Salvage Crew (Now with PIRATES!!!)

[Argonor]

I think I can scrape together a salvage crew or 2 using proxies. Star Wars Huge Crab Droid as Demobot, terminator robots as warbots, warzone Blood Berets (1st ed.) as heavy armoured infantry... some Future Wars models for bosses and dedicated salvage personel...

Were would one get the old warzone figs anyways?

[Argonor]

I don't think they have the original  Blood Berets (the ones i proper armour, as shown in the Mutant Chronicles RPG material). There was a later version, with much less armour (more like a trencher or regular, just with beret).

EDIT: I as wrong.... just saw them there... might be tempted to get some more

The latest addition to the Betty's crew (when it works), an old S-6 droid. The S series where designed for heavy labour and well suited for salvage operations, however this particular range was made obsolete long ago (they are up to S-38 now), however Kaylee likes old machines and after finding it on the scrap pile she spent a while getting him functioning again.

Flippin' nice!

Nice, that's probably what I'll do with my Salute mini.

The Ram, the crew's heavily armored and rather cramp rough terrain transport. Its battered hull is a testament to the action's it has seen. The armor is able to withstand small arm's and laser fire, and has also withstood grenade blast's. However heavy weapon's would have no problem with the Ram's hull.

The Ram get's it's name from the large dozer blade at the front which once rammed a pirate attack buggy and pushed it for over a mile into a hostile strong point. Dolph loves the Ram so much he get's upset when ever there is a scratch.

[Argonor]

Is that thing scratch or a Ramshackle thing, or so?

[TheMightyFlip]

Its made from Ramshackle bits, £9 for a big box of rsin, got enough to make at least two, maybe three buggys, as well as a few characters and a big orky bike.

[Argonor]

Cool, thanks... am browsing the Ramshackle shop, just now

Well after quite a delay (damn you Reaper!!) I finally got some movement on the project.



The Baron, once the head of one of the most wealthy and powerful merchant houses in the Degarian Imperium, House Malltraeth. Under his leadership the house grew wealthy off several illegal means, namely slave trading, drug smuggling and piracy, via The Three Suns fleet. However his fortunes came crashing down when the Empress deployed the Imperial fleet to crush his house and take him into custody. His house burned, his trade fleet smashed, he and his daughter fled to the only safe harbour, that of the pirate fleets.

He quickly took control of the Three Suns and began a campaign of terror on Imperial, Federation and Alliance shipping.

His personal cruiser The Vengeful Master is well armed and modified, and ahs been known to be able to stand up to many of the main line battleships in operation. However he spends the majority of his time when not hunting on board the captured luxury liner Galatic Princess, where he holds court and is rumored to house his harem.
 
After the Imperial civil war, the Baron discovered quite the reelation, that the captain of the Betty Sue was none other than Her Royal Intergalatic Highness Crown Princess Sonja Quamar of the Degarian Imperium. In other words the daughter of the Empress who ruined him, he now has a clear goal in his mind, that of capturing the Princess and adding her to his harem.

The Barons's daughter, Isabella, followed her father into exile and became his most trusted advisor, she serves as second in command in all 3 Suns business. Like her father she hates the Imperium for what it did, namely rip her from a life of pampered high society and dropped her amongst the dregs of the galaxy. However, she now enjoys extreme luxury aboard the Galactic Princess and is heavily feared for her ruthless behavior with crew and slave alike.

It was Isabella who discovered the truth about Sonia, the pair having been childhood friends before the exile, she spotted her while scouting out a planned raid on Prospero Station. Though she is commited to her fathers cause, it remains to be seen if she will allow her old friend to be reduced to nothing more than the barons pleasure toy.

Not a lot is known about Mad Jack, it is known he served in the military at one point (which one is open to debate), its also known he's wanted for arson, murder, theft, kidnapping, and grand destruction, namely the crashing of a Federation starship (USS Blade) into Purgatory Penal Station, resulting in the ship being destroyed and 20,000 plus inmates escaping.

He is an expert shot with any type of side arm, though he prefers his disruptor and slug pistol's. Jack is also a heavy gambler, taking and making bets on anything, from high stakes poker to betting his life in insane stunts. (one example was during the raid on New London colony, he bet a fellow pirate he could take the colony defences offline naked, which he then did, and to this day no one knows how). Its believed he joined up with the 3 Suns due to a bet, but like his past, hes quite tight lipped about it.
