Task Force Predator dove into the Nyxian Gap without fear. The relatively sparse concentration of asteroids did not hinder the advance of the fleet all that much.
Even so, none of the Larkinsons let down their guards. The Nyxian Gap already fell outside of the scope of civilized space for the most part, and that meant that different rules applied.
The abundance of ship and mech wreckage floating between the asteroids already served as sufficient warning. Those who traveled through the fields of Wreckage Paradise had to contend against the possibility of ambushes at any time.
It was only because the Larkinson Clan was too big and strong for most pirates to challenge on their own accord.
That did not mean the pirates let off other prey, though!
After several days of total silence, the task force finally stumbled upon their first pirate encounter!
