  1. Captain Braunsfeld

    [MOC] H2O Delivered

    Thanks to Kolonialbeamter, Captain Braunsfeld was provided with a fresh supply of water (rum?). That was greatly appreciated: The Captain was delighted! He was about to say: "Shouldn't this be yellow", but in the end wisely he staid quiet. (the end) And you must not shoot black ladders or shakos, etc. against a black background... Have a nice weekend!

    Imperial Armada Trading Post

    Hello all! I haven't done any builds in a while, so one day when I was looking at some images of lego trading posts, I decided to make my own. I noticed I built stuff for my Bluecoats and Redcoats, but nothing for my Imperial Armada/Spanish. So, I decided to borrow the figures and flag from the Armada Flasghip and build a small trading post! Here we go. The frontal view of the trading post (excuse the slight slant of the pic). It features 5 minifigures, a rowboat with unloading cargo, a dock with an upper and lower part and a dock lamp. Spanish Captain talks to Merchant, other merchant starts to unload his cargo. A Armada soldier guards on top of the Trading Post. Imperial Armada Trading Post by James McGill, on Flickr Top view of the soldier, flag and cargo barrels on the top. Imperial Armada Trading Post 2 by James McGill, on Flickr Top pops off and reveals the interior which features a small table with a cup and two maps. It can fit a minifigure. Imperial Armada Trading Post interior by James McGill, on Flickr Lastly, the side view of the build. The Captain talks to the Merchant. There is a good look at the lamp and the cargo, and the side of the trading post. Imperial Armada Trading Post side by James McGill, on Flickr Thanks for reading!
  4. ... excitement! (seems my topic title was too long!) I'm a longtime lurker at Eurobricks, pretty much the only Lego site I visit. At 37, I'm old enough to have had Lego pirates ("Classic Pirates") as a memorable part of my childhood... I only had the earliest sets they made, but one of my favourite Lego sets was the "big pirate ship" (which I only now know was the "Black Seas Barracuda"). Like many others, once I'd got older, my Lego remained in an old chest and was moved around from house to house, to finally the garage, and left there, forgotten. I came out of my Lego "dark age" several years ago thanks to Heroica and Alien Conquest, two themes I discovered by chance and that made me fall in love with Lego all over again. I've bought other sets since, but when Lego released the 2015 Pirates wave I was hit with a shocking amount of nostalgia. Buying them, building that pirate ship (the "Brick Bounty"), assembling "bluecoats" with the backpacks and seeing those shark and cannon pieces just brought back *so* many memories for me. Even though I felt the sets were slightly underwhelming compared to some of the recent elaborate modern sets I'd bought from other themes (Star Wars, AC, Galaxy Squad, LOTR), it was nonetheless amazing to have brand new Pirate Lego in my adult hands! Of course, it didn't take long for me to discover that I'd missed out on a whole ton of older Pirate Lego stuff since I was a kid... I was so sad especially that I'd not come out of my "dark age" earlier to discover the Imperial Flagship, the even older Islander and Spanish sets and even the impressive ships of the POTC line. :( Though many of those were likely too old, rare or expensive to track down, I knew I needed more Pirate Lego than the current sets, so I set out to see if I could at least get hold of some of the 2009 "Pirates II" wave. Well, thanks to the miracles of Bricklink, yesterday I opened up several parcels to reveal good-as-new, mint-in-box Loot Island, Kracken Attackin', Cannon Battle, Pirate Survival, Soldier's Fort, and Battle Pack, as well as the 2011 (I think?) standalone Battle Pack. The "collector" in me feels rather guilty opening these wonderfully well-kept old sets up (is that odd?), but so far I've had *such* fun building those I have. I do wonder now though if I should have done some kind of "review/unboxing", from a less typical perspective, or at least taken photos? Regardless, it's so interesting to see the improvements and changes in the 2015 sets compared to these, particularly as many of the new sets are somewhat "updates" of the 2009 ones. I'm not sorry I got the older sets, though... the castaway minifig in Loot Island is my favourite Pirate figure so far, and having only ever owned "bluecoats" as a kid, the attraction of completely new "redcoats" was huge enough that I've ended up getting doubles of some of the smaller sets just to "army build" them and pit them against my 2015 bluecoat forces! :) Now I'm strongly thinking about tracking down the last couple of 2009 sets, including the ship ("Brickbeard's Bounty"), though I'm not sure if it will be worth the expectedly-high price; from what I can see, the 2015 "Brick Bounty" is actually very similar but superior in most ways (especially sails/masts/rigging). I would *really* like to get that Imperial Flagship... but I don't know if I have much of a chance nowadays. Do other Pirates fans here know if it's as expensive and rare to find (boxed) as I anticipate? Oh, and yeah, I got all these "MISB" even though I'm building not reselling them, because early on in my emergence from my "dark age", I thought it would be cheaper to buy "used" sets I'd missed, only to discover that nearly every time what I bought was in worse shape than the remains of my own childhood Lego, so I decided that it was worth spending the extra to meet my own (probably excessive) standards of quality... as well as to best recapture the feeling of opening a "brand new set" even if it's from many years ago. The downside is obviously that I'm already a lot poorer now! :( Finally, for those who've bothered to read my excited rambling this far (thanks!), I got another parcel today that made me feel like I was eight years old all over again. I didn't know Lego did "re-releases", but it seems they DID re-release my beloved childhood favourite: the "Black Seas Barracuda"! So yeah, I bought that too for probably way too much money, and now I'm looking at that gorgeously retro, sealed box and wondering if it's considered a crime in the eyes of Lego fandom to open her up and revisit my childhood by building that beautiful baby...? :) (sorry for the long post!)

