Adm. Renegade is 43 years old, born on the planet-Earth, species-Human. Home world is still planet Earth but keeps a residence on Byss, as a retreat when duties permit.

Renegade served 21 years in the service of his planet's Defense forces, the U S Navy, and was medically retired after a severe crash of a rotory-wing craft. Adm. Renegade lost both legs and partial use of one arm in the accident.

He went through rehab successfully and applied to join the Imperial Navy and took his flight training in several sectors of the galaxy, having served with distinction in his duties, he applied to join the new Emperor's Hammer Strike Wing that the Emperor formed to rid the Empire of the Emperor's enemies. Adm. Renegade does not let his disablity stand in the way of his duties as an Imperial Naval Officer, and he prefers to think of himself as , not disabled but slowed down.

Adm. Renegade entered the Hammer as a General and started out as a Flight Member of Delta-3, was promoted to Flight Leader of Lambda-3, then to Squadron Commander of Phi squadron. Later to become the CMDR of Iota squadron then promoted to the Position of the EH's XO.

Upon the death of his wife, GN FoxyRoxy\EH Medical officer, Phi squadron was switched with Iota Squadron and placed aboard the TFC Roxanna, named in honor of his wife who gave her life and became the first MoH [Medal of Honor] recipient of the EH, in a rescue of Adm. Renegade who was wounded in battle.

Adm. Renegade served his squadron with honor, and was promoted to the position of Executive Officer of The Emperor's Hammer Strike Wing for his contributions to the Emperor's Hammer. After being listed as Missing-in-Action for two months, Adm. Renegade, rejoined the Fleet and assumed the duties of COM of the IW on board the CRS Despot.

Having to retire from active service he then became the COM of MPLT-FAC Haven who's missions is to train pilots of the IW and supply the Fleet with consumables.

FA Renegade was just recently promoted to the position of the First Moff of the EH and will govern the Phare system.

Adm. Renegade's home life consists of his 2 daughters who are execellent pilots assigned to the DB's Tau squadron, 3 step-daughters, a grandson, his cat and Goldfish. His hobbies include computers, Reading, Stock-car Racing and he loves to fly his Tie Defender during his duty hours.

He has a BA degree in Psychology and is a California State Certified Substance Abuse counselor.

He is The Emperor's Reach of the secret order, and is a Dark Adept in the Dark Brotherhood. He is cleared to view ALL classified material, and has the highest security rating in the Imp. Navy.

This officer is a credit to the Emperor, the Imperial Navy and to the Hammer Strike Wing. The ISB feels that Grand Admiral Ronin made a wise choice in his placement of Adm. Renegade in his present duties.

Adm. Renegade has been wounded in battle 3 times, Two times when he was serving as a member of his Planetary Defense Forces, and once as a Pilot in the Hammer. He has several medals for bravery under fire, he served in Sea-Air Rescue and was awarded for Bronze Star for the rescue of 7 pilots, during the Earth's war against the Communists from the Vietnam sector. He also served in operation Desert Storm, where he was injured in a crash of a Helocopter.

Medals earned in the EH are the: MoH, MoI-gc, MoT--5rh & 5gh, and has won every battle ribbon of the EH.

Further details of Adm. Renegades background are classified on a need to know basis.

SUBJ: Pacification of Planet Ullyr, Operation--Subdue.

Ullyr is one of three inhabitable worlds in the Phare System singled out for primary

colonization by the Empire. Ullyr's vast expanses of primeval forests and abundant wildlife

prompted early colonization/development by several competing corporations.

The planets 3 main continents are almost entirely covered by primeval forests. The

vegetation is reminiscent of that found on the Wookie Homeworld of Kashyyyk on the

forest moon of Endor. The trees have been known to reach heights of 1/2 a kilometer in

height and a hundred meters diameter! As with most forest worlds, native life is stratified

in the various levels of the forests. The larger predatory and scavenger creatures roam the

forest floor, with smaller forms of life present as the aboreal column rises. At the top of

the forest canopy are many primate and avian species (no native sentients) present. Food is

plentiful and the planet is a rich source of strong and ancient woods.

The Wookies were originally brought to Ullyr about 30 years ago when the Phare System

was first identified and colonized by the Corporate Sector Authority (CSA). Three million

Wookies were initially transported to Ullyr as slave labor for the wood industry for the

CSA. Only 1,500,000 remained alive at the time of the Battle of Endor and they have

reverted to a primitive feudal/clan system to maintain some semblance of civilization. Most

of the Wookies planetside were born on Ullyr and consider it their home, not unlike

Kashyyyk, their homeworld. Some of the Wookie Elders still remember Kashyyyk.

