Information Known by Arkangel Society

Formerly a Lady Commander (and Head of Engineering) in the Imperial Navy, Octavia Viria Lupus and her Dynasty are new arrivals to Arkangel, having claimed their warrant while on salvage duty. They found an armada of ships drifting through space, now crewed only by the dead and, as a group, claimed one single ship as their own personal share of the take. With that ship, unknown to the Imperial Navy, came a Rogue Trader warrant. So now Lupus and crew are across the line, starting anew, for better or worse. But still in their Naval blues.

Lineage

Octavia Viria Lupus is the (imaginatively named) eighth daughter of the then Planetary Governor of Selix Prime (since deceased), part of the Virii - a clan of powerful planetary nobles with a nasty reputation.

Rumours

• Very precise when on duty. Chaotic drunken dervish when off duty.
• The Rogue Trader warrant was assigned by drawing lots. Lupus has never confirmed if she won or lost.
• She says she's the black sheep of her family. Don't ask her about her missing brother, or his connection to the notorious heretic Commodore, Norfolk.
• Likes engineering a little too much for a lady.

Quotes

• "I see the Navy finally bothered to turn up, they must have heard that the Drop Bar has some mean cocktails. Though their RT seems alright for a Blue Puke." - Cartwright
• "The difference between an upstanding Imperial fleet officer and a gleeful pirate is usually about six weeks beyond the Line. Seems about right so far." - Mac
• "Not bad for Navy. She's got a decent crew about her, and that has to count for something. Still, she'll soon learn that being a Rogue Trader is more about what you do down the gravity well than on the boat." - Lord-Captain Romeles Blair
• "Definitely the best of the bunch. And a hugger, which actually surprised and delighted me." - Stacy
• "I know what its like to deal with a stain upon the honour of the Service. No jokes or comments, if you need us, we will be there." - Cartwright
• "I've yet to interact with Lord Captain Lupus much, but we fought side by side against an invading force and she acquitted herself incredibly well. She also has beautiful guns" - Alexandra Euphemia Blake
• "Too early for me to get a proper feel yet, but her and her dynasty certainly seem competent so far. And suitably chaotic where appropriate to be a good fit for Arkangel." - Friedrich Sternenlicht
• "You already feel like you belong. Maybe you are home." - Missionary Stenberg
• "Almost like a mirror image of myself - Not a Rogue Trader by choice; has a favourite sibling, and one who needs a good slap down; has assembled a competent crew; and puts on a good spread. And if you tell her I said that, I will deny it." - Lord-Captain Romeles Blair
• "The Lord Captain has yet to come under my scalpel, which shows a respectable degree of competence. Her crew seem to be well managed which is testament to her leadership." - Azrael Schwarzekappel
• "Now you know the truth of this place and the truth of compliance. Consider not the family you have but the family you choose..." - Ambrose Cordell Tollman
• "She brings some class to our band that only improves us in the Emperor's light." - Maximillion
• "Your Dynasty has made quite the splash into our company, and stayed the course… where next, Lord-Captain?" - Stenberg
• "All I'm saying is you missed out on a stylish tattoo from yours truly." - Slate "Scrapjack" Duster
• "We're not very alike at all but I'm glad we're friends. Also, I'm glad she's the one of them that became Lord Captain. Not just because of the coat, which is delightful but because she's good at it." - Stacy
• "A Lord Captain that I have only seen panic once and that took hallucinations induced by severe head trauma. An valuable insight into her character" - Surgeon General Schwarzekappel

Inspirations: It was said once that 'Imperial Navy wear excellent swooshy coats' and that was really it. I suppose there is a dash of Kayleigh from Firefly in there, plus the Lady Captain from Treasure Planet, and maybe a little bit of Starbuck from Battle Star Galactica. But mostly it's 'swooshy coat'.
