SFS Standard Free Captain Creature 6

Captain is the highest rank on board any vessel. They answer only to admirals of the Free Captains and only if their ship isn't engaged in active combat. This captain uses the void mode of her cutlass by default, the hundreds of shimmering stars in the blade representing the lives taken in her countless engagements.

Stardust Storm [two-actions] The Free Captain uses Area Fire with their starfall pistol split by their phase cutlass, causing the starry darkness to spread.

Free Captains

The Free Captains have been a scourge of interstellar shipping across the Pact Worlds for generations, but since the adoption of Drift Lanes, the outlaws have expanded their reach and scale by targeting ships across the galaxy using the new standardized interstellar shipping routes.

The Pirate Code

  • Never fight another Free Captain outside of a sanctioned duel.
  • Never attack clients who pay for protection.
  • A deal is a deal. Honor your agreements.
  • All crew members are free to leave when a ship is in port but must otherwise obey their captain.
  • Information about Drift Lanes can only be shared with others who follow the Pirate Code.

Better To Be Feared

Some Free Captains treat their crew as families, though many use fear to maintain order. While many crew members are quick to leave such a vessel, those who tough it out quickly learn the captain's merciless reputation leads to less danger, as targets are more likely to give up their cargo or even their ship rather than risk their lives in an engagement with the ruthless captain. From surprise attacks to grisly decorations, such captains use whatever tactics and devices are at their disposal to instill fear in all those around them, friend and foe alike.