    [MOC] Sir Drake's Boat Trip

    On a sunny Sunday afternoon, Sir Francis Drake can be found on a boat trip with his younger cousin: Sloop 8A Interestingly - and unaware to Sir Drake - they are using a custom-hull-built-boat. They would soon return to the harbour... .. when they found that they had actually started their journey without any monkey support... Ahoy! (pls. don't comment on the waves. They are just bad and I really wanted to present the ship.)
  6. On the Bluecoat-held Caribbean island of Sainte-Salacious lies the most ancient and prestigious Académie des Mousquetaires, where the bravest recruits for the Bluecoat Army receive their training as musketeers. While at the Académie, recruits learn swordsmanship, marksmanship, some light typing, and occasionally are beaten with raw fish. When they graduate, the recruits join the ranks of the most elite unit of the Bluecoat Army, the illustrious musketeers, who dream of little else but the day when they will meet their Redcoat foes in battle, and then afterward type up the after-action report. The building, itself, was built in 1562 by the Spanish as part of the monastery of Saint Salacious, who was martyred in the 9th Century while trying to introduce non-alcoholic beer and anger-management to the Scots. The island was named by the Spanish explorers who landed there in 1517 and contracted trichinosis from eating the local wild pigs. And now, here is my MOC, which is part of my larger building project to document life on the strange little island of Sainte-Salacious: Sometimes the musketeers do charity work, such as this musketeer teaching swordplay to a young street ruffian as revenge for the boy's mother saying she doesn't date soldiers. The monument to the greatest musketeer of all time..... whose name escapes everyone.... The Bluecoat guard on the left is not overly thrilled to be wasting his youth guarding a door, while the guard on the right is just plain tickled not to have been posted to an actual combat unit. The roof comes off for ventilation on very hot days. Apparently. A bizarre little ritual, but a necessary part of the training. Apparently some of the bricks in the wall started to separate when I carried it downstairs to photograph it. Ah well, free lighting. I had wanted to use more vegetation in the courtyard, but I'm saving my trees for a different project.

    MOC Pirates Paradise

    So I took Rock Island Refuge, and made it awesome. Added a beach, a sunken ship. I did take ideas from other MOCs ive seen here and I am very happy with the outcome. I kept the original Lego colors :) too.

    MOC: Bluecoat 24-gun Frigate

    Greetings! Finally finished my Bluecoat frigate. Don't have a name yet - that's proving to be difficult to settle on, but I have some ideas. I based her on plans and paintings of French frigates from the mid-18th Century, and the build owes a LOT to the "Build A Frigate" tutorial, as well as quite a few gorgeous ships I've seen posted on this site, so thanks to everyone who posted pictures of your ships! Here is the overview. The ship is about 66cm tall and 87cm long, and is the largest ship I've built. Fully Rigged Ship, Three Masts 20B The figurehead is a little dull. I haven't settled on a name for the ship yet, so the figurehead probably will be changing. 2nd Battalion of Bluecoat Marines. The ship's launch. A Bluecoat infantry officer hitching a ride. The capstan does not work, but I'll probably change that soon. I kinda like the way the masts turned out, but even with reinforcing inside of them, they are way too fragile for the ship to be played with. Since my goal is always playability, I'll probably change the masts soon. I do enjoy making custom flags. Come on, now - I'm not the only ship builder here who likes croissants. It was not easy to get the tumblehome to line up with the part of the cabin that juts out, but I like the way it turned out. I really like the way the outside of the captain's cabin came together. I tried quite a few different looks before I finally found one I liked. And of course you know I'm going to have a binnacle. I love binnacles, but I don't like trying to build them. Deck comes off to expose the captain's cabin. Brunch is served. I wanted to do a tiled pattern for the cabin floor, but did not have enough pieces, so hardwood it is! I kind of like the way it looks. I might also change the ship's wheel. This one is okay, but I can do better. I don't think the ship's cook is as French as he claimed on his résumé. The ship's bell again - it was a little challenge to build it with a clapper, but I like the way it turned out. I haven't made the sails yet. I'm going to wait until I know whether or not I'm going to redesign the top masts, and I'm also going to make all the sails for all my ships at once. Thanks for looking! ~ Plaid Beard

