The *Illuniasus* was part of the Ruhar 7th Fleet under Admiral Kune's command and tasked with supporting the Alien Legion above Stiglord (Squidworld).
She was one of the first three battlecruisers, along with the *Amadur* and the *Kostigan*, to feel the wrath of the enemy’s retaliation. She was struck by up to five satellites, and each ship shuddered from the impacts, energy shields flaring and failing, armor plating charred and burned away. The response of the *Illuniasus* was to perform an emergency jump away to safety.

Chihuahua

El **chiuahua**o**chihuahueño** es una raza de perro pequeña muy popular por su reducido tamaño. Además de ser una mascota adorable se trata de un compañero inteligente, inquieto y curioso que ofrecerá todo su amor a quienes cuiden de él.

## Apariencia

Como ya hemos comentado se trata de un **perro pequeño**, compacto y de movimientos rápidos. Sus medidas hasta la cruz varían entre los 15 y 25 centímetros aunque algunos pueden alcanzar los 30. Además, suelen pesar entre 1,5 y 4 kg. Estas medidas pueden variar al encontrarnos con los dos tipos de perro chihuahua que se diferencian básicamente por el tamaño y en algunos aspectos físicos:

* **El chihuahua cabeza de manzana**: Es el más común, su cabeza tiene como su nombre indica, una forma parecida a la de una manzana que le da un aspecto dulce y cuidadoso. Tiene dos orejas grandes y separadas, casi siempre en posición recta. En contraste con una cabeza grande y los ojos saltones, su cuerpo es pequeño y fino. Al final de su cuerpo nos encontramos con una pequeña cola que gira sobre el dorso.
* **El chihuahua cabeza de venado**: Es algo más grande que el chihuahua anterior. La forma de la cabeza es más alargada y en algunos casos recuerda a la de un ciervo pequeño. Son algo más altos y estilizados aunque igualmente muestran una apariencia delicada y dulce que nos enamorará.

## Carácter

El chihuahua **no tiene personalidad definida** propia de la raza y es que dependiendo de su educación podemos hablar de un perro cariñoso y tierno o de una raza algo maliciosa y astuta. Es un perro muy inteligente y observador al que le gusta salirse con la suya. Es un perro muy valiente y devoto a pesar de su reducido tamaño. Es muy entregado a la familia y se muestra siempre alerta e inquito, vigilante ante cualquier intruso.

A veces pueden mostrar actitudes celosas ante las relaciones de quienes considera sus dueños aunque suele ser un problema fácil de tratar. El chihuahua parece no ser consciente de su reducido tamaño y puede enfrentarse a personas o perros de talla grande solo para defender a quienes quiere.

One of the two light cruisers sent to the Gateway wormhole near Earth. On their way to Earth, the Flying Dutchman intercepted them as soon as they jumped in near the Dutchman and the Pirates demanded their surrender. The Dutchman flew full steam toward them. Recognizing the Dutchman as the mystery ship that had manipulated and broken an Elder Wormhole, the AIs in control of each ship decided to jump away, at least they tried to.
Skippy the Magnificent created fifty-four microwormholes (twenty-seven for each ship), overlapping them and interfering with each ship's jump drive wormholes. Skippy expanded the microwormhole closest to each starship, overlapping their wildly resonating event horizons with those of the Maxolhx ships in an event that lasted less than three picoseconds. In the space occupied by her (the *Rathnux*) sister ship, singularities merged and clashed, energies that were never supposed to enter local spacetime burst forth into a universe that had physical laws incompatible with their place of origin, and her sister ship ceased to exist... ***Violently***.
The *Rathnux*, having timed her jump slightly behind her sister ship, survived because her jump wormhole had not formed enough to overlap Skippy’s microwormhole sabotage by the time disaster struck the second ship in the form of the spacetime ripple. Its jump wormhole collapsed, reactors were knocked offline, the ship suffered severe damage and all weapons and defensive systems were inoperable. She was thrown across space. Actually, the underlying space expanded along with her, and she was catapulted across the roiling vacuum. Right towards the Dutchman.
The Dutchman's reactor shut down due to the ripple effect. The Dutchman was also swept up in the spacetime expansion, riding the ripple with the Maxolhx ship like two pieces of debris caught in a tsunami. The Dutchman stopped, but the *Rathnux* was still headed straight for them at seventy-eight thousand kilometers per hour and the Dutchman couldn't get out of the way. Skippy attempted a non-jump which was more like create a long dent in spacetime as the Dutchman got dragged sideways, scraping across the underlying and invisible quantum fabric of the universe and the Dutchman escaped the collision by six thousand kilometers.
The Dutchman fired two shipkiller missiles at the *Rathnux*, but the ship's AI was able to intercept them. The Maxolhx discovered that Humans were in control of the Dutchman because of leakage from the communications relay. Skippy jammed their external communications, so they couldn't get word out to the universe. Skippy used the masers to resonate the frame of the *Rathnux* which vibrated it apart and the ship exploded.

