Information About

Warlord Shank




Warlord Shank is a villain in the '' Space Cases '' series,
portrayed by actor George Takei .

Warlord Shank is a Spung commander who is a deadly space pirate and adversary for the crew of the Christa. He first appears in his killcruiser when he intercepts and threatens to destroy the Christa after discovering that Elmira could be onboard. Apparently, Elmira was onboard and she was also in an on and off relationship with none other than Radu. Shank was furiously after Elmira when crossing paths with the Christa's crew.

Later, when Shank attacks another ship also named "Christa" with his Spung killcruiser K'zata, the Christa crew flies to their rescue. After a slew of trickery, Shank comes face to face with Harlan. Shank begins to question Harlan and threatens to torture Catalina with his electric scepter if Harlan doesn't tell Shank about the ship's weapon operating system.

Afterwards, Shank finds Goddard, whom ensues in a battle with Shank, electric scepter against a piece of scrap metal. However, Goddard manages to step on Shank's foot in order to give him enough time to escape from Shank. Shank follows him with a limping foot. Shank comes across Bova, Rosie and Davenport right after. He uses his electric scepter against them, but Bova zaps it right back at Shank.

Shank soon manages to find Elmira and is furious at her for her defiance. He lets her in on a secret, telling her she is his daughter. Elmira still defies him regardless and escapes. Just as the crew of the Christa tries to break away from the doomed ship, Shank grabs Catalina. The Christa breaks away and the other ship explodes, with Catalina onboard.

Later, when PEZU makes an attempt to keep Suzee with her because it does not want to be left alone, it infects Thelma and the entire Christa's system with a computer virus. This is when Shank makes a terrifying reappearance, although its really not the real Shank. He chases the crew, threatening to kill them all, until a ceiling panel covered with spikes begins to fall.

The crew comprehends that there's something suspicious about Warlord Shank. He doesn't recognize them, he keeps missing them with his weapon, and he disappears when they get close to him. They eventually realize that Shank is just a hologram. They all cease to be afraid of him. Meanwhile, the real Warlord Shank's ship has also been invaded by a virus. He heads back to the outpost to get revenge upon PEZU.

The guys come across yet another Warlord Shank, but this time it's the REAL Shank. In his grand return, Warlord Shank appears with a missing arm, replaced by a cybernetically enhanced one, and has a lot of new scars on his face. (According to Zabagabe, a Spung ship was transporting Shank out of the Christa's sister ship at the same time that Catalina was pulled into Suzee's dimension. Shank's arm was around Catalina, and his arm went with her into Suzee's dimension. Catalina made a purse out of it.)

PEZU is more than happy to let the new and improved yet deadly Warlord Shank kill them, so PEZU doesn't have to kill them herself. Shank is about to kill the guys, and the reprogrammed Thelma is about to kill Davenport, Bova and Rosie, when Suzee intercepts and convinces PEZU that true friendship involves trust and sacrifice. She says she will hate PEZU forever if PEZU doesn't aid her friends. PEZU finally catches on, rescues the guys, and cures Thelma.

The Christa flies away safely, while PEZU is left to "enjoy herself" with her new victims: Warlord Shank and his two Spung officers.
