Typhun

**Typhun** was a member of the Colonist Survivors crew led by Captain Jack Roberts in the last hours of the Cold War and also the beginning of the Colony War against the DRF (Drone Reactionary Force). He notably served as the pilot of the CSS *Dawn* until it was shot down at the Battle of Watchtower Station just before the Colony War, and continued to help rebuild the Colonist flotilla until he disappeared shortly before Operation: Return was carried out.

## History

### The Cold War

At the First Battle of the Old Colony Base, Typhun and his starship, the CSS *Dawn*, a modified SS-1 Serenity-class Freighter, came to the aid of the Colonists after he picked up Jack Roberts' distress call. He flew the *Dawn* over the Colonists' old base, which the DRF leader Arron had turned drone production facility after the base's initial destruction and the Colonists' withdrawal into space, destroyed the base's defenses, and evacuated the crew into space to return to their space station, Watchtower Station. Upon receiving a threatening transmission from Arron about an impending attack, Typhun readied the *Dawn* for battle and a few crew members were stationed aboard the vessel to help man the cannons. The *Dawn* took serious damage in the first attack and had to remain docked to Watchtower after they emergency hyperspace-jumped away. In the end, Typhun flew the *Dawn* away form the station with Roberts and the remaining crewmen, Venom, Craz, and Finn, but the ship was heavily damaged while en route to the planet below, causing them to crash on the surface.

### The Colony War

Typhun and the rest of the team survived the crash and began rebuilding, along with newly-freed DRF prisoners that Typhun was initially suspicious of being spies, however that changed when he befriended them later. He was quite saddened over the destruction of his ship, and at first would not let the crew salvage any of the main superstructure, until they needed to expand the base. A piece of the *Dawn*'s wreckage was left as a memorial Typhun built, with a sign reading "Remember the *Dawn*, lest we forget." Typhun helped design the first aerial vehicle used by the Colonists in the Colony War, a small, light attack shuttle called the *Scarab*, as well as its sister ship, the *Beetle*. Typhun piloted the *Scarab* in the Second Battle of the Old Colony Base, but he was shot down by the DRF *Harambarry*, forcing him to fight on the ground. After the Colonists rediscovered the *Wyvern*, an RCSP Wvyern-class Gunship they built earlier and was thought to have been lost, in the remnants of the Old Colony Base, Typhun often piloted or copiloted the gunship, namely during the Battle of New Dawn Base a few weeks later, in which he was able to save the *Wyvern* from crash-landing. Ultimately, Typhun went missing from the Colony shortly before the Colonists launched Operation: Return to retake the territory of the Old Colony Base. It is unknown what happened to him.

## Behind-the-Scenes

Typhun first appeared in Episode 51 of 'Space Engineers: Colony Survival' and his last appearance was in Episode 23 of 'Space Engineers: Colony Wars,' the first and second series in the Colony Universe, respectively.

The actual reason for Typhun's disappearance from Colony Wars is most likely due to personal reasons and/or other real-life reasons that prevented him from being able to take part in the series any longer.

Typhun has appeared in Captain Jack's works before, including his portrayal of Dr. Isaac Ward from 'Space Engineers: Planet Wars' in the Redwood Universe; however, this has no canonical correlation to the Colony Universe whatsoever.
