Ship
FRV_Aurora
Ship type
Stripped down Zoner gunboat, modified for speed and mercenary work. Specially modified as a science platform for current work.
Weapons and Equipment
4 standard gunboat turrets
2 mine launchers (not installed)
1 enhanced thruster
1 heavy countermeasure launcher
1 class 8 graviton gunboat shield
Description
Rough on the outside, the Aurora has been through a lot. She's quick and agile, allowing her to get into and out of trouble with ease. She's a trust worthy ship, often taking critical damage before even slowing down. While not the most deadly of ships, she does server her purpose as a fast cargo runner or recon ship, which can defend itself if the need arises.

Name
Chris Davidson
Age
30
Job
Pilot, freelancer
Description
Chris is a man of action, little can't be accomplished using brute force in his eyes. He prefers to fly fast and on the dangerous side, often taking unneeded risks just for the thrill. He is best friends with his partner, Jen, who also sometimes shares his bunk. When there is a tough situation at hand, he's the man to call. Chris considers himself one of the best pilots around, however there has been no proof of this, and his track record of running into other ships definitely does not show this. He however will claim that the reason for these collisions, is because everyone else flies too slow.

Description
Jen, is Chris's right hand man.. er woman. She's loyal to him and him only. Being partners for as long as they flew in space, they both trust each other deeply with their lives. Secretly she loves Chris, but can't bring herself to tell him, due to their working relation. She's a skilled pilot, deadly with a rifle but is also the brains of the operation, often steering Chris towards a more.. thoughtful solution, instead of his usual shoot first, ask questions later approach.
Name
Mike Harper
Age
18
Job
Engineer, Freelancer
Description
Mike, is a quiet kid, picked up off a desolate freeport by Jen, when she felt bad for him and knew he had potential. As a child Mike was around ships all his life and served as an apprentice to one to one of the engineers at a repair bay. Life was always hard for him, but working for Chris and Jen he seems to have a place in life and is finally happy. He quickly became an expert engineer after fixing all the damage Chris tends to do, though many of his repairs involve some sort of tape, which he swears by.... Mike can hardly fly a ship, something he was never interested in learning, nor can he shoot a weapon well, but he has his place on the Aurora, and keeps her running, more or less.
[Intro]
Chris Davidson sat quietly in one of the many bars on the Barrier Gate station. He had been scoping out a woman, who's sexiness was known to every man in the room. She knew how to get what she wanted... that's for sure.. He'd wait till she has a few more drinks, then he'd move in.
"Hey, if you are done drooling over every whore in the bar... we've got customers waiting" A tall beautiful woman, spoke out loud from behind him.
"Jen, you pick the worst times..."
"Lets go" she grabbed him from the scruff of his neck and nearly dragged him off his seat before he got up and came along.. Jen was Chris's partner, where he went, she went and vice versa.... they were a team, and sometimes more.
"So what is it?" Chris managed to let out while finishing his beer, then throwing the bottle against a nearby wall.
"The boss wants us to ferry some scientists around" replied Jen as she glanced back at the broken bottle... but not like it made a difference.. this station is sometimes like a dump...
"Now why would we want to do something like that?"
"You'd agree to anything if you see how much we will be paid...."
"Yeah and whats that?"
"Well, 40 million credits... plus a complete refit of the Aurora's engines."
"Damn... were do we start?"
"For, now... lets go find Mike, then we need to go pick up our cargo... I mean scientists... at planet Cambridge" Jen finished, as she led Chris out to the docking port where their ship sat. "Oh and the boss said you wouldn't say no, so he already fixed up the ship"
"Damn, no choice either way..."
