Hashida

Doctor Hashida was a scientist who participated in the development of Project Hemipepsis in the Mons Hadley Complex on Luna. He was not present during the mercenary raid that saw the theft of Project Hemipepsis and the total slaughter of his colleagues, having already embarked on a transport to Showalter. Unaware of the bloody event that occurred shortly after his departure, Hashida booked passage to one of the research outposts on Samrat on the cargo freighter Chandrakanta.

When an unidentified pirate vessel intercepted the Chandrakanta on its final approach to Samrat, Doctor Hashida and at least one other crewman managed to launch an escape pod seconds before the pirate vessel destroyed the Chandrakanta with a single shot from its railgun.

Having narrowly escaped two deadly attempts on his life, Dr. Hashida's luck finally ran out when he attempted to call for assistance on the escape pod's open comm channel. The pirates easily tracked his broadcast to its source, and obliterated Hashida's escape pod with a second railgun shot, killing all aboard.
