If you still have an opening I would like to try a character as well.. I really am thinking about one of the Lysei. A handmaiden to the Lysein ambassador, but I would need more information about the Lysei first before I could finish the character make completely
If there is an opening still that is.. I realize I am starting a bit late.
Nah, it's fine and not to late.
The Lysei are humaniod, just....fishy. It's really hard to explain a picture in my head.

alright gamer, if you're lonely, you could make it so that the crates Rann and Syke are delivering is for the FFA or whataver the name of the organization is called. It could be a few explosives, power cells, weapons or something, nothing too big.
Just show up on Mars and gather the package. Maybe convince Syke to join you or something. (Rann wouldn't do it)
EDIT: Megil, if your character doesn't leave the university, I'll have Rann show up.

Splendid. The crates can contain primitive nuclear weapons.

j/k They'll contain dangerous gasses, used for mass murder.

Norton, Near research station
he kept circling the station, in the arrow. It was a huge ship, it had a huge laser cannon stolen from the rykar on it, and was made of solid titanium, making it the strongest and biggest ship on the fleet. There were over seven hundred people working on the arrow, and over ten thousand people in the entire fleet "i repeat research station are you getting this signal?"

Ok, just to post a lil ship info for the HDF (Human Defence Force). This has been roughly copied by the rest of the Milky Way inhabitants. List goes from largest to smallest.
Capital Ships
Battleship:
- Largest ship in the fleet
- Size can range from 3km to 5km long.
- Weapons onboard a battleship are capable planet killers
- Admirals generally are in charge of battleships
- Battleships move SLOW.
Battlecruiser:
- Second largest ship in the fleet
- Size can range from 1Km to 3km
- Generally Captains command these
- Effective for planet bombardment, also effective against other Battleships and Cruisers
- SLOW
Carrier and Random Transport Ships:
- Carriers are generally smaller then Battleships yet larger then Battlecruisers. Transport ships very, but few are bigger then a 1Km.
- No weapons other then light anti-fighter guns
- Generally captains are in charge here
- Carriers hold smaller ships (IE, frigates, barges, fighters/bombers) number depending on size.
Saturn Class Ships
Cruiser:
- Size can range from 2/3Km 1 1/2Km
- Anti-Ship, Anti-Fighter capable
- Slow yet more manuverable then Capital Ships
- Common transport ships
Empiracle Class Ships:
Corvette:
- Size is anywhere from 500m to 750m
- Primarily Anti-Fighter. However in large numbers can take on cruisers
- Manuverable, medium speed.
Frigates and Blockade Runners:
- Up to 500m
- Med-High Speed, manuverable
- Light cannons only effective against other frigates and fighters
- Most carry advance scout and emp systems
Fighters/Bombers:
- Fast, most manuverable
- Bombers only effective against larger ships
- Piloted by 3rd through 1st Lt.
- Carried by carriers

Sounds good except it's spelled Capital if you referring to the main city. Capitol refers to a building itself.

Here is the situation with technology and other terms used by pirates and merchants.
It costs forty times the regular amount of fuel to avoid going through the Asteroid belt.
Despite many attempts to make it safe, the Asteroid belt proved too unpredictable, and the pirates much too cunning in order to sweep them from the area.
So these days Human Police Ships escort Freighters, Carriers, and other merchant vessels that the pirates ambush.
Pirates can found not just there, but also in the rings of Saturn, in the deepest voids of space, anwhere were it's unlikely they would be found.
Certain Pirate Ships don't just wait for a ship to come through, but actually hire Leakers to sell their route info of their ships so the Pirates can strike them at their most vulnerable point, or the point with the gihest amount of booty.
Because most big booties are heavily guarded by Cruisers, Corvettes, etcetera, most Pirates who have been weakened by being unable to get goo bounty have sold their ships to Captains who already have Battlecruiser sized ships.
Technology:
Targeting Flag
A missile that is launched to a target, used to lock the target so smart missiles can dodge rocks and stuff, following the ship.
Electronic Disabler
A missile that when hits power-surges the entire area for an extremely long period of time, causing ships to shorten out, and one that don't shorten out ebcause of Power-Surge protection end up rebooting.
Oxygen Bomb
This is a bomb used the pentrate armor, as it can combust in space it can penetrate most heavy armor and cause holes to breach the hole, good ship-destroyer.
Censor Beacon
So waves don't really work in space to gather information because there are no atoms, or very few. Censor Veacon release heat energy in spherical ripple around where it was release to paint a very good image of their surroundings. The more advanced ones wok through holograms so they can see a virtual image of ships.
Booster
Launches a large boost of liquid nitrogen through the hole causing the entire engine to heat up, good for escapeing predators.
Terms:
Rock-bouncing
When a small ship runs out of fuel, it can run off interia by using it's intialy speed and rotating itself in air. With the proper equipment it can lands and launch itself from matter in space.
