Recent History

Sword of the Alliance

Kamaney began as a Fleet officer. She and Pwyll Mansey were lovers, though she never felt anything more than fondness and pleasure in him. Though Kamaney was definitively a sociopath, she was not wrong that their fraternization was an excuse to frame them. Their captain Baerut Flait used that fact in part to frame them for greater crimes to cover up the bribes he himself was taking from Gledig's Governor Kerenkev to ignore the planet. At the same time, Brad Courtland located them and encouraged them to perform pirate raids on Gledig.

As such, Kamaney and Pwyll, and their pirate ship the Scythe, were able to work without restraints on Gledig; Kamaney also attempted to increase their profits by purchasing slaves for the slave trade, to Pwyll's despair. Pwyll also observed that the crew treated her as superior officer rather than him.

When the Scythe entered orbit, Kamaney headed the raiding party to the surface in an armed shuttle, leaving Pwyll in orbit. The shuttle landed and dropped off a small contingent of pirates, who then witnessed the Scythe's destruction due to Pwyll's deliberate suicide from the ground; Kamaney, though herself unhappy at being stranded on-planet without a space-capable vehicle to her name. responded by telling the small contingent of pirates who had landed that they were now free to take slaves, or rape and torment the inhabitants. When her pirate contingent was killed by Dylan Brushnie and her shuttle destroyed by the Stardancer, leaving her no ready escape route, she hid in a ditch, deliberately injured herself, and used some of the blood to imply that she had been both injured and raped.

Kamaney's ruse succeeded. She was treated as a patient in the Daleth clinic and was not recognized as one of the attacking pirates, and was eventually able to leave the planet.

Trivia

• Unsurprisingly, swears a lot. Seems to prefer 'rhack.'
• As of Sword of the Alliance, she had already had a cloak designed to her specifications.
• Kamaney enjoys deliberately baiting her crew, specifically by using Fleet titles, because "better to know where you stand with them than to wonder."

Quotes

• The universe was unfair. Now that she knew just how rigged the game was, she planned to be one of the winners. And every game with a winner needed losers.
