Having gotten all the ST IAPs I decided to give my favorite captain a fresh start on my tablet.
Kier'Bri Stormraven is a recent graduate of the Thulun Institute of Truth (from my fan fic, sort of a CIA/State department military academy, runs parrallel to regular naval Academy but with a curriculum geared more towards Intelligence/Diplomatic work than mainline Naval/Military service.) Her father had been a long time Free Trader and Special Operative for House Thulun and she starts with his custom ship the Vindicator.
As usual I'm making her a Military Officer, special abilities are to my liking with the Surveillance ability for contracts and discounted promotions. However I'm going to use the Custom Character designer to set her abilities and skills up, unfortunately the designer doesn't allow for swapping class special abilities so no "fixing" the Spy class
lol
I decide she's young smart and attractive with truly outstanding coordination/dexterity, but a bit on the weak side initially, also as a freshly minted officer fresh from school her starting skills are going to be on low side (they trained the basics now she's got to develope them on the job)
So starting stats are:
Explore 1 (why oh why must I waste that point in a skill I absolutely will never ever use?)
Pilot 3 (time spent on her fathers ship adds to the institutes training)
Negotiate 1
Tactics 3 (her background pre Institute helps this)
Stealth 1
Warrior 1
Intimidate 1
Charisma 12
Wisdom 12
Quickness 16
Strength 6 (raising this won't affect my level and with the others where they are I won't have to worry about them for some time, just gotta avoid boarding and mutinies untill I can get her in shape
)
Now for the Vindicator her fathers custom ship.
Hull 12
Armor 3
Engines 24
Sails 19
Crew 45
Cargo 55
Guns 21
Torps 0
Good cargo size allows for early merchanting, engines and guns make it a decent gunbunny ship if forced to fight. Torps are expensive, harder to replace and unreliable in combat so...
Now then I select the extra starting officer button that gives me a MO second officer and I'm off to clear the quadrant of those Rychart snakes that killed her father and their syndicate friends.

I spotted a stardock closed rumor on Munaitti Settlement which would get me a Spy to replace ol turd lip. Altairus, the other Indy world next to Munaitti had been running an Artifact shortage for a while but after my early troubles getting started I'd been hesitant to try making the run that far out loaded with Alien/Pirate attracting goodies. Deciding it was time for a bold move I managed to grab 53 Artifacts from Thulun Prime and topped off with W-F headed out into the deep wild. Fortune was with me as only encountered 2 Rychart pirates during trip out that I happily blew the engines off of before looting their cargo and setting the salvage beacons. Got a decent payday from the Artifacts and picked up my new Spy officer (after remembering to give ol turd lip the boot, had to land twice
