron ass' is a well defended or strong ship. 'Ass' because most ships are capable of the unglamorous pack-animal job of trade. --Winston

yeah i was tossing that one up, thought i had a 50/50 chance of being right

The blurb is the Elite-classic blurb, FFE does not have aquatic spacefaring races...only Man and the Thargoids. :Neither of which are aquatic, unless you count the Unlaveans, human colonials who have adapted themselves to their watery planet. [[User:Arexack]]

Harris Fighter

2006-01-17T00:43:11Z

RavenRed: Gah... Gross / Hull Mass Measures all borked up...

{{Infobox ShipStats Frontier| title = Harris Fighter
|image = [[Image:Harris.gif]]
|ladenmass = 111t
|hullmass = 28t
|capacity = 83t
|mainaccel = 21.1g

|hyperrange = '''Class 2''':10.81 '''Class 3''':24.32 '''Class 4''':43.24

|fuelscoop = yes
}}

== Overview ==
The Perez Corporation advertised this as a leading edge combat ship, and they certainly delivered the goods, even if with a minor quibble or two. It's hard to find better in the role for which they were designed, and it is consequently a popular seller and excellent keeper. These are often seen in formations of three, and are a dangerous opponent if well outfitted and commanded.

== Notable Features ==
Harris is a tough and largish fighter, with decent enough acceleration and handling to be a very tough opponent in a dogfight. The distinctive and elegant X-wing shape belies the thick hull, allowing it to absorb a good deal of punishment whilst the nippy acceleration allows it to outpace most of it's potential adversaries (with the notable exception of the [[Asp Explorer|Asp]].

== Disadvantages ==
The Harris is not the ideal ship, however, being slow through hyperspace (rendering it questionable for courier / assassinations) and only having two missile mounts. It is also slightly too small to be a proper multi-role ship on the terms of, for example, the [[Imperial Courier]]. Pick a role and stick to it. Three crew also seems overkill for a ship of this size. These are, though, minor quibbles.

== Verdict ==
A nice ship, perhaps lacking the "edge" to be truly great, the Harris is still an excellent choice for the combateer with size, toughness and manoeuvrability. For straight-up bounty hunting or a Military Career, there are few finer.

Osprey X

== Overview ==
For those who think that light fighters aren't worth using, a few hours throwing one of these beauties about will quickly change their minds. Jostles with the [[Eagle Long Range Fighter Mk 3|Eagle Mk 3]] for the title of King of the Light Fighters, the Osprey X is a big, BIG upgrade on it's predecessor [[Osprey Attack Fighter]], whilst retaining almost all of the former's strengths.

== Notable Features ==
Ridiculously, despite being over double the size, the Osprey X is actually ''faster'' than the Osprey, with a blistering 29.2G forward acceleration. It manages this whilst being large enough to take four missiles (important for a small craft) and enough space for a few goodies. As far as light fighters go, the Empire doesn't build 'em better.

== Disadvantages ==
In pure size, this still falls well below even the smaller medium fighters, and as a newish craft, it can be somewhat difficult to find. It's also not a particularly long-range craft, which can make it somewhat frustrating to use in sparsely populated areas of space.

== Verdict ==
These high-performance craft represent some of the best in spacecraft design, and is an absolute pleasure to fly. Although it is unlikely that a spacer will finish their career in this craft[1] it will certainly be remembered as an exhilarating and enjoyable period in command of a powerful and tough craft.

The craft which more or less defined "light fighter" is still a viable choice for the courier or less-well-off bounty hunter.

Speed is the hallmark of the entire Eagle range, and this early example still stands up very well. 20t of space allows for the bare necessities and nothing but, so don't get too ambitious.

== Disadvantages ==
The disadvantage of this craft is basically its size. You can't fit a lot in there, and to try is merely to ask more of the craft than it's able to give.

A perfect craft to learn any of the more aggressive trades on, the Eagle will give you long and distinguished service in any role you ask of it... provided you only ask it to be a nippy little pest of a combat ship.

The fuss surrounding this ship's release in 3183 was as nothing to the controversy involving who was responsible for its shoddy design. Seven years of design, and the best they could come up with was ''this''? As an upgrade from the [[Eagle Long Range Fighter|Mk I]], the designers treated ship design as a zero-sum game, and by some accounts, the Federal Military Research Directorate has yet to recover from the gaffe.

