Beschreibung

The Old Baron and her little crew are in trouble. On the run from Grailknight von Juntzt, the Baron was badly damaged. In order to raise the money for the necessary repairs, the team around Sternenreich deserter Günther von Richthofen accepts a job that turns out to be much more difficult than initially thought. Governor Talla Ozzynski, who manages the free trading station Pri-C5, operates an ore conveyor station on a moon of Rizon 325 without the knowledge of the Sternenreich, to which the contact has broken off for unknown reasons. Her son also works as a warehouse logistician at this station. In equal parts, out of fear for her child and out of fear that the Sternenreich will gain knowledge of her black-op, she sends the Baron to see what's going on. The crew around Captain Günther von Richthofen quickly realizes that it will not be easy to fulfill the mission. The station is refusing communication, the defenses are still active. Something's wrong on the third moon of Rizon 325. Captain Günther von Richthofen is a disillusioned deserter. Together with the clone couple Ryder and Hook, as well as pilot and hacker Alyhda, he makes his living on board the stolen and badly beaten Old Baron with mercenary jobs and tries to stay under the radar of the Sternenreich. However, this proves to be a lot harder than expected and the Reich isn't the only problem the crew of the Old Baron has to deal with. The "Red Rage", a devilish psi epidemic that turns the worst nightmares of the infected into a cruel reality, begins to spread in a mutated form.

Episode 1 – Rizon 325

A beep wakes me up. Immediately I know what will be heard after the signal. The synthetic voice of the Old Baron. The beeping always precedes when the artificial intelligence of my ship wants to inform me about relevant incidents. Recently, the ship choose a gentle, female voice for the announcements. Presumably, we humans respond better this way. Rising from my narrow bed, the lighting intensity in my quarters is increased, much too quickly, by Old Baron.Sadist. «Captain von Richthofen, please come to the bridge immediately. The governor of PRI-C5 wants to talk to you.» «Is that so?» As usual, the old hag will not let us land. She thinks a stolen Sternenreichs-destroyer should not be seen near her station. But we have no choice. The Old Baron is pretty battered. We are badly in need of repairs, supplies and ammunition. If we had the money, we´d even buy half a swarm of her interception drones. But it will only last for two or three pieces at best. «I'm on my way. Give me a minute» I could talk to the governor from here, but I want her to see me standing proudly on the bridge. I am quite vain in this regard. Rushing through the dimly lit corridors, bypassing a blue glowing coolant puddle and then a broken plastic strut protruding from the left wall, I finger the on control panel of my com unit. A slight tingling sensation and the bio-monitoring interface that was implanted in my body by the Sternenreich injects nutrients and circulatory stimulants. It annoys me that Old Baron still calls me «Captain von Richthofen».
