Courage is just apathy with delusions of grandeur.



History

True history is taught through players. As such we will start with those.

Captain Oblivious makes up in physical stature with volume and intensity. Not much is known about his personal history. He Was an officer with the UEE where he studied game theory and was allowed to leave once the UEE was confident his machinations had all come to pass. Rumor has it that he has been flying around the ‘verse making contacts and trying to find something he had lost.

Miklos Atreides come from a planet near the edge of UEE territory. Born to trade barons, that basically rule the planet. He has a natural talent for asymmetric tactics and a keen eye on the future. When branching out away from his family, he was hired by Dire Trucking INC to be their COO (Chief Operations Officer). Through his hand he managed to bring better talent but also massively increased it’s efficiency. While there Miklos met a couple operatives and helped found Black Hole Trebuchet.

Solomonkey is the best fixer you could ask for. Statistics need adjusting? Quantum drive on the fritz? Need goods from point A to point B? He is your man. While normally yelling at parts to work the way he thinks they are supposed to, you can normally find him smoking a cigar while gathering resources for his next experimental build.

Adam Steele goes the beat of his own drum. He was shot in the leg apprehending a criminal that his captain told him to ‘forget about’. The precinct didn’t want bad PR and Adam couldn’t work with that level of corruption. He is a hot dog of a pilot hunting down people he thinks are trash for equal parts justice and for kicks.

Cobalt Cat was a double major when he went to college; psychology and computer programming. He after graduating he was hired immediately by a military contractor to work on AI. It was there that he found out that he had a knack for piloting, albeit usually robots or drones, but skills that he later transferred to fighters and frigates. He was originally a contact of the captain but has proven him self over and over that he has become a strong ally and was brought into BHT and helped round out the skill sets.

Hawk worked with Cobalt in the Advanced Robotics Center and was the engineer in charge of design and development of new parts. Constantly in search for better materials to build more efficient housing for what her referred to as his ‘toys’. He was happy with his job until management kept pushing to use exact products, materials or dates for completion. That is when Hawk brought him into the fold. It wasn’t a hard sell to leave with the hands off style that is BHT.

Accelo was a fighter pilot for the UEE. He was a in a wing when the command came through to open fire to a civilian transport because there was a pirate aboard. The rest of the wing followed orders, as he watched in horror of all the innocent deaths. Some Mantis rounds must have breached the hull, cargo was thrown out everywhere. A single child’s stuffed cat smacked his cockpit. Because he refused he was dishonorably discharged. Since then he has been a boogeyman of sorts, jumping in to horrible black ops, leaving debris and his calling card a stuffed cat. No one is quite certain where he gets top secret information.

Manifesto

I leave this as a declaration of intent, so no one will be confused. “Si vis pacem, para bellum.” Latin. Boot Camp Sergeant made us recite it like a prayer. “Si vis pacem, para bellum – If you want peace, prepare for war.” In certain extreme situations, the law is inadequate. In order to shame its inadequacy, it is necessary to act outside the law. To pursue… natural justice. This is not vengeance. Revenge is not a valid motive, it’s an emotional response. No, not vengeance. Punishment.

Charter

We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are,
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
