An Untitled RECAP

And so it rises from the grave. I think I owe you a big, big summary, since this commercial break was about three months long. Part 2 will prolly come sometime tomorrow, 'cause it's like 10:00 where I am now.

PREVIOUSLY, ON UNTITLED
Jay, a scavenger operating outside the boundaries of the law, scavenges a dead ship belonging to the Wheel faction, a faction directly in opposition to the Deep Space Confederacy, the controllers of the majority of deep space. The Wheel under Admiral Landover show up and fire upon Jay's "Space Wasp", knowing he has stolen a piece of their highly secretive technology. The DSC under Stefan Sonett appear shortly after, and, thinking the Wheel are attacking them, fire back. A battle ensues that the DSC loses, even though Sonett manages to destroy Landover's battlecruiser, the EXPULSION. In the confusion, Jay manages to escape the system to the (relative) safety of Retale, the nearest planet.

There, Jay meets up with Weston Kerchow, a corporal in the DSC and Jay's friend since childhood. He shares with Jay what he knows about what happened at Carnegia, the planet around which Jay found the Wheel ship. Meanwhile, there is unrest in South Retale as the magistrate, Paulus Atter, seeks soveirgnty and independence from the DSC controlled north. Jay leaves North Retale for South just as DSC Colonel Garrett Scott arrives in his pursuit.

ALSO, PERHAPS A CHARACTER AND LOCATION REF. SHEET WOULD BE USEFUL

ORGANIZATIONS
DSC: Deep Space Confederacy. Confederation of hundreds of planets in deep space. Loosely bound and headed by a president. Strong regular army and navy supported by irregular auxillary forces from each of its planets.

Wheel: A splinter faction, but still powerful. Controls about half as many planets as the DSC. Technology is quite advanced for the time, and usually disintegrates into minute, unidentifiable particles when cut off from a power source, making it nearly impossible to retrieve.

LIVING PEOPLE:
Jay: "Protagonist". Scavenger and part outlaw. Stole a piece of Wheel technology. Pilots a bunker class fighter he calls the "Space Wasp"

Admiral Landover: An admiral of the Wheel Fleet. His ship, the EXPULSION, was destroyed in battle.

Captain Stefan Sonett: The captain of the DSCS-PRETORIA, a battlecruiser. He destroys Landover's EXPULSION during the action at Carnegia.

Corporal Weston Kerchow: DSC soldier and one of Jay's oldest friends. Leaks him info from time to time.

Colonel Garett Scott: DSC officer. In charge of the search for Jay, even though he doesn't know it's Jay he's looking for, just a bunker class fighter.

DEAD PEOPLE:
Alexi Perrobs: EXPULSION's comms. officer. Was killed when EXPULSION was destroyed by DSCS-PRETORIA

LOCATIONS:
Carnegia: Asteroid-belted planet. The Wheel battleship DELIVERANCE was stranded here. Site of "The Action at Carnegia", first hostilities between Wheel and DSC.

Retale: Temperate Planet. Divvied up into North and South. North is governed by DSC approved Chadwick Breton, South is managed by visionary magistrate Paulus Atter. See map.
