The Exile - An Article in the Corsair news paper circulated on Planet Crete
Roughly a standard week ago, Dark Oddity of the Corsairs was apprehended by the Corsairs, given a civilian transport and sent packing as an exile.
It was rumored amongst a great many Corsairs that this Exile had to do with the Phantom's that have been seen out in the border worlds on numerous occassions.
The "Exile" was a swift, and silent takeover, as DarkOddity had a small fleet under his command.
Dark Oddity received word from the Elders that he was needed for a special assignment that had to do with the Hispania project that has rumors traveling around the whole of Sirius. Dark was on his Yacht in Omicron Alpha when he received the word, upon receipt he ordered his second in command on his Osiris, "Aldebaran" to take the fleet to Crete and go through any preparations needed for the mission.
Upon arriving the second in command was alerted by the elder that while they awaited Dark's arrival they would need to load some ground troops on all the ships for a ground attack, details eyes only for Dark himself. This was done.
Roughly two days later, Dark managed to find his way back to Crete to begin the mission, the second he was wit hin communications range the Elders hailed him from the planet, preventing communications with his Flagship.
A short time of what seemed to be jibberish passed, and the second the personal yacht entered formation with the fleet, their guns turned and opened fire. The barrage of firepower completely disabled the Yacht before the order to cease fire was given. Shortly after a platoon of soldiers boarded the vessel, taking the crew members prisoner for debriefing on Crete, arresting and locking Dark in a mobile cell in which he was taken to the Elders.
After a long and painful trial with the Elders, they came to the conclusion that they wouldn't kill Dark, but instead he would be forced to be an Exile. No longer welcome amongst the Corsairs.
Dark was given a starflyer civial light fighter and sent packing with an escort of no less than 20 legionares and 30 Titan very heavy fighters to assure he followed through with leaving. The intent was for Dark to be killed by nomads and whatever else happened to be on the route to wherever he was going to run to.
Noone knows the whereabouts of DarkOddity, but be warned anyone caught harboring this criminal of the Corsairs in our space will be treated harshly according to the elders.
Dark's personal fleet was destroyed by The Gamma Fleet to appease the Phantoms and prevent destruction of Planet Crete.
In seperate but related news, the Bounty Hunters Guild, specificaly the "Shadow Stalkers" Organization lead by Aiden Patrick have adopted the name of the Aldebaran to their flagship as it was a ship greatly respected by the Corsairs for it's prowess and firepower. With the original aldebaran out of service, the SSO figured it would be a great name to use to strike fear into the hearts of the Corsairs. This is a ploy that we shall not effect our spirit!
:lol: I think he already does fight for the BHG! Could it be that Aiden Patrick be Dark Oddity? What do people think?