    El Dorado 6276

    Hello everybody, I 'll try to present myself as a classic lego sets fan by using this not that hugely modified El Dorado classic pirates set. The goal was to keep much of the charm of the classic sets and creating the atmosphere of those old style lego catalouges. Hope you 'll like it guys :) This is it, a small port town with its pier, tavern, fort, small mansion and a beach with gold digging pirates: A few close-ups And another shot with my redention of the anchored Caribbean Clipper in the forefront Please do give me suggestions and comments since I'm new at this!
  10. Someone from China sent me a link for this website where there are many instructions being resold.. Some of them are offered by the original builders for free, but they are selling them anyways... I've seen Nico's, Sheepo's, Nathanael's, mine, and quite a few others... The site is a bit difficult to navigate because of the language... Unless you speak that language, you just have to scroll around.. LINK
  11. 173D Another one of my favorite ships that I decided to modify. Now this one I turned into and Imperial Ship. Mostly because I have no imperial ships. It now has 6 cannons, a full deck, and a few other things. Hope you like it. Untitled by K R, on Flickr I took your advice and added a yellow stripe to the ship. I think it makes it look much better. Also you will notice in the above pic it now had 4 cannons and an improved deck. More pics to come in the future.

  12. Hello again everybody, while I might risk sounding a bit like a spoiled brat, I 'll still tell you the "story" of my first "pirate theme" ship. Remember drooling over those 1989, 1990 and 1991 lego catalouges with the great Black Seas Barracuda (6285) and while the Skull's Eye Schooner (6286) was a far more elaborate ship, thoes red sails got imprinted in my retina. The BSB was simply my dream ship, and I asked my parents if they ever get the chance to get me that "red sail ship" and they got me the "red sail ship", only it wasn't BSB it was the Imperial Flagship (6271). That was my childhoods first and only lego pirate theme ship. I really liked that ship after I got used to the fact that it is not the actual red sail ship, but I still remember the initial disappointment that it wasn't the BSB. You can notice the size difference on this photo between 6271 and the modded 6285: A year ago I got the BSB and really loved it, but felt it was a bit small now that I've grown, so I modded it into a bit longer three masted ship. And with BSB around I felt the Imperial flagship was kinda outgunned in every possible way, and didn't feel that, even thoe it looks faster, the ships commander would ever sail into an engagment facing a ship as big as BSB. So I decided to make my own version. Btw, I always preferd the blue coats over the red coats. So ladies and pirates this is it: Brig - Two Masts - One Square Sail on the Main 6C Just kidding :D This was something I built during my dark age, one night I was back at my folks home going trought lego boxes. My first idea was to try and see if it looked any better in blue coats colours and I'll let you be the judge of that: And then I started planing for the total rehull. Orderd another hull mid section and parts for another mast and a few windows, and this is what I came up with (ofcourse used my lego stash aswell), a blue coats version of imperial flagship named "Impérial": It actually isn't fair to compare it to my moded version of BSB since I made it quite bigger, but still think that the commander of "Impérial" could face the BSB with a fighting chance on the high seas: The ships bow with the figurehead: And the stern: Hope you like the new blue coats flagship!

    Lego pirate stories

    Hello, I am an avid pirate lego collector and now I am hoping to get my kid into them too! Just a question, does anyone else come up with story ideas for their kids involving Lego Pirates. I am thinking of starting a thread in here with a 'build as we go' story. Starting with an intro and allowing members to add to the story as we go. Would this be a project anyone else would be interested in?

