Captain Mal'baora 'Deadsky' is a somewhat notorious pirate in the Shattered Sector, performing mercenary services for Lord Daroth Gharax and his chaos crusade.

## History

### Childhood

Deadsky does not speak of her past much, if at all, but careful research of Administratum shipping databases will bring up a record of a ship closely matching the drive profile and equipment of her flagship, the *Ferrofex.* This record indicates the ship was operational in the Calixis sector some hundred years ago, under the command of one Lord Barbossa, of the now defunct Allesaunder dynasty. This ship, the *Ferrandus Primus* was presumed lost when it failed to return from the Koronus Passage for over a decade.

### Meeting with Lord Daroth and her time in Daroth's Crusade

In early 997.M41, Deadsky was approached by a representative of Lord Gharax's fleet, and deal was struck for her ship to visit the so-called Shattered Sector and identify targets of interest and worm her way into points of weakness.

Taking that to corrupted heart, she spent several months spreading her influence among the desperate and the corrupt, until she had a trade hub, a small flottila, and a veritible army of agents to gather information.

By the time Lord Gharax's fleet had arrived in the sector, she'd located their first target. The shrine world of Valroth Prime. Heavily defended on the ground, but weakly reinforced in the void, only having a few defense stations, she infiltrated mere weeks before a festival, posing as nobility, some far-off cousin of a local cardinal.

With her internal insight on the planet's defenses and points of importance, the chaos crusade smashed the planet's defenses asunder, with Deadsky herself leading the attack on the planetary defense shield generator, alongside of one of Lord Gharax's Exalted and the late Jarl Thorald.

With the successful conquering of the world, there were some minor disputes over distribution of pillaged resources, Deadsky being particularly adamant about recieving the primary atomantic generator that powered the planetary defense grid. Unfortunately, Lord Gharax had other plans, and Deadsky was forced to leave almost empty handed.

Returning to the trade station she had brought into compliance, Deadsky found it had been overtaken by worshippers of Nurgle. Enraged, she boarded and engaged in a duel with the first Death Guard that would answer the challenge, and narrowly won with copious amounts of drugs.

Realizing the extent of the nurglite corruption, she fled to her ship, only to find the entire contigent of trade vessels that had at any point visited the station under the complete sway of a Death Guard champion, who was distraught at the death of his brother. Pursuring Deadsky with this fifty strong fleet and a stealthed Nurgle cruiser, the Death Guard champion eventually caught up, and forced Deadsky to issue the order for an emergency jump, throwing the *Ferrofex* accross the sector.

### Exile

When the *Ferrofex* returned to realspace, it found itself in the midst of the T'au Empire. Not much is known of this time, beyond the months of journeying that this voyage took, Deadsky determined to seek her revenge against the Death Guard.

### Return to the Shattered Sector

In recent weeks, Deadsky has returned to the Shattered Sector and is blazing a bloody piratical path through small convoys and raiders, reconsolidating power in preperation for what's to come.
