As stated earlier, here are a few detailed NPCs from my campaign
Note to one of my PCs who is a member of this list, names have been
scrambled in some cases from who they really are. The stats are in GDW
house format but common sense conversion is simple enough

Ammel Brodrig Born, Arizona Dawn Day 187,1160
I was born in the coastal city of Alameda on Arizona Dawn where I
grew up with my two sisters. My parents worked in the area. My
father was a ParaWIG drivers and my mother a computer builder. They
urged me to excel in school and other activities. I was able to get a
Federation Scholarship to the cosmonautical Academy on Prima. After my
four years there, I entered the fleet. Through hard work and
determination I was able to climb up through the ranks and after only 14
years in the fleet I was on the verge of my own command. Quite an
accomplishment. Then it happened. The Icarus Incident. I was the XO of
the NeoSol Federation Destroyer Icarus, the CO was the son of some
Council Senator. We were doing a routine docking with a civilian high
port. When docking was imminent, the CO inexplicably vented the Heplar
thrusters into the docking area. The surge and heat buckled the main
door and the plasma exhaust superheated the air in the hangar deck
causing an oxygen flash fire the moved through the entire wing of the
high port. 518 people died and hundreds more were injured. In the
ensuing investigation the CO dissappeared from sight and questions about
him were brutally repressed. The most mysterious being that a post
accident med exam revieled some sort of implant? in the CO's head. I
never knew what to make of this. In any event I was the only one
available to court martial. They had to "hang" somebody, the CO was
nowhere to be found so they chose me. The navy will always protect
itself, I learned and will make you look like a complete bozo to do so.
Some called for my execution, in the end I was discharged to the colonial
corps where I now run a system outpost in the system of Home. Me and six
other sad sacks and several dumb robots. I think that I had my fill of
this, youre going to get screwed anyway so you might as well have fun, I
think I'll take Belle Starr up on that offer...I always wanted my own
High Port.

To me, a computer terminal is a paint brush, a laser cutter a chisel, a
blank circuit is a canvas. My head is filled with ideas. I wish I could
just stay in my shop and build things. Every now and then I have to sell
something to keep eating, Oh well...at least I have my little grav lifted
buddy to follow me around and help me.
Noel is a crewmember of BJ Eyzaguirre's ship the "Speculator" he is the
guy who keeps the 100 year old ship in top order and is trying to squeeze
jump 3 out of it. He is followed around by a little grav lifted robot
bouyed by a helium chamber and small fans. It serves as a comm link,
database and companion with amusing, profound, stupid quotes at any time
unless you tell it to SHUT UP!

My family has always been space faring, hell my brother and I were both
born in space aboard the family ship, Speculator. Ive no children but my
brother long lost to the depths of space has two. They are back on
Aurigae but I swear that as soon as I make that big score, Ill retire and
help take care of them. Even with Noel's talents, the Speculator grows
long in the tooth....so Im looking for that big multiMCr deal...any
suggestions or leads you might want to pass my way for a few Cr or a cut?
Well anyway, Im off to Alameda High Port to pick up some important
charter and to meet some guy who claims to have known my Brother, he
wouldnt be the first...the other turned out to be mistaken.
Ref: BJ is the ultimate speculative trader. He tools around in a 100
year old far trader with a crew consisting of a sentient TL 14 android, a
refugee Jonkereen and a mechanical genius. He's looking for that last
big score but hasnt found it yet. After that he can buy that ranch on
Enope. But does he really want that ranch? Isnt it really the thrill of
the deal that makes his heart beat!?....

They said it must never be allowed to happen again. But when Union of
Senled tanks rolled across the Great Plain into Nemo, no one lifted a
finger to help a small defenseless nation. Sure they talked but decided
It was easier to let Union of Senled have their way. Maybe theyll be
satisfied with that, right?!? Well it was my home they razed. My
parents they butchered and so I had to do something about it. When that
command ship blew up in the harbor I watched from shore...my handiwork
having been responsible. They eventually figured out what happened and
who. I was captured and due to be shot until a raid broke me out of
prison and I ran to Enope. I know that the Union of Senled has agents
here on this planet. I also know that there is a beedling vault on
Aurigae, I just dont know where. In a war zone there is little
opportunity for careful archaeological surveys...what I do know is that
vault may contain what we need to push the Senled out of our nation, or
in the wrong hands...ensure Union of Senled domination of Aurigae.
Ref: Jana started off as farmer and studied biology and agriculture in
tech school. When Senled invaded her home country of Nemo she became a
resistance fighter(or terrorist depending on your POV) and helped to sink
a Union of Senled ship in Nemo's Landing Harbor. She was captured and
imprisoned but subsequently escaped in a Nemon raid in the facility. She
escaped to Enope where she met Ulysses Stark where he was then a local
Constable. They eventually married (covertly).

Salvor started off as a "law enforcer" until he decided he wanted to fry
bigger fish than petty jaywalkers or liiterers. He wanted to go after
the real criminals, not the ones you see on the news but the ones who
assualt the very structure of society itself. His right hand still
twitches its electronic nerves when he remembers how (Name omitted for
Security Reasons) had it cut off to teach him a lesson. That was in the
confederation days. The Unified Sphere Charter put Rach into your
jurisdiction. The Mysterious Foundation has covertly hired you to
investigate the so called Cyber Conspiracy which supposedly is linked to
seperatism on Rachland and the Icarus incident..but how? You are
liscensed to carry your trusty Brock-10mm etc pistol anywhere, some
strings have been pulled your dissappearence faked, your visage altered
and you are now part of the Piedmont Investigative Service sent to Rach
aboard a Universal Exports ship with the man known as Mr Songstrom. What
will some strange occurences on Rachlan reveal? Only time and hard work
will tell.

Thats really gotta be it for today, thats five so far, I plan to sit down
Saturday to put in about five more. Hopefully these NPCs will be of use
or just interesting reading for all TMLers
