Plot Summary

Part 1

During the initial boarding of the station the crew, led by Brayden Jorey and Oddas Aria discover a small crew of bandits and a dozen or so Laudean prisoners, bound for a life of slavery. Splitting up the two, and Irina Pavlova, manage to bring life to the station and drive the squatters back, rescuing the current prisoners. The effort does flush out the existence of a cloaked ship in orbit of the station, which the newly minted commanders of the Thunder decide to pursue.

Part 2

Some quick work on the part of the Thunder crew manages to estimate the destination of the cloaked ship, an out of the way system named Xertis. Deploying a Tachyon grid using their fighters they manage to deploy ahead of the cloaked vessel, and board it before it reaches its destination, an apparently abandoned space station.

Boarding the ship, an Away Team finds a group of Laudean prisoners, while another group secures the bridge and sabotages the ship.

Part 3

The Thunder is heading home under QSSD when a Laudean kills an Engineering Officer.
