The Outlaw Star[1] (formally, the XGP 15A-II[1]) is a state-of-the art grappler ship created by Gwen Khan, Kei Pirate Guild and the Space Forces. The Outlaw Star was designed with the specific intention of discovering and entering the Galactic Leyline, it was stolen by "Hot Ice" Hilda and later falls into the possession of Gene Starwind and his crew.
History
Creation
Named the XGP 15A-II, the Outlaw Star was created with a clandestine collaboration between the Kei Pirate Guild and the Space Forces[1], following Space pirates supremacy with the grappler ships appropriated by the Chinese space pirates to use in battle. Its construction was requisitioned by the Kei Pirate Guild, however, the Kei pirates alone could not build such an advanced ship.
An alliance with the Space Forces was made to assist in the construction of the Outlaw Star.[2] The Outlaw Star was designed with the intention of entering the Galactic Leyline. However, it required something from the Leyline itself to succeed. The ship's chief architect, Gwen Khan, used information he decoded from the ruins found on the Grave of the Dragon to complete the construction of the Outlaw Star. Using that information, he created Melfina VSD02C, the ship's primary navigation.[2]
Events of Outlaw Star
In an unexpected turn of events, the XGP 15A-II and its navigation system, Melfina, was stolen from both factions by an outlaw named "Hot Ice" Hilda.[3] Hilda intended to use the ship to steal the treasure of the Galactic Leyline from the Kei Pirates for herself. She hid the ship inside a space station disguised as a floating asteroid[1] and escaped to Sentinel III when she was perused by Soi Len and Roi Fong.[3]
News of Hilda's theft reached the Space Forces, who hired the MacDougall Brothers, Ron and Harry MacDougall to destroy any and all traces of the ship[1], evidence of their involvement with Kei Pirate Guild. Following Hilda's death, the XGP was renamed the Outlaw Star in honor of Hilda by Gene Starwind, a gunmen and pilot who joined Hilda in space for the chance of adventure.
Gene searched space for answers on the location of the Leyline in order to help Melfina find answers about her creation.[4] His search made him an enemy of the Kei Pirate Guild, who hunted him across space in order to reacquire the Outlaw Star.[5] What information he received on the nature of the ship from the eldest MacDougall brother, Ron[2] and Gwen Khan[6][7] is minimal at best, but Melfina's intentions as the ship's guide into the Leyline made clear. When questioned by Angel Links officer Valeria Vertone on whether or not Gene and his crew knew of the existence of the XGP and the Space Forces involvement in its construction, the matter was allowed to slide by Duuz on account of information lost in their database.
The Outlaw Star was able to enter the Leyline as predicted.[8] Though it is destroyed during the fight between Hazanko and Gene Starwind, it is later recreated by the Maiden of the Leyline and was able to transform, working in tandum on the physical plain and cyberspace with the crew to destroy the Geomancer after it was transformed by Hazanko.[9] In the aftermath, Gene maintained ownership of the Outlaw Star and returned to Sentinel III.
Design
Interior
The Outlaw Star a spacious interior, with a kitchen, cargo hold, sleeping quarters, several corridors and a bridge. Its primary area of operations if the cockpit. A spacious area that house a mobile captain and crew seat that rises and lowers from the ground during specific situations in combat. Situated behind the captain's seat is the Navigation Tank, an area where Melfina acts as the ship's primary guide.
Exterior
The Outlaw Star is a fairly large ship, originally designed with a dark green paint job.[1] When it fell to the ownership of Gene Starwind, it was repainted with a red and blue paint job and sported the logo of Starwind and Hawking Enterprises.[4]
As a grappler ship, two large mechanical grappler arms stay folded in the bottom of the ship[10], and unfold to the ship's sides when the user activates grappler combat mode. A grappler, such as Gene Starwind uses a specialized headset that feeds direct images from min-cameras jettisoned outside the ship during combat mode to accurately survey his area.
Operating System
Sporting an on-board artificial intelligence system, the Outlaw Star features many systems not present on other ships, such as the synthetic-cyborg interfaced navigation system. It shares very few similarities with other highly advanced ships, such as the El Dorado.
The Outlaw Star is equipped with two large grappler arms which can be freely controlled by the user, as well as various peripherals such as weapons and tools that can be used by the arms. Inside the ship, artificial gravity is produced by a newton reactor.
Trivia
- A reoccurring theme throughout Outlaw Star is the costly upkeep of the Outlaw Star. Any money stolen or earned for the ship is fed directly into the maintenance of the ship, often leaving its crew penniless and on the constant search for jobs.