Following Endor six months ago, the Imperial Corporations, garrisons and Fleets left the

planet to its own devices and the Wookies found themselves stranded planetside.

Consequently, they have had to make a life on their own, but without industrial re-supply,

they are quickly reverting to babarism and anarchy. The remaining humans, their former

masters and owners, are kept as prisoners of the Wookies or in a few of the more savage

clans, as food. To date, the Imperials have not returned for these poor souls and their

survival is questionable at best. (Taken from the EH Systems Manual, GARonin@aol.com, 1996)

The terrain is mostly forest and reminiscent of the ground battle on Endor. Attacking forces will have to deal with being in unfamilar territory while the enemy knows the lay of the land and can use it against an attacking force

Most of the Wookies were born there and will fight for their homeland. They have had 30 years to plan and they will be protecting their freedom.

Wookie settlements are scattered all over the planet.

We won't be sure of what types of weapons the Wookies will use.

Imperial Technology and training is no match for semi-primitive or a pre-industrial society, but never underestimate your opponent.

Hey--GA, Can I have some more medals? My ID line isn't long enough

By Moff/FA "Pappy" Renegade/Phare

"Adm. Renegade is on the bridge, set all codes to his command," cried out a very young but enthustatic Ens. Jarry, the MPLT-FAC Haven's Operations Officer. " LG Dactyl is at the Sovereign on business, and LG Hickel is in COMM checking fleet orders. Ruby and Diamond squadrons are carrying out your special orders, Sir, Emerald is sitting at the coordinates you up-linked to them," giggled the Ens. being privy to what "Pappy" had planned.

"Thank you, Ens.. We will soon find out if my little party turns out to be a success or not. Don't get too near COMM with your young virgin ears, the language coming out of the ether is not going to be very nice."

"Hickel, good morning, since you are in COMM already, please hit Button-4, I believe that is the Renegade's ops channel today. I want their Ops and Command channels piped up here and to the rest of the Haven."

" Open Button-2,--- Garrett and Chirpa, wait until you are several K's from the ship, Antilles, just run your Nav program. Good luck men.

"Aye Aye, Sir," courused the Haven's CMDR's almost as one voice.

"COMM, send 99Haven squads. Execute Operation Sham-now."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

" THIS IS RA WAXER TO ALL HANDS, STAY ON YOUR TOES, WE CAN'T REACH THE HAVEN. EAGLE WILL LAUNCH IMMEDIATELY, HYPER OVER TO THE HAVEN AND SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING."

"Let me know when Eagle reaches the Haven."

"Aye aye sir, it will take about 20 minutes for them to get there."

"Adm. Waxer, sensors report that we have X-w's dropping out of hyper-space. they are classified as Bogie Alpha. No IFF codes upon inquiry."

" Launch Raven to intercept them. Put Vulture and Condor on 5 minute alert."

"Bogies-classified as Beta jumping in, wait, Alpha just jumped out, there goes Beta, Charlie flight coming in and making attack runs. Charlie just jumped out and I think Delta is jumping in, or is it Alpha coming back. Ah, Sir, I am confused, there are ships jumping in and out."

"What's their coordinates and type of ships."

"Ah, Sir, I can't lock them down. They are coming in and jumping out too fast. Still no IFF codes. They run up and paint us with their missiles but they haven't fired yet. Condor and Vulture are launching. Raven is having a hard time attacking them. They fade in and out all over space. I count about 10 to 30 FG's , it is hard to get a count. They are Alphabet fighters."

"Hit Button-1 Priority Red-1 message to the Haven. I have this figured out."

"Haven, This is COM-IW, I know you are listening, my complements to FA Renegade and ask him to recall his &%$# squadrons right now. Very funny Pappy. Next time let me know when you are going to conduct training exercises against us."

"What's the matter, Wax, ole buddy. You awake over there now. I see you finally figured out what was going on. I see you learned your lessons when you were in Iota. I tried to teach this hIT-AND fADE tactic to you when we were both over there. Besides my boys needed training in this type of Hit-and Run tactic."

" Yessir, Are we still on for lunch, my place or yours?"

