The galaxy is a big place. Star upon star with the occasional speck of a planet to fill the void. Everything else is filled with danger, whether local pirates or any number of dangers in space, and you will not be missed
Pirates like you wait for the oppertunity every day. A massive raid, perhaps. Or maybe taking someone important hostage. To you pirates, prestige, money and power is all that matters, and will propel you into the history books
But today you are on the opposite side of the wall...
2 weeks ago a distress call was recieved from a ship near the Veridium Cluster.

Since pirates are so common, this is hardly out of the ordinairy, except for the fact this wasn't just any ship. It was the X.D.S* Pierced Thoughts. The sector's royal family's flagship.

No other information is known, no ransoms have been heard and nobody has found the ship... yet.
The favour of a Royal Family can go a long way in the universe, in power or gold. Many now flood the sector in hopes their wishes will be fullfilled.

Swindlers and Swashbucklers. Crusaders and Courtesans. Police and Pirates. Ladies and Gentlemen, the race is on...

*Xadriana Dynasty's ship

Captain Cornellius calls the ship into land on Feleros (the home planet of the royal family), where you are promptly greeted by security. It seems they came to greet you personally.

A young officer stands before you, flanked by two grizzled mercenaries. The officer stands as only an officer can, back straight and eyes front. It would appear as if he is just as thrilled to work with Pirates as you are to work with security.

He clears his throat and states, "I am Sergeant Major Heren, I'm here to brief you," he almost spits the words at you, his distaste palpable. "If you have any questions please ask them."