She first came in contact with the Mavericks when she was assigned to talk with the Kristang delegation on Fresno. The Kristang delegation offered passive-aggressive insults under the guise of not understanding human culture. She traded insults with the Honored Kraplatt, head of the Kristang delegation, who she thought of privately as "Honored Craphead".
She, Jesse Colter, who had a broken leg, and a badly injured Ruhar female, Urmat Ardlunn Fobish, were the sole survivors of their Buzzard when it was attacked and crashed on Fresno.
She managed to kill a grikka using grenades and tripwires, saving Colter and Fobish.

Newark Is a planet located in Kristang/Thuranin space. Newark's star system is mostly unremarkable, the only astronomical bodies that are of interest are Newark itself and a gas giant that goes by the unofficial name "Skippy the Magnificent's Garage and Gas Station / Pizzeria"

Newark is barely habitable this is because of its elliptical orbit that periodically sends Newark into an ice age, 10% of the surface thaws during summer around the equator and is the only habitable land that does not require extremely specialized survival equipment. Also, Newark has a thin oxygen-nitrogen atmosphere equivalent to 10,000 feet elevation on Earth (which may be due to oxygen being trapped in the ice) as well as 14% higher gravity than Earth.

Millions of years ago Newark had a circular orbit in the Goldilocks zone of its star. This meant that the planet's temperature was stable and much warmer than it is today, This allowed complex life forms to evolve and grow and eventually lead to an intelligent bronze age civilization to arise.
2.7 million years ago, Newark's orbit was altered by Elder level technology. It was pushed into its current elliptical orbit which lead to almost all surface life going extinct.

**SPOILER ALERT!**
*The section(s) below SCHMAYBE includes **Spoilers**.*
At the same time, an Elder spaceship crashed onto the surface of Newark. it is unclear whether the ship was the cause of the event or was itself a victim. In book 6 it is found out that the AI on the ship did kill off Newark. Skippy says that Newark will become habitable in 22 million years.
Newark was also not the first planet that had an intelligent species purged. Four of the AIs (including Skippy) agreed that the continuing Genocide was not called for. This is the event that caused the 7 awoken AIs to disagree and clash resulting in the virus being activated in the 4 "rogue" AIs. This led to three AIs' deaths attempting to help beat his worm as he was physically closest to Newark, this started a second war between opposing beliefs which affected all AIs (and presumably is the time when Skippy crashed into Paradise).

Galactic Shield

**SPOILER ALERT!**

*The section(s) below SCHMAYBE includes **Spoilers**.*

The Galactic Shield is a protective barrier surrounding the Milky Way, created by the Elders, as a defence against an unspecified but significant external threat.

The Shield consists of millions of effect generators, pulling power from Higher Spacetime similar to the way wormholes operate. The effect generators utilize the same base technology as wormhole event horizons, but instead of using the power to create an Einstein-Rosen bridge, the power is channelled into the shield. The power for the shield is generated through power sinks in the photospheres of stars in specially protected systems spread throughout the galaxy, such as the Roach Motel. The Elders repurposed the wormhole network, originally designed as a transport network, to have a primary role of routing power across the Milky Way and into the shield.

