Lore

Left an orphan by tragedy, young Aron Brightland grew up fast on the rusting starships of the Exile Fleet. It was a tough life for a young boy without a family. Survival meant learning to defend himself from fleet thugs and petty criminals, and Brightland became well-acquainted with a pair of pistols at an early age.

In time, Brightland struck out on his own as a bounty hunter, quickly earning a reputation as a relentless pursuer who always got his man – but the Fringe has a way of testing a man’s
mettle. Confident of his skills, the young Brightland took a bounty on an infamous Marauder: Captain Thokov. After tracking the captain to a seedy spaceport bar, Brightland walked in, drew his pistols and fixed the captain with a steely gaze.

“I’m bringin’ you in, Thokov. And they’re payin’ extra if you’re still breathin’.”

“Y’don’t say, lad? And what will ye be gettin’ for bringin’ a bloodthirsty spacedog like me to heel?”

“An extra ten percent. Plus I get to keep your hat.”

With lightning-quick speed, Thokov lashed out and disarmed Brightland, sending his pistol across the room – and moments later, a wicked Marauder blade appeared in the captain’s hand. Drawing his own knife from a well-worn boot, Brightland squared off against Thokov, and soon a screaming crowd gathered around them, smelling blood in the air.

The two combatants circled around one another like feral beasts, dodging and weaving as their knives flashed in the smoky air. Relying on his snake-like reflexes
and raw, animal instinct, Brightland’s blade soon drew blood, causing Thokov to cry out in rage and frustration – and after a few minutes it was obvious that Thokov had finally met his match.

Fearing that his captain would be defeated, Thokov’s first mate Lieutenant Pragg intervened, breaking a bottle over Brightland’s head. As Brightland staggered backwards from the treacherous sneak attack, Thokov’s blade struck him viciously in the face – resulting in a bone-deep gash that left his right eye a bloody
ruin. In the ensuing chaos, the Marauder captain and his thuggish lieutenant disappeared into the screaming mob, vowing to take their revenge on Brightland when their paths crossed once again.

Standing in the middle of the frenzied throng with blood running from the ruins of his eye, Brightland felt an icy rage. His pride had undone him. It wouldn’t happen again. He decided then and there he’d keep the eye as it was, a painful reminder not be so damned stupid. And he swore the next time he saw Thokov, he’d settle the score in blood.

Lore

Justice Kain and the Hangman passed quietly through the door of the airlock, but as soon as their boots hit the floor, the young Granok justice felt the stone on the back of his neck go frosty. The ship was cold and silent. The air tasted of oily smoke.

It had only been a few months since Kain had been sworn in by the legendary Judge Karl “the Hangman” Denshaw, and they had been busy months indeed. Rumor had it that the infamous Darkspur Cartel had infiltrated the fleet, and the Hangman had sworn to
take them down or die trying.

Drawing their weapons, they ventured into the ship’s interior, navigating by emergency lights recessed in the floor. They found corpses everywhere, presumably from the ship’s crew. It was obvious there had recently been a gunfight, but now the ship was completely quiet. They stepped carefully over the grisly scene, passing into the shadowy depths of what looked like a deserted cargo hold.

Suddenly, the air around them erupted in gunfire. An ambush! Kain and the Hangman
dove for cover, landing behind a stack of wooden crates. Smoke filled the room, and the laughter of Cartel thugs echoed hollowly in the hold. Kain looked over to Denshaw… and saw a dark stain spreading over the chest of the judge’s uniform.

“Damn, Kain. They got me and got me good.”

“Hang on, Judge,” said Kain. “I’ll get you outta here.”

“Too late for that. But you can do something for me.”

“Name it.”

The Hangman pulled the badge from his blood-soaked vest, and with a shaky hand pinned
it on Kain’s uniform.

“You’re ready for this,” the Hangman said. “Now swing the hammer of justice, and swing it hard.”

Denshaw’s eyes flickered and closed. Cold fury rose up in Judge Kain.

“Consider it done,” Kain said.

