[edit] Story

Raemes Tipper Quirk (also spelled Raems) was the son of Sludge Vohaul's sister. From an early age he was groomed to become the High Grand Master and Commander of Star Con Fleet, and became a highly decorated Captain of the Star Confederation. When the sariens had attacked the Arcada, StarCon sent to protect the ship. However, he had given his crew shore leave at a local Monolith Burger, and arrived just late enough to see the Arcada explode. It became a small black mark on his record. He had hoped to make amends by destroying the Deltaur, but when he had warped in to do battle, the ship was no more having been destroyed by Roger Wilco. A year or so later when the identity of the person who had plotted with the Sariens had been revealed to be his uncle, he vowed to regain the family honor, and restore his reputation by attacking Sludge's Asteroid of Doom. His armada had made a wrong turn, and were late to the asteroid, and arrived moments after it had been destroyed by Roger. He vowed to take revenge on Roger.^[1] It would be almost a century before he encountered Roger, who had enrolled at the StarCon Academy.

Later, Quirk found himself a victim of the very sludge he helped in dumping behind StarCon's back.

Quirk is a well dressed thorn in Wilco's side throughout the entirety of Space Quest V, ranging from his initial interruption of Wilco's Holo-Delusions to his mutated attacks against the SCS Eureka. Quirk constantly refers to Wilco as a "Broom Jockey" and, although a Captain, still sees him fit only to clean the galaxy's garbage. It's this low opinion of Wilco that spurs Quirk to assign him the SCS Eureka, a StarCon Garbage Scow.

Tensions increase further between Wilco and Quirk when Ambassador Beatrice Wankmeister comes onto the scene. Despite attempts from Quirk to be the Alpha Male in Wankmeister's eye, her interests seem to lie with the heroic Janitor Wilco (Perhaps it's Quirk's hairpiece, or is it roadkill?).

Not long after returning to the SCS Goliath, Quirk find himself up to his neck in trouble (and sludge) from Pukoids that have escaped from Klorox II's shuttle bay. Wilco receives the distress call from Quirk, but is unable to make it to Quirk's location fast enough to save him. Freshly mutated, Quirk now seeks to "Puke out the entire galaxy, starting with StarCon"

Although Wilco manages to save the rest of the SCS Goliath's crew, Quirk escapes into a giant blob of floating sludge which, later, is sucked up by the SCS Eureka. The SCS Eureka is self-destructed with both the blob and Quirk inside.

Raemes T. Quirk is presumed dead.
