OOC: Hey everybody! I've decided to join, though please note that my time is limited, so don't expect zillions of posts from me. Basically, my character is a mercenary, and more details about him will become apparent as I continue to post.

Yemuro System
As vessels went about their daily business, suddenly, a Pirate vessel screamed into the system and began to open fire with its missiles. The black hull of the corvette gleamed as it streaked towards a frieghter and began to blaze away with its laser turrets.
Moments later, another flash broke out as a fleet of four Kestrels and three Corvettes entered the system, their IFF transponders identifying them as Mercenaries.
The Pirates didn't know what hit them.
A hail of missiles and proton bolts spewed out from the mercenary fleet, engulfing and disintigrating the Pirate vessel immediately. As wreckage floated away, Den'zar Carnotaur surveyed the scene and grinned. "Have the corvettes move in and salvage any wreckage, then add it to our inventory."
Carnotaur was the commander of the mercenary fleet, and had been so for some time. For the last several weeks he had been hiding out in the vicinity of New Antigua, fighting and hiding from Pirates for days on end without seeing a planet or station. However, now having killed the Pirate he was after, Carnotaur had returned with his fleet to less-remote areas of space.
His flagship, the Kestrel escort frigate Nemesis , slowly cruised through the system, her escorts either gathering wreckage or staying in a V-shape formation.
"Your orders, sir?" Carnotaur's lieutenant inquired.
His blue eyes kept focused on the screen, his hands folded in front of him, his mind pondering his fleet's next move. Finally, he spoke. "Move into orbit above Yemuro, and prepare to broadcast a message..."
