Ven Zaran steps in to help a fellow intergalactic trader finish a contract only to become the target of pirates. As he loses cargo after cargo, he gets more and more creative in avoiding them, but it only serves to draw the pirate leader’s full attention. The only escape is for Ven to lay his own trap for the pirate leader, but it will have deadly consequences.
When pirates target galactic trader Ven Zaran, they get more than they bargained for.
Independent galactic trader Ven Zaran steps in to help a fellow trader, taking over his contract in a region rife with pirate activity. His certainty that he can avoid the pirates evaporates when he finds out the fine print in the contract forces him to follow specific routes. He begins to lose cargo after cargo and each attempt to avoid the pirates and still follow the contract only draws more attention from them. Trying to keep his income up, he takes some side jobs, but when one of those is captured, Ven puts all his efforts into recovering it and ends up breaking his contract. Now free, Ven lays his own trap for the pirates, but it is a dangerous game with deadly consequences.
