except the last few occurred in the Corporate Sector over several
year. Dates are estimated. (BSW4 - Before Star Wars Episode 4:
A New Hope; ASW4 - After Star Wars Episode 4: A New Hope)
- 8 yrs BSW4: The Angels receive their 3WA training on the
planet Shimogu. At one point, they break curfew, head for a bar,
run into a director for Urquidez Vidpro, and end up in a two minute
bit in the kung fu movie "Revenge of the Fists of the Eight
Drunken Monkeys." (Dirty Pair: A Plague of Angels)
- 8 yrs BSW4: On their first mission, somehow, a nuke goes
off by accident. (Mentioned in Dirty Pair II.)
- 7 yrs BSW4: They are paired up with Shasti and Deirdre,
a veteran Trouble Consultant team, and sent after Lacombe, a vicious,
brutal pirate. During the course of the job, Shasti betrays them,
killing Deirdre, and nearly killing the Angels. After recovering
from their injuries, the Angels receive their licenses. (Dirty

from a small incident to a global disaster, leaving the planet
a ghost planet where no one has been able to live since. (Mentioned
in the book and first comic. Interesting to note that Kei thought
it was rather violent.)
- 6 yrs BSW4: The Angels sent to Dangle to investigate the
cause of an explosion at a Gravis Foundation research facility.
Their ship is attacked while they are coming in for a landing,
but they beat off the attack. One of their attackers escapes,
crashing into a Galopogos spaceliner. They trace the source of
the explosion to an orbiting space center, which they board. After
taking control of the station, they are leaving the system when
the station's engines start up, and cause the station to crash
into the city of Tascopolis, killing 1.2 million people and laying
waste to the continent. (Great Adventure of the Dirty Pair.)

grenade goes off, destroying a section of the space station's
ring. (Dirty Pair comic book.)

a blowar incident. They free Kelvin O'Donnel from rival industrialist

of his own. 100,000 killed when a biowar sample gets released.
(Dirty Pair comic book.)

of Saris. ((Dirty Pair II.)
- 4 yrs BSW4: Living on the O'Neill space station Kalevala,
they become involved in a "simple" smuggling case. Also
during that time, the reporter Cory Emerson is sent to interview

a grav bomb, which eventually goes off, causing great damage to
the station. Their lawsuit against the system wide ban is still

One of the engineers is Billy Galet, Yuri's childhood boyfriend,

but not Billy. Kei finds out that he died, and left a droid that
