'''Robber''' is an [[ambrosa]] smuggler.


He hijacks {{TOS|Starbuck}}'s [[Viper (TOS)|Recon Viper]] for the purposes of traveling to the merchant colony [[Aeries]], after fleeing the clutches of [[Croad]], an [[Proteus enforcers|Enforcer]] from the [[Proteus]] prison colony.
After a brief firefight staged on a planetoid in a vacant settlement, Robber gives himself up after Boomer comes across his wife, [[Slayer]], and daughter [[Tanya]]. Upon obtaining similar knowledge of Proteus that Starbuck already possesses, Apollo, Boomer, and Robber are forced into going back to that very same planetoid. (While the reconnaissance fighter is subsequently recovered along with its hijacker, the stop to Proteus is the only choice since the Fleet changes course.)