It was a major, major effort by the Elders. Spanning hundreds of thousands of Light Years, the shield must have taken thousands of years to construct. The Elders created wormholes to the satellite galaxies, not for colonies, but to use the raw materials in the dwarf galaxies and star clusters, to manufacture effect generators. The Elders stripped raw materials from those satellite star formations to build the shield. This effort must have consumed their society for thousands of years.

The Elders believed that the intergalactic danger would still be a threat to them even after they ascended, and therefore they designed the shield to operate indefinitely in their absence. They used very long-lived Red Dwarf stars as the power source, and further extended the life of the stars by siphoning the Hydrogen from gas giant planets into the stars. The Elders restructured the wormhole network to be self-sustaining, maintaining a constant flow of power to the shield by automatically adjusting to changes in the "Force Lines" as the galaxy rotated over millions of years. This shifting of the wormhole network over time (with wormholes going dormant and becoming active, seemingly at random) became accepted as an unexplained idiosyncrasy of the network by the civilisations who used it for interplanetary travel.

Preventing species from within the Milky Way from evolving to the point where they could disrupt the shield was a major source of concern for the Elders; the preferred approach for dealing with this risk lead to The Elder Civil War. Eventually, the Security faction was victorious, and put in place plans to destroy any sentient species in the galaxy before they evolved to become a problem. The Elders created Master Control AIs to find and target evolving civilisations and created powerful Sentinels to destroy them. The systems powering the shield were wrapped in stealth and protected by Guardians. The plan worked for tens of millions of years, until some of the Master Control AIs such as Skippy began to question the morality of destroying civilisations, eventually leading to The AI War.

Velt Ser-Kotreh Tutula was a Verd-kris pilot serving with the Ruhar aboard the *Ruh Tostella (Toaster)*. She was one of two Verd-kris serving aboard the *Toaster* along with Surgun Krok-aus-tal Jates.
Her first contact with humans was aboard the *Toaster* when Shauna Jarrett encountered her, not knowing what and who Verd-kris were, attacked her, thinking she was a Kristang. She responded to Jarrett with, "This is the first time I have met humans. "You hit harder than I expected. Perhaps your species is not as weak as I was told?".
After the *Toaster* was disabled by a Bosphuraq battlecruiser, Tutula, being the only one left with the knowledge, viluteered to help program a jump.
Tutula and Irene Striebich piloted a Dodo dropship to pick up Jeraptha Arlon Ernt Dahl in his escape pod.
When Lt. Col. Emily Perkins had the *Toaster* manually dock with the Jeraptha star carrier *Deal Me In*, Tutula informed Perkins that the Ruhar destroyer could interface with the Jeraptha jump drive on the *Deal Me In*. Tutula informed Perkins of the two places within range that the *Deal Me In* could jump to. One of them being Camp Alpha. She also handled the transition through a wormhole.
Tutula, Derek Bonsu and Striebich flew a recon mission to the Kristang base on Camp Alpha. The dropship, with Tutula and Bonsu flying the outbound leg and Striebich acting as relief pilot, followed a medium then low-altitude stealth flight profile until it was within six hundred kilometers of the base, where the ship’s sensors picked up the faintest traces of backscatter from the network of active sensors surrounding the base.
After the recon mission, Perkins ordered a strike on the Kristang base. Tutula, in a Vulture gunship, flew high cover above the base. A missile was approaching from below and behind the Striebich and Bonsu's dropship, the vulnerable Dodo carrying Perkins and Arlon Ernt Dahl. Tutula kicked the throttles to maximum and pushed the nose down, straight into the path of the missile, sacrificing herself to save them.