Kain stood, a pistol in each hand, firing at the Cartel thugs hiding in the depths of the hold. Kicking the wooden crates aside, he heedlessly walked into a deadly barrage of Cartel bullets like a vengeful wraith, his eyes lit with an unholy fire. First one enemy dropped, then
another, their laughter quickly becoming shouts of panic and fear. At some point he realized he was wounded, but the carnage didn’t end until the last man lay dead on the floor.

Kain walked into a dark room on the other side of the cargo hold. At the center of the room was a holo-projector, and standing upon it was the flickering image of a large, well-dressed Krogg.

“Last one standin’, huh?” said the hologram. “You cost me a lot of money today, lawman.”

Kain said nothing.

“I’m Black Jack
Moragg. I like to be acquainted with people I’m gonna kill. And you are?”

“The name’s Kain. Remember it. Because I swear by the scales of Lady Justice, I’m gonna find you. And I’m gonna bury you.” Then he tipped his hat, pulled his pistols from their holsters, and blew the holo-emitter to scrap.

Turning to leave, Kain looked down at the badge pinned on his chest. There was blood on it, but whose it was he didn’t know. He took hold of it, wiped it off with his sleeve, and walked out the room.

Happy Birthday, Belle Walker

Lore

Her father’s gift had arrived in Belle’s workshop on the Gambler’s Ruin earlier that afternoon. She’d been staring at it for hours, not sure exactly what to make of it. Her scanbots Rusty and Bolt hovered at her shoulder, watching her work.

“I know it’s an Eldan artifact,” she sighed. “That’s about it.”

“Dorian must want you to figure it out!” Rusty said.

“Thanks, Rusty,” Belle said. “Bolt?”

“It is a dangerous alien object. I’d leave it alone. Not that you’ll listen,” the scanbot said.

“Worry-wart,” Belle said. “It’s my birthday, and I aim to open my present.”

“What a surprise,” Bolt said, zipping off down the hall. “I’ll be in the cargo hold, awaiting disaster.”

“I’ll get him, Belle!” Rusty said, following his counterpart. “Get back here, you stubborn, cowardly…”

Belle smiled and turned back to her work. The object had a neural core, but the Eldan code stored within was extremely complex and comprised of strange symbols. Mesmerized, she delved further, looking for larger
patterns, relying on the intuition that made her the best technologist in the fleet.

And then it hit her. Those symbols were data-markers, those were gateways, and those.

Her fingers tapped out the most logical pattern she could see. Immediately the sphere floated off the table and hung suspended in the air.

“Gotcha,” Belle said.

The sphere responded immediately. Its outer shell unfolded a pair of powerful looking arms, one ending in appendages, the other in what looked like a weapon. Long
armored legs descended from the spherical torso to the deck of Belle’s cabin. It aimed its weapon arm at the young human.

“PROTECT THE PROJECT,” the Eldan construct said.

Belle dove out of the way as an acrid beam of energy burned a glowing orange hole in the door behind her. “Shootin’ stars!” she cursed. She tapped the datachron on her wrist. “Bolt! Rusty! Code-Priority-Get-Your-Blasted-Cans-Back-In-Here!”

The construct fired again. Belle hit the deck just in time, but the beam punched a hole
in the viewport that violently depressurized the cabin. Belle clutched at the nearest anchor, the bolted-down legs of her dining table.

The construct had mass, but not balance. With nothing to grasp, it flew headfirst into the shattered viewport and lodged there like a cork, helplessly flailing its arms and legs but still firing its plasma weapon. Belle took cover just as Rusty and Bolt returned.

“Bolt,” she cried as the air filled with plasma, “Zap ‘im!”

“If I must,” the scanbot replied, and
sent several thousand volts through the alien machine. Still lodged in the ship’s hull, its arms and legs folded in on themselves. Moments later the construct was once again a sphere, albeit one holding all the air inside Belle’s cabin.

“Well,” Belle said, admiring the new decor. “Daddy always said if at first you don’t succeed, try breakin’ somethin’.” With a grin, she retrieved a laser cutter and eyed the dormant construct. “Happy birthday to me.”
