Krellsul loved farming miner ships. The idiots do all the work. He gets all the ore. The despair on their faces when he shows up within minutes of their big haul. It makes his gleebs tremble.

His ship the Murderedge Bladefury, is a welded patchwork of junkyard ships. A one man fighter with cargo hauler bays welded to the undercarriage, and the plasma driver of a Kri destroyer between them. The scrapped destroyer's power plant and main thrusters make the ship fast enough to tear itself apart.

The Murderedge Bladefury was likely to have done so on the rapid trip into the system. A skilled pilot or a reasonably advanced pilot assist AI can ensure a safe flight. It is in fact true that Krellsul Jendarm is a decent pilot. (It is also true that the AI he purchased from Jendarm parts and used ships, prevented 3 catastrophic ship failures and 7 navigation errors.)

If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

Krellsul's stepfather had sold him the AI, but more importantly he had also sold most of the mining ships their sensor arrays. A small dial home command board installed in the sensor unit

Let Krellsul know when any valuable ore is scanned.

The Murderedge Bladefury set a course to appear between the star and the mining ship. They might see a blip on their sensors if they were paying attention to anything other than the ore they were mining for him.

It was just too easy.
