With the rescue mission complete, Max turned his attention to the trade deals that needed to be made in the outer reaches of the Death Wind Territory. Normally, these would be among the last to join the Alliance, but many of them were already on good terms with the Reavers since they were the only group willing to run the embargo placed around the Mercenary-run territory and bring them essential supplies.
The closest base to them belonged to the Black Wolves, a Mercenary Company with long-term ties to the Loutian Clan, a Reaver Family like the Tarith Family. They were trusted allies of the Reavers and were on the shortlist for the alliance, so Max sent a message to their homeworld immediately.
