Biography

Carl Warrington was born and raised in a middle class family on Corellia and as soon as he learned to fly he left home to see what adventures awaited him as a freelance trader.

He spent many years as a freelancer and was heavily involved in galactic trade. He started by trading low value fighter craft and vehicles and slowly worked his way up to larger and rarer craft. One year into his trading career he was betrayed by a business associate and lost all of his slowly acquired fortune.

Left only with two cloakshape/H fighters he was forced to rebuild. While he continued to trade in fighters and vehicles he expanded the offerings of his store to include hidden system coordinates and stocks. Through the new focus of his business he was able to regain his lost fortune.

He competed in the second Kessel Run with Jeb`el Ras and came in second place. The winnings from this race was a YT-510 freighter, the Rumors of War, which Carl still owns and uses as one of his primary transports.

After this point Carl continued his freelance trading career and amassed a small fleet along with numerous space stations and facilities.

Carl retired from trading and spent several years relaxing at his personal residence on Corellia before the thrill of making deals called him back to the galactic trading market. When he came back he found that the economy had changed significantly. Ships and vehicles were now being mass produced and margins were slim.

Around this time a new system "Drup" was discovered in the galactic south. Carl had been spending time as a freelance builder for a large mining faction and was in the area at the time the news of the system was made public. He rushed down and founded many cities.

The founding of the cities were partially funded by A`Zol Surek, a trading partner Carl had done business with previously. Carl and Zol started a production faction named Warrington Surek Industrial which intended to use the newly founded cities has factory cities to produce products and small ships for the galactic south.

This venture was halted when Zol was captured by Zann and his 51% stake in WSI was given over to Zann. Zol was later executed. As Zol owned 51% of the faction, Carl was left holding a non-controlling stake in the company with the treacherous Zann Consortium as a partner. Carl was strong-armed into a deal in which he would accept 10% of the earnings of WSI while Zann controlled the company and kept 90% of earnings.

However time would tell that even this deal was too good to be true. Zann never honored its agreement. And when Carl inquired as to his payment, Zann feigned interest in paying Carl to lure him into their station to capture him. Carl and Ximaro Jix did battle on "The Anchorage" in the Vaxal system and Carl overpowered Ximaro, defeating him and escaping the trap.

The cities on Drup 2 were never sold throughout this fiasco and Carl held them as a wild card for future revenge against Zann. The story of this revenge has been reported extensively by the galactic news service in the article "A Syphilitic Situation on Drup II".

Carl was long a secret member of the Eidola Pirates but came out publicly to complete his vision of a pirate hub for trading and business on Sevarcos X. He has since completed his project on Sevarcos X which is considered to be one of the largest known pirate business hubs in the galaxy. Since then his planetary building and building consulting endeavors have taken off with him guiding other planetary building operations in the Sevarcos system.

At the 7th Uli-ah Gafsa Memorial Swap Meet Carl joined much of the rest of Eidola in the festivities of the meet. It was here that he first unveiled that for years he had been distilling his own bourbon on his flagship, the Veltraa-class Cruiser Hibridium Kestrel. He offered this beverage to numerous sentients at the meet, including one Gyra Fallon who wondered aboard the Kestrel in search of the bourbon. Unfortunately for Gyra, the drink was quite strong and she found herself unable to find her way out of the Kestrel. Fortunately for Gyra, Norbert's pet Draigon "Norbert" took a personal interest in nursing her back to health. She now resides in Norbert's den in the Kestrel. The reporting of this event can be found GNS articles "Celebrating the Seventh Swap Meet" "Seventh Swap Swan Song"


Ships

Carl's flagship is the Veltraa-class Cruiser Hibridium Kestrel, also known simply as the Kestrel. This ship's history is cloudy, however it is suspected that Squall Chitose of the Eidola Pirates purchased the ship from Tycho Celchu, the Kestrel long remained in Eidola's inventory, unused. The ship was held below the shields on Asher I until Taranjeek O`Cuinn purchased the ship and was able to smuggle the ship above the shields. Carl purchased it from him after it was freed from Asher I's shielding.

The Kestrel is known for having a full bourbon distilling, aging, and bottling operation on the first deck. Carl's bourbons are sold exclusively at the "War's End Tavern" in the lower nose of the Kestrel. The bourbon that is distilled on the Hibridium Kestrel is galaxy renowned and Carl has been known to give this bourbon to friends as well as planetary authorities who need some "convincing".

Creatures

Carl is known for his love of animals and has several rooms dedicated to housing his pets on the Hibridium Kestrel. Among his many pets, Norbert the draigon has gained a certain level of notoriety as Carl's closest companion. Carl came across Norbert accidentally after doing battle with several Draigons in the mountains of north-western Yelsain in year 18. At the time the science feud was in full swing and the faction Carl had chosen to join (Twilight) needed draigon scales for scientific purposes. After Carl and his band emerged victorious from their battle with the draigons Carl stumbled across a mysterious egg laying near the battle field. He brought the egg back to his ship and cared for it until it hatched. He was delighted to discover that the egg contained a baby draigon. Since that point Norbert and Carl have been close friends. Norbert and Carl often hunt together to hone their combat skills and Norbert has developed into an expert combatant. "Norbert's Den" on the Hibridium Kestrel is a massive room designed specifically to cater to the needs and wants of a Draigon with comforts such imitation mountainous terrain and porgs for Norbert's hunting entertainment. Norbert's Den is also where Norbert keeps some of his prized possessions, such as the recovering Gyra Fallon.
