The Servivce of the Sword[]
The elimination of the ship's entire crew and its passengers had been an unpleasant necessity, but one which Manpower's Silesian hirelings had protested. Not out of squeamishness, of course, but because dead passengers couldn't be ransomed by living relatives. They were being paid well for their services, but no self-respecting pirate was going to turn down the opportunity to enhance his profits, and they'd objected to losing this one. Ringstorff hadn't liked it, but he'd passed on their complaints to the home office, at which point some REMF genius had come up with the notion of placating the pirates by allowing them to dispose of the transport itself through their own contacts in Silesia. At a little over two million tons it hadn't been all that large, but it was still worth the odd billion Solarian credit or two, and the pirates' credit accounts had done well out of it.

- I'm afraid you'll have to be more specific please, Dotz, since I don't recall deleting any information. I rewrote it to present it more in line with how the editing conventions of the site say it's suppose to be presented. If you'll notice, all the information you've mentioned here is present in the second paragraph of the article. - DarkScribe (talk) 00:35, October 1, 2019 (UTC)
