Pardon me, gentlemen, but I have information concerning the maniac Doctor Artifice.
He was born in Rheinland over 100 years ago, orbiting planet Munich on the Space Station there. He was diagnosed with being schizophrenic and, moreover, a genius of the highest degree; some sources would say he was one of the lead designers of the cloaking devices used by Rheinland Military and the Order, although both groups deny this. His IQ has been estimated anywhere from 140 to 302, but we cannot find any definitive information concerning it. We do know, however, that he has Ph.D's in many schools of science, although the exact number and disciplines of science are classified.
He was an extremist, even as a child, trying to make a world that was entirely equal, and to eliminate greed. Even so, his latent schizophrenia slowly morphed his ideas, making him into the terror that he is today.
Because of his (albeit unconfirmed) association with Rheinland Military, and possibly Liberty, Kusari, and Britonian Military forces as well, he has the United Systems of Sirius (USS) Battle Station, the Ska Ralla. It is nothing to take lightly; it was a prototype for the Rheinland Military, and during preliminary testing it was determined that nothing short of being thrust into a star could eliminate it. However, that was 50 years ago, and technology has advanced since then. Nonetheless, caution is advised.
Doctor Artifice is a brilliant man, and his work can, from a sheerly scientific and morally neutral position, be classified as such, too. However, he has broken more laws than there is in a single system, and so we have no choice but to bring him in. The reward is only valid if he is brought in alive, which is why the 150 billion credit bounty is for INFORMATION ONLY. Attempting to bring him in alone, even with the aid of one or two battleships, would be catastrophic. When it comes to defense, you'd be hard pressed to find someone better prepared.
That's all I have, gentlemen. Thank you for your time today, and I hope I didn't bore you all to death. GNN will be posting more information as it is found, but I thought I'd share what I know with you first-hand before telling the Galactic News Network. Good luck, and God's Speed.
