We have just about two weeks out from our pre-order deadline,  and I’m not going to lie. Things are looking grim for our goal. I’m not saying that I think it is unattainable, but I am saying that unless something changes it looks highly unlikely. Either way I am going to keep send updates out to everyone as often as I can find my way to the keyboard and type them up.

Today I’ve got one of the three remaining crew write-ups from the Void Hawk, the relentless Captain Marterra Felist. I hope you enjoy it, despite the lack of artwork for the entry, and continue to spread the word.

Being a freelancer is all that Captain Marterra Felist of the Void Hawk has ever known. The Malkian spent most of her childhood crawling through the innards of whichever ship her mother had signed to, and has always felt more comfortable under the pull of a ship’s magical gravity than the planetary variety. . Each new ship brought new things for her to learn, from engineering, to navigation, to swordplay. There was nothing she wouldn’t try at least once.

She didn’t jump directly from childhood to the captain’s chair. Before she dared to take that step Marterra made a name for herself as a duelist and a first mate aboard the Crimson Wolf. By the time her career aboard the heavy cruiser was done, most captains  in the system had learned it was better to surrender than face a boarding party lead by Marterra. As a reward for her loyalty, Captain Danaga gifted Materra a prize ship: the Void Hawk.

Aboard the Void Hawk, Captain Felist has carved out her own place in the stars. Content to leave the more high profile and noisier jobs to much larger crews, she focused on building a more elite team of specialists and leveraging the network of contacts from her years aboard the Wolf. With the battle hardened Corrs, intuitive Brachen, and raw power of Cassisus, Materra has little trouble keeping the Hawk’s coffer’s full - at least until the repair and fuel bills arrive.