    [SPC] Cat C - Shipwreck Encampment

    Shipwreck Encampment: Deep among the dunes of a vast alien desert, a long forgotten shipwreck basks in the searing extraterrestrial sunlight. Seeking refuge from pursuing authorities, a band of scoundrelish space pirates has made their camp here. A line of speeder exhaust stretches through across the desert to the hideout, denoting the arrival of a shipment of the pirates treasure... Haven't posted here in a while! Here's my entry to the Space Pirates Contest. I usually build castle, so doing a space moc was a fun challenge, but something I've been wanting to do for a while. Thanks for checking it out! ;) Soli Deo Gloria!

  16. In the farthest reaches of the outer rim, there is a space pirate who is so feared throughout the galaxy that no one dares speak his name: Captain IronClaw! With his crew of cyborg misfits, he has marauded many planets and killed many people, dodging the Imperial troops of the Galactic Empire every step of the way. When you hear the screeching of his gears and the clanking of his cold iron claw, you better run! Let's meet the cew: Captain IronClaw Captain Iron Claw's past is shrouded in mystery. No one really knows where he came from or even what species he was. All that is known is that he used to be a man who increasingly became fed up with the Empire's rule, so he became an outlaw and cybernetically enhanced his own body until he became the fiercest killing machine the galaxy had ever known. Now his body is comprised of various robotic parts that he acquired throughout his many raids. His signature weapon is a large, sharp claw on his left arm with a built-in ion cannon. Along with his fiery plasma sword, he is ready for any battle! This figure is fully posable and about the same size as a Bigfig. On his back, he carries his dark matter power supply. Hidden behind his faceplate and iron armor is IronClaw's only remaining organic body part: his brain. Parrot Drone X9000 The X9000 is the latest Parrot brand drone (yes, those are still around in the far future). With its silent rotors it can stealthily fly anywhere, and with its high definition camera and microphone, it can spy on enemies and even IronClaw's own crew. Then it can return to Captain IronClaw and repeat the conversations to him, so he always knows the Empire's next move and if there are traitors among his crew. The parrot drone can dock onto IronClaw's right arm, allowing him to download data from the drone directly. Claudette Noxxington Claudette is the daughter of the Admiral Noxxington, the leader of the Galactic Imperial Armada. She developed a very rebellious personality early on due to her father being a rule-following man who spent most of his time away from home, enforcing the Empire's laws. She got kidnapped by Captain IronClaw and his men when they plundered her home planet, but ended up earning their respect and joining their crew in order to spite her father. She has since become IronClaw's second in command and secretly developed a crush on him. The Admiral doesn't believe that his daughter would willingly join the pirates, so he blames Captain IronClaw for her not returning home. He had always been on the hunt for IronClaw, but now it's personal. Scabbers the Cook There is a rat in the kitchen! Or should I say, the rat IS the kitchen. Scabbers was a rat living on IronClaw's ship until he got exposed to radiation from the ship's reactor and was mutated into a human-sized person. Oddly enough, he soon became fascinated with cooking and became the ship's cook. He got himself some robotic legs and continued to enhance himself with various cooking utensils until he became a walking kitchen. Unfortunately, he is not a very good cook, but lucky for IronClaw, he has become so mechanic that he doesn't require food anymore. The abdomen of Scabbers' spider-like robot body doubles as a cooking pot. He can turn his upper body around and start cooking on the built-in stove on his lower body. Sharko the Sharkonian Sharko is a Sharkonian warrior from a water planet simply known as "Shark Planet". He is not the smartest being in the galaxy, but what he lacks in brains he makes up with brawn. When IronClaw first met him, Sharko bit off IronClaw's right leg. Impressed with his strength, IronClaw adopted him into his crew and appointed him his elite bodyguard. He gave him robotic legs so he can walk on land and a breathing apparatus that supplies him with the water he needs to breath. Whenever IronClaw needs to "feed someone to the sharks," he simply hands them off to Sharko. With his razor sharp teeth and large Sharkonian axe, Sharko is one warrior that is not to be messed with. His only weakness is his appetite. He is always hungry and he's the only one on the crew who actually likes Scabbers' cooking. Maraudenator Talk about a skeleton crew. The Maruadenators are mass-produced robot skeletons that make up most of IronClaw's crew. They are merciless, tough to kill, and best of all, expendable. They come equipped with claws on their hands and feet and a standard-issue blaster rifle. I hope you like them and look forward to your comments!

    MOC - The Imperial Canal

    The Imperial Army has built a canal passing through a larger island. The exit and entrances are guarded by Military outposts with few soldiers stationed in them. It's not the best, but I thought it turned out nice. Enjoy!

