Jack's Team

**Jack's Team**, or **Jack's Crew**, was the crew of Captain Jack Roberts of Red Wood Industries. The crew primarily served on the RWI *Eclipse*, a prototype science corvette in RWI's Fleet, throughout the Green Drone War. The crew took on many missions throughout the war, and went their separate ways after the Battle of the Black Hole and the war's end.

## Membership

### Command Staff

Captain Jack Roberts was the captain of the RWI *Eclipse* and the leader of the group. Prior to the events of the Green Drone War, Jack was the leader of the Colonist Survivors in a fight against a faction of militaristic drones called the Drone Reactionary Force. Upon the end of the Colony War, he and the few survivors from the colony teamed up with other survivors of a GDA (Green Drone Armada) trap and escaped to join RWI, and he led the new team throughout the rest of the war.

The second-in-command position of the team was held by at least three different people over the course of the war. The rank of this position was commander. Before Jack's good friend, Craz, was rescued by the team from the GDA shortly before their rejoining of RWI, the second-in-command status was held by Finn, a skilled engineer and builder of several vehicles used by the team. Once Craz was rescued, he typically held the second-in-command post, but being from CNL (Crazy North Logistics), he was technically outranked by Commander Sam Reed of RWI, who joined the group shortly before the Battle of Ravcor. The two held joint ownership of the position; whenever one was absent from a mission, the other got the whole status.

### Members

Soon after the crash of the CSS *Vengeance*, the Colonists' flagship, at the hands of the GDA near the start of the war, Jack and the *Vengeance's* surviving crew gathered outside the ship. These people included Finn, Castle, Horza, and Bashful. Castle served with the team throughout the entire war, but Horza disappeared after the Rescue of Craz and Bash was reassigned after the Battle of Icarus.

These survivors also soon met up with three RWI marines near a crashed Phoenix-class Assault Frigate - Owen, Morslupus, and Ler. They and their squad of marines had been sent down in a Valkyrie-class Dropship from the RWI *Malta*, a Defender-class Frigate that was destroyed by a GDA Destroyer during the ensuing battle. Most of the team was killed by Green Drones, leaving only Owen, Mors, and Ler as the only survivors, and they agreed to accompany Jack and the Colonists.

Finally, the Colonists and RWI marines found the last two members of the new crew - two DRF soldiers, Papple and Finchy. Finchy had been part of Jack's colony long ago before he was captured by the drones and brainwashed. Both of their drone reprogramming had been mostly deactivated with the fall of the DRF, and they also agreed to join the team. Papple was thought to be killed during the Battle of Ravcor, but was found some time later by the *Eclipse* crew during their mission to an abandoned DRF base.

## After the War

After the war, Jack Roberts was promoted to Admiral and Sam Reed was promoted to Captain and assigned as Jack's XO. The two oversaw the construction of the Odyssey-class, RWI's next-generation soon-to-be flagship.

Craz returned to CNL and commanded a small fleet for a short while, before returning to RWI.

Finn and Castle started their own salvage organization, Dawnstar Salvage Corporation, although Castle was convinced by Jack to rejoin RWI at some point, leaving Finn to run the company.

Bashful was promoted to Lieutenant Commander after being reassigned off the crew to be an ambassador to the United Colonies of Agaris, who told RWI that they had information regarding a black-ops command ship, the RWI *Pegasus*, since it had gone missing during the start of the Green Drone War. Bash later reunited with Jack and several others when they were dispatched to assist with the search a few months later.

Owen, Ler, and Papple all began working for the RWI Engineering Division, but Owen soon rejoined Jack's crew for the search for the *Pegasus*, and later reunited with him again after being stationed aboard the RWI *Olympus* during the Joint Expedition Task Force mission.

Finchy and Morslupus were killed at the Battle of the Black Hole when the *Eclipse* was destroyed by the GDA Super-Dreadnought, as Jack had left them to command the ship while he and the rest of the team infiltrated the Super-Dreadnought.

Horza's fate remains unknown, as he disappeared after the Rescue of Craz early into the war.
