Roland Pierson here sah! Got me Challanger in for repairs in Tau 23, but it should be out again in a jiffy.
Background: Ex-BMM escort pilot. Convoy I were working with got destroyed by Kusari, so thought I'd join you lads n' go blow some of theirs up in revenge, eh?
Nobby Preston reporting, sah! *falls under the table*

*the voice grows louder*

*the voice speech deteriorates into mumbling again*
Preston was silently thrown out from the BAF at the rank of Lieutenant. Most of his possesion was used to cover the damages caused in his last landing. Some old tavern patron directed him to the Privateers - he apparently knew what he was talking about. The Privateers were just the right bunch for Preston. Nobody there minds a bit of drinking as long as you manage to shoot straight. Preston currently pilots a Templar and a Challenger, both "borrowed" from the Battleship MacDuff by Sir Andrew Stuart about a year ago.
