Second, the purpose of giving you this list of items isn't to stifle your creativity with your articles. In deciding just what should be considered the minimum for this contest, all ship/station rosters were surveyed to see how different members have chosen to present their characters.

*[[Whale, David|David Whale]]
*[[Whale, David|David Whale]]
