Ship[]
The Hellharp[]
The Hellharp was a Galatic Concave starship. She is a prototype "deep scout" frigate, first of the eponymous Normandy class, co-developed by the Concave and the Killian Hierarchy with the sponsorship of the Citadel Council. She is optimized for solo reconnaissance missions deep within unstable regions, using state-of-the-art stealth technology powered by an experimental drive core.
Commissioned in 2163, the Hellharp was initially commanded by an Concave officer named Elli Xander. After Xander came into conflict with Killian chief engineer Octavius Ceaser over the limits of the ship's drive core, Xander was removed and Donald stones had been placed in command. This was all great, until Turner and a band of brutes rushed in, killing all of the Concave operatives and then stealing the ship for themselves. After a month, they ransomed the Galatic Concave to give over 50,000,000 million pieces in Lux Coin In exchange for there prisoners. The Deal was made but when they took the money, they also tipped off information about how they found out about this ship, which had been through a Galatic Dynasty operarive working as a Member of the Galatic Concaves senate. Which means that the Hellharp crew ultimately fucked over both sides of the playing field.
The Hellharp has three main Decks.
- Command Deck
This contains the bridge in the bow, the airlock, the CIC containing the Milky Way Map and the comm room towards the stern. The comm room also serves as a conference room for debriefing after missions.
The Combat Information Center (CIC) of the Hellharp is unusual. Concave ships usually place commanding officers in the middle of the room, to facilitate communication with subordinates, but the CO's station in the Hellharp CIC is at the back. This is because the Hellharp has a Killian design and their commanders prefer to look over their subordinates rather than be in the midst of them; the engineers wanted to observe how well it functioned within the human command structure. When necessary, the Hellharp officers can utilize unique suit radios to communicate with the ship's operators. The cockpit area is equipped with an internal kinetic barrier, designed to protect the pilot from exposure to vacuum if air pressure is lost in the CIC. This method still works well with Turner and the Pirate crews endevaors.
- Quaters
The second deck, composed primarily of living quarters, may be reached by descending one of the two stairwells located on either side of the CIC. This is the location of Hellharp habitation deck containing the mess, crew sleeper pods, the captain's private cabin and office, escape pod hatches, and the medical rooms.
- Engineering and storage
An elevator located in the quarters can be used to descend to the engineering and storage sections of the Hellharp. The Lionheart Mobile ( A large superversatile battle space terrian tank ) is stored on this level. This is where the pirate crew keeps the majority of there loot and the such from there raids.
Technology[]
The Hellharp IES (internal emission sink) stealth system is her most notable feature. For centuries, it was assumed that starship stealth was impossible. The heat generated by routine shipboard operations is easily detectable against the near absolute zero background temperature of space. The Hellharp, however, is able to temporarily "store" this heat in lithium heat sinks deep within the hull.
The IES stealth system has a few limitations: The system doesn't work during FTL flight because this blue-shifts the Hellharp pemissions beyond the sinks' ability to store, and even while out of FTL, any visual scan (i.e. looking out of a window) will reveal her. However, this is rare since most ships rely on scanners rather than visual contact and spotting another ship in space is difficult. The Hellharp can go to 'silent running' for around 2-3 hours, or drift passively through a system for days before having to vent and give away her position. The stored heat must eventually be radiated, or it will build up to levels capable of cooking the crew alive.
The stealth system is powered by an experimental piece of equipment called the Tantalus Drive Core which is, proportionally, about twice the size of any other ship's core Many have mentioned that the oversized drive core affects the Hellharps balance, but it's nothing a good pilot can't handle. The Tantalus drive generates mass concentrations that the Hellharp "falls into", allowing her to move without the use of heat-emitting thrusters. The core not only makes the Hellharp quiet and fast, but means she can run at FTL speeds for much longer before having to discharge the drive.
Should the Hellharps design prove useful in field tests, it is expected that a follow-up class incorporating "lessons learned" will be produced.
Like all frigates, the Hellharp is equipped with GARDIAN point defense lasers, kinetic barriers, and a spinal mass accelerator cannon. It may also be equipped with advanced Javelin dual disruptor torpedoes. The Kinetic barries have the abilite to fire Anti-Matter disperse field explosions from its ship base core. Destryoing thousands of ships in one swoop.
Battle Ships[]
The Red Silver Mark II AKA RED-S is a remodeled Space Racer model, modifed with a heavy weaponry. Originally designed for high-speed racing, the craft was given armaments and converted into a space-ready fighter.
An old Space racer, this spaceplane has been modified and refitted extensively to give the craft superior performance and handling. Named the RED-S, this racer was used by turner during his early years as a bounty hunter. And its well suited for his dangerous line of work. Its incredible speed allows it to rapidly overtake most other aircraft/spacecraft and features numerous high-powered thrusters and a thrust reverser on the main engine that allow for quick stops and near-instant changes in flight. These thrusters grant the craft V/STOL capabilities, lifting into the air with very little need for launch space.