== Notable Features ==
The Mk II remains one of the faster small ships on the market, and has decent capacity for outfitting as a fighter. It's also highly manoeuvrable, and most pirates will have difficulty drawing a bead on you. This is fortunate, as it's small enough to not be able to take much punishment.

== Disadvantages ==
No, the figure for the retros here is NOT a misprint. 4G is laughably weak for even a cargo ship, and for a small craft such as this it's unforgiveable. You'll be tempted not to install an autopilot and just manually [[Flip manoeuvre|flip]] the craft around every time.

== Verdict ==
Only buy if desperate or if you're in the mood for a challenging (and probably brief) career.

Moray Starboat (Frontier)

}}

== Overview ==
As its name suggests, the ''Moray Starboat'' is derived from a sea faring vessel. Developed initially as a submarine flyingboat, Marine Trench Co. soon saw the possibilities for extending their operations into space and the Moray SFB became the "Star Boat" after its ingenious adaptations were completed. Aquatic space-faring races are the main users of this multi-purpose vessel, whose hull is able to withstand the pressures of depths of up to 5500 fathoms It is a midsized, one man starship, with a size similar to that of a Cobra Mk I

== Notable Features ==

The ''Moray Starboat'' looks like an upside down pyramid, with one side having a longer slope than the other. Despite its innocent appearance however, it can pack a punch, if it has been turned into an [[Iron Ass]]

== Disadvantages ==

The ''Moray Starboat'' is an ageing design, only still popular due to its simplicity. For a ship of its class, the Moray's engines are relatively underpowered, making fleeing from combat very difficult and traversing solar systems slow

== Verdict ==

A nice vessel to try out for awhile and of a size able to defend itself. Pilots will begin to get bored with its limitations and size and move up to the infamous [[Cobra Mk 3]]

A.K.A. Commander [[Red Ravens]] (FEU Fiction) or Ben Peake (boring old real life), I've been a part of the [[EBBS]] scene since mid-2002, and have come to like the place, mainly because of (or despite) the company.

I'm a student/admin shitkicker by trade, residing in Melbourne, Australia. For preference, I play FFE, though I must admit to not getting past Deadly yet.

I do a fair bit of creative writing, some moderately ordinary poetry and a fair bit of larking about.

Newtonian modelling

2006-01-09T23:22:29Z

RavenRed: Some stuff on speeds...

Newtonian flight modelling is the style of space craft simulation used in [[Frontier|Frontier Elite 2]] and [[First Encounters|Frontier First Encounters]], and is distinct from the type of flight model used by [[classic Elite]] and [[Oolite]]. The goal is more realistic flight modelling - objects in the simulated space of Frontier and FFE should behave as they would in the real vacuum of space. A space craft or any other object set on a given course, will remain at that speed and direction unless deflected by something else (for example, a collision or activation of one of the ship's thrusters). Compared to classic Elite, the player will see high speeds relative to planetary bodies and is unlikely to encounter the 'speed limit'. The ship can also be rotated without changing the direction of flight. Players used to the classic Elite "aeroplane in space" flight model are likely to be confused by a Newtonian flight model when they encounter it for the first time.

The name, Newtonian flight model, comes from the name of Sir Isaac Newton's laws of motion and laws of gravity. The simulation is somewhat imperfect.

=== Relative speeds ===
There are three basic control methods in FE2/FFE, absolute manual (also known as "Engines Off"), set speed (also known as "Engines On")and [[Autopilot]]. Yuo can cycle through these three modes by pressing the '''Tab''' key. Absolute manual involves the manual firing of both the main (use the '''Enter''' key) and retro (right '''Shift''') keys in order to achieve your speed. This mode will be necessary in order to do delicate manoeuvring and dogfighting, but can be somewhat tedious for interplanetary travel. Set speed involves stipulating a speed (increasing with '''Enter''' and decreasing with '''Shift'''), which the computers will then attempt to maintain automatically. Lastly, and probably most importantly is the Autopilot. This should be one of your first purchases, as it can be somewhat difficult to dock with space stations or even get into orbit around planets without it. This essentially takes the judgement and piloting out of interstellar travel, and as travel can take many minutes (subjective) or days (objective), this saves you both a lot of time and effort.

