The space freighter finally docked in Gretia. It had been a month and a half of travel in the middle of nowhere. Fortunately, and somewhat strangely, they had not encountered any pirates during their travels. It was a strange luck; even the crew members themselves said that these routes were much quieter than usual, as if the Pirates were wrapped up in their own things and had forgotten for a moment about that corner of the universe.

What the crew and passengers did not know was that one of the most important pirate bands operating in the region had been destroyed, and another at that moment was being mercilessly attacked by a war frigate under the command of Captain Jenkins.

The information about the fall of one band and the harassment of another was something that quickly spread among the rest of the subversive forces. Some fled the area and others stayed still as if they wanted to erase their presence until the attacks against them ended.
