Fragments from the Rim
Chapter 5: Fragments From the Rim
The Good? Pirates
created by David A. Kanger
There were many run-ins with pirates- both benign and malignant. The
first contact with a main body of Pirates was with Tyrone Vido. Just after
stealing the new prototype B-Wing fighter from the Shantipole Project, Zaphod
Bebelbox fled to Waterworld to find a buyer. That led him on a wild goose
chase to the corrupt Imperial Garrison Commander, Cmdr. Fezz of the Stiker
System, a system heavily plagued by pirates and other riff-raff. Tyrone Vido
and Sir Reginald disguised themselves as pirates to go look for him. There,
they met up with the Dread Pirate Lucian Redbaird and his band of singing
pirates. Redbaird seemed to only prey on Imperial shipments, slavers and
other pirates. However, just for fun, he would engage an occasional Royalty
vessel. In all cases, Redbaird would make his victoms either tell him a joke
he's never heard before or walk the plank. If the victom knew a new joke,
then they would be bound-and-gagged and dumped off at the nearest planet
along with a load of garbage...otherwise, through the hatch! The only time
he didn't learn any jokes was when Tyrone Vido sent him out the airlock after
finding out Tyrone and Sir Reginald were fakes. However, Snootley saved him
before explosive decompression set in. He and Snootley were last seen on the
backwater planet, BFE-2, where Tyrone and Sir Reginald dumped them.
