Description
"Ordinarily, junior level rangers would not be entrusted with this assignment," Commandant Sar'el Fels began. "But you are my only available assets."
The youngest ranger, Laura Lightspeed prompted, "We're ready to serve! The mission?"
"Pirates," the Commandant muttered distastefully. "You have to discover their bases and supply depots. You MUST not engage. Your craft are not heavily shielded or satisfactorily armed."
Molly's art notes: Set up and rendered with Poser 13.3.1009 using the Superfly Cycles X rendering engine. Some postwork was accomplished within Superfly and a bit more in Photoshop. BlueTreeStudio provided the setting. Laura is based on the DAZ gen 3 Laura PT mesh, her fellow junior rangers are based on Hiro 4 and Victoria 4. The Commandant is also based on Victoria 4. The uniform is from the Space Defender series by Evil Innocence.
The character is a work in progress, no detailed stories as of yet. She also appears here: Laura Lightspeed Explores

I'm far from your world, but I always enjoy discovering things because I'm curious. I never tire of appreciating your work.

Pure Molly :)
Always good to see some space opera from the queen of old school. This crew might work out well with Laura,
Thanks for the encouragement, JD. This sort of thing ruled TV and movie Sci Fi when I was a little girl. My main update to it the heroic role I give my space girls. As I recall, the strong women in early Sci Fi were usually depicted as evil and the good girls played subservient roles to the brave space men. I'm equal opportunity for virtue and evil! XD

I'm with ya there. strong female characters can be quite compelling if they are well created and not vicarious mouthpieces for current sociopolitical nonsense.
Of course, my idea of a strong female character isn't necessarily politically correct or "feminist". I just like to see my girls giving and getting as good as the guys. I used to imagine myself as the "hero" in the old TV programs like Rocky Jones, Captain Z-Ro, Commando Cody and Tom Corbett; the girls on those shows were not so heroic, needing to be rescued all the time so I imagined female versions of the main characters. Still doing that today... XD

And don't stop....
