Captain Dave Yenzor

[D'Ghor]

Its been a while since Ageira wanted me to send a progress report, so I have a lot to say on the matter. Firstly Ill have to mention the Xeno crisis as of late, with Ageiras lack of understanding as to how they are growing so strong and lack of pilots to escort traders. I fought 2 Xenos in Colrado, my ship destroyed their ships with relative ease, later that same day they seemed to of purchased new ships and engaged again, I thought, in my own arrogance that Id be able to destroy them again. They upgraded their weapons systems with the aid of a 3rd Xeno who all engaged me. I realised I had no chance against; I tried to run with no success. My ships hull was being ripped apart. I sent a distress but had no reply. I tried to negotiate our surrender, but they continued to fire, crew sustaining minors injuries the Xenos were determined to make me pay for what had happened earlier that day. With damage report critical I made the decision to abandon ship, the ship didnt blow up completed, it drift in space disabled. My crew and me drifted in space for what seemed like hours before the distress call was answered and someone came by to pick up the escape pods and tractor the damaged vessel to a mooring fixture.
In another encounter with the Xenos, this time fighting with lawful forces whilst on escort duties, my bomber sustained heavy damage and need to be repaired and refitted with an upgraded weapons system, its still not finished completely, but battle ready again.
My transport vessel with 1000 cargo is great, but with the death of a highly respected Ageira Transport captain, I was given the chance to command a better vessel, I had to pay a substantial amount to fix it up as it was in a pirating incident involving Rogue vessels, 2 of crew died excluding the captain. The ship is a large transport, operating with a skeleton crew at the moment. It has a cargo hold of 2000, with has its benefits.
The large transport seemed to attract a lot more pirates, bigger ship means larger cargo meaning more profit for scum like Lane Hackers and Liberty Rogues. I try my hardest to escape them when I can, most of the time successful. Any time I give in to their demands, Im helping them fund their own cause against us, something I will not tolerate. Sometimes the ship takes heavy damage, the other day I had to dock at Baltimore Shipyard, NY for substantial repairs, I took the opportunity to refit the ship with improved counter measure systems, it took hours.
Continuously evading pirates annoys them, I had to hire an escort for my own safety, particularly against a certain character in a Gunboat, I think he is a Rogue not too sure though, criminal scum dont deserve recognition. He was willing to pay 2 million credits for my death, much to his disappointment, I didnt die, and I managed to haul my shipment to Newcastle... just not on time.
I destroyed a civilian ship today; my ship plunged out from the trade lane and collided with a small ship destroying it in the process. The single crewmember managed to eject before the ship was destroyed. I added my condolences to him for the incident whilst taking him to the nearest station. Ageira has stated that they will not reimburse him in the event of a lawsuit as my trader had the right of way.
My shipment of Berylium heading for Pueblo was held up at Manhattan for hours due to a Xeno problem in Colorado, Military forces ensured me they were dealing with the problem, I finally managed to get through to Pueblo to deliver my shipment.
Rough times have shrouded the future with doubt, i have risked my life so recklessly with out noticing the dangers. Space is always more dangerous than one thinks
