IC: Abigail Grim
Location: Mon Calamari Shipyards, Section 128, Berth 42.
"What are your orders, Captain?"
She smiled at the quirky engineer. "Scotty, I know you don't like shipyard mechanics, but they'll get her space worthy. Then you can get her Battle worthy. Our first stop will be Nar Shaddaa, Shug owes me a favor and I intend to collect."
She clapped Scotty on the shoulder in reassurance.
She headed back to the group, and noticed a new face had arrived. He was a man of average hight, muscular, with spiked hair.
"Who is in charge around here?"
Oh... he is going to make things interesting. She could sense a very disciplined if intense mind lurking inside his head. Twenty credits says hes a Mandalorian.
"I am."
She waited for him to turn around.
"Abigail Grim."
She extended her hand to him.
"And you are?"

Biography:
Before Drake Antares entered the Imp. SpecOps division he was an exemplary officer. He graduated from the Academy at Carida at the top of his class with the hopes of serving Lord Vader on his flagship, the Executor. Drake was a strong believer in justice and he readily despised the old Republic for all its backdoor politics. He recognized Palpatine as a power hungry tyrant but decided that strict militaristic discipline was better then selling the galaxy to huge corporations like the Trade Federation. His father was an Imperial Guard and his mother was an Intelligence Officer working as a liaison between Alderaan and Imperial Intelligence. She was killed when the planet exploded, she was off-world on a space platform and a chunk of the planet destroyed it. His father disappeared shortly after with no word from anyone. Drake never knew how his parents died because he was already in a prep course on Cal-Seti for the Academy. After he graduated the Academy a shady Intelligence officer approached him with an opportunity to serve the Empire in a greater way and a chance to avenge his parents who were killed by Rebels. Not knowing the true fate of his parents he angrily accepted and was whisked away to a secret planet for training.
His training consisted of days of starvation and isolation followed by frantic, bloody fights with beast races like Barabels, Bothans and Flakax. He didn’t see anyone else in this phase of the training but he fought and killed dozens of sentient beings. That continued for 2 months before he was transferred to an unknown planet. He was sequestered with eleven other humans who would become his squad mates. They were given hormone enhancing drugs, hypnosis therapy and gene treatments to make them heal faster, hate stronger and be more aggressive. As their therapy finished it was augmented with intense combat training 27 hours out of a 30 hour day with 4 days of training and a single day of rest. Half-way through the training he was brought a women, each member of the squad was, and they were forced to live together and eventually form a bond. Graduation day they had to kill their significant other with their bare hands. When they finished the Imperials had turned them into controllable psychopaths. After several missions Antares finally found out what happened to his parents. When his team cleared out a Rebel base on Taanab they were ambushed by Stormtroopers from the local Moff. Antares and the Moff were the only ones to make it out alive and Antares captured the Moff, torturing him for two weeks before killing him. After the torture he discovered the orders had come from Vader himself and his team wasn’t the only one slaughtered. All over the Empire their elite units were killed to prevent them from defecting to the Rebellion once they learned their brainwashing wasn’t fool-proof.
After escaping the Empire and faking his death Antares had learned to control himself. While he no longer openly hated non-humans he did not associate with them. He did not associate with anyone because he believed himself a sociopath. Every few months he must go back to Cal-Seti, to his parent’s home and find his center. He tries to peel back the emotion damage and aggressive therapy that the Empire forces into him. He learned he needed to do this when he was on a simple bouncer job and he beat a drunken Wookie to death without realizing it. He kept hitting and hitting, keeping the Wookie on his feet long after the Wookie lost consciousness. He hooked up with a Mandalorian fixer he met on Mandalore through his travels named Goran Bevin and Bevin shot him odd jobs and eventually the BackStab job came to him.

