Jack of Harts

Blaze is one of the older cybernetic intelligences that joined the Cowboys during The War. She was born half a century before it began, started life as an old Blackhawk fighter, and then upgraded to a newer Hellcat-class starfighter. Five decades of experience allowed her and her pilot to kill six Shang fighters at the Battle of Fort Wichita. That was an impressive feat for a Pre-War American fighter, and significantly better than most of her compatriots. When I received approval to expand Cowboy squadron, she was on my short list of people I wanted to bring on board. I made certain she received an invitation and waited to see if she would come. I was most pleased when she did, and similarly pleased with her performance in Jack’s little screening process. She always has kept a few tricks up her electronic sleeves.
