Get the hell out of here while you still can. Go find some sewer on Orion Prime to live in for all I care. And don’t come back!

Who invited you to the party? This system is mine. My crew and I have claimed it before any Federation bureaucrats could. Before any bloodwine-swilling brainless Klingons could.

This crew hates only one thing more than a bully. It is a bully with a ludicrous name. Shields up.
