Raoul da Silva was an aerospace fighter pilot serving in the Kuritan military in the early 31st century. He was stationed with the forces occupying Verthandi when the Gray Death Legion attempted to run a DropShip past the orbital blockade.
Overview
Da Silva's SL-15 Slayer suffered heavy damage when it engaged the DropShip's fighter escorts near Verthandi. Left adrift, unable to maneuver and with failing life support, it still retained power to its weapons.[1]
As Gray Death pilot Jeffric Sherman's Chippewa passed in front of da Silva's fighter, the Kuritan opened fire at point-blank range, inflicting severe damage with repeated hits.[2]
Raoul da Silva did not live long enough to celebrate his sneak attack. Jeffric Sherman's fellow pilot, Sue Ellen Klein, targeted his Slayer and destroyed its cockpit with her missiles.[3]
