These men came together on the IAV Ming Trahn and immediately began an intensive training regimen that included much simulator work and then live sessions with the ship itself. Both men were good with guns, but neither had a record that would seem to recommend them for advanced or special service. Rounding off the crew were the two gunnery specialists, Jack McAllister, a young man from the Rim, and Gaeth McCoy, an old salt whose service jacket looked far too clean and empty for any NCO of his age and experience. A ‘little person’ who all the same was renowned for his successes with the ‘gentler sex’, he was also a rehabilitated Independent who had served as ground crew for the small Independent Space Corps, having taken advantage of the offered amnesty at the end of the war.

These stingships, as they were called, were minimally crewed (4-6 men), but heavily armed, and had never been seen before.

The men reported aboard IAV Ming Trahn, the flagship of the Border Fleet, stationed just off Persephone, under the direct command of Admiral Ling Brett Meyer, and the project direction of Dr. On January 19, 2519, a group of Alliance Fleet personnel were brought together for a new top-secret project called Codeword: Archangel.

It's a long read (had to break it into two articles to make it fit), but if you like the Firefly/Serenity Universe, or you're just curious, feel free to dive right in. This is the treatment of the first three 'episodes' (more like seasons, or at the very least, full length feature films) of narrative generated in my Play By Email (pbem) campaign from a little over a year ago. ![]()
