Hello everyone,
I don't normally RP but in this case I feel it might add to the overall story of the 29th event with Salomé and co.
---- Back story on my character
All I ever wanted to be was a trader, taking goods from one station to another. my early days where spent in Lave where I made a small fortune trading electronic goods in my trusty Type-6. though this was to never last... being pirated over and over by a group that calls themselves the CODE made me wonder what I could do to beat back these pirates. I signed up with a group called AEDC a group that focused on diplomacy but had the odd skirmish with pirates, specifically CODE and that's the kind of revenge I wanted!
I spent my fortune I had built up to build a Cobra MK III that would hopefully allow me to get the revenge I wanted, fit with torpedo's and multi cannons I set out looking for CODE members. it wasn't long before I found what I was looking for, a CODE member in a Hauler!, I pulled around behind the target and began the interdiction, once we where both in normal space I proceeded to dependence multi cannon rounds all over the target, revenge was finally mine. But after getting a taste of the thrill of combat I wanted more.
Weeks later an AEDC hunting party was deployed to the Lave cluster, I joined in my Cobra to help anyway I could. we found out targets, we all dropped out into normal space and begin a massive dogfight. after from fierce fighting there was only one CODE ship left on the field and was a clear victory for us, an Imperial Clipper was our target. I launched by torpedoes as the shields dropped but the target Clipper was killed before the torpedoes hit and now where turning around, they had targeted our friendly Clipper who was confused by the missile lock warning. They where struck by my torpedoes and killed. My first friendly kill.
I eventually left AEDC to blaze my own trail or perhaps even join another group. I found myself helping out at community goals getting into small fights with the local pirates.
One night I was at a community goal checking CMDRs for any bounty I could find, finding plenty in the process, my credit balance we getting fairly big at just over 95 million, I was ready to buy my first Fer-De-Lance and use the big guns all the other big time bounty hunters where using, that's when a group known as the Smiling Dog Crew found me.

---- Events leading to 29th
Operation Slice the Salomi was one that would require a great deal of planning and preparation to pull off, below is how it was done.
Stage 1 - The message from the fleet
I was on some rock out in the middle of nowhere when I received a message, the message read "Salomé is being moved, there is 5 million in it for ya.", I replayed asking for details. I was notified the request came from higher up in the Empire. A power perhaps? Salomé did attempt to assassinate Denton. I let the CMDR know I would prepare and that I needed any Intel they could get me.
Stage 2 - Join the defense
This stage was a simple one, but to pull this off was going to take a great deal of skill and time, time was something I didn't have much of. The plan was to join the defense teams, get any Intel I could and most of all see if I could trick the defense teams in someway.
Over the course of a few weeks I was able to move higher up through the ranks and began ordering CMDRs that the best course of action for a successful defense was to leave weapons at home so that target identification could be simplified, I was not alone in this infiltration though I had some of my bounty hunter friends helping me push through these changes, giving examples of how leaving weapons at home would help and if they didn't how the entire operation could be disrupted with friendly fire and ultimately end in the death of Salomé, a chance none of the defense team wanted to take. it was desired that only handful of pilots would bring weapons to the fleets, all other ships where scouts or interdiction tasked with removing enemy ships from super cruse before they would even get close, the plan was solid, further I and my friends had managed to convince the entire fleet to disarm themselves.
Stage 3 - The 29th
This was the big day, my ship was ready. I knew the kind of ship configurations I would be going up against and was ready. I set out following any Intel I could get, Salomé was sighted throughout the day as I chased, I knew I was close now I just needed Salomé to slow down for what ever reason and I would have her. sure enough after a long chase across the stars I finally found CMDR Salomé in the Anumclaw system, once in range I pulled Salomé's Imperial Clipper to normal space where I proceeded to destroy and kill the terrorist CMDR Salomé once and for all.
Later that day I received a message, again from a unknown contact it read "You're service the the Empire has not gone unnoticed CMDR".

I hope it was a good read folks, first time doing any kind of real RP I guess.

but it all holds together. Shame that this post will be lost to the majority on these forums. Hopefully, at least Drew will read it so he can flesh out your character in the book.
