Magpie

The Magpie is a Kel-Morian Combine scavenger vessel used by Captain Theban and his crew.

History
Sometime after the Terran Dominion and Daelaam ceasefire Magpie had been scavenging derelict ships, but had a string of runs with low profit. Theban and his crew picked up a new ship engineer named Caleb, who they hoped would become part of their more shadowy motivations.

Soon the crew caught wind of a derelict protoss carrier that would soon crash into a nearby planet, and quickly the Magpie arrived near the ship, dropping its crew off to salvage what technology of value they could find.

Trivia
