The Devil to Pay Begins!

‘I don’t doubt our capacity to survive. But this draws attention. Starfleet’s been increasing their patrols. Reports rise of them mobilising task forces -’

‘And yet,’ said the Pirate Queen, her voice cutting through the argument like a micro-blade, ‘we’re still here. Profiting.’ She leaned forward, and the gathered lieutenants stiffened. ‘We’ve tasted only a fraction of the wealth we can enjoy from this bounty. Not merely in coin – but power. Influence. We don’t deal with petty pirates, now, but kings. That gives us the power to be kingmakers. Starfleet will bark, yes. Threaten. But what can they do? Their hands are tied – by their own treaties, their own red tape, their own principles. We are beyond them now.’

With the publication of our launch fiction, the Bravo Fleet campaign ‘The Devil to Pay‘ begins! Lasting from today until the end of Sunday, December 15th, over the course of the next six weeks Bravo Fleet writers will explore the story of not only the nefarious Orion Syndicate and the recent surge in its criminal activities, but the mysterious devices flooding the black market. From the dens of M’Talas Prime to the fringes of the Triangle to the boardrooms of New Sydney, is there any shadow in the galaxy to which their influence cannot stretch? And what of the terrifying rumours, reports, and whispers that tell of a new influence driving the Syndicate to these daring and dangerous heights? The last holdout, the last gambit of one of Starfleet’s most committed and enigmatic enemies: the last survivors of the Changeling conspiracy that nearly destroyed the Federation.

Well, that’s rather down to all of you, isn’t it?

This is what you’ve been waiting for. Ready… steady… write!
