THE PRIVATEER
Empty space and raging seas, pirates and raiders comin' in from all sides, and then there's the Privateer. A death trap, a nightmare, that's what the galaxy is now. But the credits are still around, and there's lots of 'em to be made in a galaxy where everyone's afraid of everyone else, and nobody so much as trusts
their mother. There's money to be made, and few know how to really make it.
(or)
Time was a merchant could run the lanes with nothing more than a glorified tug and make it from Salzeider to Corrican without waking up. That ain't work no more. You wanna run the lanes these days, you best be a smooth, sneaky sumbitch or the hardest fucker in the skies, and pray to whatever god you worship your crew's up to the task.
One wrong step, and you're space dust.