    [SPC] Cat B - Fort Raid

    Sometime in the 17th century, there is an Imperial fort in the middle of the Caribbean where a pirate is being held prisoner. The fort is built on a rocky cove and some of the soldiers swear they have seen a mermaid calling out to them from the water. The Bluecoats think their fort is impenetrable, but a pirate captain is about to lead a raid on the fort to free his captured fellow pirate. Thousands of years later, on a far away asteroid deep in space, history repeats itself as a space pirate is attacking a Galactic Imperial base to break out a fellow pirate from a high-security prison. The Classic Pirates version was built by just2good while the space version was built by me. Let's take a closer look at them, starting with the classic version. The classic fort features a pier, a main building with a crane, and a prison cell with a cannon on top. Like in the official Lego sets, both forts are open backed for easy access to the interior. There is a wooden bridge connecting the pier with the main building, but watch out, some of the planks are a bit decayed and might give in. Inside the building, there is a bottle of rum, a rat, and a map of the area. On the second floor, there is the crane, a barrel with weapons, and a ladder that leads up to the roof. From there, the Bluecoats can look out for incoming ships and fend off enemies with a small catapult. This is also where they keep there equipment and the key to the prison. There is a mermaid that lives in this cove and occasionally seduces the soldiers. While the soldier is distracted, the pirate captain sneaks in to free his friend. The prisoner is free and the pirates have taken back the confiscated treasure! But the Governor won't let them leave without a fight! Here is a better look at the pirates, the mermaid, and some of the accessories. And here are the Bluecoats. Now lets make a time jump to the far future where the Galactic Empire has colonized the far reaches of space. This space fort has the same kind of features as the classic fort: a landing pad, a main building with a crane, a prison tower with a cannon on top, and a small pirate ship. Once again, the back is open for easy play. The door to the main building opens up. Inside the main building are a few computers and a fire extinguisher. Inside the control tower, there is a small armory and a glass dome with HUD displays from where the governor can oversee the entire fort. The laser bars of the prison cell can be raised and so can the light bridge to prevent escapes. Inside the prison cell there isn't much except a bunk. On top of the main building there is a large robotic arm crane for unloading cargo from landed ships. On top of the prison tower, there is a huge laser cannon that can turn 360 degrees and aim up and down. The space pirate captain is dueling the governor for the freedom of his crew member on the landing pad bridge. Here is a closer look at the small ship that the space pirate captain uses to get to the fort. This nimble fighter features the pirate insignia on the wings, a main engine, and two extra thrusters. Here you can see the pirate captain on the right and the pirate prisoner in the middle. The creature on the left is one of the aliens inhabiting the asteroid the fort is built on. It carries some sort of alien artifact. Manning the Imperial fort are the Governor and three bluecoat troopers, named so for their dark blue armor. The troopers have standard issue rifles and blasters whereas the governor carries a golden jetpack and a custom light sword. Note that all these figs have the same faces as in just2good's entry! We hope you enjoyed our entry. You can see more pictures in just2good's Flickr and my photostream.

