Abstata Dunkensheel
(NPC) Abstata is a fairly short and slender human male in his mid-forties, average looking with olive skin and jet black short hair. He tends to dress in slightly worn business suits. He has problems speaking Galanglic, having been raised on the border world of Efate/Regina, in an area that has been traditionally mixing several known languages into a local dialect all its own for centuries. The captain is a humble man, and he is quite polite even at the worst times of stress. He won a repossessed merchant vessel in a lottery drawing run by TCI Salvage and Skiptracers Inc., in a last ditch effort to save a bankrupt firm. He paid a single credit for the ticket that won the old ship, hence the logo and the name of the vessel. Abstata is a lawyer by trade, and specializes in mercantile law and customs. He managed to pass the captain's test by sheer luck, and has obtained a temporary (six month) license to operate the vessel. He has hired a crew who is working on restoring the vessel during its travels, managed to sell passage to four passengers for the four working passenger staterooms (the others are being remodeled), has purchased some speculative goods, filled his low berths with passengers, and is now setting off for adventure in the life of a free trader merchant. The one major problem facing the captain, besides his total lack of knowledge of starship operations, is that he gets violently sick during hyperspace travel and has to travel in cryogenic storage himself. |