When landed, the two wings can be folded up and over the top of the craft to make the RED-S easy to store inside a hangar or ship bay. Like most one-man Space racer craft, the RED-S features a fully enclosed cockpit pod which can launch from the main body and has limited space flight capabilities.
Utilizing the Racers system (Machine Operation Navigation of Outer space), the RED-S can travel in an atmosphere or in space and is capable of both achieving orbit and atmospheric re-entry. The Racer system include various hardware including the airframe control mechanics, navigation system and auto-calculation software. The fusion engine uses a standard aero drive but has been modified with a booster nozzle, which acts as a short-range impulse drive.
For combat, the RED-S carries a quartet of internally-sealed machine guns for short- and medium-range firing and also fields a high-powered turreted plasma cannon attached to the ventral side of the fuselage for a long-range punch. The racer also has the option of using missiles on the two hard points mounted on the outside edge of each wing.
This was turners first shift, built for him by a young man by the name of Thunder Highwind. After obtaining the Hellharp however, he would have bought a multiple of these on the black market. About 98,600 ships in total that he keeps in a intedimensional space shooters at the bottom of the ship. Whenever his pirates need to do a space assualt they rush down into the ISS storer and place there hands on one of the ISS's hand pods so they are teleported into a RED-S and sent blasting out into space, ready and set for battle!
The Alpha System[]
The ALPHA system decreases the pilot's reaction times as there is no need for traditional visual interfaces. Furthermore, thanks to the advanced computations performed by the computer, the pilot can become aware of future outcomes and possible courses of action that can be taken to achieve total victory or total defeat. However, due to this direct brain interface, as the human brain cannot process the raw data, the system will cause the pilot to vividly "hallucinate" the possible paths that the pilot can take; as the pilot tries to figure out what is going on, the system can overload the brain with too many statistics and estimated values, causing temporary insanity.
The ALPHA System was developed to be an interactive interface between a human pilot and a Battle suit or Battle Flyer. The system computes the results of possible courses of action, and the pilot considers these and mentally feeds directions back to the system. What this means is that the pilot knows the result of his actions before he performs them.
The system is programmed to think tactically, so that the options that it feeds the pilot might include civilian death or unnecessary destruction. It is up to the pilot to guide the system and lend it a conscience, so the relationship becomes a balance of emotion and logic.
Another advantage of ALPHA System is its ability to offer physical stimulus back to the pilot, allowing him to feel the strain that the battle vehcile is undergoing. This causes great physical and emotional stress on the pilot, but allows the Battle Vechile to become an extension of the pilot's thoughts and movements.
Due to the extreme mental strain on its users, ALPHA System could never be used on a wide scale. It can literally tear a users mind apart if they are not strong willed. Also, as the ALPHA System uses tactical data from all factors, the pilot's own limitability is also taken into account in the results. If the pilot using the ALPHA System were simply incapable, in terms of skill, of defeating a superior opponent, the results shown would reflect so. All of the Battle Vechiles within The Hellharp pirate crew are installed into there systems thanks to Thunder Highwind.

However when there father left for his mission to the planet Gonar and never returned both boys were in a dispostion. While as Gale turned to a small life of crime and theivery, Thunder took his time into building and training. Gale admired his brother very dearly. Even with different mothers, Father always told Gale "Watch over your brother. He's the only one you've got, and I want you to go where he goes. Look out for one another, and keep him check. Do that for me." Gale took these words to heart, and as such, even with his attitude, and his releuctance to even join WARRIOR he signed up just as Thunder did. Gale learned quickly to balance his theivery and his heroisim, from experience. Since he was 4 he had a nack for stealing shit, and iit only grew and grew, until eventually he learned to map areas out instantly, and pickpocket with ease making it appear as an accident. he applies this everywhere, he can't help it. He cares not for violence, but he won'tput any liife above his own. Or his brothers for that matter. He's in WARRIOR as long as Thun is, or at least til he finds his own reasoning to be here.

Any bit of loot the ship gets, he's the reason they get it but NOT before taking care of himself first. Young and Ecentric, are the words to describe this young and talanted young man. There is also however his kleptomanic side to hime, where he steals and any everything he finds valuble or gets his hands on. Contrary to it all, he's actually a very nice person, but has no problem what so every lying to the public to get what he wants. He's very sneaky, overcoming obsticles through sheer tenacity, and keniving tatics, and even false retreat if need be. He's a good hearted guy, with the mind of a deiviant, but all in all is only taking life one step at a time. He does have a love for going "against the odds", even if he knows it's completely usless. He didn't like earth or the eternal shade that much but he did breifly fight Connor Ryoji and stole some of his moves.