  21. So, I only found out about this contest yesterday, but I manged to smash this together over two days, something I wouldn't recommend. In my scene, a recently crashed cargo ship (Actually counts as a SHIP, as it's a bit over 100 studs), is being pilfered by a troupe of churlish pirates, complete with dilapidated space skiffs and assorted mechanisms. And I would imagine that the low gravity on the planet allows for the completely unnatural skew of the cargo ship. It's not the best thing I've built, but given the time constraints, I think it's alright.
  22. Yawn in disinterest weary traveller for you have come face to face with the least notorious band of pirates in the seven oceans of space: The Hook Hand Gang. Murmur refusal when they offer tax advice, Shrug with mild indifference at their top ten list of savory pies, Roll your eyes at their insistance at a proper breakfast. Sigh as they take the time to politely introduce themselves: Captain Squiggly Captain Squiggly became a pirate as a young squid when he missread an advert seeking a fearless pirater as seeking a fearless pie rater. (the wording was misleading and english was his second language). Initially disappointed, he decided to stick with it, surmising that he would probably come into contact with some pies at some point during the extensive travel involved in pirating. The young Squiggly, always eager to please, lost his hand trying to retrieve his captain's pocketwatch from the jaws of a crocodile. He inherited his ship and his captaincy when the rest of the crew were all eaten by a much larger and angrier crocodile while he was below deck researching savory pie fillings. On becoming captain, Squiggly set about recruiting a crew that was as equally as lacking in piratey conviction as he was, and together they sail the seven oceans of space looking for treasure, eating pies, and generally staying out of trouble. Hugo Hugo suffers from mild Mysophobia, a fear of germs, and wears his home-made metal helmet with built-in air filter to prevent him from breathing in anything nasty. The heavy weight of it has helped him to develop very strong neck muscles, but his promising swimming career has suffered. Princess Squarkers Pollard the Magnificent MEng When Captain Squiggly retired from piracy he had dreams of becoming a champion parrot breeder. With a keen eye for a bargin he spotted a miss-labelled parrot at a Space Police confiscated items auction. Hoping to train her for the Pan Galaxy Fancy Parrot Competition, he gave her the suitably grand title of Princess Squarkers Pollard the Magnificent. Unfortunately for Captain Squiggly, Princess Squarkers Pollard the Magnificent thought talent shows were stupid and ran off to engineering College. Four years later she graduated top of her class when the Mech she built stomped on all her classmate's final year projects. Lady Elisabet Stone Lady Elisabet doesn't think her past is any concern of yours, thank you very much. Which is unfortunate as her's is by far the most interesting back story. Fred the Dolphin Frederica is an advanced species of dolphin evolved to swim through, and breath, almost any liquid or gas, from salt water to the vacuum of space. She was trained by the Imperial Guard to rescue lost astronauts and to locate floating mines, and served in their navy for 2 years. However the constant emphasis on parading and paperwork over actual mine clearing led to her resigning at the ealiest opportunity. After leaving the military she was in high demand with pirate crews throughout the seven oceans but chose to join the Hook Hand Gang because of their progressive policies on dolphin equality (All dolphins in the Gang may be armed with two large cannons if they so chose), Ice Cream (There is always time to stop for Ice Cream) and Parades (There will be no parades). The rest of the gang sometimes thinks she looks a little smug, which may be true, but that's only because being a dolphin who can swim through space is excellent. "Trendy" Jack When most men reach middle age they buy a hover car, or a small space ship, or tell everyone that if it wasn't for that injury in high school they could of had a successful zero-g football career. Not Jack, he decided to become a Space Pirate. And to prove to everyone that he is still young and original he got himself a pink mohawk, just like half the other pirates in space. He's secretly relieved that the Hook Hand Gang doesn't really concern itself with traditional piracy. He acts as the Gang's accountant.
  23. Hi, I'm planning to sale my Imperial Flagship. Because I move together with my girlfriend and she's not really into Lego, I want to sell it with a heavy heart. It's 100% complete, in very good condition. Box and instructions in excellent condition. It wasn't played with, just stood on my living room's shelf. I'm located in Germany, would ship worldwide. I'd prefer Bank Transfer, because of Paypal Fees. Pictures can be seen here: https://www.flickr.c...57652220182852/ Feel free to ask questions. If you are intersted in buying PM me. Cheers Sebastian

    [SPC] Cat A - S.H.A.D.E.

    Well, this is my hearty crew. Sorry about the bad quality of the photos. S.H.A.D.E. is a undercover pirate crew. Unlike the pirates of old, they don't go after ships, but after business owners in the galaxy that have enough money. They also have no captain, and duties are divvied evenly. Rumor is you can hire them, of course, you'll have to find them first. If any member of the crew could be called the leader, it might be KingFisher. He calls himself KingFisher for his fast movements and bright colors. He is said to be able to hit a Quarxhopper at 1800 feet. Little is know about Domino except her name. A trained assassin, she is an expert with a sniper rifle. Aarchon was a former officer in the Galactic Guard before he defected to S.H.A.D.E. He is equipped with a Gonxx staff which channels the energy from the air into deadly blasts. X2-9Gs real name is unknown, but it is speculated that he comes from outside our galaxy, from the neighboring tribal planets. An expert marksman, X2-9G is equipped with a high powered double barreled laser gun and an energy shield. The air on some planets is hard to breathe for him, so he keeps an AirAdaptor handy at all times. Solomon Trydes is the ships doctor and repair, and although he is a wiz at both of his jobs, you have to be careful to specify what you want him to do. He is liable to get his tools mixed up. Ironhelm Jack is a loyal and solid part of S.H.A.D.E. His weapon of choice is a Kraej made electro-wand. It can melt practically anything, but it takes a lot of juice to keep it running for long. A fair share of all the spoils usually goes to energy for Ironhelm. Thanks for looking. C&C welcome.
