Alright. Thanks. So, going with the minimum, Dave has 1200 pirates at the Rosetta Nebula Relay.

Probably won't take advantage of this; while Halios has a station on Omega, none of the important NPCs are there right now or have any reason to contact those characters.HC won't have anyone there other than possibly mercenaries scouting things out. They plan on keeping tabs on whoever takes it after the skirmish.

Ah well. Maybe contact will be made if Dave gets the Relic. Assumuing he doesn't explode in the fight.