This tactic will work against Capital ships, with some careful planning. Before each mission using this tactic--a special Nav Comp. program must be up-loaded to either your Astro-mechs or your Nav Comp.

A squadron using this will seem like it is several squadrons, as the enemy can't track you long enough to lock their turbo-lasers on you, or you can jump out of danger if the enemy fighters are closing in.

It is my very sad duty to report that a colleague and fellow pilot has died, he was in Shadow squadron\MFRG Insidious\IW

He was FL\GN Photon (Photon1044), no he didn't die in the line of duty, he wasn't blasted by a rebel laser, or greased by a missile.

No, He took his OWN life, more than 100 aspirins, that is how he died. That is the How, now for the Why.

"Larry" lived in a home for sexually and physically abused boys, he was repeateatly raped by his 2 uncles over a period of 5 years, he was only 10 years old.

The boy died in my arms, I am a part-time counselor at this home, I have a BA in Psychology. Larry and the other 7 boys of this home are the Pilots of Ruby squadron\MPLT-FAC Haven. 8 boys used the same screen name, now there are only 7 left.

I donated my TIE and X-wingCD programs for them to play and as a way for me as a counselor to get closer to them.

These boys don't really trust anybody because the way that strangers and even loved ones treated them. I managed and am managing to get closer to these boys and gain some trust by teaching them to play and having fun doing it.

Larry was one of my best pupils. I thought I was getting closer to him and he was dealing with his molestation. Not true, I guess it was more that he could handle.

I am pissed off about it, that any child can be treated this way by any human being< no excuse me, people who do this to children are not human.

His death also hit real close to home for me also in another way.

Forgive me but this is really hard for me, you see, I found out that my 2 daughters, GN Laci and GN Brie\Tau-2\DB were sexually molested by their Maternal Grandfather whom they had been living with. It went on for over 3 years and just ended on April 1, this year on Lacey's Birthday.

If this wasn't bad enough, they were given to the grandparents because their mother's boy friend had sexually molested them.

I was in the hospital recovering from a Helocopter crash when this happened the first time and in the hospital having another surgery because of the accident 4 1/2 years ago this time.

If any of you know of anything like this happening please get the authorities to step-in and remove the children from such danger. I will get custody of my girls after intense therapy on their's and my part.

There are too many Larry's and Brie's and Lacey's out there, If it has happened to you let someone know.

For God's sake, we maybe the only hope for some children, abuse, neglect, sexually molestation or explotation must NOT be allowed to go on.

My children will recover because they have someone to care for and love them, Larry had nobody except the ones who did this most vile acts that can ever be done.

Maybe he did die in the line of duty, he fought the hardest battle he would have ever fought in his life. (sorry hard to type with tears in my eyes) He was a real hero even though he felt it neccessary to escape the cruel life he had to endure,

BTW: he was also homeless and starving to death when he was brought to the shelter.

It is the least we can do. He will never know he has it but maybe those of us in the EH can still honor him for his courage, not for taking his own life but for enduring for as long as he did.

Ruby squadron doesn't want to use the SN of his anymore, he won the right to choose the screen name. the boys put possible SNs in a hat then chose. They tried for Photon Torp but it was used. Please send all e-mail for Ruby squadron to my e-address.

Ruby Squad has declared themselves as my personal bodyguard and VIP Escort

It is always hard to lose someone under your command no matter what the circumstances. The Haven will fly it's flag at Half Mast for 1 month.

Thanks for letting me get this off my chest. It was really bothering me.

Due to the wishes of the Home Director everything must remain anonymous so the boys don't get upset

All his sucide note said was "I am sorry, I'm going away to where kids can't get hurt anymore.

FO--Can you change the name of Ruby Squadron to that of Photon Squadron.

GN Laci and GN Brie will be back flying with TAU within a month.

Let us pray that this kind of evil stops for this misfortunate children.

By CMDR/BG Stryker/Shadow/M-FRG Ins./IW/EH

I walked through the dark red lite hallways of the Crusier Renegade. My squadron was visiting the Flagship for a speacial mission when we were ambushed. Knowing that a rebel frigate had appeared off the port, I offer my assistance.The WC told me to hurry over to the hangar.

I arrived to see that my squadron already suited and ready to go. Hopping into my X-wing I gave the signal and we took off into the dark trenches of space.

"Shadow Squadron.... this is your commander, stay tight and watch for enemy fighters."

Just then four B-wings came out of the enemy frigate.

