Richard York, man who originated from planet Manhattan, once had a job as Captain of Universal trade ship.
Once a captain, replaced by some artificial intelligence nav computer, now a man without a place to call home, and ship to fly away, decided to join Xenos.
Soon, he has become faithful consultant of William Patrick...base commander. Together they they made a plan to make Xenos stronger. One hundred of Xeno pilots from whole Sirius were called to Ouray base where they received their part of greater plan.
They were separated into small flight squads of five fighters, each with specific mission and target. Targets were from whole Sirius very distant from one another. This whole plane needed to be carried in complete secrecy. Third day 20 squads deployed on their missions.

- This is big day for Xenos, thanky you for this York - Patrick said

- There will be even bigged days if plan works, - said York - now we only need to wait.

Six months later, most of the squads returned to Ouray and only last one was expected.

- This is it, - Patrick said - we have contact with last squad...inbound in 3 mins...

- Good, now for the second part of plan....Prepare my ship....Now excuse me William, it is time for me to get ready...

- Is everything aboard? - York asked

- Yes. Everything is on board...All missions were success and all items are here. - Patrick responded

- I will be on my way then...wish me luck.

In front of Alcatraz depot...Starblazer with Xeno markings surrounded by 10 Rogue Hyena fighters...but still, nobody fires...

- This is Alcatraz depot, state your intentions here or be destroyed

- This is Xeno vessel, captain Richard York on board...i come in peace..do not fire...i ask to speak with base commander...i have proposal that he wont deny...

Moments passed with no reply. Then suddenly:

- This is Howard Boone. I am base commander....what kind of proposal the scum of the Sirius can have for me...

- Let me dock and i will explain.

- Granted. But when you dock, you will be put in the air lock and if i don't like what i hear...well, then you can imagine what will happen...

Nobody really knows what about they spoke of or what items were on board Yorks ship. Only thing that is known for sure is that Yorks small Starblazer never undocked from Alcatraz...However, later that day, covered by ion storm one Rogue gunboat has left and set its course to unknown...

- Welcome back my friend, - Patrick said to York - I still cant believe that you made it back. Not only back, but with that ship. I had my doubts about our plan, i must be honest.

- Me to. I had my share of fear to. But you know every man has a price. Our only job was to find out what was Boones...Even if we are enemies, we share same goal. If you put that goal in right perspective and offer nice compensation for any problem caused man can achieve a lot. I told you; Money turns the world, and nobody is immune to it.