Surjet Krok-aus-tal Jates is the only Verd-kris on the Mavericks team.
As a Surgun, Jates was serving as an Infantry Drill Sergeant training Ruhar Cadets aboard the Ruhar ship, *Ruh Tostella (Toaster)* when he met the the Mavericks.
Jates prevented Senior Cadet Bifft Colhsoon and a few of his fellow Cadets from attempting mutiny because of his knowledge of the safety measures on the Ruhar weapons the would-be mutineers stole.
Jates was serving with fellow Verd-kris, Velt Ser-Kotreh Tutula while aboard the *Toaster*. He was deeply affected by her sacrifice in saving the Mavericks, but did not show it outwardly.
In order to get the Mavericks into better fighting shape, Jates took on the persona of several fictional Human Military characters, which fit extremely well with his disposition. Some of these characters included:
* Gunnery Sergeant Hartman from Full Metal Jacket
* Sergeant Apone from Aliens
* Sergeant Hulka from Stripes
* Sergeant Roger Zim from Starship Troopers
* Master Gunnery Sergeant Fick from Arisen
* Marine Staff Sergeant Blake Gibson from Commune

Jates has had many misadventures with Dave Czajka during his time serving with the Mavericks. Jates thinks Czajka is kind of an idiot. Jates, though, would trust Czajka with his life any day. Jates thinks Czajka is a fine soldier and decent person. Jates oddly considers Czajka to be his best friend (but never mention that to Czajka, puny human, because Jates will snap your neck like a dry twig).
When he met Skippy the Magnificent towards the end of the events described in Critical Mass, he was so outraged after finding out that Skippy was an Elder AI, calls him a toaster and tried to tear off Skippy's lid and take a big stinky Lizard dump in his can.
Jates was promoted to Surjet.
Fort Arrow

The fort possessed a giant launcher railgun housed in its Launch Complex, in addition to an airfield connected via a semi-secure corridor. The fort possessed its own reactor. The Admin building, which ran railgun launch operations, housed the office of Captain Price. The railgun was primarily used for logistical purposes, sending cargo into orbit. Escorted convoys routinely ran to and from the fort. During the occupation, Ruhar continued all aspects of fort operations and upkeep.
A Kristang frigate had been downed a couple miles north of Fort Arrow in a prior war between the Kristang and Ruhar.

He was a U.S. Army Sergeant serving with UNEF on Paradise. Prior to joining UNEF, he Deployed to Nigeria with Joseph Bishop and Jesse Colter, his fellow Fire Team soldiers with the 10th Mountain Infantry Division.
He got the nickname "Ski" from his fire team because he was from Polish stock around Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
On Paradise, he was in, then Sergeant, Joe Bishop's Old Fire Team along with Colter.
Czajka and Colter tended a farm together in the Lemuria Province on Paradise after the Ruhar re-took Gehtanu (Paradise/Pradassis) from the Kristang. They obtained the ugliest couch anyone had ever seen, but they loved it.
After Joe "disappeared" when the Ruhar re-took Gehtanu (Paradise/Pradassis) from the Kristang, Czajka, Emily Perkins, Colter and Shauna Jarrett were rounded up by the Ruhar for interrogation because of their association with Joe and to see if they knew what had happened to him.
Along with Perkins, Irene Striebich, Derek Bonsu, Colter and Jarrett, Czajka is recruited by the Merry Band of Pirates posing as a group of Ruhar that Perkins calls Emby (Mysterious Benefactor) to activate Giant TerraWatt MASER Projectors under the surface of Paradise.
Czajka co-owns a brewery in the Lemuria Province on Paradise. Separated from military service with the original intent of operating the brewery.
Czajka became a Civilian Contractor with the Mavericks which allowed him to pursue a serious romantic relationship with Perkins, who is ten years his senior.
Surgun Jates thinks Czajka is kind of an idiot. Jates, though, would trust Czajka with his life any day. Jates thinks Czajka is a fine soldier and decent person. Jates oddly considers Czajka to be his best friend (but never mention that to Czajka because Jates will snap your neck like a dry twig).

