**Felicia Navadores** is one of the pirates in the Pearl Zone, an area in space with the highest number of White Holes, and likely the most famouse one. She leads the Pirate Confederation of Madaska a lose alliance between several pirate groups using the Planet as a refuling station and logistical base. Felicia was original from the Pearl Zone but from the Planet of Neba and inherited the role of Pirate King from her grandfather Andre Navadores. She uses her personal fleet for extensive raids on imperial shipping lines and mercenary works and is already known for several daring acts despite her young age of 25.

## History

### Early Age

Felicia was born in 089.M42 on the Civilized/Agri-World of Neba to a family of the upper middle-class who had immigrated recently from an unknown Planet. Her family run a small buisness of interplanetary transport and short Warp travells. But her family hid a dark secret: since centuries were the Navadores pirates, a tradition uphold by her grandfather Andre Navadores who also was a smuggler. Thanks to a network of informants and loyal bureaucrates built up by him was Andre officialy a Merchant Captain and mercenary allowing him freely travel on Neba and the regular visit of his family.

Originally Felicia was supposed study at a Imperial Navy Academie and was already on her way with hundred of other cardets on a merchant ship. And by chance on the one targeted by her Grandfather. This day was a turning point in her live. For the first time in her live saw Felicia real combat, real death and real injuries. One strangers and on herself. One of the bullets fired found unfortunally its targed in her right calf leaving her lying on the floor, while she was forced to see how she was abandoned by her peers and the one tasked to protect them. Those so-called protectors were in the end able to beat back the pirates, but costing them most of their cargo and several cardets - among them Felicia. Angered by the loses and the defeat prepared the pirates to execute every single prisoner. Only the accidental intervention of her Grandfather saved her live.

### Pirate Career

Felicia begun her careers as a deck hand personaly overwatched by her grandfather. With time were her more complicated tasks entrusted, like the commanding of a gun battery or the tasks of a Petty Officer. In view of the talents of his grandchild decided Andre Navadores finally after four years to train her as his successor as pirate captain of the Grey Raiders. He was not disapointed with his decicion. Felicia learnt fast how to command a ship, organise the logistic of a fleet and the politics of the Pearl Zone. After six years was she allowed to spent her final years of her "journeymanship" as the captain of the Meritech Shrike Class Raider *Avenger* and took on a support role for the small fleet of her grandfather.

Her emancipation as a full pirate captain came with her 25th birthday when she and the crew of the Avenger single-handly attacked and captured a Passenger Ship capturing alongside several nobles. As tradition, were the crew of the *Avenger* allowed to plunder their prey as first and Felicia took the young noble Sophia van Lagon as her personal slave.

But with fate showed again its dramatic face on a smuggling mission on Neba when her grandfather was fatally injured binding him for his last weeks on his bed before passing away. With his death came instantly infighting and the entire Pirate Confederation erupted into "civil war". Heavy fighting took over two days to calm down until the captains of the different factions agreed on a tournament in which each leader fought for his right to claim the leadership of the Confederation. The following duels fought on the *Red Terror* ended with the victory of Felicia thanks to her Hellpistol giving her the deciding factor in several duels.

## Appearance

Many say that she inherited many physical attributes from her father. The brown light-red hair, a "soft"-formed chin, light green eyes and a thin body. Colour-wise is her skin a skin tone paller than originally, a result of the long trips on a star ship. Felicia wears her hair which reaches below her shoulders when in "duty" in a long braid which can be fixed in an eligant way on the left side of her head. With a hight of 5`7° is she also bigger than the most female pirates in the Confederation. Her right calf is marked by a bullet scar. Felicia`s trademark coat coloured in Duke blue and secondarly Byzantium violet.

## Personality

Felicia has still preserved a bit of her juvenile energy and follows ambitiouse goals. Her methods are often unusuall and includes often partly recless actions, like boarding actions through the weapon batteries. She is also a more caring captain to her crew than the standart and has no class conceit, which sometimes clashes with the upbringing of her slave Sophia. But those facets shouldn`t be a reason to misread her. Felicia learned from her grandfather how to calculate the dangers and benefits of each person and situation. Another trait of her is her incredible organisation and improvisation talent, allowing the Confederation to adapt to most situations effective and do their long-range raids.

## Wargear

* **modified Hellpistol:** A Hellpistol with improved with a heavy modified power batteries and a small combat knive mounted.
* **Laspistol-Melta Magna-Needle:** Bought from House Van Saar of Necromunda.
* **Chain Sabre**
* **Unique Flak Armour (modified):** As protection against enemy fire and environmental conditions ordered Felicia an unique personal armour for her protection - and definitive for showing her rank. The base for her armour is a Flak Armour wearn by the Imperial Guard. Unlike the one used by the Guardist is her one reinforced by Tau-made alloys for better protection and extra armour parts. Electronical combonents as well as a small live-support system were cannibalized from Catarpace Armours and improved by rogue Techpriests.

## Retuine

* **Tas`ki:** A Tau Earth Caste member and technician for her. He builds and maintaince the secret xeno-technology used by her and the Grey Raiders. Tas`ki is rarely seen outside of the Gray Raider flotillia. When or where he was picked up the Pirate Queen is unknown but most likely near his Sept in the Farsight Enclaves. Unlike most other Taus is Tas`ki against the Greater Good, which he sees as a plot of the Ethernals who use it to enslave the other Taus and now other Xenos.
* **Bassius Helos:** A formar Acolyte of the Inquisition and a mercenary Deamon hunter. He keeps the crews of Felicia ships free of the corruption of Chaos. Members of the Pirate Confederation rumor that Bassius was once a member of a noble family but fell from grace after an unknown event. Other rumors say that he is the secret fiancè of the Pirate Queen, but in truth are both mere friends. He also leads a platoon of 120 men with specialized training and improved equipment who deal with Deamons and rouge Psykers.
* **Sophia van Lagon:** A young noble women who is the personal slave of Felicia. She hailed from the van Lagon Dynasty of Rogue Traders but now is even lesser than the servants who once worked with her. Once a cheerful young girl confronted with her fate made her depressed. As a slave Sophia fullfils such duties like washing the cloths of her master, serving her food and accompaying Felicia while serving as a status symbol. Unlike the other slave of the Confederation can Sophia at least count on a better existence, even only because of the rank and ressources of her master.
* **Haluk Ces:** An assasine in the service of Felicia and the go to tool for disposal of obnoxiouse problems in an inconspicuouse way,
* **Henry "Fast-Hand" Flint:** Flint is a very talented smuggler and responsible for the selling of captured goods and organise the selling of forbidden Xenos-Technology.
* **Samusaki O`Brian:** A Techpriest and Heretek who was already in the service of her grandfather.

## Personal Fleet

### Flagship Stellar Rose

The Carrack class vessel Stellar Rose is Felicia`s personal ship and the most heavily modified ship in her personal fleet. And the most heretical one. It combines official human technology as Heretek technologies and Xeno technology alike. For example: the void shield generator includes several innovative modifications - what is detested by the Techpriests from Mars. Grenades for the Macrocannons include one type which can release an EMP destroying the enemy electronic in the hit area. The inside was also heavily redesigned, allowing the more effective use of the space inside.
