Overview
A notorious pirate wanted by many sovereign countries and megacorporations, The Golden Hind speaks with a British accent and performs ruthless and daring heists. Upon her powerful assault ship, The Flying Englishman, she hits everything from discreet smugglers to heavily armed corporate cargo transports. She balances the hatred of many powerful factions by living on the edge, seeking the thrill. Her services are never cheap and she demands a king's ransom for getting personally involved in anything, but offers throwaway advice and talk with relative freedom.
Notes For A GM
- Her UK National SIN is Franceska Drake. She was exiled from Tir Na Nog and a Tier 2 Matrix Search reveals that she was accused of high treason. Tier 3 reveals that the actual specifics are clouded.
- TGH values her freedom and independence above all others. She raids and plunders almost everyone equally, only leaving the United Kingdom untouched.
- She cares about her crew and will go to decent lengths to keep them safe. If one of them is kidnapped, she will arrange for a lucrative shadowrun to rescue them.
- While a wildcat and living on the edge, she's also not suicidal and will avoid doing open assaults on heavily fortified locations. She usually looks for a weak point before attacking.
- Survived so far by pissing everyone off equally and banking on her competence. Plenty of factions have a bounty on her, but she's also often hired to screw other factions over by the same people.
