PIRATES PLAGUE ELROOD SECTOR, EMPIRE PROMISES ANTI-PIRACY CAMPAIGN

Early today, traders from Ossirag reported having responded to a distress
call on the little-trafficed Kidron-Ossirag trade route, only to find a
carbon-scored wreck devoid of life. After a polite inquiry, first mate Adan
Chaz agreed to describe the sight. "It was, like, all shot up, man. You
see? Not just the shallow carbon scoring of your common freighter, but big
holes like those from turbolasers. And one of the three engines were just
plain missing, man, I mean it wasn't there at all anymore! Mad, man, mad.
But it still had atmosphere, only there weren't anyone inside, and the hold
was empty." The first mate's testimony suggests that Dorok's fleet has been
at it again, and the old rustbucket must have had some REAL expensive cargo
to be attacked this far outside normal trade lanes. Imperial Moff Andral,
in a rare public speech on Derilyn this afternoon, authorized General Hul
to use all means possible to eradicate this threat to honest spacefarers,
before leaving for the resort world of Spira in his personal space yacht.
What steps will be taken are not known at this moment, but General Hul are
known for his radical measures.

About the Article:
How people would interpret the sight of my PCs' previous ship. They weren't
attacked by pirates at all, but an engine malfunctioned and started a fire,
therefore they sent a distress call. A new PC responded, and took them on
his ship. Then they used their previous ship as target practice for the new
freighters very illegal old turbolaser that occupies the whole front hold.
