We'd chased this group of Dark
Elves across half a dozen systems. Their MO was the same
everywhere — they'd jack a ship, slaughter the crew and dump their
bodies into space. Their last hit had nabbed them a Jump-1 free
trader. The nearest system was uninhabited but they'd be able to
refuel at the gas giant there. The next system up the main,
however was too tempting a target for them to pass up. We had a
little jump-2 Scout/Courier loaded for bear. We'd reach the target
system days before they'd get there. Hopefully, they'd never know
what hit them.
Starships go missing in the void of
space. Wars and riots break out over trivial things.
Assassinations plunge the universe into chaos. Are these random
events, or is there something more sinister afoot?
