A Brief History

Richard Stewart was born on the fifth day of November in 796 A.S. on Philadelphia Station. The son of a Planet Pittsburgh yard foreman, he was informally educated in all things mechanical, as well as basic chemistry and trigonometry. After his eighth birthday, he enrolled in one of Planet Manhattan's many public secondary schools. Throughout his high school career, he had earned credit after credit picking pockets and playing intricate confidence schemes. After being nearly captured by an LPI patrol in 814, he found passage on a transport ship to Detroit. As everyone who's anyone in the computer world has been there, he was quickly noticed in Detriot's infamous bar, always typing away on his Perso-Puter 1000. He was offered a position as a Developer. The recruiting office liked his code sample, and he was put to work in their "Inter-Corporate Office". He soon realized the purpose of this division was actually to "stamp out" any possibility of competition, as well as general corporate espionage. Not having a problem with this, Stewart was given the task of writing a worm that kicked back internal memos and requests. Ironically, it was this very worm that exposed to Ageira LPI's classified case file on their illegal practice of using TLAGSNET to buy at lower prices from and sell at higher prices to traders who bought from Ageira's competitors. Months later, one of the computer viruses Ageira used to stir up their demand was traced back to them. Headquarters decided to blame this on Stewart as punishment for making the company look bad when he refused to talk to the press about the incident.

Armament

The Dagger is equipped with three class four "Hellflurry" tachyon weapons, two cannons and a turret. It also fields two CP-b pulse cannons. This lethal combination lays waste to any other light fighter that dares to challenge its territory.

However, it is remarkably lacking in firepower necessary to attack and stop large transports. Transports, and even some more capable freighters, simply ignore the fighter due to its relatively negligible damage potential. Stewart plans to reconcile this if and when he gets promoted, but until then he works in groups.
