Outlaw Star
| GP15A-II was the original name for the Outlaw
Star, one of the most advanced ships in the galaxy that eventually
fell into the hands of Gene Starwind. The ship itself was created
during a highly secretive partnership between certain Pirate
and Security forces in order to build advanced technology, including
the XGP. The ship combines the combat capabilities of Pirate
ships with the sleek design and standardized systems of Security
ships. The computer mind of the ship is known as "Gilliam",
which is also the name of small robots that perform maintenance
on the vessel. A unique feature to the XGP is the fact that
it makes use of Melfina, a bio-android to run the ship's navigation.
Melfina places herself inside a large glass tube filled with
special liquid, this liquid somehow enables her to make a direct
"mental" connection with the ship. This allows her
to share vital information with the ship at a much faster rate
than could normally be achieved through normal means. Melfina's
programming also includes special programming regarding information
about the Galactic Leyline, but nobody other than the original
programmers and the Leyline itself can access it. Gwen Khan
was one of the original scientists who built the XGP and Melfina,
and he once used a special command prompt to deactivate the
bio-android. |

Before the ship could be fully tested the
infamous pirate Hilda stole the ship. Hilda considered the ship
to be a way of receiving long overdue reimbursements for work
she had done for both parties. When Hilda was killed while stealing
the XGP near Farfala it fell into the hands of Gene Starwind
and his small crew of adventurers. Starwind renamed the ship
"The Outlaw Star" in honor of Hilda, the outlaw who
had befriended him. The Kei pirates sent the assassin group
"The Anten Seven" to recover the Outlaw Star and Melfina,
but each attempt was unsuccessful. After Gene Starwind, Melfina
and the rest of the Outlaw Star crew reached the Galactic Leyline
Melfina's programming regarding the Leyline was deleted.
In combat the Outlaw Star uses a variety of means to defeat
the enemy and protect itself. An interesting innovation is the
use of cameras deployed into space before a fight begins so
that they can be used to spot incoming enemies from all directions.
Missiles and Grappler arms are the primary weapons of the Outlaw
Star, and the grappler arms have interchangeable parts so that
everything from buzz saws to pistols can be attached and used
for any situation that arises. In addition to powerful weapons,
the ship also features a powerful hull that has protected the
crew from assaults of all kinds, including a voyage through
an ether stream. Time and again the Outlaw Star has prove that
it is easily one of the most versatile ships in the galaxy,
and capable to overcome nearly any obstacle. |

El-Dorado
 |
 |
El Dorado is the name of the McDougalls
personal ship, and it has a reputation of being one of the most dangerous
ships in the galaxy. It features four grappler arms, an idea by the
McDougalls who felt it would give them an advantage in combat over
ships with two grappler arms. The ship is very fast and has won several
different space races over the years. While it does not have the huge
amount of missiles that other ships do, it can be outfitted with the
Halcyon missile, which is one of the most powerful missiles available.
The best-kept secret about the El Dorado is that there have been multiple
copies of the ship built. When the Outlaw Star faced the El Dorado,
its crew was unaware of this information and believed that the El
Dorado was extremely maneuverable. Gene Starwind and the crew of the
Outlaw Star destroyed one of the El Dorado's, but at least one remains.

Horus
 |
 |
| Horus is one of Hilda's ships that is
mainly used to transport her places, for good reason. The ship is
nearly useless in combat, and does not even feature the grappler arms
that are so common in other Outlaw and Pirate ships. However, it does
have missiles and guns to defend itself, but because of Horus's size
there is very little room to carry ammo. The ship was destroyed, along
with its owner, when it was captured by the gravity of the nearby
star, Farfala during a mission to recover the Outlaw Star. Obviously,
nothing remains of the two. |

Hanmyo's Ship
| |
| Hamyo's Ship belongs to Hanmyo, a member of the Anten
Seven who also happens to be a child. The ship itself is one of a
kind in its ability to separate into three separate grappler ships
during combat. Very few pilots are skilled enough to go up against
Hanmyo's piloting abilities, let alone face the wrath of two other
ships (piloted by Kami and Nata, two super intelligent felines). The
ships use missiles as their main weapon, and in many cases these work
to devastating effect. Prior to its run in with the Outlaw Star the
ship(s) had never lost a battle, and everyone they had faced prior
to that was killed. Unfortunately a clever strategy by Jim Hawking
led to the demise of the ship(s) and its remains are currently floating
in space, while the pilots are dead. |
|
Kei Pirate Ship
| |
| An unnamed Kei Pirate Ship belonged to the Pirates
who originally pursued Hilda. Similar to Hanmyo's ship it has the
ability to split into two separate ships and use them in combat. It
had grappler arms and missiles, but was ultimately destroyed when
it landed into Farfala, a star. |
