After breakfast Harison headed to miss Blanes cabin he knocked on the door. "Miss Blane this is Harison Dawn I was just wondering if you are you free for a chat if this is not a good time please let and know when would suit you?"

(Margaret)"Come in Admiral. I am awake, when you get older you will understand, early to bed early to rise. What can I help you with?"

"I hear ya I’m not that far behind you. I’m just looking for some guidance and your knowledge. I have a plan for the Harrier that I am going to propose to the crew later on tonight. The only thing that I’m having trouble with is how to distribute information. My plan would involve cultivating contacts and informants in different ports to feed us info on high value targets my problem is how to get this information out fast enough to us that it’s useful. I just don’t see a way so I think it’s just going to be more of a tracking and using the information to predict when they’ll be carrying high value cargo or make it after making a big sale with lots of cash. So my questions for you is 3 things was this something you used to do and if not, did you have a better system than I have here? The next would be would you be interested in broken a meeting between me and some of your farmer informant now? I’m not asking you to vouch for us just for a meeting and we would pay them and you for the meeting no matter the outcome. All you would have to do is contact them ask them if they’re still in the game and interested in meeting a potential backer and if i can’t convince them no hard feelings we paying for the time. And the 3rd question is how did you pay for this information? If you did was it a percentage of be taken of a tip they gave or was it the standard standard yearly/monthly fee? No no need to answer straight away you can see how we operate at the end of the mission and make a decision there either way."

Map

After dinner Harison messaged the other tree crew members to meet on the bridge he had something he wanted to discuss. After everyone showed up, he locked the door so they wouldn’t be disturbed.

Harison pulls up a sector map of the region and zoom in on an area and starts to draw out 3 routes and makes some areas. "Thank you gentlemen for joining me. This is a plan I have being working on for us to accomplish our mission. This is just laying out a plan for the Harrier. Again this is just a proposal of a plan it’s open to change or being abandoned as the crew see fit."

"So to start getting money in to Dranix the city is going to have to make room for people to stay after a week in space people want to cut loose. We all so need them to want to go there to spend money so we need a casino, bar, hotel and restaurants. Now the next part is to redirect trade through Dranix we have to look at the main two trade routes through the Trojan reach Hierate route and the Florian route. To start with, there is no way for the J2 Florian route to go through Dranix. I think we should focus on the Hierate route." He gestures at the map pointing out the route starting at Fist and ending at Tyokh.
"So for attacking as a pirate with a jump 2 ship my plan is to jump in from one parsec so there’s fuel left to make a jump 1 out no need to refuel. We would lurk on the outskirts attacking either ships coming out to clear the gravitational pull or just arriving in making sure we have time before the system defence boats can get to us. Some recon is needed for 2 things info on ships cargo as we have a small hold we need high value per ton cargo. The 2nd is info on plant defences number of ships patrols etc."

"Looking at the system map I’ve marked out the two routs. So to direct traffic to the Aslan hierarch through Dranix We would need ships to follow the Florian route up until Blue then jump to Clark then Dranix and then to Khual in Aslan Space." "This would mean leaving the Florian route free of piracy for the time being encourage people to keep trading this route. Witch has the same 7 jumps with one of them being a J1 so saving a little on fuel."

"But not wanting to affect one route leaves us with only been able to raid the planets I have maked with the red X with the strategy I listed above. The four planets in this area not part of the route all have gas giant to refuel. So this means we can raid Argona, Sperle and Teck-Word and jump into a neighbouring system. Now Argona only has one neighbouring system so will be very obvious where we’re jumping in and out of. The other two have 3 neighbouring systems making it easy to mix it up where we’re going and going from. Tech-Word is the highest tech level world in this area so they may be harder to raid this would need more recon and information about the defences before for making decisions about it. Most Imperial escorts use a J-3 shortcut of Acid to Teck-World meaning that these area have more of an imperial presence but Argona and Sperle are not used so this means they have less defensive."

"Then there is Paal the last stop on the route before Aslan space. The only place to jump in from is sink small population world of religious fanatics. The other thing about Paal is that it’s made up up of a number of ruling governments if we could stir up tensions between them buy under handed means and manipulating groups to action to lead to war this would disrupt the area and cause people not to want to be going through here."

"The next problem that I see is the Aslan of Khusai are a clan called Hrakoea who would like to see the Hierate return to there Conquering ways. So we would need to show them how much they can make through trade and maybe make some sort of alliance with them this could be a diplomatic ship that could make this deal. Also, if we could turn them against the clan Ahroay’if (of plant Tyokh)or vice versa then they might be interested in disrupting their revenue from trade help our cause for directing the flow of the trade. Maybe staging a fake assassination attempt and frame the other clan."

"Now, if we get a second ship that could be used as a trader I suggest trying to set up an legitimate trade business starting off by going back-and-forth from Paal and Teck-World trading food stuffs on one side for industrial on the other. This is twofold giving us an outlet to fencer stolen goods but also to develop informants and contacts in both worlds who could give us information of traders passing through what they are carrying and where they’re going. As we don’t want to be wasting our time robbing a ship to find they are carrying food stuff. If we know they made a big sale they could be carrying a lot of money too that cargo is not the only thing they have. I am looking at how to move and use this information could just be building a profile on the high value targets and using it to predict there cargo or attacking them as they come out as Aslan space knowing they made a big sale and get there money before they can bank it."

"As this may take time and money to set up we could turn part time pirate hunter. With doing one of 2 things with them get them to sign on to our fleet giving us a percentage of there making for protection and info on targets. Or turn them in for a bounty, keep there ship selling it or repurposing it for our use as a legitimate trader or as a pirate vessel."

"This is just a frame work for a plan it’s open to change and removal of parts. The idea would be to build a network of informants,legitimate businesses to make money and fence gear and have a fleet of pirate ships and trade vessels. Just my thoughts on what the King wants and how we might start to achieve that. Any feedback good or bad is welcome. 100% there is stuff I missed or over looked and this will not be for everyone as this road will be bloody and messy."
