>> Advertisement; Orbital Spa and Cruise "Luxury Liner" ; Heaven's Ark <<
In the depths of space lie beautiful, wild systems. Planets with swirling gasses, nebula with multiluminescent patterns, and suns with unique and bright colors. The Heaven's Ark is the chiefmost tour guide for these systems. The multi-million credit luxury suite carries 20 million passengers every 24 hours through the most unique and beautiful systems in known territory. The swirling dodger-blue gasses of Sigma-13, The enigmatic planet of [color=purple]Hiran, the industrial bustle of New London, and the exotic paradise of Munich are just a few popular spots on the Ark's tour agenda.
The crew of the Ark are numbered in the thousands, and they're all paid respectably, as well as given luxury residence. Applications for employment are always reviewed. With dozens of casinos, theme parks, bars, water parks, and spa establishments, passengers are always treated to their every need for a very affordable price. All condominiums and entertainments are free once the admission ticket is paid.
The chief of each department of crew are the most experienced and skilled available.
Captain Ark: The captain of this grand vessel, he rules with cool judgment. The whole ship radiates with his authority. He pays mind to every issue on his ship, down to the scuffed knee of a child. He can handle any situation quickly and effectively. A true captain.
Sven Guttag: Born and raised on Stuttgart, Sven's father worked as a Orbital Spa and Cruise escort. Sven got to work on the transports his father guarded. It's been a rewarding 15 years of work for him, and he now is the Head of Communications on board the Ark. He can wire 10 transmissions per minute, and has a voice that many women swoon over.
Rachel McRainy: In charge of gunnery and weapons, Rachel is quick to eliminate any threat to the Ark. She has fired over 10,000 shots from the ship's guns and has never missed yet. She came from the Leeds system, and worked in the Dublin gold fields since she was old enough to work onboard a mining ship. She was a pilot for the Mollys until she decided that a pirate's life wasn't for her. Despite her temper and trigger finger, she is a sympathetic and caring woman.
Jimmy Hanson: The chief Engineer onboard, he keeps the engines and almost all the other hardware running singlehandedly. He can keep the cruise engines running for hours, and has installed dampers to them to make them further resistant to pirate cruise disruptors. He enjoys working on the Ark and will continue for many years, he says.
Carla Hanson: Jimmy's sister, and betrothed to Rachel, Carla is in charge of logistics and finance. She makes sure that the passengers are constantly supplied with goods, and that the payroll of the crew stays in check. She places orders for new goods, and to sell old ones quick enough that the refueling teams have to race her.

Sirius Cruise Lines - Corsair - 06-15-2009
Admiral Sexton shook Captain Ark's hand generously. "Greetings, Admiral." Ark said with respect. "I'm honored that you chose to retire to my vessel!"
Admiral Sexton smiled back at his old friend. "Not retired, my friend, just taking a leave of absence" This was, of course, complete bollocks. Sexton was using the Ark as a mobile command post, where he could safely issue orders to the Navy without worry of being attacked by Rheinland forces. Ark knew this. But his friendship with Sexton ran deep. "My ship is at your disposal, my friend." Ark said, stepping aside and allowing the Admiral access to the flight deck.
// I will be roleplaying Admiral Sexton in-game. I don't expect any Navy forces to listen to me.:P