"They're going to make a run at the crusier" I said as I led my squadron closer to the enemy frigate. "Take them out quickly."

As my squadron attacked the four b-wings I almost didn't notice the 5 X-wings and 2 B-wings come out from behind the frigate. I quickly finished off the fourth B-wing and tried to intercept them before they could make it back to the Crusier. I knew it would be usless. The B-wings had led us out too far to out make it back in time to stop the attack on the cruiser.

"I need assistance!" I ordered to the deck officer."There are 7 enemy fighters headed in your direction.

"acknowledged"

Just then I saw Raven squadren exit the Renegade.

With the help of Raven squadron we finished off the last of the fighters while Vulture squadron took out the Frigate.

Two Days Later...

I was in the briefing room with the WC and the COM, I was invited to the meeting because my squadron was needed for a special mission.

" How'd that Frigate know who we were?" asked the MG Rojas.

" We aren't sure, our sources say that there may be a security leak somewhere on the Renegade," replied RA Waxer " that's why we need you, Stryker. Our Tactics officer has devised a plan that should uncover the leak..."

Just then Fleet Admiral Renegade entered the briefing room.

" Sir!" We all saluted as the Admiral walked in.

"At ease." He ordered. "Waxer, what did you come up with?"

" Sir, here's the plan..."

" O.K people, look alive!" I ordered to my pilots as our X-wings streaked passed the Renegade. " Our mission is to infiltrate the Alliance's repair depot near the planet R'noer. We inspect all the ships in the depot and get the hell outta there. Understand?"

" Shadow leader, this is shadow 2, understood."

"Shadow 3, understood."

"Prepare for hyperspace jump...."

Back on the Renegade after the mission....

"That was almost too easy, why did the COM send us on such an easy mission?" I asked MG Rojas.

" I'm not sure, it seems to be pretty classified, he didn't even mention THIS mission in his plan we were told about a couple days back"

I was about to leave the hanger, but out of the tip of my eye I saw a dark figure enter the left hangar. Must be a tech working on the ships I thought as I walked back to my guest quarters. I spent the rest of the evening drinking Gamorean Brandy and talking with some of my old buddies from Eagle squadron.

The following morning...

"The mission was a complete success, as Vice Admiral Crandal figured, the mission somehow got word of our plans the inspect the depot and brought in extra security" RA Waxer told the senior staff.

"Ya call that extra security?" I said sarcastically " We took those fighters out so fast they never knew what hit 'em!"

"In any case, we now know that there is someone on this ship who is supplying the rebels with information." Vice Admiral Crandal interrupted. " We now can figure out who it is, and then give him his reward for betraying the Empire.

"Here is the next phase..."

That night....

I didn't sleep much that night, I was thinking about the mission. We were going to leak out information of a surprise attack on the repair depot. When the traitor eventually found out, he would try to contact the rebels. We set up a monitoring station to monitor for subspace comunications, which, we believe is what the rebel was using to contact his friends. The equiptment is state-of-the-art. Given to us by Dagger. That would uncover where the leak was on the ship. Meanwhile while this was happening my squadron would make a suprise assault on the Platform Freedom. With all the rebel defenses in the sector protecting the repair depot, there would be minimal security protecting the PLT. Finally after what seemed like hours, I finally dozed away.

The next morning....

"Whoa, Stryker, you look like hell, get any sleep?"Asked MG Rojas.

"Yeah, just not last night!"

"Well, ya better get to the hanger, your due to go on patrol in 5 minutes."

"Gotcha, seeya later." I answered as I ran down the hall.

As we flew around the Renegade in a standard vic formation I gazed out into the massive black that was space. Just then, 4 X-wings appreared about 4 KM away.

"Stryker to Waxer, we have 4 bogies at 4 Kilometers. Engage?"

"Take out their shields, I'm sending out Vulture squadron to disable them."

"Understood". "Shadow, engage the enemy, take out their shield and then provide cover for Vulture Squadron."

"Sir, this is Photon, My sensors, weapons and shields won't activate. Am I the only one?"

"This is Hanson, Same here!"

"Wolf here, My systems are screwed up too!"

I checked my systems, they were all not functioning either>

"O.K, return to base we'll figure this out later!"

Before I could turn my fighter around, the X-wings had already intercepted us and had begun to attack!

"Scramble!"I ordered. " Try to get back to the Renegade!"

I had just given the order when, out of no where 7 A-wings hyped in just .5KM away!

Uh-oh. I thought...
