Cousin of Windscorpion and Firefly and long-time DDS and NS member Salamander is reported to have committed suicide onboard an NS vessel during a mission. It is thought he overrode an airlock safety system and had himself jettisoned into space. Although wearing his armour he did not fit his breathing equipment or suit heating and died within seconds of entering space.
Salamander was one of the best helmsmen in the NS fleet though also had a reputation for... strangeness. Windscorpion is said to be upset over the loss.
