Character History
There is a story. A story that involves a grand experiment by Crey Industries, and their attempt to reach the stars via commercial rocket ships. It was to be Earth's first attempt at faster-than-light travel with experimental technologies. The Imperial was to be the crown jewel of Crey-or it would be, if they publicized it. Since Crey doesn't believe in bad publicity, they kept everything quiet. The point was to glory in the return trip with proof of their journey-perhaps some rocks from Pluto.
The Imperial made it out of Earth orbit and that was the last time it was ever seen. The crew was presumed dead. And for years, that seemed to be the end of it. Crey concentrated on other things, and in time, the Imperial was forgotten. At least, by everyone on Earth.
The story goes that the Imperial was not destroyed, but had succeeded beyond Crey's wildest imaginings, having reached into the far side of the galaxy. The story says that the crew encountered aliens who worshiped technology as a god, and it was a jealous good indeed. The crew would not convert, and was slain in sacrifice-all but one. The one enthusiastically embraced the religion, and rose to become a Dread Bishop, to be sent back to the world of his birth to convert the planet to the true faith of the God in the Machine-or to end it.
