More reports of pirate attacks are coming in; once again the pirate group known as [Impaler] is behind it. Although our ship made it out of the system alive and with only minor damages we simply can not something like this go unpunished. Like before the pirate failed to identify himself or make a communication of any kind before opening fire. His ship did have [Impaler] Crimson painted on one side. Measures need to be taken gentlemen; if nothing is done to protect our supply ship soon we will have no supply at all. I will be putting all trade on hold and will be keeping the supply trains safe in there docks on Corfu. I refuse to keep losing men and marital to these pirates, I will resume trade when we can at least get some kind of escort together.
