Hey everyone! I just locked in my new character application for Silas Drake and I'm looking to get him into some threads.
Silas is a rugged, deeply pragmatic ex-SoroSuub Asset Recovery Specialist turned off-the-books deep-space ranger. He is a Kuat-trained shipbuilder and an elite corporate-trained hostage negotiator. He takes the high-risk contracts that governments and factions can't handle legally or safely—tracking down missing explorers in hyper-lethal environments (toxic/volcanic worlds, radioactive debris fields) or penetrating active warzones to extract high-value assets and hostages.
To ensure absolute precision under pressure, Silas runs an entirely automated operation with zero room for human error—his ship is crewed completely by highly specialized droids.

What He Brings to a Thread:
- The Fleet: His primary mobile base is The Wayward Horizon (a customized VCX-100 built like a stealthy, sealed mobile trauma center with chemical scrubbers and radiation overlays). For heavy combat blockades, he rolls out The Last Resort (a tanky, heavily armed YV-929 armed freighter).
- Tactical Kit: He uses an Aegis-VII vacuum-sealed hazmat armor rig, a close-quarters breaching scattergun, an Aegis Containment Pod (a repulsor gurney that seals a wounded player inside its own safe atmosphere), and specialized tools like Quantum Life-Pulse scanners, Cryo/Ion grenades, and sonic micro-cutters to breach dead ships safely, and a variety of technical rescue and extraction gear to get the job done right.
- Operational Style: Silas is a pure free-agent. He operates openly under his real name with high-level corporate contractor credentials. No fake names, no disguises. He treats his work like an exclusive, word-of-mouth service paid in untraceable credits, though he is always open to alternative forms of payment.
Open Thread Hooks / Looking For:
- Corporate Boardrooms & Faction Leaders: Did a prototype ship crash inside hostile Sith or Jedi airspace? Silas is the perfect off-the-books ghost contractor to slip past blockades using advanced electronic bafflers, breach the hull, secure your data, and rescue your VIPs without leaving a political paper trail.
- Underworld / Criminal Cartels: Have you taken a wealthy senator or rival cartel boss hostage? Silas can be hired as a neutral, third-party negotiator to handle the Kidnap & Ransom (K&R) exchange smoothly. Alternatively, if a heist goes sideways, he can deploy his "Vanguard Coalition" (an on-call team of elite NPC specialists) to provide heavy breaching muscle and pull you out.
- Explorers & Jedi: If your character is currently stranded on a hyper-lethal, plague-quarantined, or unstable volcanic world with failing life support, Silas can trace your heartbeat through the hull and drag you out.
