Because the world needs more ethnically varied heroines, I present, in glorious 12 colors...

Captain Shade Starslammer, space vixen and galaxy protector extraordinaire!






And since it's supposed to be usable in a game, I've prepared a background for our heroine!

Vital Statistics:

Age: 374 (Galactic Standard Years- she won't tell you Earthers any more than that)

Weight: 56.6 kg (or 21 kg on her asteroid of choice, Gallows Deep V)

Height: 5'8"- 6' (depending on whether she wants to wear her favorite stilettos or not)

Marital Status:  Widowed (Brad Starslammer, murdered)

Children:  None

Likes:  Fast starships, Trans-Galaxy StarChips (tm), Revenge

Dislikes: Children, Drugs, New Praetorians, Dungbats (don't ask)

History:  Shade Starslammer (born Shade Jones-Gundarsson) was born on the moon colony of Io in the year 2952 to politically influential parents, the identity of which are unknown and presumed dead in the Occupation Wars of 2964.  Raised in a privileged lifestyle and with a strong sense of right and wrong, Shade soon began devoting her time to caring for the poor and uneducated of Io, much to the chagrin of her parents- who were determined that her path should lead to the Earthforce Senate.  Shortly after the attack on Io, however, Shade's future would be changed forever when a handsome young rogue named Bradley 'Blaster' Starslammer singlehandedly defeated the invasion force from New Praetoria (formerly Europa).  Impressed by his skill and intrigued by his charm, Shade decided that with Io in ruins and her parents dead, she was going to make the galaxy a better place and soon joined Earthforce- not as a politician, but as a scout. 

Venturing far and wide on surveillance missions for Earthforce, Shade had many adventures and rapidly rose in rank until she caught the eye of Brad Starslammer, who charmed her through the wedding gates some time in 2974.  After only 4 years of marriage, however, Bradley met his end when the New Praetorians returned to Io for another assault.  He was murdered in his sleep and Shade was presumed dead as well.  A few months later a smuggling ship began attacking New Praetorian installations, inflicting heavy damage to their mining operations.  The ship was called Revenge, and her captain was none other than Shade Starslammer.  She vows to make the New Praetorians pay for their crimes and continues to threaten their expansion well into the 2990's.  Her current haunt is Gallows Deep V, a space station in the Gallows Deep asteroid belt and favorite of smugglers and rogues the universe over.

Alright, I hope i'm not too soon seeing its not midnight yet, but i guess there won't be anymore entries.

After careful conscideration I have a chosen a winner. Some excellent entries and I had trouble deciding in the end since ProgZmax's character background rocked and he almost made me sway my decision .. but in the end big brother's technical brilliance pulled him through.

So the winner is big brother. Congrats, I think lots of people wanna be like you when they grow up
