Harcourt Fenton Mudd (Harry)

Harry (Harcourt Fenton Mudd) the Pirate

Harry slogged his way up from the bottom of the free trader merchants as a direct enlistee. When he retired from the Merchants' Guild he came away with a forty year old Fast Trader (type A3Mk2), a few bucks, and several enemies within the Merchants' Guild who tried to keep him from drawing a retirement check after all the faithful years as a member. Contracts started drying up and for various reasons Harry became sick of scrabbling around for a pitiful living. He became a pirate and is just starting to rake in some nice revenue. Some of the other pirates are starting to be irritated with his successes. The Imperial Navy is also thinking of sending a few Patrol Cruisers to patrol some of the jump points into and out of several systems in the subsector. So far no one has been able to catch Harry in his various schemes.

Arghox enjoys the loot that Harry brings in, is glad to have a supply of anagathics, and is therefore a willing participant with (& often masterminds) Harry Mudd's schemes. She has a wicked sense of humor, but prefers to let Harry be the front man while she manipulates from the shadows.

Georgina Harrison

Character: Georgina Harrison

          Georgina has recovered her memory and understands that she is free from the "School", but there is one more personal mission to perform. Unfortunately, she has needed much cash for all the toys that she is accumulating, and the last "upgrade" (chip implant computer) she had financed by Captian Mudd had a nasty little "slave" nano-virus the antidote to which remains in the possession of the Captain she must serve. She despises Captain Mudd, and is angry at herself for getting caught. She has no choice but to serve the perverse desires of her Pirate Captain. If given a chance to get free, she will be ever so helpful, then the death will come.

MS "Oregon Trail" Colonial Transport, 200dt, TL11+

200dt Colonial Transport, TL11

This vessel was purchased surplus (50%) by Clive Masterson Sr. His first transport contract (while the bank negotiations were still not complete, ie "under the table") was a group of colonists from Earth to the Reavers' Deep. The low berths were sold to this wealthy group of colonists to augment the new colony's medical equipment. Clive used this money for some "upgrades". As the years have gone by, other mods have been made. Here is the accumulated value of this 60 year old (but mint) starship. Clive's grandson, Clive III, will some day be inheriting the vessel and he is thinking of converting the new main cargo deck into a passenger area and restaurant when "he's in charge".

MS "Peace Maker" Transport, a converted 300dt sys. def. boat

Converted Mk3 ANTIQUE SYSTEMS DEFENSE BOAT

After Fourth frontier war, this Mk.3 system defense boat (along with many more obsolete vessels) were scrapped due to pressure from reduced peace-time  navel budgets.
Most Mk3 System Defense boats had the Particle beam weapon and hull stealth mods removed before sale to salvage.

Lascalles Merchant Co., LLC. purchased five Mk2s and one Mk3 to convert to system transports. The Mk3 was later resold to a business partner as part of a retirement buy-out package.

This vessel has had the main power plant upgraded, a area effect jump drive has been added and some interior remodeling done for fuel tankage etc.
