Intercepted Transmission

The following transmission was intercepted last night.

Attention commercial vessels operating in the vicinity of Hales Moon. A cruiser and several carriers have taken up position in the vicinity of Hale's Moon due to a positive NavSat ID on the Firefly-class vessel "Jack of Trades" which has been identified as a vessel conducting piracy and ground assault raids on several colonies and outposts. We believe the "Jack of Trades" is hiding in the asteroid field and we are positioned to cut off escape routes. We believe they are low on fuel and may attempt a raid on Hale's Moon - we will be launching a fighter sweep of the asteroid field at approximately 1-2 pm ((SLT)) Saturday ((7/25 )) in an attempt to flush them out. That is all.

It is strongly suggested all Hale's residents be on their guard,a s the potential dangers to our community are evident.

It is also of worthy note, the Jack of Trades was recently stolen from its docking berth at Blackburne Downport by wasteland Raiders. This poses an additional threat alongside the Alliance presence.
