Van MacDougal-- an outcast of the Confederate Nova Squadron, is obsessed with hunting down the rogue Ace Tarpals.
The fallen commander is obsessed with killing Ace Tarpals, and does not care how he gets there-- only to get the deed done. To him, the ends justify the means, and the means lead him to join the Iron Hand against the Scavengers. When its leaders fell Van eventually fought his way to command, now having a personal army by which to hunt down Ace Tarpals. He cannot bear the thought of being beaten by such lowborn scum and laughed at by his peers-- failure is almost equivalent of death to him.
Van and Ace share a common history on the Nova Station-- the fortress of the last remnant of the Confederacy. For reasons unknown the Scavengers tracked down Nova Station and successfully stole a set of classified data disks from them. At the time Van was in charge... and, as punishment, was kicked out of the station, and ordered to get the disks back. That was three years ago....
Van has a small army at his disposal, and will throw them away, if necessary, in order to get his way. His Battlecruiser Avenger is outfitted with the sophisticated weaponry developed by Nova Squadron, as well as any technology found since leaving Nova Station. Van himself is a poor fighter, and will try his best not to get involved in such situations.
Ace Tarpals. Ace cost Van his position in Nova Squadron because he allowed Schezar's Scavengers to escape with certain classified data disks. Van believes he can redeem himself among his peers if he kills Ace and brings back the data disks.