IC:
Conference Room
Drake Antares
Drake Antares sat on his bunk with his elbows resting on his knees, exploring the finer points of the hull plating on the floor. Their was another bed across the room but he was not sure if he would a bunk mate. He hoped this job would go better than the last one Goran had arranged. He had been working as a temp mechanic on the Taanab Sunrise when pirates attacked them. They managed to board the small freighter but that was the last mistake they ever made.
This will be different though. Drake thought to himself. I am not going to lose control this time.
Drake took a deep breath and slowly rose to he feet, scratching the bulkhead above him as he stretched his arms. It was time to meet the Captain.
As he made his way towards the conference room he noted the ship reminded him of the Night Caller, an assault corvette that was modified to carry 4 TIE fighters. Drake keyed the door for the conference room and entered behind a Mandalorian.
Upon seeing the Captain Drake Antares snapped to attention as his military training kicked in.
"Drake Antares reporting for duty Captain." Drake said,saluting.

IC: Jeru Sheedo
Location: Location: Mon Calamari Shipyards, Section 128, Berth 42
Everywhere we went, everywhere he turned he was surrounded by aliens on this beautiful planet. He knew it was too far out for any real human colonies to settle here but he thought they should of. The light above the intersection turned green and Jeru Sheedo twisted the throttle of his speeder bike taking off down one of the main roads on Mon Calamari. He had packed everything he owned with him. His spare clothes, his battle armor and of course his weapons. He also had a few personal items which he cherished the most but he tried to keep those hidden from anybody else. He sped up passing through an intersection as the light turned red but he kept going. He knew he was already late for the meeting but he didn't care much. He was done with being to places on time. Jeru got tired of it in the military and decided after he left that from here on out it was one his own time that he'd do what needed to be done.
The wind from moving foward brushed through his slick, short black hair and he had a grin from ear to ear. His eyes were covered by his sun glasses which provided a HUD allowing him to make perfect time but timing the stop lights along the road he traveled. He wore black atheltic shoes and black pants with a red top on and no helmet. His ruck sack on his back, sitting on the passenger seat behind him on the speeder bike, filled with his equipment. He also had another bag tied down to the back of the bike which held some more of his personal items. It wasn't too long before he arrived at the shipyard on Mon Calamari. He checked in with the main gate guard and was ushered right through. The alien gave him some quick directions on how to get to his destination where the Backstab and most certainly the rest of the crew were already congregating already. As he drove up to he quickly recongized Abigail Grim's vessel from the description he was given after he had inquired about one of the commando positions. Jeru pulled his speeder right next to the vessel where he same some other equipment layed out. He parked the bike and hopped off.
Jeru took a moment to admire the modified Coriellian Corvette. Once they where operational, he probably wouldn't have much time to get to examine the outter hull so this was just about as good as any time he could think of to check it out briefly. Jeru made note to himself and had his HUD download the skematics of the ship. He wanted to know where all the enter and exit ports were and also just recieve the basic outlay of the vessel. He went back to his bike making sure his gear was secure. Jeru was satifised with it and proceeded to enter the Backstab. Without any prior knowledge of the interior design of the ship, Jeru surpisingly found the conference room where everyone was at fairly easy. He tapped the door open and with a whoosh, the blast door slide open. Jeru came in behind a some guy demanding to know who was in charge and a cherry looking kid rendering a salute for Captain Grim. It took a lot of self control to not bust out laughing but the smirk on the Jeru's face said it all. Jeru instead of standing there looking like a complete fool decided to go around the two and take a seat at the table. He took a look in everyone's eyes, trying to peer into their soul, looking for what type of character they had. They all seemed fairly compitent and confident, looking like the usual type of scum that become pirates of the galaxy. Jeru would have no problem fitting in. Although these people seemed real friendly and this former Imperial trooper didn't like to say much. He decided to say something though, at least his name.
"My name is Jeru Sheedo." He said calmly. "Just call me Sheed. How is everyone feeling today?"
Jeru sat back in his chair but not arrogantly. He only sat with respect for the people around his and he tried not to underestimate anyone.

