## Summary

### Lone Wolf Squadron

#### Marshal the Stars

Nort is under-captain/first officer to Skaine Captain Iglon. He has fallen from being a mercenary to being a slaver, something he doesn't like but has to accept.

He is commander of the Skaine heavy cruiser Tortu.￼ The cruiser is heavily damaged in the first incident with the Tardex Marshalls. Iglon takes away his rank.

#### Battleflight

The Marshalls have mounted a dreadnaught class laser on their carrier. They surprise Nort and severely damage the *Tortu* with one shot. Two full sections are open to space and they lose local control of half the forward weapons systems. All the crews are dead on that side. They are down to one-third maneuvering speed. There was also a power surge through the main drive.

#### Attack Wing

Iglon is taken away and Nort is promoted to Over-Captain which includes the operation of the factory ship *Yarda*. He is not pleased as he realizes it is beyond his skill set. He is given 3 weeks to get production up to expectations. Unfortunately, another or Zarek efforts against the Marshals fails and the schedule is moved up so Zarek can pay off the Kratch.

As a backup plan, Nort begins to provide information to the Marshals through Jex. The Skaines on the *Yarda* find out about his betrayal and mutiny. He is saved by his Leath weapons officer Delku. They fight their way to the *Tortu* where the Noel-ni navigator Slick almost shoots them. Nort and the crew escape with the *Tortu*, Nort vowing never to work for a Skaine again.

#### Interstellar Justice

Jex contacts Nort to bring the *Tortu* into the battle against the Kratch.

#### Frontier Law

The Skaines have put out a bounty on Nort, dead or alive. He has moved the Tortu further into the frontier and is willing to work with the Marshals.

Norte agrees to use the Tortu to protect colonist leaving from the Cloitas Station. The Skaine running the operation decides to betray Nort to the Skaine Consortium and hopefully also damage the Tardex Marshalls by having the Beorlok raiders destroy the Tortu and capture Nort, The Tortu is severely damaged. Secondary and tertiary explosions bloomed down the front third of the Tortu. The entire energy battery, including all the weapons mounts, had broken free and created a new debris field that included a cloud of broken hull fragments from the massive explosion. Nort agrees to surrender because the leader of the Beorlok guarantees the surviving crew will be allowed to escape to habitable planet where the can await recovery.

The Beorlok take Nort, contacting the Skaines for pickup. Jex discovers the deliver point. Beau Ward and Marshalls short stop the delivery of Nort and use the Pod-Doc to bring him back to health. In exchange for repairing the Tortu, the Tortu, Nort and his crew must join the Marshall service.
