A lone defender streaks through the sky of Levo, Crashlanding into a mountian. A mysterious man, beaten up from the crash emerges the flaming wreckage. "damn rouge pirates" he says to himself.

He walks into the bar for a likely person to take him to Palshife. With luck he finds one and takes off to Palshife.

Beeblebrox's ships are firing upon the defence fleet of Evildrome. The Jolly Roger quickly jumps off into another system to repair it's damage. As the last pirate ship is about to blown up and victory for Beeblebrox seems sure the lone pirate ship fires it's anti-matter weapon destroying it and half of Beeblebrox's ships in the system. 53 mil is then spent building a defence fleet of 5 upgraded Kestrels. They wait on Evildrome for Beeblebrox's next move.

Greetings, i've got another job for you. How would you like to take over New Antigua in the NGC-1027 system for me? I have no pre-set pay for you. I know this is a big job and will require alot of resourses. I will pay you to replenish everything you lose and depending on how well you do your job, between 5 to 20M.

"Orders are to take them by force. Launch all Lightnings."- Fleet Commander
The 4 Warbirds launch their complement of 2 Lightnings each(ammounting to 8).
Opal launches it's defence fleet of 40 defenders. Lighnings hide in the shadows of their motherships and fire missiles and rockets while the Warbirds fire their disrupters and missiles. Through the barrage only a group of 4 remain who promptly surrender.

Masses of torpedos impact opon The warbirds disabling one. Soon the consistant disrupter and missile fire takes it's toll on the enemy fleet. The last 2 Rapiers hyperspace into the disabled warbird destroying it and it's fighters.

Afterwards DeadBeat commented that he became a scapegoat for the loss of the pirate fleet as a result of Pirate Council's lust for power. He also claims the Pirate Council exaggerated the number of vessels lost and did not count the recent pirate victories. The Pirate Council refuses to comment on the matter.>

The mercenary fleet quickly powered up and made the trip from Jadzia, to Pelagon, to Zebetrious, to Capella (through which they went very quickly, Den'zar did not favor the Confeds very much), and finally stopping in Levo to refuel.
