LPI Karl Agathon

[MB52]

The ship sat in a dark docking bay, on a station well hidden in the Illinois system. This was the same place, the captured Outcast destroyer had been sent to be analyzed and experimented on. Many still had hope that the ship would see the light of day, and be used by the LPI for raids...

Though Karl figured it would either be taken apart piece by piece... or would collect dust here forever.

This gunboat however.. he had special plans for. A certain.. militant group of outcasts was operating in Liberty causing alot of grief for LPI patrols. Apparently even the rogues were frustrated and could do nothing.

The upper levels of the LPI felt that this threat needed to be ended quickly, however would not commit to any extrordinary actions...

The Chief and the Deputies were all in agreement something had to be done, but what could be done? There were tonnes of rules in place, keeping them from doing anything... If we are to take down the Cartel, we'd need to take drastic actions.

Karl banded together a few LPI officers he knew could be trusted and explained the situation.

"Alright boys and girls, here is what we want to do..."

He went through and extravagant plan to make use of this gunboat. First things first, he would want to use it to infiltrate enemy territory, gather some intel. Eventually they would be able to openly attack the Cartel ships, when they are week and alone. Of course other options might be of interest. For one... if they could open a dialogue with the Cartel, they could eventually infiltrate the organization and destroy this cancer from the inside out... yes... this is what we are going to do.

He headed for the hangar bay, just as his hand picked crew entered. They were all wearing Outcast uniforms from the ex crew of the captured destroyer. Some wore "fake" breathing masks, others not.

They all climbed on board the gunboat, and with Karl's access code managed to leave without setting off any alarms. They slowly slipped out of the system, using a "training exercise" as the excuse, and headed towards the badlands.

I’ll carry this flag
To the grave if I must
Because it’s flag that I love
And a flag that I trust
