History

The Queens Hand

The Queens Hand.

Even at a young age Petra was space happy. Her mother was the second in command of a Hapan Nova class Queens Handand took Petra with her on her travels. Malin was a good woman and taught her daughter everything she knew about Hapan ships. She also taught Petra how to fight.

Petra became fond of Knives. Oh she did well with hand blasters but she was an expert when it came to Vibroknives. She found that knives were more useful on ships then blasters. But soon Malin saw her daughter was ready to go to Hapes to train. This became the Highlight and how young Petra ,then 15, how to command and fly a capital ship.

One year later back on the Queens hand she returned to her ship soon enough. She had trained hard for the weapons officers. while not a commissioned officer her familiarity made her a logical for her to take the post.

Four years passed uneventful for the girl until one day death came. Three Pirates were running from the Nova and would have been easy prey. Little did the crew what was closing to aft till the ship rocked with a direct hit on the weaken aft shields. Bringing the ship about they saw to there horror that not only were they outside the ort cloud, but a Corona Class Frigate was closing to port and hammering at their shields.

Petra did her best with the Weapons and shields but to no avail. Despite all her efforts the bridge took a direct hit. she targeted the Corona with the last Ion cannon and hit the aft section of the frigate and the ship stopped still.

Petra moved over to her mother...only to find her with a piece of metal running through her heart. Standing up after feeling no pulse Petra looked about the bridge for the next in command and realised she was the only one on the bridge standing. It dawned on her that she was in command with no other senior staff to take command.

Petra moved to the coms console. First she checked to see if the officer had activated the Distress Beacon. then she opened a ship wide com and issued the one command she never wished to give. "All Hands. This is the Bridge. Scuttle what you can destroy what you can't and abandon ship. Repeat All hands abandon ship."

Then she moved to the helm and set a new set of coordinates and set ramming velocity. Then Remembered nothing as a stabbing pain cut into her back and slammed into her head.
