Rafe Hanford

Rafe Hanford was a Manticoran citizen, miner, and entrepreneur.
After spending half his life on large mining ships, he convinced a group of investors to finance his acquiring of a small mining vessel of his own, which he named Rafe's Scavenger. A specialist in working off the beaten path, he used the ship to search the emptier sectors of the Unicorn asteroid belt for ore concentrations that were too small to attract larger enterprises, but still large enough for his one-ship operation to turn in a profit.
In 1532 PD, the Rafe's Scavenger was wrecked by a failure of its fusion plant, and Hanford and his crew had to be rescued by the Royal Manticoran Navy battlecruisr HMS Vanguard. ()