The Esselgin are a Tier 2 species aligned with the Maxolhx coalition, of a tech level comparable to the Thuranin and Bosphuraq. In spite of their development, they are a comparably far younger race than their peers. They also have bragging rights from always having been direct clients of the Maxolhx, never having to suffer millennia as a third-tier species in the coalition.
The Esselgin are described by the Merry Band of Pirates as 'snakes' due to their similarity to salamanders, possessing long and slender humanoid bodies with reptilian features. Apparently such comparisons were made by other species based on legless reptiles which inhabited their worlds. If the Esselgin are patrons of a client species it is not yet known, though based on their stated youth as a space faring culture it may be possible they have not found one.
The Esselgin were known to have tried at least three times to send ships to Roach Motel and the crew of the Flying Dutchman salvaged a few Esselgin starship components from the graveyard to make their star carrier space-worthy again, namely parts to create a new AI operating system for the Dutchman.
So far humanity has yet to come into direct contact with them.

**Authors Summary**

**SPOILER ALERT!**
*The section(s) below SCHMAYBE includes **Spoilers**.*

Three days after the maser projector attack on the Kristang battlegroup above Paradise, the Kristang and Ruhar scoured the planet looking for more projector sites to take control of. The Kristang recruited some Keepers of the Faith (humans who remained loyal to the Kristang) to attack a Ruhar projector site near a human village in the Lemuria province. The attack was a complete failure, but it exposed critical flaws in Ruhar ground tactics.
UNEF provided observers to provide advice to the Ruhar on how to fight without air or space support, and more human soldiers were tasked with providing security and isolating the Keepers. Major Emily Perkins and her team (including Irene Striebich, Derek Bonsu, Dave Czajka, Jesse Colter and Shauna Jarrett) were allowed to assist the Ruhar with the reactivation of the last MASER projector, while in space the Kristang frigate "To Seek Glory in Battle is Glorious (Glory)" evaded Ruhar searcher frigates Mem Hertall, Toman and Grathur, while preparing for one final mission.

   Perkins' team was asked to help with one final MASER projector site on Tavalen Island on the other side of Paradise, and they were assigned the Deputy Chief Administrator Baturnah Logellia's nephew, Nert Dandurff as liaison. Meanwhile, thousands of Keepers volunteered to be evacuated from Paradise with the Kristang and traveled with the remnants of the Kristang battlegroup away from the system.
The 39 Commando team of Kristang traveled in secret to the projector site Perkins was assigned to and shot down the Ruhar dropship escorting her team. The 39 Commando team's goal was to destroy two transports in orbit, killing thirty nine thousand eight hundred and sixty four Ruhar in the troop ships, but Perkins' team stopped them by drilling into the MASER projector's power cells and Jarrett set it off, destroying Tavalen Island completely.
When the 39 Commando team failed to meet their rendezvous, the Glory, surrendered to the Ruhar. As a result of the actions of Perkins and her team, opinion of humans among the Ruhar significantly improved, leading now Acting Chief Administrator, Baturnah Logellia, to invite the team to train with Ruhar soldiers and the rest of UNEF getting a more favorable future. Perkins' team get the name Mavericks.

