RECENT HISTORY:
Ser Arris’s condition was probably caused by accelerated depressivaty from a long artificial sleep, after being pulled from the wreckage of a recent Cargo ship disaster at Mendra spaceport. After a satisfactory physical recovery, the subject was kidnapped in a violent attack on the hospital resulting in a number of fatalities. The subject seems to have escaped his kidnappers, and is now in possession of a spaceship, trading and fighting his way across the galaxy, seemingly in search of his lost identity.
In Privateer 2, there are no rules.
