The pirate base was nothing more than a union of several captured freighters and other ships, which had been anchored to an asteroid in the middle of space, however with nine operational ships, two modified freighters, a combat frigate, four cargo cruisers, and three fast skiffs, the force that this group could develop was too large for its victims to resist.
If it had not been for the tip-off about the titanium shipment and the specific order of this corrupt official, I would never have accepted, but pirates rarely had access to the route sheets of freighters heading inland.
The risk of a navy ship patrolling this area was too high, normally their operations focused on the traffic of goods in the most remote regions, especially in the weak commercial lines of the new colonies.
