Skylow, Tor
this former Imperial Navy officer convinced her crew - a group of customs inspectors on tour - to defect. They took over control of their frigate, and placed anyone who chose not to defect into the escape pods. The pods were jettisoned near Travnin, with Skylow informing the authorities of their whereabouts. The Empire responded to the defection by claiming Skylow and her crew cruelly left the Imperials to die. Skylow and her crew then fled to the Yelsain system, where they refitted the frigate and renamed it the Counter Puncher. They turned to waylaying Imperial supply ships, taking their cargoes but leaving the crews alive and intact. The goods they stole were then sold on Yelsain for cheap prices. In return, the natives of Yelsain hid Skylow's team whenever they were pursued. She has had several cyborg implants added to her athletic body, but the exact modifications are not known. She is the prototypical noble pirate, down to her flowing red hair and lavish dress.
