Biography[[edit] | [edit source]]
In early 2065, while Marineville was being bombarded by Strike Aircraft piloted by some of their own men who had fallen under the control of Titan, Commander Shore told a reporter for TV Century 21 he could hold off on offensive measures for only another two hours in the hope that Stingray could resolve the situation. However, he accepted this possibility was remote as the continued radio silence from Tempest and his crew likely indicated they were themselves in deadly peril. (PROSE: Marineville Waits!) In the time leading up to the assault on Marineville, Stingray had been attacked by a Titan Terror Fish (PROSE: Stingray Attacked!) and trapped in an undersea cavern by Titan's jellyfish. (PROSE: Titan Declares War!)
During the Brazilian jungle crisis in March 2065, Tempest had orders to hunt down and destroy some strange underwater creatures if the World Security Council's belief that they were using the lake of San Juan as their Headquarters turned out to be true. (PROSE: Jungle Terror!) Later, Phones Sheridan was interviewed by Doug Brogan for TV 21 while he and Troy lay in wait in case another of the mysterious alien machines they were looking for should appear. (PROSE: Stingray Hunts Aliens)
In May 2065, Tempest discovered that Atlanta Shore had been kidnapped by one of Titan's undercover agents when he found the beach she was on deserted with signs of a struggle in the sand. He told a reporter that plans were being made to trace her. (PROSE: Atlanta Kidnapped!) When Tempest was awarded with a Valour Medal by the President, he was missing on active service after starting a search for Atlanta. Phones radioed Marineville to tell them that he was last seen heading for Titanica but had heard nothing since. (PROSE: Tempest Awarded V.M.) Phones later reported that he was continuing his search for Troy and Atlanta, after the Stingray became fully operational again after an attack (COMIC: The Amaryll Challenge) by a Titan Terror Fish, in a coral island area in Titan's territory. (PROSE: Stingray Searches)
In July 2065, in reference to the ongoing investigation at Tracking Station 17, Senator Jack Marasel of France accused "Shore and his boys" of "gaily galavanting around some island looking for ghosts". Senator Adrinnikof of Russia defended Stingray but the debate was ultimately adjourned until the next day. (PROSE: Civil War) Tempest went missing after investigating a ghostly galleon which had been sighted nearby the station. Commander Shore and Phones were said to be taking action. (PROSE: Bullion Train)
The Marineville Press Office once reported that contact had been lost between Tempest and the Marineville Control Tower. (COMIC: The Menace of the Monstrons) The Press Office later released a statement saying that a W.A.S.P. air-sea craft had picked up Tempest from the Pacific Ocean and returned him to base. He had been on a secret mission to the Pacific Uranium Plant. (PROSE: Britain Protests!)
In July 2066, Troy and Phones inflitrated the pirate organisation which had been attacking shipping in the South China Sea. He briefly made contact with Commander Shore with a "feeble radio call" but the signal soon vanished into the air despite Shore's efforts to increase the reception power. As rumours suggesting the duo's capture was rife, Shore continued to comb every inch of the area, desperately awaiting a signal that would give cause to send the submarine to investigate. (PROSE: "Come In, Tempest")
Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]
Troy Tempest originated from the television series Stingray where he was voiced by Don Mason. In Big Finish Productions' series of audio stories, Tempest was voiced by Marc Silk.
"Captain Troy Handsome of International Rescue", an alias used by the Eleventh Doctor in The Lodger [+]Loading...["The Lodger (TV story)"], may have been based upon Captain Troy Tempest's name, with Stingray immediately preceding Thunderbirds in the lineage of supermarionation series.
