While I was on patrol in Honshu today a trader expressed concerns about his safety in the Sigma 13 system. Another trader passing in the opposite direction confirmed his worst fears when he report presence of multiple pirate vessels in the system. I agreed to escort the trader as far as Gas Miner Naha.
When we came out of the trade lane at Naha there were 2 Corsair and 3 Outcast ships fighting around the station. I ordered all of them to leave the area, but they didn't respond and kept fighting. The Outcasts managed to drive off the Corsairs while I was keeping an eye on the traders between the trade lanes.
After that the Outcasts turned their attention to my ship and explained that they will not enter Kusari if I leave them.
Off course I could not trust the word of a drug addict pirate, so I decided the best way to ensure that they don't come to Kusari will be do destroy their ships. An CR transport came to range and started firing on them, but the pirates focused on my ship. This was their biggest mistake and they were destroyed one by one.
As soon as the area was secured I returned back to Honshu.
End of report