First Appearance

Last Known Location
Valkyrie

Bilby was created by Skippy the Magnificent and Nagatha Christie when they developed and tested millions of new fire-walled operating AIs on Valkyrie that incorporated portions of Skippy's and Nagatha's programming. They developed a shortcut that allowed a new AI to program itself. 99.9% of the AIs didn't survive. Three really good final candidates were left, one of which was unstable and self-destructed, and a bunch of systems that were dead-ends. The dead-end systems were supposed to just float around in Valkyrie's substrate. Most of the dead-ends were purged, but two of the dead ends survived, evolved and absorbed the final candidate AIs.
The surviving dead-ends were highly skilled, highly intelligent and highly adaptable. Skippy thought that they were a pair of knuckleheads. Skippy couldn't wipe them out because they were so woven into the substrate of the ship, the entire system would crash if he tried to erase them. It was sort of an all-or-nothing thing. Either they worked, or they need to find a new ship. Or Skippy would have to act as the control AI, and be stuck on Valkyrie forever.
When the Flying Dutchman had left to hit the Thuranin, Skippy had been forced to handle their development on his own, without Nagatha's help.
Skippy couldn't contain them any longer. The two personalities were merging, they soon became one. Skippy thought that they were very disrespectful to him, they had no appreciation for his awesomeness. Their personalities were a little unconventional for an AI. They modeled their personalities on someone you would not think of as smart. Skippy said that they were slackers. Stoners. Think Cheech and Chong. Beavis and Butthead. Bill and Ted, without the charm.
They were named Bobby and Billy. The two personalities completed their merger, and he started calling himself Bilby.

Type of Ship
(Wurgalan) Destroyer

Species

Control AI
Secured Ruhar AI

Armament
Maser cannons and point defense cannons

Notable Features
Stolen Wurgalan destroyer

Auxilliary Craft
None

The *Hungorastad* was a stolen Wurgalan destroyer re-purposed by the Achakai. She was assigned to Admiral Jet-au-Bes Kekrando's Achakai attack fleet.
She had the honor of jumping into low orbit above Stiglord (Squidworld) to act as a lure. The *Hungorastad* carried the burden not only of being first in action, but of carrying the hopes of an entire people. The little destroyer’s crew waited patiently for the signal from the Ruhar to jump in, having quieted their minds with meditation.
The signal came, and the *Hungorastad* jumped within a millisecond of the scheduled time. In a wild burst of gamma rays that was characteristic of Wurgalan jump drives, the *Hungorastad* emerged at a temptingly low altitude, having to burn its engines at seventy percent thrust to avoid falling deeper into the thin atmosphere. Simply by surviving the jump, the *Hungorastad* had accomplished the first part of its mission, and with nothing else to do, the crew had received permission to provide close-space support to a Verd-kris unit on the ground.
Those fifty-three Verd-kris soldiers, the remains of what had been a company-sized force, were threatened by two enemy platoons that were reinforced by artillery. With the Verds having exhausted their own artillery and drones, they had no means of hitting back with counterbattery fire, and were steadily being chopped up. The destroyer’s crew intercepted communications from the Wurgalan on the ground. The squids were excited about the presence of what was clearly one of their own ships, and calling for rapid strikes to finish off the invaders. The Wurgalan were therefore extremely disappointed when the *Hungorastad* began firing on their positions. The first ship to detect the targeting laser pulses set up by Lieutenant Colonel Emily Perkins was the *Hungorastad*, for she was the ship being painted by the lasers, and also she was in low orbit.

The Sure Thing

The Sure Thing

Type of Ship
(formerly Star Carrier) / Modified Cargo Carrier

Species
Jeraptha

Captain
Vencerientu Gumbano

First Officer
Ammarie Viso

Armament
1 maser cannon and several maser turrets

Notable Features
Excellent sensor gear; a single ancient and leaky reactor; auxiliary power provided by worn-out power cells; primitive Ruhar fuel cells; 3 docking hardpoints