IC: Sillian - Backstab Conference Room
Sillian entered the conference room, keeping out of site due to his size, he left a note in Abigail's hand 'Sorry i was so long, bladder needed emptying' he kept unnoticed until the Jedi sensed him as new amung the throng. Seeing this, Sillian hustled toward the cockpit, and began cutting a hole through the controll board, moving wires out of the way when nessecary and adding new ones for increased activity, then he inserted his trademark Tensor Rifle slot into the board infront of him, and placed his Tensor Rifle in there, readying his lightknife incase that Jedi followed. As strangers went, Jedi were the best, they werent going to attack or mock you unless majourly provoked, but he kept his wiles about him. He then heard footsteps behind him as the swoosh of the door occured twice.

IC: Gerrik Thade
Gerrik watched as one by one everyone filed in. He then decided to walk over to Abigail. "I assure you I have no intention of being a missionary for the Jedi Order. Thats not my style. Anyway I'll do my best to stay out of your way." he said. "By the way, I'm looking forward to our first mission." he added looking over his shoulder as he exited. He could tell that Abigail wasn't to glad he was there but refused to let it effect his duties. He then decided to check out the interior of the BackStab. He walked through the entrance and saw the Squib hard at work on something. "Hey, watcha doing there?" Gerrik asked the blue furred being in front of him as the door hissed closed behind him.

IC: Sillian - Cockpit with Gerrik
Sillian turned to the voice, his snout poking out from behind the seat, he spoke "I am the ships pilot, modifiying the controlls and sytems for this new ship and attempting to keep away from people, i see that worked well. I shall need to install a lock on that door, too" he stood up, realising that the figure was the Jedi, he let his guard down slightly. Still being cautious, he spoke directly to him "Why is a Jedi here, i dont trust anyone, but unlike most who dont trust anyone, i trust Jedi most. Even through the consperiacy theories" Sillian then started rubbing his fur against the console and other parts of the ship, attmepting to build up the daring and 'natural' curiosity to rub his fur on the Jedi "wahts your name?" he asked instead "Im sillian, and as i said, im the ships pilot".

She had gotten every one settled into the BackStab's Conference room. She chuckled to herself a bit, Skywalker had once called her acquaintances a retched hive of scum and villainy. She looked around at them all. Maybe Skywalker wasn't to far off.
"I have just learned that the BackStab is almost done, with only an Engine over hall left. Scotty I have made it known that you are in charge, Go make sure they stay in line."
"Ok people, here is how this is going down. I invited each of you here because your the best of those that applied.
Drake Antares, Migalia Bitalio, Jeru Sheedo, and Phenix Grand, all of you will each have command of a four man commando team. You can work together or independently of the other teams unless specifically ordered to do so.
Dresden Karn..." She motioned to the man. "is going to be the overall Commander of the commados. He's in charge of the teams."
She looks at Gerrik. "Jedi Thade, is our Republic observer, Braks Munto is a hot hand in a shuttle. He will be doing various shuttle oriented jobs as well as advance recon if possible. He probably has more experience than all of you together so pay attention."
She introduced Sillian next. "Sillian is the main helms man for the BackStab and also the quartermaster. If he can't find it for you it doesn't exist."
She looked at them all.
"Any questions?"

Drake Antares BackStab Conference Room
Drake listened intently while leaning against the wall farthest from the Captain, farthest from the attention. He shifted uncomfortably as the pilot was mentioned. A Squib. He was no bigoted Imperial but old habits died hard.
"So, your all dressed up with the best and brightest of the bottom of the barrel and no where to go. I assume your not paying for the pleasure of our company so whats the target?" Antares asked.
He had been hired enough times to know that you didnt waste the resources it would take to acquire these people for nothing.

