Lux: Lux is a fair haired, handsome man, with pale ice colored eyes. He has a small black pouch which he keeps tied around his neck and hidden beneath his shirt at all times. Don't ask him about it, he's killed people over it before. His history with the Kore is shrouded in mystery. At one point he seems to have just appeared, and has been one of the most loyal and driven followers ever found. There is little he won't do to finish the job, and he usually does it with a slightly amused smile.
The Erebus: Is a ship specifically designed for attack. It's defenses aren't the best, but it is fast, it's powerful, and it has a large device built on the front, somewhat like a pair of jaws, that are made to crush into the hull of an enemy ship. Lux's usual way of doing business is to smash into an enemy ship, let exposure kill all those inside, and then with specialized suits, raid the shell of a ship for the needed contents. He doesn't like leaving survivors, necessary or not.

Lux lazed in his captain chair, looking over the wide window of space before him. The Gilgamesh slowly coming into view. "The great tortoise of a ship, no matter the size a good set of jaws can still bite into the meat." Lux fingered the string that rested against his neck which lead to the small black pouch hidden beneath his shirt. "Dreken, speed up a bit, I'm losing patience."
"Yes captain," the officer replied as he pushed a few buttons and pushed the ship forward a bit faster.
Lux smiled, his handsome face looking almost angelic, belying the true nature inside, hidden from crew and kore alike, or at least most of the kore. "It will be good to see Pendari again, no? She'd look rather pretty, floating soft and lifeless in the air of space, so long as nothing explodes, of course."
"Yes, Captain." Dreken replied again.
"Do you have a coin? Dreken?" Lux asked, holding out a gloved hand.
The crewman nodded and after a quick inner debate, tossed over the more valuable coin of his pocket change.
Lux caught it up in his hand and rolled it around his fingers, an odd look coming over his face. "Rather comforting." He flipped the coin like an expert and caught it in his palm. "Speed the ship up again. We will bite within the hour."

As the Erebus reached the Gilgamesh, it floated around the larger ship for a moment, before choosing a point of attack. The armor was weakest at the civilian section.
Erebus bit into the Gilgamesh, and began to saw away at the shielding. The grinding noise was heard throughout the ship, like thunder and screams. It was only a matter of half an hour to an hour, before the hull would break open.
((The Gilgamesh will be destroyed from all areas except the prison section, and the bridge, both of which will automatically seal off once the hull is breached. All other areas will be unable to support human life.))

"Captain, the Starblade is firing on us!" Dreken reported from his station.
A smile slowly spread across Lux's handsome face. "Is it now? By all means, my friend, return fire, but continue with the destruction of the hull."
The Erebus was then rocked as the torpedo shot into the jaws, a screeching sound echoing as the blades were pulled from the hull.
Lux's blue eyes darkened. "Shoot a return gift to the starblade, Dreken, and latch onto the hull. We will break through."
The blast to the jaws had done more to assist than deter the Erebus. As the ship turned to bite into the hull again, it broke through.

"The hull has been breached, sir." Dreken said, glancing back to Lux. "But the Starblade is sending heavy fire. Our sheilds will only take so much."
Lux smiled, "only a matter of time then. Ignore the Gilgamesh for a moment, and turn on the Starblade. Let's remind the crew why my ship is the one more feared."

Several of the Erebus' monitors erupted into static.
"good evening, crew of unnamed a*****e vessel. This is Captain Eric Chase of the Star's Light. I would be delighted to inform you that you are stomach bacteria, and I hope Pendari ensures that you all die screaming." The man's voice gave pause for a second, "I would urge you to power down your weapons before I am forced to take decisive action on behalf of innocents aboard the Gilgamesh."
As the man spoke, the Star's Light showed on the Erebus' long-rage scanner, rapidly approaching at some quarter of lightspeed.

Lux gave a soft laugh. "Dreken, open fire on the ship when it arrives, and continue attack on the Gilgamesh. If I remember the layout of the ship correctly, there should still be a group of them in both the prison and the bridge area. I suggest we start breaking open the prison now."

Eulalia Danae Lux gave a soft laugh. "Dreken, open fire on the ship when it arrives, and continue attack on the Gilgamesh. If I remember the layout of the ship correctly, there should still be a group of them in both the prison and the bridge area. I suggest we start breaking open the prison now." The Star's Light blazed into range, as eric's voice came over the comm again. "Last chance. Surrender now or we rape you."

Lux smiled, "Back down now, and we don't bring the rest of the Kore down on your back for the rest of your pathetically short life."

Eulalia Danae Lux smiled, "Back down now, and we don't bring the rest of the Kore down on your back for the rest of your pathetically short life." "Please. The Kore ain't d**k to us, kid. You act like you're the first crime sydicate we've tangled with." His statement was punctuated with the Erebus rocking violently, followed by the thudding sound of explosions on it's hull, then a dark red blur blazing past the front, "That's a warning shot. I think I hit your comm array with that, so you can try to tell your Kore butt buddies who I am, but it's a coin toss."

"It is the farthest reaching force in the known galaxy, child. There is no escaping them." Lux chuckled, "Dreken fire the pulse."
For a moment the Erebus began to glow blue as the small points covering the ship began to charge up with a violent wave of energy. The Energy branched out, connecting in an orb and then pulsed outward in every direction, falling over every ship it came across like a large, glowing, blue net, that damaged electronics, shields and weakened hulls.

On Eric's end, there was violent swearing, and several insults, slurs and expletives concerning the content of Lux's charecter, and the sexual habits of his mother and sister. The Star's Light had a noticeable drop in speed as it circled around. "OH ******** NO! YOU SHOT MY SHIP!"

Lux chuckled, although his left hand moved around slightly agitated. "My mother was pure blooded hell spawn."
Soon after he said it, the Erebus released a massive amount of black spider-like bots into space. The hords of the creatures jetted towards the ships, drills ready to puncture through hulls, and destroy the guns on the outside of the ships.
