Welcome to FTL Quest! The Federation is caught in civil war against a Rebel Alliance of human supremacists. The rebels are led by the illustrious Admiral Zhukov, commander of the prototype warship "Mother One" that's been smashing through Federation outposts and scattering entire fleets. If the rebels can't be stopped, the Federation will have no choice but to capitulate to these madmen, and humanity will find itself in open conflict with every alien race in the universe, including even our allies the Engi and Zoltan.
You are Captain Alan Longo of the Kestrel, a lightly armed space freighter. On most days, you're...
>A civilian driver, moving merchant goods from planet to planet with a regular C-class operating license. (+rep with Civilians, Federation and Engi, -rep with Pirates, regular starting crew)
>A smuggler, well used to moving risky wares through seedier sectors. (+rep with Smugglers, Pirates and Slugs, -rep with Federation and Zoltan, access to exotic starting crew at a discount)
>A Federation captain, managing a single link in a great supply train spanning galaxies. (+rep with Civilians, Federation, Zoltan and Engi, -rep with Rebel Alliance, Rockmen, Slugs, Pirates and Smugglers, access to exotic starting crew at a discount)

On most days you're a smuggler, well used to moving risky wares such as military grade weapons, space drugs or even slaves to those who pay well. The profit is worth the risks and occasional betrayals, and though you've gotten into some pretty hairy situations before, your loyal crew have had your back through thick and thin.
Choose any combination of these races for your starting crew, these are the guys who have been with you for the long haul and have complete loyalty to you and your mission. You can pick two.
Race (making a non-human crewmember costs 10 extra scrap)
>Human (Just a regular ole' human, learns skills quickly)
>Slug (Enhanced senses from slug telepathy, fragile)
>Mantis mercenary (Great fighter, scary fast, inefficient at other tasks due to having blades for hands)
>Rockman mercenary (Immune to fire, damage resistance, slow moving)
Give them names and describe them if you want, otherwise I will fill in the gaps.