Dresden Karn/ Kuat shipyards/ Conference Room
Dresden Karn..." She motioned to the man. "is going to be the overall Commander of the commandos. He's in charge of the teams."
At the remark Dresden gave a simple wave to the rest of the crew that sat around the table. Head of the commandos, not an easy task, anyone of these men could have filled it and done an equally better job, but Dresden was glad that he had been picked. Dresden then looked down to his right arm, the sleeve had risen up and now showed a tattoo of two swords that crossed behind a skull, the skull had the emblem of the Galactic Empire upon its forehead. this tattoo was the insignia of the Phantoms, the emperors specialized black ops team, just one of the many fingers on the emperors long reaching hand. Dresden quickly covered up the tattoo, not so much to hide it from the other crew members but more from himself, the tattoo brought back bad memories best left buried.
Dresden then came back to the real world and continued to listen to the captain.
"Any questions?" asked Abigail
“No ma’am,” said Dresden bluntly. but his attention was soon drawn to a man on the far side of the room named Drake Anteres.
"So, your all dressed up with the best and brightest of the bottom of the barrel and no where to go. I assume your not paying for the pleasure of our company so whats the target?"
This remark caught Dresden by surprise. it was strange, the man was obviously ex-imp, Dresden could tell, one of his many skills, reading peoples backgrounds. The one detail about the man that stood out to Dresden was his military discipline, he still looked and walked like an imp, even though it was obvious he gave that up a long tome ago. Even Dresden wasn't as disciplined as Drake, he had gotten out of that routine a long time ago. But habits like that die away harder for different soldiers, it differs for each soldier. there are those who shake it easy and then there are those who stick by it for the rest of their lives, drake looked like one of those soldiers. Dresden simply took in the mans words and then began to spin a little in the chair he was sitting in. this Drake fella was going to be a challenge to break in.

She locked her eyes onto him like a targeting computer.
"Mr. Antares, has a valid point. I didn't gather you all together just to shoot the Sith. We don't have a target so much as we have a mission.
I intend to harass Imperial shipping, raid Imperial warehouses, and generally become a pain in their backside. Fifty percent of what we take goes to the Republic, with the rest being split up amongst the crew. That means that the better we do the more we make."
She looked around for any more questions.
"If thats all please find yourselves a bunk. We leave inside the day."

OOC: BobaMatt - calling the greatest engineer in the galaxy a 'mechanic'? Oi vey!
IC - Scotty
"Scotty, I know you don't like shipyard mechanics, but they'll get her space worthy. Then you can get her Battle worthy. Our first stop will be Nar Shaddaa, Shug owes me a favor and I intend to collect."
Abi turned back to the others and Scotty reluctantly turned back to the Backstab. Those 'mechanics' were nothing but little children playing with precision instruments and tools as though they had no clue what they were for. Scotty would trust a first-day trainee with a plasteel leg and a small, furry bipedal primate with a rusty hydrospanner before he'd trust one of these spacedock lunatics.
After all, no one in spacedock had to actually fly in the Backstab - they all went to their quarters to resume their pathetic lives while Abi and the others would actually live in the ship and need it to be better than 'space worthy'. Spacedock workers never had a clue.
So, it was up to him to make sure nothing got broken so the ship would hold together long enough to make it to Nar Shaddaa. The only good thing about that slime pit was that there were always good, solid bargain parts for sale, if you had an engineer along who knew what a true bargain was and not just spacedust masquarading as a part.
As he trudged back to the ship, he silently wished for a transporter before shaking his head in wonder as to what exactly a 'transporter' was.

IC: Chase Conrad III
Engine Room on board the BackStab.
The engine room was full of Shipyard employees. Most of the senior Mechanics were standing around talking while the rookies did the work. Chase Conrad III was one such rookie. He shook his head in disgust at the others. Unlike them he took pride in his work and if any of it fell into what they said was the acceptable range he would personally cycle himself out the nearest airlock.
He was head first in a engine hatch disconnecting a jury rigged power cupling and flux valve that looked like a rod on a hollow semi-sphere. He started to pull himself out of the hatch.
"What is this? A Plastoid Ice Cream scoop?" His voice trailed off as he came Eye to eye with a stern looking man that he didn't know.
"Uhh... Hi?"

Drake Antares
Conference Room
Drake nodded, though he was far from happy. In his experience missions with vague criteria usually got people killed. The problem with broad mission specs were they didn't know what they'd be getting into. Hard to plan for things you didn't know about.
"Thanks, Bevin...amateurs." Drake mumbled as walked out of the conference room.
He had a few things to unpack and was still unsure if he had a bunkmate. Based on the crew he had seen he was a little anxious about it too.
