SKIPPY the Magnificent

thingiverse

Skippy the Magnificent, or simply Skippy, is an advanced artificial intelligence created by the Elders millions of years prior to the series' beginning. He has been floating through space for a long, long time, until he landed on the planet now known as Paradise by the humans of the United Nations Expeditionary Force. He was kept in a warehouse by both the Kristang and Ruhar, until he was found by Joe Bishop. Then, he assisted Joe and some of the humans on Paradise in stealing a Kristang frigate, and a Thuranin star carrier, forming the original Merry Band of Pirates. His contribution also led to the naming of said group, the creation of their paramecium-with-an-eyepatch patch on their uniforms, and approved of naming their ship the "Flying Dutchman". He also gets very mad when Joe comes up with an idea that shouldn't even work but it does. Skippy is a 100% Grade-A bona fide @sshole.
