Personal History: The Dolorous Shoals have always been a rough place, a stain on a otherwise bright galaxy. On top of the usual pirate groups, it was a place of mercenaries, a place where Assassins could be found and bought easily, a place where a smuggler would offer their ship and their services to the highest bidder. The Shoals are a small part of the galaxy where most of the planets in the system are so heavily urbanized that surplus populations have to live in orbiting space stations, giant floating cities in space where the laws are as loose as the women, pirates controlled these space stations and planets with an iron fist, acting more like crime families than pirates. Often times smuggling things such as slaves,narcotics,and weapons to anyone who would pay for them, extorting businesses and trade conglomerates either by threats of force or taking hostages, and of course stealing ships to add to their groups, these were common things among the pirate way of life in the Shoals.
One man dared to change that, he pulled himself from the gutter of one of these planets and worked his way up until he was the leader of a pirate group known as the Lords of Ruin. This man was Kain Havarr, Kain was a highly intelligent man who relied on daring he dared to question why the other groups weren't doing more, he saw that combined they would be a nigh unstoppable and that's what he did. He gathered his men and turned on a few pirate groups taking them over and replacing them with his own leaders, other pirate groups joined willingly and so thus their leaders weren't replaced. His dream was a group of pirates that could rival the techno-barbarians in way of technology, and the Valyrians in ways of strength.
Eventually Kain had a group of pirates ready to follow him into the gates of hell comprised of over six different human and non human pirate groups, an empire ready to take over the rest of the Shoals and conquer the rest of the galaxy. But Kain at this time set his eyes on conquering someone else, his eyes fell on the wife of another pirate captain and the two began a affair in secret. Every moment he had alone was spent with the woman, eventually the result of said affair was Kain's first son Logan, born in the med-bay of Kain's flagship.
As soon as the boy was old enough Kain had the boy taught things he would need, training with weapons and hand to hand combat, the use of ships and how to properly command them, tactics, and basic politics so eventually the boy could take over as Kain's heir to the empire that would span the stars. As years went on Kain spent more time with Logan's mother and sired 4 more childeren from her, and six more from various other women bringing Logan's family up to Eleven. And as they grew older all of them were ready to fight for their father even if it meant their deaths.
At age 14 Logan was put in charge of his first ship a frigate, Logan hated it he craved speed and adrenaline. He spoke to his father about this and his father introduced him to a old man named Red, a fighter ace and small craft pilot who was considered the best fighter pilot in the entire Shoals system. Red agreed to teach the boy and so they started with heavier small craft Logan first learned to fly bombers and shuttle craft which bored him to tears but helped prepare him for what he really wanted to fly. The starfighter. The speed, the power, all in one little craft gave Logan the adventure and rush he was looking for and he quickly mastered the craft in time for his first battle against a group of pirates who resisted Kain's rule. It was at this battle that Logan proved his skills to the group and most of all his father, he gained Ace status in his first battle shooting down seven enemy star fighters and destroying an enemy cruiser. This earned him the nickname "Child Warrior" among the other pilots and the name stuck for sometime.
Years went by and eventually Kain managed to reunite the Shoals under his banner. The way he did it and the way he treated the population made Kain a hero to most of the system, but he was more-so a hero to his children who revered him like he was a god. And just like Logan as they grew older they were given ships of their own to command while the younger ones stayed with Kain on his flagship. With his children at his side and a massive systems worth of pirates at his back Kain set his sights on the Valyrians. He waited for the perfect oppertunity and it came in the form of the Arcturian Jihad taking advantage of this Kain and his fleet set out and took both sides by surprise attacking planets with a minimal fleet presence and plundering their resources and taking slaves.
Neither side were prepared for the Dolorians, so they won many victories even though they were small victories and were barely worth noticing to both of the bigger groups, during one raid on the Arcturian's Logan lost one of his siblings their ship being destroyed and this drove Kain into grief and fury, he turned his fleet on the Arcturians and began to attack just them taking out small fleets and planets which in many ways managed to help the Valyrians turn the war around with the Arcturians unable to call on these small fleets for reinforcements.
As the war calmed and stuck with a battered fleet ready to go home, Kain was ready to go home so as they were about to turn and head home the Valyrians showed up and turned their attention on the pirates who had been plundering them for so long, and to top it all off the husband of Logan's mother betrayed the group and started attacking the Lords of Ruin and their ships. With his betrayal the battle of Novgorod begun, Novgorod was a worthless hunk of frozen rock in the furthest reaches of Valyrian space, a tundra planet with a population of 15,000 at it's peak, and now it was experiencing a battle in it's orbit. Logan and a fighter wing placed in his command tried their hardest to turn the tides but eventually they were worn down until it was just Logan, who was being chased by a group of fighters towards the surface of Novgorod he twisted and turned trying to escape them but eventually the Valyrian fighters took him down and he crash landed on the surface.
It was here where all he could do for the battle was watch, watch as his brothers and sisters went down around their father, watch as some of the pirate ships fled the battle returning back to the shoals, watch as his father stood his ground and ultimately watch the Flagship turn into a fireball. Eventually as the battle of Novgorod wore down to a close the Valyrian's sent down marines to hunt down any pirates who had landed on the planet to fleet their justice, there they found Logan and took him prisoner.
