This Hammer frigate, built in the Karsan League, is currently operated by a group of Terrans, assisted by a few Kerrn. It was previously named the Jugenthi, and was the property of Lord Tweesdale, an anti-Kerrn noble and part of the coup against the Count of Burano.

The nominal captain is Lord Jason McClellan.

The current crew consists of 3 engineers, a pilot and an astrogator, and 5 of Baron Chan's neices.

• chief engineer Ken

• Kerrn, age 31, red eye-patches, illegal Crucis

• paths Born Kahlakesh; Ay-Gangah; Reegah; Crao; Solzjah; Komm; Kerrn-Ammah; Verseeay; Lktreek
  

• Engine Ops 80%, Mechanical Repair 60%, Electrical Repair/Electronics 60%, Helm 20%, Sensor Ops 20%, Commo Ops 10%, Fusion Dynamics 25%, Physics 20%, Chemistry 20%, Vacc and Zero-G 40%, Fist 55%, Grapple 65%, Energy Weapon 40%, Grenade Launcher 35%

• background and notes:  born in a vreck creche at Omshiip, and worked his way up through the military. Ken is capable of building a fusion reactor (given the right equipment). He's already got a bit more radiation damage that is good for him, though. He was part of the three-ship task force that rescued the Terrans. He's calm, capable and logical; dedicated to his race, ship and friends, but never sentimental, and capable of ruthlessness. 

• engineer Vrrob

• Kerrn, age 28, green eye-patches 

• paths: Born Kahlakesh; Ay-Gangah; Crao; Solzjah; Ahnveel; Veps; Kerrnstruct; Lktreek

• Engine Ops 60%, Mechanical Repair 60%, Electrical Repair/Electronics 60%, Weapon Ops 10%, Physics 15%, Vacc and Zero-G 40%, Anvil 40%, Stentor 40%, Fist 60%, Grapple 35%, Energy Weapon 40%, Grenade Launcher 35%, Rocket Launcher 20%, Cannon 10%, First Aid 35%, Dodge 30%, Sneak 20%, Spot Hidden 35%  

• background and notes:  born in a vreck creche at Omshiip, served in both Hammer and Anvil units -- including some experience as a stentor. He was part of the three-ship task force that rescued the Terrans. He is strong even for a Kerrn (STR 30). He's got a healthy respect for power, radiation, heat, etc. Vrrob gets most of the repair duties aboard the Pride of Vinland.

• engineer Vahlly

• Kerrn, age 17, yellow eye-patches 

• paths Born Kahlakesh; Ay-Gangah; Crao; Solzjah; Anveel; Kerrnstruct

• Engine Ops 50%, Mechanical Repair 45%, Electrical Repair/Electronics 35%, Conceal 25%, Vacc and Zero-G 30%, Anvil 60%, Fist 60%, Grapple 35%, Energy Weapon 50%, Grenade Launcher 45%, Rocket Launcher 35%, First Aid 40%, Dodge 30%, Sneak 20%, Spot Hidden 45%  

• background and notes:  born in a vreck creche at Omshiip, served in both Hammer and Anvil units. He was part of the three-ship task force that rescued the Terrans. Often found tinkering with, and usually improving, the ship's systems. As junior engineer, he gets most of the maintenance duties. Fond of keeping secrets, even sometimes things that shouldn't be secret ...

• pilot Ned

• Kerrn, age 25, white eye-patches, illegal Crucis

• paths:  Born Kerrn, Solzjah, Ahnveel, Komm, Kerrn-Ammah
  

• Helm 40%, Astrogation 20%, Sensor Ops 20%, Commo Ops 20%, Pilot Grav Vehicle 20%, Anvil 50%, Energy Weapon 40%, Grenade Launcher 35%, Rocket Launcher 45%, First Aid 40%, Dodge 30%, Sneak 20%, Spot Hidden 35%   

• background and notes:  born in a Diazspherah ghetto, and has spent much of his life working for human Hammer lords. He's more likely to "get" jokes and allusions made by the Terrans, and is more likely to realize what humans would like in terms of food, environment, comfort, etc. He's got a fair amount of experience of warfare as it is fought by the Karsan League. Ned was taken aboard at Egry to replace Kahptain Krant (who was travelling on towards Omshiip).
  

• astrogator Julius

• Kerrn, age 29, light-blue eye-patches, illegal Crucis

• paths:  Born Kahlakesh, Reegah, Tuug, Komm, Eyns, Eltee, Kerrn-Ammah, Sguridee

• skills:  Helm 20%, Astrogator 50%, Sensor Ops 20%, Weapon Ops 10%, Commo Ops 35%, Computer Use 25%, Electrical Repair/Electronics 30%, Mechanical Repair 35%, Operate Heavy Machinery 15%, Pilot Grav Vehicle 30%, Vacc and Zero-G 35%, Fist 60%, Grapple 65%, Dodge 40%, First Aid 45%, Sneak 30%, Spot Hidden 65%
  

• background and notes:  born in a vreck creche at Omshiip; was never Anvil-trained. He's served as a small craft pilot, and as an officer in communications, astrogation, helm and sensors on various Kerrn-operated Hammer vessels. He was part of the three-ship task force that rescued the Terrans. He's polite, sharp-eyed, watchful, rarely raises his voice, and as serious as a heart attack. After serving with him for several weeks, it's pretty clear that his main job aboard the Pride of Vinland is counter-intelligence.
