Hurricane Squadrons

The juvenile organic starships budded by Storm of Leaves via her hull, her onboard strike complement and from a certain perspective, her children. Though less than a year old by conventional metrics, they are all maturing quickly thanks to a ready supply of nutrient-rich materials and suspected (if never proven) after-effects of being created from a Void Walker.   The two 4-craft squadrons function as small family units, filled with petty rivalries and in-jokes and squabbles that Storm finds herself drawn into. Though already mentally developed to a sophont state, the Hurricanes are inexperienced and emotionally immature as the children of many other species are. That they are months-old, clearly alive and yet being employed as soldiers is an ethical breach no bioship appears willing to address...   As products of a storm, the Hurricanes bear names related to winds, based on Kitsune cultural memories of a very old Terran language. For the sake of avoiding tedium, the full names are often shortened into nicknames.   (this document will expand as more of the Hurricanes' personalities and internal relationships are known. -Vic)
