 == Overview ==
-[[Image:Wolfolfmilpic.png|thumb|left|180px|Early Military field image]]
+Venomous, fortified, durable, and formidable in battle, the mere mention of the name '''Wolf Mk.II''' may be sufficient to give seasoned pilots the shakes. At a stiff price and demanding to manoeuver, it is given that the pilot who commands a Wolf has earned the right to do so.
-== Scandalous Origins ==
+Believed by some to be an extinct craft, by others the stuff of myths, the brief appearance of the Wolf Mk.I was so pithy that all accounts must be considered spurious. We just don't know. But it and its successor, the Wolf Mk. II, were designed by [[Faulcon de Lacy]] (the favoured fang-theme should be considered a signature) yet the scheduled production was halted as it was promptly swept under the rug by the controlling investor, Navy special branch, and years passed before it became known to the public.
-The events that followed were uncharacteristic of Military history, and much of the factual evidence was later suppressed.  It was the Military leadership's intention not to distribute this new ship across the fleet, but to exclusively train the Military's top pilots to form "Wolf ''Paragon'' Squadrons". The leadership did not fail in selecting their very most skillful.
+It would eventually achieve notoriety for its hard shell, and its pernicious bite.
-There is no denying there were mistakes made during the selections, however. The Paragon squads had barely been instated by the time the first reports of desertion reached High Command. Mass-desertion had soon spread to mad proportions, and it became apparent that shamefully many of "the Military's finest" were unable to resist the temptations that came with commanding such a superior craft, confronted with relatively feeble resistance. Shockingly large numbers of officers had conspired to form rogue gangs, and went on to exploit this newfound power with little inhibition.
+== Nebulous origins ==
-The response from High Command was urgent but would disguise none of the inflicted embarassment. The Paragon Squads were instantly disbanded, and all deserters declared priority outlaws, subject to immediate extermination. The minority of the pilots, those who had stayed loyal to the military cause, were quietly promoted into positions of relative obscurity, and the Amaliel Corp. contract was swiftly cancelled. This resulted in a judicial stink that would not go away despite heavy Military pressure on Amaliel to forget that any deal had ever been made, but in the end the shipbuilders' resistance paid off.  As illegal models began to appear, the Military leadership realized that desperate attempts to contain the fiasco were futile, and moved to minimize their losses. In an agreement that saw the Military join Amaliel as partners in private enterprise, the Wolf Mk.II would finally be available for sale on the open market.
+However, mistakes were made during the selections. Not long after the assembly of the Paragon squads, the first accounts of desertion were reported. It grew to become a mass-phenomenon, and it became apparent that shamefully large numbers of "the Navy's finest" were unable to resist the temptations that came with commanding such a seductive craft when faced with feeble resistance. Large numbers of officers conspired to form rogue gangs, and went on to exploit this newfound power without discrimination.
 == Aftermath ==
-As the Military came to approach the problems in a more constructive manner, its Propaganda Dept. saw no harm in spreading disinformation concerning the Wolf Mk.II's origins. Several rumours, among them the Wolf's alleged basis in [[Thargoids|Thargoid]] technology, never hurt sales and brought focus to the all-important war effort. However, these attempts to blur the truth are swallowed only by the most gullible.
