The Veran ship TIS Chivalry is wrapping up a long mission of collecting “cargo” in human space. The eccentric officers have assembled quite a unique crew over the past couple of thousand years. They are on their way home to make a few very lucrative deliveries. They had hoped to slip through Frith space without being detected, but as the Peacekeeper-class ship HMS Anodyne approaches for a routine border inspection, it seems they will not be so lucky. The Captain and crew have only a few hours to resolve the situation with the cops and be on their way if they are to make their rendezvous, but not everyone may want the same resolution.
