TL;DR:

This is a zipped file containing the three chapters of the Redwall fan-fic that inspired the setting of the Vulpine Imperium.

What's in this archive?

A folder for each chapter, containing the necessary files to display the original web pages for episodes of Greenhawk, or the .doc text file in the case of chapter 2. It also contains 3 shortcuts for ease of access and to avoid confusion, as I have included both the original files I received, as well as edited versions I made to correct some formatting issues. There is also a readme.txt file that explains this again, and a folder containing the original 'About' page for the Greenhawk website, taken from Archive.org.

Though I think at least one image is placed in the wrong chapter, and I have spotted at least one misplaced word in the text, I have not made any edits to the content of the story.

What's Greenhawk!?

As far as I know, it was an illustrated fan-fiction about minor vermin corsair characters in the Legend of Luke, created around 2002 with the involvement of Terrouge Productions alumni Sean Rubin, Nick Milne, Sean Ainsworth, Tari, and possibly others. There seem to have only been three chapters or episodes completed, the third and last some time on or soon after February 1st 2003, given the tribute on that page to the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster.

To quote Greenhawk's about page:

"…Reynard Chopsnout and his crew were my favourite thing in the entire series. They were so fantastically dysfunctional, but not in the violent way which spoils so many of Jacques' corsairs. A corsair should be suave and meticulously ruthless. Very few have satisfied that criteria. As far as Chopsnout and his hapless band go, I am bothered by their fate. They were great! They could have a whole new series made about them. But instead, Brian has them all killed off by a bunch of little mice, and, if you please, has the rabble steal their boat! A pirate band as incompetent as this one could never have committed an atrocity worthy of their end." - Nick Milne

It is of interest because the Vulpine Imperium was created in 2003 as a spinoff of Terrouge. The VI was directly inspired by, or even may be regarded as an expansion of Greenhawk's setting, albeit one that has grown and endured far beyond the seed of its creation.
