Jack of Harts

Jack Hart has commanded approximately one third of the Cowboys since War’s End. Hart Fleet we call it, though I have always wondered why the Peloran picked that callsign for him. The hart is such a noble animal. And then there is Jack. He takes pride in his roguish behavior and his pilots most definitely follow in his wake. They flaunt laws they do not like, they practice smuggling and vigilantism, and they glory in a host of other questionable behaviors. Local governments rarely welcome them with open arms when they are reckless enough to arrive openly. Which is why they have so many false identities and ship registrations available to show the local customs officials at a moment’s notice. But God bless them, when the call goes out, they always answer. That is why some systems are always happy to see them arrive.
