Today’s topics: Bad & his spaceship, the Corvette class

Before it gets too confusing, Bad is the name of a character. In fact he is going to be the first boss who you will encounter as the Player.

Personality

Bad is a violent man and will choose the use force on anyone that defies him. Bad likes to do whatever he wants and he will not accept a “no” unless it comes from The Crimson Duke. Leaving destruction and death on his path, he enjoys inflicting pain and fear on other people.

Bad usually enjoys the company of other impulsive people who think and act like him. But he hates people that act calm and rarely show his emotions or people who just simply ignore what he has to say.

Back Story

Taller and stronger than the other kids at his own age, Bad was always bullying the other kids. He liked the idea that the other kids feared him, so he forced them to call him “The bad kid” or simply “Bad”. He didn’t care about studies because he already know where he could use his superior strength and agility to his advantage: in the military forces.

Bad passed the entrance physical tests without problems and started training as a soldier and pilot. He was a normal trainee at the start, but his tenacious spirit made him train harder than the other trainees, thus achieving better results at the end of his training. During his training, Bad’s bad behavior made him lot of enemies, but zero friends.

Despite Bad’s behavior, he was given command of a pilot unit and sent to various missions. He caused unacceptable damage and destruction during these missions so in the end his boss gave him one last chance to redeem himself: a combined assault with one of his ex-trainee companions unit. Bad’s decisions and impulsiveness together with the lack of collaboration with the other unit caused several deaths from both units and a huge amount of civilian deaths.

After his ex-companions united declaration against him during the military trial, Bad was dismissed from the army and put into jail. There, Bad lost all of his regard towards others’ lives. After The Crimson Duke took over Astroworks, Bad received a letter saying that he could be free to do whatever he wanted if he joined Astroworks military forces. Bad answered with this: “Count on me. And call me Bad”. Since then, Bad has acted as The Crimson Duke’s man-in-command in field missions and has been allowed to do whatever he wants as long as the objectives are achieved.

Look

Corvette

The Corvette class enemy spaceship first appears in the boss fight against Bad at around the 60% point in the story. After Bad had been defeated, multiple numbers of slightly weaker Corvettes will appear until the end of the game.

Description

Special anti-individual spaceship that is considered the elite of Astroworks’ fighting forces. Corvette spaceships will only be released against specific individuals or in situations where the fighters alone won’t suffice. Corvette pilots will get as close as possible to the target before they unleash deadly attacks from an advantageous position.
