     Duke Siliscus sat at the helm of his ship, watching eagerly as 'The Copperhead' moved towards a large cargo ship. They'd managed to sneak up on the imperial ship by cutting coms and easing up slowly.
     "Bring coms back up, I'm hailing their captain. I will give them one chance to surrender" Siliscus said to the Communication officer
  "You're on all coms, and where there's a holo screen they'll hear you, beginning full scale broadcasting in 3,2..."

     "This is Duke Siliscus, captain of the Copperhead and i am giving you one chance to allow us to dock. Once docked we will take whatever goods we please and be on our way. If you refuse we will cripple your engines, board, take what we like and then burn the remaining cargo. We will kill anyone who resists but those whom surrender will be guaranteed safe passage to the closest imperial planet, albeit stripped of weapons and armor along with all credits. You have 30 seconds to comply, if you fire up your engines or engage your Hyper drive we will fire."

    "This is Captain Weq, refuse your offer"
As soon as the words left Weq's lips The Copperhead fired a precise salvo of blaster cannons that left the cargo ship crippled. Siliscus lead the boarding party with two dozen of his finest men. Well maybe finest wasn't the right word for  these men.
    As soon as the blast doors between the shuttle and cargo ship opened Siliscus heard dozens of men shout " Don't Fire! We've accepted your ultimatum!" They would be dropped off within one week, their weapons and armor used on the ship. In total, every crew member with the exception of the captain and 6 bodyguards.
         Duke Siliscus had the pleasure of separating the captains head from torso with his Ryyk, but his bodyguards were cut down by his men. The raid ended with a great success, the cargo on board looted had military weapons, along with lots of food and medicine.

       The Duke was greatly satisfied.
