SUMMARY
The Rascal’s Fortune is a MISC Starlancer MAX, registered to Captain Geraldine Blank. Its primary function is the transportation of cargo, with some indications of less-than-legal operations, though evidence remains circumstantial. The ship has been flagged in several systems for minor infractions but has thus far avoided any formal charges.

Captain Geraldine Blank
Geraldine Blank, daughter of Gene Blank and Milena Ruther, presents a sparse and fragmented record. She is listed as a former crew member on various freighters over the last decade, specializing in logistics. Her transition to captaincy occurred approximately three years ago, following the purchase of the Rascal’s Fortune through a Hurston intermediary. She is known for maintaining a low profile and operates primarily in frontier systems, rarely returning to core space unless necessary for trade.

First Officer: “Fentanil”
The enigmatic first officer, known only as “Fentanil,” is a former military operative with a documented history of weaponry expertise. Post-military career, he served as a salvage operator aboard an Aegis Reclaimer. His addition to the crew of the Rascal’s Fortune has coincided with the ship’s increased activity in salvage-heavy sectors, raising suspicions of opportunistic scrapping.

OPERATIONAL HISTORY
The Rascal’s Fortune has logged cargo runs across multiple systems, frequently seen in trade lanes such as Stanton to Pyro. Its manifest often lists standard commodities, but customs officials have raised concerns over discrepancies in declared and actual cargo weights. The ship’s rugged design, paired with its crew’s backgrounds, suggests potential adaptability for smuggling operations, though concrete proof remains elusive.

Recent sightings place the vessel near the asteroid belt surrounding Yela, which is commonly used as a staging ground for unregistered trade.

ADDITIONAL NOTES:

Serial code matches a legitimate MISC manufacture batch from 2948.
Ship hull shows evidence of patchwork repairs, indicative of damage sustained in potentially hazardous environments.
Attempts to locate Captain Blank or First Officer Fentanil for questioning have been unsuccessful.
Details about the other three crew members of The Rascal’s Fortune are currently unknown, leaving their contributions to the crew’s operations open to speculation.
