Cevix is a Tranii privateer in service to the Alliance. What we know about him is not a lot, but we know is all too common.
Originally a Tranii Ranger, Cevix's family unit were attacked by CSA forces while on normal patrol at the edge of the conflict zone. His parents and mate killed, young Cevix was taken as a "conscript laborer", a slave worker. He was able to escape three to four years later. We do know that he spent six to eighteen months with the Slave Underground, organizing raids on slave camps and underground defense. When he left the Underground, he was in the company of one of the other slaves who had been that camp. (see Murr, below). He returned to Trania, and resigned his commission with the Rangers. For the next two years, he has no know history.
Three years ago, Cevix ambushed an Alliance convoy, dragging them out of hyperspace. Instead of attacking them, he requested a Letter of Marquee. Two months later, the Cevix Pardon made it's first raid as a Rebel Privateer. Since then, he has taken his war witht he CSA and Empire to the enemy. In his first year alone, he provided the Rebellion with 120,000 pieces of small arms, 300 tons of explosives, 1,000 tons of speeder and surface vehicle parts, 700 tons of starship parts, a bulk transport, 2,000 tons of food and water, 600 uniforms, 30,000 tons of ore (of unusually high purity), 80,000 tons of miscellaneous cargo and liberated close to 400 enslaved individuals.
It was during this first year that he proved himself to the Rebellion. He was waiting for a meeting with an arms trader on the outskirts of the Mantoonie system, when a mayday went out on the Rebel emergency frequency. An unarmed convoy of six transports had been jumped by Imperial Customs cutters, one disabled and loosing air. He ordered his crew to battle stations, and made a precision micro-jump to the convoy, placing himself only a kilometer from the Imperials. He released his fighters, and inside of three minutes had neutralized the Imperial craft. He transmitted his emergency jump co-ordinants to the functional freighters, took the crew off the disabled ship (which he ordered destroyed), and jumped, after telling the Rebellion what had happened. Because of his actions, the Rebellion was able to keep five of the six medium transports and their cargo of starfighter parts, with only two fatalities to friendly forces.
Cevix is a tall, muscular Tranii with dark amber coloured fur. He wears a weapons belt and a Corellian-style cargo vest. He is occasionally moody, and suffers from bouts of depression. He is very close to his crew, especially his first and second officers. His bounty is for 150,000cr each with the Empire and the CSA. He has a reputation for using slightly unconventional tactics, most of which center on the fact the Pardon's ore processing system is intact.
"Heave to and prepare to be boarded, you Corporate scum. If you do not, I will at least be paid for the raw alloys in your ship."
Murr is Cevix's First Officer and his lover. She is a member of the Tinnell, a very rare felanoid species, and former slave. It was in a CSA slave camp where she first met Cevix, and helped him plan an escape. Ever since then, they have been together. It has only been in the last year that the two have openly expressed their feeling for each other, and the crew think that it is the best thing that ever happened to their leaders.
She is looking for her older sister, who's name when pronounced by humans comes out "Purr". Purr snuck onto a ship that had landed near their village, and was not seen after that. Murr left aboard the next ship that came near their village, and was forced into slavery. She dreams of finding her sister, whom she no longer worries about. All she knows that her sister is with a "good man" and is somewhat safe. She can't say how she knows this, but she is most adamant about it. The Pardon's Rebellion liaison observer has requested that a search be made of the Rebellion, in an attempt to find Purr. (for more information on Purr, see SWAJ1 and 3)
Like most Tinnell, Murr is an incredible instinctive mechanic. Unlike most Tinnell, she is not a naive, wide-eyed innocent. She has become a hard-bitten, steely nerved privateer. She is has glossy, brown- black fur and piercing green eyes. She usually dresses in simple combat fatigues, but she is always barefoot.
"I'm looking for someone!! Have any of you seen a Tinnell, someone like me, in the past year? Don't lie to me, and I won't get angry."
Mutar Rin Ratag is the Second Officer of the Cevix Pardon and leads the boarding party. He, like the rest of Cevix's crew is looking for slaver blood. He is Togoran.
Like all Torgoran males, he lived apart from his mate and only daughter, with the nomadic hunting groups. The last time the family was together, they planned that the other would go, explore the galaxy. Four moths later, word reached him. The liner that they had been aboard had been taken by slavers. His mate had been killed, and his daughter taken. Mutar said goodbye his brothers, and has never looked back. For three years, he searched for her, until he finally found the slavers who held his daughter. She had been "conditioned" (mind-wiped) and sold to an Imperial pleasure house in the Colonies.
Mutar joined the Slave Underground, and helped Cevix and Murr to escape the CSA. During the time that Cevix spent helping the Underground, the two became closer than brothers, sharing their mutual tears and rage. Mutar, Cevix and Murr are the only survivors of a raid on the safehouse they were setting up. It was during this that they saved each other's lives. Since then, where Cevix and Murr are, Mutar is not far behind.
Mutar is abnormally tall for his species, 3.25 meters, and has jet black fur. His eyes are silver, and due to scares acquired fighting of liphons, his prominent fangs are always jutting over his lower lip. He wears a refinished chestplate of Stormtrooper armour, with a combat harness over it. He has been able to keep his beloved sc'rath during his adventures, which he keeps slung over his back. He places a small stud in the scabbard or baldaric for each pirate or slaver he has killed. There are well over three hundred studs there.
He is also very skilled with thrown knives. When action is imminent, he straps two to each calf, three to his thigh, one to each forearm, and several others to various points on his vest. For those persons who need a "little more" attention, he carries a blaster carbine, and a belt that holds a dozen grenades.
"Primate, I will say this only once: I am not a pirate. The next time you call me that, I will eat you for my next meal. I will not kill you first."
Mika Fianna is the Pardon's Rebel observer. A former resistance leader on his home world, the medics have forbidden Mika from serving in an active combat role, as he suffers from a rare heart condition. He is not pleased with this reassignement, but he is making the best of it. Mika was assigned to the Pardon on it's first tour with the Rebellion. He has been there ever since.
He did not get off to a good start. He made the error of refuring to the crew as a bunch of pirates in the prescence of Mutar. Fortuantely, Cevix and Murr were also in the mess room, or Mika might have requested an immediate transfer- that is, if they could have found enough of him to transfer. He still isn't totally sure if he trusts Mutar. ("He threatened to eat me!") He is the only person onboard who has never worn a slave collar, nor had an enslaved family member. He is very concsious of that fact, and has gone out of his way to use his access to the Rebellion to help to locate lost and missing family members.
Mika is a short, stocky human male, with thinning, grey hair, and bulging green eyes. He has a slightly sing-song accent, and rarely says three words when two will do. He recieved a crash course in evaluating starships for this mission, and is the butt of many jokes because of his relative ignorance about starship systems. He is also a constant worrier about anything having ot do with starship combat.
"Captain, are you sure that you want to do this? Two squadrons of TIEs is a lot."
All of the crew have either been slaves or have loved ones who have been sold into slavery. One of Cevix's odder requirements is that they all be trained in first aid. They are the usual mix of species, but there are a very low number of humans. That is not to say they are not welcome, it is just that there are very few humans who have worn slave collars.
