Bulba star

Turning a near defeat into a victory was what the crew of the Sandawana knew captain Maguire for. It became something they had come to expect from him in the direst of situations. When all hope seemed lost.

It had been their light at the end of the tunnel that they look to, that slimmest of hope. The 0,001percent chance of survival in tightly contested tightly contested starship battles when the chips seemed hopelessly stacked against their chances of emerging intact and in one piece. They had learnt to put their trust in him like a silent prayer to this demi god of war. A trust that was like silent worship , invoking upon his exceptional almost super human abilities to lead them out of danger.

He had never once failed to deliver.

Whenever he put on that stone cold expression of his, it was as though time itself stopped. Everything would seem to proceed in slow motion. Waiting as it were on his command to come to live.
