Randal Shayne/Professional History: Difference between revisions

While embarking on a different mission, the ''Eagle'' intercepted a distress signal. Investigating lead the ship to a small system within the Wilds, within which a desperate chase was underway. A poorly armed and defended freighter appeared to be making a desperate dash from an M-Class planet nearby. It was pursued by automated drones that were attempting to shoot it down. The freighter's crew was rescued just in time, but the drones began attacking the ''Eagle''. Destroying them with relative ease, the ship made its way to the planet, and was greeted by a society known simply as "The People". Their primary dedication was to maintaining a sickening ideal of genetic purity- an ideal that those attempting to escape on the freighter did not match. The fate of those that were imperfect in the People's eyes was extermination, and it was this fate the freighter crew had been attempting to avoid. Unfortunately, by entering orbit of the planet, ''Eagle'' was considered the property of the People, by the People. Those with biological defects, including Captain Oddas, Helmsman Waters and Security Chief Pavlova, were forcibly taken from the ''Eagle'' and imprisoned, leaving Shayne onboard and attempting to diffuse the situation tactfully. An escape attempt, started by those on the surface and aided by the ''Eagle'', saw the crew manage to escape their forcefields. The starship, under attack from multiple drones, began to overwhelm her defenses as a shuttle, crammed with the stolen crew, began to make its way upwards. Once safely aboard, Captain Oddas proceeded to effectively threaten the leader of the People into allowing their release. ''Eagle'' beat a hasty retreat, but it was clear then and there that the threat posed by the People had not ended there.