The speeds in FE2/FFE are all expressed as kilommetres per second (to the power of minus one), but the can be a highly confusing figure. Much of this confusion stems from the fact that the speeds are always expressed ''relative to another body''. For instance, if you were travelling in the Sol [0,0] system, heading for the star at the centre, your relative speed would fluctuate during your journey, even if your absolute speed (measured against the star, which doesn't move for the purposes of space travel) remained the same because your speed calculation would change due to its being measured against different bodies within the system. At the bottom-left of your screen there should be the name of a planet, star or space station. This is what your ''relative'' speed is being measured against. If this name changes, your relative speed will be measured against the new named body. Your absolute speed ''will not change'', although if you are in engines on mode (above), your ship will attempt to match the relative speed you have set.

Imperial Explorer

2006-01-09T11:03:56Z

RavenRed:

{{Infobox ShipStats Frontier| title = Imperial Explorer
|image = [[Image:impexp.jpg]]
|ladenmass = 211t
|hullmass = 1996t
|capacity = 1785t
|mainaccel = 8g
|retroaccel = 5g
|gunmountings = 2
|missiles = 6
|crew = 10
|hyperrange = '''Class 8''':12.17
|standarddrive = '''Class 8'''
|fuelscoop = yes
}}

== Overview ==
One of the most terrifying experiences of any spacer's life is being awoken from the [[Stardreamer]] by the bright blue blast of a [[Large Plasma Accelerator|Plasma Accelerator]] from an Imperial Explorer bearing down on their ship like a small comet. These massive, majestic ships are rightly seen as the crowning glory of the Imperial Navy Research Department, and represent the ultimate in opulence, taste and engineering achievement. As such, they cost a packet, and are only seen sporadically. Whilst few have the wherewithal to outfit them properly, those spacers who do will find out how near you can be to be truly invincible in space combat.

== Notable Features ==
Size and durability are the hallmarks of the Explorer, originally designed for (as the name implies) long-range exploration of uncharted space. There is room in the cavernous hold of the Explorer for a Large Plasma Accelerator, huge numbers of [[Shield Generator|shield-banks]], [[HARS|hull repair systems]] and every doo-dad and whatsit known to accessory manufacturers. In the right hands, this is the ultimate combat ship, able to swat pirates with ease. As such, expect some rude comments / small-arms fire should you ever try to use this as a freighter.

== Disadvantages ==
Due to its size, the Explorer is somewhat slow, both through space and through hyperspace, and handles like a cow on Phekdan Happyweed. Even with top-of-the-line Class 8 engines, it's range is still a comparatively puny 12.17LY. Although 8G is significant speed for a craft this size, it's still not enough to dogfight effectively, and the lack of a turret leaves the owner vulnerable to a nippy opponent. Many a pilot has survived a fight with an Explorer by sticking doggedly on their opponent's six o'clock position and chipping away at the Explorer's massive tonnage, hoping that it's rear weaponry isn't accurate enough to destroy them. The large crew is also a significant drain on its owner's resources. The only other weakness is the pure overconfidence that ownership of this behemoth engenders, and no wonder.

== Verdict ==
An awesome battleship, the Imperial Explorer is almost boring in its dominance, toughness and imposing bulk. It is definitely the most expensive and probably the most powerful combat ship available to the general public, and ownership of this craft implies both great wealth and keen combat ability. As mentioned, these are almost never fitted out as traders, so attack at your peril.

== Fiction ==
Famous Imperial Explorer commanders include Viscount Daniel Preston.

Red Ravens

RavenRed: Adding some fiction links...

== Commander Red Ravens ==

Harvey Patrick Ravens was born on 15 December, 3378 in Lomasport (Coopersword, Aymiay [1,4]) to a loving callgirl mother and unknown father. His upbringing in the unusual environment of a brothel appears to have preconditioned his choice of career.

Despite showing significant academic potential, Red (his first name having changed for unknown reasons in early childhood) gravitated to Lomasport's teeming underworld, along the way forming a relationship with the similarly criminally minded Claire. Their joint criminal activities were successful in avoiding the attention of the authorities, but attracted attention of a different and far more dangerous sort.

