Jack Porter

Human Male Dob: 076-1069 Age: 30 182cm 79.4 kg Brown/Green Identifing Marks: Imperial Marines tatoo, right shoulder "Death from Space" 8 years Imperial Marines.

Owner and Captain of IPS Orion, a Type-K Safari ship. Licensed bounty hunter employed by Glisten Prefessional Recoveries, Inc. since 253-1096. He has recently achieved his dream of owning his own ship. Slow to anger, quick to drink with friends, and more cautious than he first appears. His mercenary crew is trying to temp him away from bounty hunting and into merc work. He is torn between his love of fugitive hunting and his love of money.

Pack'Ar

Vargr Male Dob: 128-1085 Age: 24 165cm 63.5 kg Brown fur Identifing Marks: None Licensed Mercenary employed by Rifles, Inc. from 050-1097 to 124-1099.

First mate of the IPS Orion. Alternately loud and quiet, this heavy drinking, hot-wing munching, gregarious vargr can usually be found wandering a starport concourse in bright and outlandish clothes that disguise his penchant for violence. His record as a mercenary sniper is excellent.

Conrad Madson

Human Male Dob: 302-1071 Age: 28 167cm 72.6 kg Brown/Brown
Licensed mercenary employed by Rifles, Inc. from 164-1094 to 124-1099.

This otherwise unremarkable individual is the hot-shot pilot of the IPS Orion. Something of a loner he seems to finally have found a group of people that he fits in with. His callousness causes people to tend to leave him alone once they get to know him better.

Kenjiko Smith

Human Male Dob: 172-1067 Age: 32 165cm 72.4 kg Black hair/Black eyes Identifing Marks: Numerious body tattoos of mythical Solomani creatures 6 years Imperial Navy Medic/Marine service Licensed mercenary employed by Rifles, Inc. from 225-1098 to 1024-1099 Licensed EMT, recently certified Medical Doctor.

Ship's Doctor, IPS Orion. Calm, argumentative, and suprisingly adept at violence for a man with his medical abilities. Dr. Smith has been known to run headlong into enemy fire to save lives, or to take them. A loner, and known tea-totaler, he spends most of his time checking his medical gear and his accelerator pistol; "just in case."

Gene Seabolt

Human Male Dob: 151-1077 Age: 22 175cm 70.3 kg Black/Green Identifing Marks: Cranial Data-jack 6 years Imperial Scout Service.

A freelance journalist, and occasional author. Rising star of the Journal of the Traveller's Aid Society. His occasional articles either highlight some exciting bit of action, or are an expose of official misconduct. Because of this he is starting to receive some name recognition. Currently Head Steward, IPS Orion. While he has enjoyed working with them so far, he is starting to worry about the crew's increasing lawlessness.

A highly trained Jump-drive engineer, and the newest member of the crew. Seldom looks anything like the University pic (left). Usually wears her shipsuit and tool belt if you can even see her at all. Despite signing on as non-combatant crew, the gunsters of Orion, Inc. have been impressed of late with her cool-headedness in the middle of even the fiercest firefight.
