Meet Captain Z, the scourge of the spaceways. Once a simple thug in the local starport bar, Captain Z tricked his way into ownership of a surplus space corvette, becoming Captain Z of the pirate ship Crimson Fist. Captain Z is one of the foulest pirates in known space; he has managed to attract a crew of vicious raiders called the Zargonites, and he has trained them well in teh ways of evil. Captain Z and his crew are a constant challenge to the Space Rangers, but little of known of his past before his barroom wastrel years. His shape is human, but his head is that of a hideous reptilian alien, but sometimes a close look reveals signs of printed circuits running under his skin; is he a robot? A cyborg? Something else? Whatever the answer, his cruelty and mischief know no limits.
