Imprint is a short story by Andy Redman, set in the Elite universe.
Imprint was released together with PC Elite Plus in 1991 instead of Robert Holdstock's "Elite: The Dark Wheel", and as part of the Elite Plus Manual rather than a separate book.
Abstract
The story itself is again set in the Elite universe, and tells the tale of a newly-qualified pilot, Rif Hood, and his early skirmishes in space.
This story continues to set out the details of the Elite universe; how pilots obtain their licences, the decisions they have to make regarding their way of life, and the gut-wrenching reality of combat in the vastness of space. It also emphasises the huge importance of Galcop in all matters including trading and combat, and introduces the concept of a galactic band of terrorists known as the Knights Templar. Despite a lack of clarity regarding the terrorists' aims and a slightly rushed and implausible romance, Imprint is an excellent piece of official Elite fiction (Text taken from frontierastro.co.uk).