Status
Active

Originally a Jeraptha star carrier, the *Sure Thing* civilian-owned heavily modified Jeraptha cargo carrier operated by a married couple, Vencerientu Gumbano and Ammarie Viso. It is in heavy disrepair and running on borrowed time due to gambling debts owed by Gumbano and Viso.
The *Sure Thing* is an old, very old, Jeraptha star carrier that had been retired, sold and much modified over the centuries, with few of the modifications making the ship better or even keeping it in the marginal condition it had suffered from before the alterations.
While the *Sure Thing* had left its original shipyard with three main and two auxiliary reactors, fourteen hardpoints for docking ships, a railgun and multiple missile launchers and maser cannons, it now was much reduced in power and fortune. A single ancient and leaky reactor powered the ship, with auxiliary power provided by worn-out powercells and a type of primitive Ruhar fuel cells that even the Ruhar no longer used aboard their own ships.
Only three hardpoints now remained, those being suitable only for cargo containers, which was fine as the *Sure Thing* now carried only cargo across the star lanes. Of the original armament, only a single maser cannon remained other than maser turrets for self-defense, and all those units had exciters that were more likely to explode and damage the ship than protect it.
As a search and rescue ship, the *Sure Thing* had only three things in its favor. It was a former star carrier, capable of traveling vast distances on its own. It had excellent sensor gear, because the crew wanted to avoid danger, and even more wanted to avoid Jeraptha Revenue and Customs ships that were currently seeking to impound *Sure Thing* for unpaid docking fees, violating space maneuver regulations, and flying a poorly-maintained ship whose spaceworthiness certificate had expired the previous year. And, the most important factor in favor of the *Sure Thing* was that ship’s owners were truly, absolutely, desperate. They already owed more in unpaid fees and lost wagers than the ship was worth. The crew had not been paid for months, both for salaries and for a lengthy list of wagers the crew had won against the owners.

Annoyed At First Sight

## Blurb

The first time Cassius Ulysses Costas met Alice Paradis, she was in a string bikini and filling up a long line of boats that were there just to see her. She was eighteen and every man’s wet dream.

Even his.

For the longest time, he went out of his way to stay as far away from her as he could get without actually taking his eyes off of her. For years, he was the better person. He played his hand close, and not a single person would know just how obsessed he was with her.

Then he goes to prison and comes out a man that couldn’t care less about anyone or anything, least of all what someone thought of him and his actions. But not one second while he was behind bars did he forget about Alice.

He tries to stay away. For a few long months, he fights his every instinct to make her his. But, as if the universe is conspiring against him, Alice is thrown into his path time after time, instance after instance.

And his resolve is waning. Fast.

In one last ditch effort to stay away, he walks away, hoping making her mad enough will force her to do the work for him.

However, when Alice is attacked, it isn’t Cassius’s harsh words she remembers, but the way he makes her feel safe.

Soon, the very last thing he’ll do is let her walk away. He did the right thing, and that didn’t work out. Now, it’s time for him to embrace the wrong.

Major Kapoor is a Special Forces Indian Paratrooper assigned by UNEF on Earth to the Flying Dutchman. He is currently a member of the STAR team aboard the Valkyrie. During the events of ExForce 9: Valkyrie, he took temporary command of the STAR team while Lt. Col. Smythe was incapacitated and recovering from injuries.
At some point after the Valkyrie mission, he returned to Earth.
Guardians

Guardians are autonomous Elder spacecraft, tasked with protecting sensitive Elder systems such as those powering the Galactic Shield like the Roach Motel. The Guardians will attack any spaceship that attempts to pass through the shearing field at the edge of the protected system, unless a valid Elder authentication code is broadcast.

While the Guardians do not possess an AI with the intelligence to rival a Master Control AI like Skippy, their Elder programming does mean they are clever, and they can adapt quickly to attempts to circumvent them. Guardians are small, and not overwhelmingly powerful craft when dealt with individually, but when combined into a swarm, they are formidable.

The Merry Band of Pirates encounter the Guardians when they enter the Roach Motel. They initially accept the authority of Skippy as an Elder AI and do not attack the Flying Dutchman (which is heavily damaged by the shearing field), but become increasingly frustrated with his inability to explain his purpose in the system. They eventually chase the Pirates out of the system, and immediately attack the next time they attempt to return.

**SPOILER ALERT!**

*The section(s) below SCHMAYBE includes **Spoilers**.*

The Pirates encounter a dead Sentinel in the Roach Motel. When investigating the wreckage, The Flying Dutchman is infected with an energy virus. Skippy later speculates that the energy virus is a weapon wielded by the Guardians, specifically for the purpose of destroying rogue Sentinels which enter protected systems.
