Some bounty hunters are easy to spot. Altair is no ordinary
bounty hunter. As commander of the Galactic League and the Community of Worlds,
Captain Altair protected the innocent worlds from aggressors. But Captain
Altair was more myth than legend. If she is a real person she lived for
thousands of years and hasn’t been seen for thousands more. If she ever existed
she is surely dead by now.
Rumors, unverified and probably unfounded, say Captain
Altair wears a body suit. As she ages or faces impossible odds, she finds a
replacement to continue the myth. They say it is the body suit that gives
Altair her powers. Nobody really knows. Whoever wears the suit becomes Altair,even if it is a man asked to fill her high heel boots.
While the fleet patrolled the Sagittarius Spiral Arm of the
galaxy, Altair disappeared forever. The official report said Captain Altair
retired after a long career. All we know is competent commanders followed in
her footsteps. The body of Altair was never found.
A talented bounty hunter on the flagship of the fleet
disappeared around the same time. His name was Obadiah. Almost to the day a new
bounty hunter arrived on the scene, a woman bounty hunter, a bounty hunter with
skills never seen before.
Now a bounty hunter has touched down on Pelican Bay, an
outpost near the galactic core. Gangs have murdered and raped around the colony
for years. The colony lives in fear. Now this strange bounty hunter has
arrived. If this bounty hunter is Obadiah converted into Altair, god help the
war lords terrorizing the colony. The last time a mysterious bounty hunter in a
body suit visited and outpost world under attack over 12,000 marauders were
dead in three days and only one woman is claimed to have killed them all.
Welcome back Captain Altair. Welcome to Pelican Bay.
Wonder who else will fill the shoes, when he dies.
