Judas Arnold Rimmer was originally a small time thief, then terrorist, and finally reincarnated as a hologram and captain of The Mighty Red Falcon.

Childhood
Judas aas born in Bristol, 21st May 2523.He was brought up in the slums, and by the age of 12 was an expert pick-pocket. When he was 16, his step-father got him to accompany him, in the robbery of several stores. Judas, later aged 17 travelled to America with his Step-Father, where they thought they could work for one of the "Buisnesses". Unfortunatly upon attempting to be hired by a small time drug dealer, the Armageddon Bike Gang attacked the building, and Judas saw his Step-Dad disembowled by a chainsaw. Judas escaped, barely.

Combat 18
Judas returned to Britain, where he attempted to join the, then small, gang known as Combat 18, he also fell in love, and married a young woman. Judas, though he disagreed with their views, enjoyed the pay, and the thrills. He was one of a small group meant to hijack a Malaysian Spacelines Passenger Frigate and hold it ransom. The UNSC uncovered the plot, and boarded the frigate. The UNSC troops easily rescued the hostages, with only one dying, after being shot in the head by one of the more psychotic members of the terrorists. Judas, along with several other terrorists, succeded in escaping into escape pods, where they aimed for a unocuppied vessel.

The Mighty Red Falcon
Judas and the rest of the Combat 18 team, that hadn't been arrested boarded The Mighty Red Falcon, escaping the UNSC forces. Though the allready damaged falcon soon crashed onto the planet H'ck.

H'ck turned out to be methane rich, with virtually no oxygen, so the group feared for how much air they had left. To make matters worse, large Yeti like creatures started battering the sides of the Falcon.

The group started turning on each other, with one of the terrorists shooting Judas and another man in the head, blaming them for the whole situation. Another of the group decided to take his chances outside, during a moment of brief Psychosis, this allowed the Yeti-like creatures to swarm aboard and kill the other terrorists.

Hologram
Seven years passed and Judas awoke, thinking he had been knocked out. Finding the ship in perfect condition he piloted it back towards Earth. In Bristol he attempted to see his wife, only to find out she had remarried, she explained to him that it's been seven years, then that she knew he was a member of 18, yet when she attempted to slap him, her hand passed through his face. Bewildered Judas left.

The Ships A.I had activated whilst Judas was dead, it had, in order to continue it decided it needed it's own captain. So using footage and a layout of the deceased Judas, the Falcon reconstructed him as a hologram. Judas now realising this, decided to turn his life around, have a new start and use his "powers" to do good in the Universe.

He heard over the ships comm about the Covenant attacking the Planet Reach, getting there in time, Judas rescued many Civilians, among them Aaron Davids, who would join him as the second member of the crew. After dropping the civilians off on a UNSC carrier, the Falcon was agian attacked by Covenant, and was forced to crash on a Covenant occupied moon. The moon was inhabited mostly by Grunts, ruled over by the Elite Tzal Zukinee, and the took Aaron prisoner, to be interrogated and tortured. Judas in his attempts to rescue Aaron, discovered he couldn't travel more than seven kilometers from the Falcon.

Aaron had released the thought of Democracy to the Grunts, who released Aaron, and overthrew the Covenant on the moon. Pleading for a new world, as the Covenant would surely come looking for them, Judas led them to H'ck, where the Grunts reestablished their own society. The crew was then joined by four new Grunts, among them Naboo
