Аннотация

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.

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. Two sub-plots, revenge against a demented fellow pilot and romance with a pilot who lost her previous comrades to pirates, converge neatly in the heat of a massive battle against terrorist forces in the Arazaes system.

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.
