Captain Pike

==Profile==
Captain Pike is an NPC introduced in the 4.5 Patch. He is a former captain of the Sovereign Navy who, disillusioned by the bloodshed of innocents and the expansionist nature of his homeland, founded Port City, an independent colony far from the Sovereign Navy's reach. His supporters also reside there.
==Biography==
Much of Captain Pike's early history is unknown, though he quickly rose through the ranks in the Sovereign Navy.
In the mission "Floatsam", Floyd mentions that Pike was headed to the Outpost when a Sovereign scout force attacked, destroying his Gunboat. The player controls Pike’s gunboat in the mission "Smoke on the Water", battling four enemy Sovereign gunboats.
In the mission "Pike's Place", the player meets Karin Winters, who explains the threat posed by the Reef Bandits, one of the main reasons for her and Pike's defection from the Sovereign Navy.
After allying with the Outpost and the 95th Rifle Company, Pike proposes opening trade between his colony and the player’s Outpost. However, a safe Trade Route is necessary, and Pike asks the player to eliminate hostile forces in the mission "I Got What You Need".
After the defeat of the Dreadnought, Pike warns that the Sovereign Navy will return for revenge, knowing so from his time in their ranks.
Later missions reveal that Pike originally came to the area under orders to uncover "something big" hidden by the Reef Bandits. However, after meeting them, he defected from the Sovereign Navy. In the mission "Coordination: Part 2", Pike and his group battle the Shadow Force Navy. Karin Winters urges Pike to reveal the full story to the Imperials, a responsibility he acknowledges he will eventually have to face. Karin also advises Perkins to "stay safe" during this mission.
==Trivia==
*Captain Christopher Pike is a character from the movies, though any connection is unclear.
*In the mission "In with the Tide", Captain Pike mentions that he wrote the ship helmsmen instruction manuals.
