The Bastille

One of the lesser known ships in the Lylat system is the Bastille. This ship has a history of being a smuggling vessel since it's construction in 2983. It was designed and built by it's first captain, a Jogauni named Christopher Reyener.
Christopher, like his father, ran weapons and other illicit goods all over the lylat system. Despite his "not-so-legal" dealings, Chris had a good conscious about him, and frequently kept in contact with his cousin, Morohtar Reyener. One such meeting lead to the discovery of the nanobots that threatened the lylat system in 2993.
Chris had recieved a crate of Venomian weapons and immidiatly noticed something strange about them. After closer examination, he found that they were infused with nanobots. Instead of completing the job, he brought the crate to Cornaria, and got in contact with Morohtar, who was second in command of Starfox at the time. By that time it was too late, and most of the Lylat system was either infected, or was going to be. Fearing they were exposed, Venomian fighters attacked the Bastille, forcing a crash landing on Katina, where Chris and Morohtar met up with a few Cornerian pilots including Katina Lombardi, Jerionis Bridgeport, Tai-nin, and Niven Ge. Chris, piloting the Bastille, traveled with the small group to Titania, and began to mount a resistance effort. Titania became the home port for the Bastille for the next 3 months, two of which, Christopher had gotten lost in the desert looking for an old friend.
The Bastille also participated in the battle against Andross that ended the nanobot conflict. During the battle, the Bastille was shot down over the planet of MacBeth. Chris survived, but with the loss of his left arm and eye. However the Bastille was unable to be recovered as the damage was too great.
Nearly 20 years later, the Bastille was recovered from MacBeth and rebuilt by a young fox named Aradian Klaiman. Aradian restored the ship as best he could, adding his own modifications where he saw fit and returned the ship to it's former glory as a smuggling vessel. The Bastille was docked at Tytuvian Station for some time before vanishing. Klaiman was found on a small station haveing lost everything, including the ship. It seems to have changed hands several times since, and it's current whereabouts are unknown.
