I like the sounds of this (and the EvE starter ships), so go ahead and count me in if there is room.

Well, while we're waiting on the First ship to be decided, i might as well let those interested generate chracters.
Character sheet
Character name: Gender: Age: Home-world: Class: Rank: (Position in the Player Hierarchy) Appearance: Bio:
The only thing you really have to keep in mind is that characters must know each other fairly well, and that you'll all have to decide who'll be in charge and your internal rank structure.

Alright, so from what I`ve read, no one wants to be captain (correct me if I`m wrong). So if yall don't mind, I would like to be the captain . I definitely like the idea of the military ship though, or rather a military ship, as you can get a job as an escort or hired gun. Or you could just go and explore pirate space or hell even run bounties. Regardless I see a lot more use coming from a military vessel. But that is just my opinion. Edit: Harrab would we by any chance be able to acquire cybernetics from the beginning?

Player name: Silence Character name: Lucy Ires Gender: Female Age: 25 Home-world: Recluint V Class: Commander Rank: TBD Appearance: Bio: Born at the turn of the century, Lucy was raised by the Navy, as both her parents were career vets. With her dad as a captain of a Cruiser and her mother head of logistics on Recluint V, she never got to see her parents, but instead was watched over by the multiple Navy academies she attended. Being taught obedience and discipline at an early age kept Lucy out of trouble and allowed her to have an easy childhood. The absence of her parents caused her to be a generally independent person and she strayed away from others rejecting most of their movements of friendship, instead finding her sole friend in an AI named Liyra. The two grew close to each other and Lucy never ventured far without Liyra. It got to the point where she never left her house but to go to the Naval academy.
During her years at the academy she excelled to the top of her class, and by the age of 14 was a prime candidate for the Junior Captains program. Her parents were extremely proud of their daughter, and so pulled strings to get her into the program when she was rejected due to her anti-social mannerisms. For the next 4 years, Lucy was trained to become a Navy officer. These years went great for her, as she was still top of her class and excelled in everything. Through these years, Liyra helped Lucy by teaching her how the systems and subsystems worked, along with shortcuts and bypasses to be more efficient at commanding a ship. This is what gave Lucy her edge over the second in class, Streven Stroud, who had a deep grudge against Lucy for keeping him in her shadow.
Streven was a bright individual as well as popular and stunningly handsome, and people naturally flocked to him. But the near angelic appearance on the outside, covered up the dark hatred on the inside. He had been abandoned as a child and went from orphanage to orphanage, until he was eventually sent to the academy at the age of 8. Being resentful towards the pretty much forced enlistment into the Navy, he rebelled for the first few years of school and got punished for it, by being beat and flogged. This brewed his hatred for the Navy, but he concocted a plan to get back at them. Years of striving to be the best got him into the Junior Captain program, and when Lucy kept ahead of him, he saw his plan start to crumble. When the last year of the program rolled around and the final test was revealed, Streven saw his chance to get back at the Navy and take Lucy down with it.
The final year saw Lucy excelling beyond all the members of her class by a bigger jump than it had been before, as they had finally gotten to working solely with manning a ship. The natural talent of taking command and the knowledge Liyra had given Lucy about subsystems saw her into the leader role indefinitely despite Steven`s popularity. After the final year of simulations and tests, the group was put into command of a real ship. The final test was a mock battle in a real frigate, an old surplus training frig, and required the group to work as a coherent unit to defend against an enemy attack. Streven having already learned what the final test was, planned to exact his revenge then, by sabotaging the ship. When they started the test, Lucy was the captain with Streven heading up the engineering. This gave him access to the ships internals and a way to get off the bridge before he blew it up. Much to the surprise of Lucy, Liyra was installed as the AI in the frigate, with some strings pulled from her parents, and Lucy felt she could pass this test without a hitch. Luck had finally run out for Lucy though.
When the test began, everything went exceptionally well, and everything pointed to a near perfect score, but the time had come for Streven to enact his plan. Suddenly a problem with the communication relay down in engineering pulled Streven out of the bridge. Lucy dismissed it as part of the test, and continued commanding the ship to victory.
The frigate, an unnamed class, was of older design and had a separate reactor for the bridge and other vital systems, which was located underneath the bridge, but the ship had never been put into real service as the reactor was known to explode if it surged. Streven had known this and was about to do exactly that.
As the final two enemy ships were being dispatched, Streven came onto the bridges front display. Tears ran down his face as he laughed and maniacally explained his plan. Meanwhile he had locked out everyone from ship controls, including Liyra. Suddenly the feed cut out and Streven started the chain reaction of power transfer, then the surge hit the reactor. Liyra in the meantime worked furiously around Streven`s lock and managed to get blast doors to seal off half the room, as it was meant to seal incase the glass in the front was breached, and saved Lucy and a few other members on the bridge from instant vaporization. In a flurry of screaming metal and roaring flames the bridge became a hellstorm of shrapnel and destruction. Half of the students on the bridge were vaporized, while those on the other side of the blast door took all the shrapnel and fire.
As soon as medics made it to the bridge, no one but Lucy was still alive, and even then she could barely be considered alive. During the explosion her left arm had been severed by a razor hot sheet of metal that cauterized the wound instantly, meanwhile the rest of her body had been burnt extensively, along with her legs having also suffered as they were a torn mess embedded with shrapnel. The medics were able to keep her alive, but just barely and she had to get extensive amounts of surgery to salvage what was left. Lucy`s Parents sank everything they could into bring Lucy back to life. This included a cybernetic left arm starting from the shoulder down, both legs muscles below her knees were replaced with artificial muscle, and her damaged organs replaced. Lucy essentially became a cyborg.
A year after the event and all the surgeries being complete, Lucy was released out of medical care. She was a shadow of her former self for several years after, with her only companion being destroyed in the events. To make matters worse, her father was killed in action shortly after her release, sending her spiraling even further into depression. At the age of 24, she found a way off of the planet and out of the system that had held her greatest hopes and horrors.
Now searching for a job on a ship, she is looking to start anew and erase the pain of the past away.

