A career scout, Shipson mustered out with a Suleiman Class and a small mortgage to pay on it. He’s not the most reserved man, sometimes loud and boisterous, but he is certainly private about his past. Recently, he picked up a crew in the hopes of striking it rich in the spinward reaches. His dream is to one day command a private frigate or small escort, as part of a personal mercenary organization. Though he’s yet to have formed a true company, his ship, the Diamond Dog, will hopefully be the birthplaces of the careers of many aspiring mercenaries.