Back in the Shoals Kain became a legend and hero to many, others saw him as the devil who ruined years of work. But it was due to Kain's power over the Shoals that caused many within the Valyrian chain of command to debate his sentence, this led to public discussions on the net and eventually it was decided that having a son of Kain help them if they ever decided to lay claim to the Shoals would be beneficial to them. So they would fake Logan's execution so he could fade away from the public's mind who at this point were calling him "the Prince of Pirates" They took the traitor and every pirate under his command and executed them first, then they let Logan rot in prison while there they assessed if he would be a threat to them or not, and if he could be loyal to the monarchy. They also rehearsed how he would act on his execution and with all of that information they made Logan wait.
It wasn't until shortly after his 25th birthday that they withdrew him from prison for a public "execution" they gave the firing squad blanks and all he had to do was fall over when they fired and remain still, so that's exactly what he did they fired and he fell over faking his death, after his death they changed his last name and turned his hair a light blonde so he wouldn't be as easily recognized, there they tested his loyalty further and when he proved himself to be absolutely loyal they transferred him into the Battlegroup Eplison where only the Commodore and the captain of the vessel he's stationed on know his true identity, it was here where the Valyrians gave him a new starfighter and watched him just in case he did turn on them they would be ready to kill him. Knowing this and wanting to stay alive Logan serves dutifully as much as it pains him to do it.
IC Sample:Logan took a look at the small naval battle going on around him, these pirates were trying their hardest to stall the fleet. Before he could ask why they would be stalling them the face of his AI appeared in the HUD of his helmet, "It appears you are accelerating incredibly quickly, if you keep up this pace you will be out of the range of the fleet i suggest you slow down so you can have support." She said, Logan just scoffed. "We'll be fine we got the torpedoes to back us up."
"The odds of survival are thirty-two point th-"
"Shut up, blasted machine." Logan chuckled and applied more thrust to his afterburners managing to catch up with one of the pirate cruisers who opened up on him as soon as they sighted his fighter-bomber, but with great skill he managed to weave through the bulk of the anti-fighter craft fire and drop his ordinance which connected with the bridge knocking out the entire command bridge. His Ai showed him a feed from the rear cameras of his hit on his helmet HUD. The blast had impacted the bridge and destroyed the view port sucking a few who weren't buckled down properly out into the void of space, the AI showed him the steel shutters slamming into place before cutting the feed. "I suggest you return back to the fleet now." The Ai said, her tone of voice having bits of anger and concern directed at her pilot. "Alright, alright." Logan said and turned the craft around.
As Logan flew over the the damaged cruiser they opened up once again heavily damaging one of his wings. "Left wing integrity at 34 percent." His AI said, but Logan ignored her instead focusing on flying his craft straight. As he kept going his craft kept shaking and bucking as the right wing tried to pick up the slack of the left one but failed in doing so, the landing was going to be rough so Logan got on the radio with the hangar. "Ladies and gentlemen i am coming in hot, might want to clear me a little bit of space just in case." A reply came over the radio. "Roger that Blackbird, we got yah." Was all it said. Logan adjusted his speed and his pitch so he could land better as he entered the hangar but all the shaking threw him off and his landing sent him skidding across the hangar, fighting with the controls Logan managed to regain control of his craft just short of hitting the far wall. "Very well done Logan." His Ai said, and sent a image of a smiling face to that of his HUD. "Thanks." Was all he said as he lifted the canopy and exited the craft.

Ship Name:The Archangel Fighter-Bomber
Ship Type:Fighter-Bomber
Semi-Sentience Profile:The Ship has an AI that helps with things like an extra set of hands on the controls or taking over the rear cannons when it's being chased. Logan's AI is simply known as the silver lady, due to her taking the appearance of a pale skinned woman with Silver Hair and clothing. She does not act like most of the larger ship AI instead being confined to the systems of the fighter and Logan's helmet hud. As for behavior, she cares for Logan which is an odd behavior for an AI which has caused some to question if she is defective or not, but she also gives the usual advice, tactical data, and all around pushiness of most AI who know what they are talking about.
Escort Ships:N/a
Ship Details/History: - The Archangel Fighter-Bomber is the ultimate pinnacle of Valyrian engineering, it's a durable craft that is capable of taking hits and dealing them as well, the fuselage is in the belly of the beast and reinforced heavily so it won't endanger the pilot. It's a heavily armored fighter all around which sacrifices some of it's speed but it's still an agile attack craft.
It is equipped with two twin cannon systems one is under the nose of the craft, the other one is in the rear underneath the pilots canopy that is either controlled by a co-pilot in the older versions or the fighters AI in the newer versions. The cannons fire heavy shredder rounds that contain miniature flechettes that act like flak rounds to fighter craft shredding wings and equipment with precision.
The Archangel is also fit with a missile rack under it's wings. It can either fit a rack of 8 scorpion anti-fighter missiles under each wing, that are capable of laser guidance or lock on capabilities, it can also fit 4 torpedoes under each wing that are capable of dealing with larger craft and causing substantial damage to the hull, it can fit 3 "Mole" torpedoes that dig through ship hulls and detonate either upon pilot/AI command or detonate when it chews through an significant amount of hull, or in the case of last resort the archangel can be fitted with two low yield tactical warheads for that extra bang, but it's only used as a last resort because most of the time the attack craft can't escape the emp yield of the warhead in time.
