Black Velvet

Captain Black Velvet
Notorious Pirate – Wanted by Union Authorities for heinous crimes of Piracy, also wanted by the Nul (since 5021) for heinous crimes of piracy.

True Identity unknown. Always masked. First appearance 4501 and very active around the Igras Expanse. She then disappears into the Igras Nebulae while being pursuit by Union Military Frigates and is assumed dead. She suddenly resurfaces around 5020 with the same ship but with visible upgraded of Nul weaponry and a few unknown technology add-ons. She flies an Armed Kartanian Freighter called the Silver Streak. She is among the most cold blooded and vicious pirates and even feared among her own Peer. Some say she flew with the Red Dragon, Meateater and a few others for a while but these reports can not be substantiated because while the Silver Streak was seen, there are no recent reports on the Red Dragon at all.

---CLASSIFIED-

Captain Black Velvet was a Saran National and a NAVINT operative working under the Secret Identity of Black Velvet to capture Pirates that made the Open Space area around the Igras Nebula a dangerous place. After her mission was completed the name was secretly retired. NAVINT and Cherubim resurrected this name and the Silver Streak in 5020. This time Eric Olafson Captain of the USS Tigershark took on the role of the masked pirate and his ship became, thanks to the marvelous Janus Device the Silver Streak. The heinous crimes were just falsified reports, carefully planted by NAVINT. Eric Olafson's mission was to hunt Pirates in Freespace and especially the notorious Red Dragon. As Black Velvet, Captain Eric (Erica) Olafson [1] neutralized 27 Pirates, destroyed 7 Pirate bases, was the initiator of the changes on Sin 4, Purchased Alvor's Cove, blew up two Smelter Moons and awakened the First Engineer of the Kartanians. Captain Black Velvet also undertook a long expedition into the Downward sector.

The Identity of Pirate Black Velvet was permanently retired after Erica became the Dark One and retired from the Union Navy.
