Regarding: Slave traders in Texas system
While travelling towards the New York system I encountered a few merchant class vessels with illegal cargo onboard. In the Texas system today I located 3 traders carrying slaves onboard.
Belrend also attempted to deliver Cardamine to Planet Houston.
There were no available Liberty Forces on shift to handle the capture.
His ship was engaged and destroyed for refusal to drop the contraband and for prior slave trafficing.
