Starshield

Captain Starshield was once a famous intergalactic hero, rivaling Captain Qwark with his exploits. However, a month before the events of Deadlocked, Starshield was captured upon investigating the Shadow Sector.

In DreadZone, Starshield quickly became the number one ranking contestant. His abilities led him to a fatal mission in the last episode of the season, during which, after achieving victory, he was coldly shot in the back by his DreadZone rival Ace Hardlight (who used a Quantum-Demoleculizer Juanita had snuck into his locker).

Ratchet, Clank, Big Al, and Captain Sasha had been looking into his death when - with the exception of Sasha - they were kidnapped by the Vox empire.

In DreadZone, Starshield used a modified Lancer, which shot big lightning bullets instead of a stream of small yellow bullets. However, when he was on planet Fractis right before his capture he used a more simplified pistol which shot small blue bullets with energy beams.

Trivia

 * According to his skin description in Ratchet: Deadlocked, when he was simply Private Starshield, he had the shiniest toilets in his unit.
 * Big Al was apparently a devoted fan of Starshield, as he was shocked and saddened to learn of his death - alternatively it could just be that the death of a 'superhero' upset Al.
