Star Captain FAQ
Q. What is a star captain?
A. Star captains are men of great heroism, valor, and honor. They bravely destroy space aliens every day so you and I can live in peace.
Q. What does a star captain look like?
A. They usually have stubble. Many star captains also have a square jaw, a helmet, or both. Star captains can be found at the helm of a Terran Alliance Capital Ship, or in a cave somewhere killing aliens, or even on
the maintenance deck of their ship, fixing a broken shield generator.
Q. I've never met a star captain. Give me an example of a famous star captain.
A. Louis "Micro" Spender, who broke free of an enemy cell to deliver intelligence on the troop movements of the Balsa Pirates, comes to mind. Don't forget his heroic friend,
Jim "Planetbarber" Wallace, who served under
Raymond "Gravity" Sander in the Fifth Invasion.
Q. What sort of weapon does a star captain use?
A. Well, Star Captain Jean "Gravity" Guttenov made the Teragyll Reaper famous. His contemporary,
Louis "Chigger" Neilson, of course prefers the Walther Quad Laser. A true star captain feels comfortable with a whole range of weapons, from Incam Quad Lasers to Fleet Standard Issue Ion Projectors.
Q. Wow, star captains are really great! Will you tell me all about them?
A. You bet! You can subscribe to the official Star Captains Club of America RSS feed. Every so often, we will
update it with the latest breaking news about our heroes in the sky.
An example of a harrowing tale from the galactic front lines:
The Intergalactic News Service just received a report stating that last night, Star Captain Louis "Knuckles" Kipper, veteran of the Battle of Ravin IX, daringly charged an assassin droid to save the prince's life! He will receive the Orange Star Award for his valorous display of honor. During the ordeal, Kipper was reported to have
used his GE Ion Projector with deadly effectiveness. Known to the crew of his Fleet Tactical Carrier simply as
"Knuckles," Kipper is a humble yet intense star captain. His life-long friend and navigator,
Ricardo "Fingernails" Guttenov, says this about him: "Knuckles can do it all. One minute he's fixing a
shield generator, the next he's off fighting Romarin Raiders with his Taihatsu Heavy Industries Energy Repeater. He's really
an impressive man, and we're glad that he's at the helm of the U.S.S. Liberator." The Hegemon will be presenting the award at a formal ceremony next month.