The two came under the influence/tutelage of local godfather Johann Capsis and assumed key positions within his organisation, even though both were only in their late teens. Their grooming as Johann's lieutenants furnished both with
substantial intelligence and security skills. In Red's case, this included training in tax avoidance, numbers rackets and unarmed combat. An unspecified tragedy involving Red's friend Cuong caused Red to abandon his life of crime, borrowing heavily from Johann to purchase an Eagle Mk II and escape offworld to take up a career as a bounty hunter.

Not being a naturally gifted pilot, it was lucky that Red survived the crucial first few months of combat. This having been achieved, Red's risk assessment skills and strategic instincts came into play, ensuring a profitable few years, during which his Elite Rating rose gradually rather than meteorically. During this period, Red formed an off-again on-again relationship with an unknown freighter pilot. However, this relationship was only ever casual and did not survive the extended periods of separation inherent in spacer's lifestyles. It is also during this period that Red became (unwittingly) involved in a sucessful Imperial plot which has led to a black mark against his security record with the Federation. This experience deepened Red's cynicism with the universe and led to him becoming somewhat of a misanthrope.

Several years later, Red had the good fortune to run into Bec Chong in a bar on Conversion (Achenar [1,-4]). The pair immediately hit it off (platonically) and sold their own ships to jointly purchase a Constrictor (DE-013). Bec's superb
flying skills meshed very well with Red's tactical nous to form a potent combat duo, and their Elite Rating climbed accordingly. This was not, however, matched by financial security. Red's deference to Bec's risk-loving nature ensured that
repair bills were high and the monetary rewards were low. The moral vacuum in which the two also operated also suited Red's disengagement with wider events, even if he still provided an irregular Journal Column for the Coopersworld Tribune on interstellar politics. However, it was a comfortable groove of existence and this state of affairs might have continued for some time if not for the [[HPA Saga]].

Bec and Red's involvement in the vast conspiracy of the Huge Particle Accelerator led to a terminal deterioration in their relationship, along with a reorientation of Red's moral compass. Only when her leaving became inevitable did Red realise that he was somewhat in love with Bec. Unable to hold himself aloof from the tumultous events, Red was an active participant in the attempts to stop the plot, along with a very reluctant Bec and Alliance intelligence operative Catherine Beaumont. Their main opponent was the self-aggrandising Viscount Daniel Preston of Aymifa. Upon its failure, Red and Bec were taken prisoner by the Imperial Security Services. Whether through brainwashing or patriotism, Bec left Red's company and joined the Imperial Navy. Needing to get Red off planet to avoid the revenge of Viscount Preston, the Imperial Security Services recruited a young man, Pradesh, from the ranks of co-pilots seeking employment.

After some early basic training, Red went home for the first time in several years. He paid off the balance of his loan to Johann, introduced Pradesh to some of the realities of spacer life and came to somewhat of an accomodation with his old flame Claire. Despite the pull of familiarity, Red still decided that his future lay in space. (See [http://www.alioth.net/fiction Nothing Like the Prodigal] for further details)

After this, Red and Pradesh were blackmailed into retrieving an In Vitro Embryo for a passenger whilst doing a taxi job on the northern edge. This eventually involved infiltrating a pirate vessel, being taken in as a slave and blasted into interstellar space. However, due to the ingenuity and new-found experience of Pradesh, Red and the passenger managed to be saved, "child" intact.

-----

Physically, Red is about one hundred and fifty centimetres tall and approximately ninety three kilos. As can be imagined, this leads to a somewhat stocky frame This is normal for humans born on his planet of origin, which has a high-G environment. Despite his name, Red is dark haired and skinned. He is deceptively quick to move, but would still finish dead last in most footraces. He is mathematically gifted and also skilled at hand-to-hand combat. The latter somewhat compensates for his extreme dislike of handguns, and he makes little use of the former except in calculating gambling odds.

Red has a strong moral sense, which is constantly at war with both his cynicism and his desire to remain emotionally aloof. Whilst he can be annoyingly patronising, this is usually compensated for by self-deprecating humour and genuine attempts at empathy. Whilst Red lacks ambition of almost any sort, short-term goals focus his attention like a laser, and curiosity can often lead him further down the path of commitment than he would otherwise dream of going.
