This is Kyle Morris, Vagrant Raiders, acting CO of Dubhe Squadron.

We had a pirate in Humboldt approximately one standard day ago. As shown in the attached datalinks, the pirate Marcus.Blake demanded five million credits from a DSE excavator. He was rather impatient, and began firing on the miner before he had a chance to transfer the payment.

I, along with another DSE miner, held off the pirate gunship long enough for heavy Raider backup to arrive, specifically VGS Blinded By Light. Together, we destroyed the pirate vessel, though a glitch in our scanners led to some minor confusion on that point...

Unfortunately, we don't seem to have detailed scans of the vessel. It was an Ahoudori heavy explorer, poorly-armed and flown but with reinforced armor. The pirate pilot seemed to be working alone; the telltale marks of Hacker, Xeno, or Rogue modifications weren't present.

Since the pirate was harassing DSE miners, I thought I should report it to you.