Player name: Warrender Character name: Grant Wilcox (nickname Wilco) Gender: Male Age: 32 Home-world: Boriah Class: Explorer Rank: Cargo Appearance: Bio. Wilco has always been an explorer at heart even since childhood where he and his friends would explore the hills and valleys that surrounded the town he lived in, any new hole or cave that was discovered usually involved him diving head first to explore what lay within. He long since dreamed of exploring what lay beyond his world and spent many a night staring skyward at the stars in some remote location he had discovered on his world, plotting out the constellations and memorising each one. Following that dream into adulthood he signed up instantly after hearing of new initiatives to explore the black uncharted sea of space. Of course, like any new initiative, Wilco was a just a drop of water in a sea of other applicants. He enrolled for the position of steller cartographer, when failed to gain a position aboard any ship he then applied for a steller analysis postion, steller mapper, then deep space scanner. There was nothing left, nothing left to apply for. His dreams dashed he clutched the forms, his eyes desparately searching for something, anything. His eyes finally found a position aboard a small vessel as a Cargo worker, he had to have it, he didn't know the first thing about it but he just had to get into space somehow.

Ship Designation: Thantos Ship Class: Frigate Prowler Ship Role: Search and Rescue/Infiltration recovery/Salvager Weapons: 3 Claw Class Point Defense Turrets Drones: 2 Badger Class Salvage Drones, 2 Wombat Class Recon Drones Other Systems: 1 front mounted breaching laser (Meant for cutting into hulls and recovering personnel or items of importance from wrecks) Shield Strength: Medium Cargo Space: Medium Maneuverability: Low Sensor Strength: High Fuel: 30 Jumps Food: 1 Month
Appearance:
Desc: A Prowler class Frigate, the Thantos was developed over a century ago as a means of recovering high ranking personnel from hostile combat situations, when their ships were destroyed or disabled. It saw wide service for a few years after production, serving its purpose venerably and eventually was discovered to be an exceptional salvager as well when the ship was made available to the commercial market. The ship was a common site for years afterwards, until it was outdated and outclassed by the newer and bigger, Sirius Class Destroyer Prowler.
The ship is larger than most frigates but lacks the firepower to be considered a destroyer, but it makes up for that with its stealthy nature. The Thantos has a sleek frame that gives it a smaller signature radius which reduces its chances of being detected, allowing it to sneak about battlefields recovering important personnel and items from wrecks while the engagement was still active. It also excelled in the role of salvaging when the civilian market got ahold of it, and it`s production boomed with it becoming a staple salvaging ship. To this day it still has held its value and isn't regarded as outdated despite the numerous new ships that have supposedly outclassed it, serving as a beginners buy for those looking to get in the market of salvaging and exploration.
(Thought a salvaging class ship would be nice to expand our selection of jobs we could expand into.)
