Background:
Rupert Gladstone was born to a militaristic clan of fighters, monks, and priests that made its fortune guarding merchant fleets on the Rock of Bral. As a cadet he was assigned to a Ship of The Line, assigned to guard the merchant craft of The Black Pegausus Trading Company who plied the trade lanes from Bral and thier home world, that passed through an area of space often raided by the the Neogi. This eventually led his can to come into conflict with the Neogi raiders fleet, and be all but wiped out. In the conflict. Rupert was assigned to The Red Vengence, a Ship of The Line in his Clans fleet,and the pride of his clan as she cariied 41 Giff Bombards, for his first cadet voyage. Unfortunately the Red Vengence, was destroyed by a huge mysterious new Neogi Battleship twice the size of a Deathspider. Rupert was nocked unconsious by a large explosion caused by detonated blackpowder during the struggle and awoke alone and adrift in a lifeboat, and was picked up eventually by a patrol of Hammerships out of the Rock of Bral and has just recently set foot back on the Rock of Bral, the soul survivor of his clan, so far as he knows.
