The Scummy Corvid Dajorra System, Asteroid Belt

"I said what the hell do you mean there's patrol ships!? We made it past that asteroid station on the edge of the system, I thought everything further towards the sun was just a bunch of primitive beach people!"

"Sure, you just tell 'em that they're not real," responded a roughly dressed man, sarcasm thick in his tone as he stared at the sensor screen. A flight of KDY Firesprays were tracking their ramshackle freighter, sending hails that were going unanswered.

For Captain Rax of the Corvid this was the worst day in a long line of bad days. He had gotten his ship and crew out of Principate space by the skin of their teeth, their hyperdrive trying to melt as they made their emergency jump out. He was pretty sure they'd only gone a few systems over, but he hadn't expected to run into patrol craft after getting past Ol'val. They'd taken hours to get past the station, running only essential systems and trying to drift out of sensor short range before firing up the sublight engines again.

"Captain!? We gotta go to ground, boss, the Corvid can't outrun these cops, not with the shape she's in."

"The shape she's in? You were meant to be fixing the hyperdrive you useless bum. Just plot us a quick jump out of here," shouted back Rax, guiding the ship towards a rather pleasant looking green and blue world. He could hear his mechanic mate messing with the nav-computer and felt a brief flash of hope, before there was an actual flash in the cockpit, sparks flying as a console overloaded and the ship's navigation systems went haywire. For the patrol craft pilots it looked like the pirate ship had suddenly hit the redline and was speeding down towards the planet.

"Frak, frak, frak! Alright, everyone strap in, we're gonna...try to find somewhere soft to land!"

Hello there me Galeres folk! This is late. Very late.I apologize for that. Life, the holidays, ADHD waves hands things happen and you lose track of time.
