Welcome aboard! That said I'm dispensing with the pirate talk for now.

This is Galleons of the Stars, a tale of pirates, treasure, orphans, and alcohol all set on 16th century sailing ships. The catch? It's all taking place in the 41st century! That's right we're talking about space pirates...okay who snickered! Don't make me make you walk the plank.

Still I've dithered enough and I'll say this...while you really should read the story, it's got more of the little details you love, reading this will help you jump right in with the latest installment leaving you to read the rest whenever you've got a spare moment. Trust me, just because you know what happens doesn't mean you've missed something...


Caution: Spoilers Ahead!

Alrighty our story so far is this...

Six orphans escaped and orphanage and signed on with a pirate lord, thinking it was their chance at freedom. Instead, one of them is dead, one of them is missing and eye and forever marked by her betrayal of the rest, and the others have changed in ways visible and not. The pirate lord has proven to alternate between ruthless and noble, drunken and sober, brutal and fair. He's uncouth, immoral, and strangely charismatic.

After recently embroiling themselves with a battle against a Fleet flagship and enlisting an admiral to their cause, the crew of the Bloody Muse has headed for the pirate stronghold of Safe Harbor, which is anything but, to ralley the pirates for battle. But new challenges dawn on the horizon as the crew must first look to internal affairs yet again...

Characters and Helpful Information.

Crew of the Bloody Muse

Angelo Steel- One of the legendary pirate lords, captain and architecht of the Bloody Muse and one of only three Arcex pirates in history, Angelo appears to fall short of his legend at first glance. His history is shrouded in secrecy although it is later revealed he is the son of the last pirate High Lord, Angel Blade(deceased), and a creature of myth and legend, the Steel Siren. The current keeper of the Fobidden Knowledge, Angelo knows the locations to all six vaults, including the 'Vault of the Sleeper'.

Ambrois- The son of Angelo, a secret that must be kept, he's the opposite of his father in many ways. Having become the leader of the orphans after Jasper's death, Ambrois shoulders a lot of responsibilities and deals with internal struggles. Involved with Jade, he depends on Donovan for advice and is constantly annoyed by Saul.

Jade- Daughter of the pirate lord Red Savage(deceased) Jade, is the identical twin sister of Jasper(deceased). Jade is psychically talented but she doesn't need her powers to find out things the rest of the crew can't. She's observent and an excellent listener, able to charm information out of people others can't. In love with Ambrois, she seeks a way to drive him off in order to keep him, and herself, safe from those that would use them to get to Angelo.

Saul- The youngest of the orphans, Saul is the eternal 'little brother' and is more trouble than a sack of enraged cats. Slim, light, and full of boundless curiousity and endless energy, Saul's exploits and explorations often unearth pieces of the past that would do better buried. This quick little theif is fond of things that are not his and is having a battle of wills with Angelo's coat, determined to raid it's pockets and keep all his fingers. Currently, his main focus is playing a deadly game of intrigue with Cobalt.

Donovan- This canin youth is the sanest person on the ship, the anchor and focal point for the others. A steadfast, loyal, and true friend, he seems to have appointed himself Saul's keeper and is constantly looking out for the wirey youth. Tough, strong, and with the keenest nose on the ship, Donovan often sees to the heart of the matter simply by not getting worked up about things. He'd die for any one of his friends without a second thought and is the best backup in any situation.

Cobalt- She's betrayed the crew once, nearly killing Angelo and putting the ship in ruins before running off to sign on with their enemies. Now she's back, apparently realizing that despite taking her eye, Angelo is a lot better than the alternative. She's a scheaming, devious, conniving, and not very nice person. But at the moment she seems to be on the side of the crew.

Cherry- A canin lass that signed on when Angelo and crew made port in Tallistown, Cherry is a no-nonsense ready for action girl. Be it cracking heads or deflaiting egos, her abrasive attitude and get to buisness ethics stand her in good stead. She absolutely loaths Cobalt and thinks Saul is an utter fool. She manages with Ambrois and Jade, seems to ignore Donovan, and delights in showing dry wit by needling Angelo.

The Bloody Muse- The ship herself has a soul and a mind. In life she was Celestine, the wife of Angelo and mother of Ambrois. Now she resides in the ship to stay close to her love and help him through difficult moments. Usually ignored, she doesn't talk to anyone other than Angelo or Ambrois.
