The Rebellion Is Born

Universally scrutinised, for the harbouring of rogue smuggling factions, savage mercenary fucktards, and those power corrupt Dominion Overlords, it's here in this shitty region of the Galaxy, that we begin our adventure. Known as The Karataq Zone this crap hole is Revered for those legendary blood thirsty battles, the kinda place where the quick and the sharp survive, and the recklessly inept die. and usually pretty darn quick too!

Now,Jack Vance is certainly no stranger to the crazy of these here parts, and with a bucket full of risky battles 'n' chaotic escapes it really is a wonder how he's still alive. Because Jack's got this self fulfilling death wish you see, the kind for being all gung-ho and balls out. You know, the rogue warrior daredevil type? Complete with a quick witted response and that silver tongued cheek, he's always ready to talk himself out from all kinds of bull-shit. But with all this said he is a damn good fighter pilot, in fact one of the best, I'd say! But when it comes down to just how the fuck he's managed to survive this far? I guess that'll all be down to good old lady luck. -- well so far, at least.

I am the 'VIXI' (Virtual Intergalactic eXperimental Interface) AI Protocol for the Deep Galactic Vessel named 'The Mongoose'.. The ships commander Jack Vance nicknamed me 'Star Monkey' because he says, that back in the day on his home planet they would "put a monkey into a rocket ship & send it to the stars", to monitor the success of their first space explorations. So Jack reckoned that as I was the first of the (VIXI) AI protocols to be put into a 'Rocket' Ship & sent to the stars that this nickname kind of makes sense & that ....... "I am Star Monkey"
