29 Jun 2020Hurkadurkaa
Commander Bellator ab Hurk walked into the shipyard at i Sola Prospect. After three days, his new Krait MK.II had finally been completely outfitted based on his desired specifications, forging this vessel into a one-of-a-kind combat ship. A planetary outpost in the Brestla system, i Sola Prospect was the only station in the Empire, and one of three in the entire galaxy, which had all of the modules and components needed to construct and modify a Krait MK.II to Commander Bellator ab Hurk's design, which meant he was forced to be patient while the engineers worked. It has been a long three days.A new Initiate to Lavigny's Legion, Commander Bellator ab Hurk had been sidelined from the War on Mundine since his old Imperial Courier had taken extensive damage during a bounty hunting operation. Barely able to return to Marker Depot alive, Commander Bellator ab Hurk knew it was time for an upgrade. He had been designing a new combat ship to fit his needs since joining the Legion, and after securing the funds for said vessel, he finally was able to see his ideas become reality. With the majority of the Legion, including many fellow Initiates, in Mundine fighting for the Emperor and Empire, the novice combatant wanted to prove he had the skills to be a great pilot.
Commander Bellator ab Hurk entered the shipyard as the mechanics were putting the finishing touches on the cosmetic options he had selected; the scent of fresh paint filled the hangar and immediately rushed into the corridor behind the ship's owner. Commander Bellator ab Hurk watched as the crew finished, helmet in hand, awaiting permission to board. A few minutes later, the foreman walked over with a tablet and the control codes for the ship. He handed the Initiate the tablet, various shades of blue paint covering his hands, and pointed to the dotted line which had to be signed. Once done, he took the tablet back and handed over the control codes, his team leaving the hanger as the ship's new pilot entered.
As soon as Commander Bellator ab Hurk entered the cockpit, the communications tab light up with a new message from Lavigny's Legion: the War on Mundine was over, with the Legion victorious. The Initiate had missed the entire campaign.
"Well, ----."
