Mutiny
The new years festival was a disaster. Those short, bearded folk, the arms dealers, threw a fit over the sheer shortage of rum that winter's pillaging had yielded. As if they had already had too much to drink, they managed to inflict severe damage to your station on the way out. That was it- after a disaster like that, which would surely mean ANOTHER year of terrible booty, someone decided the captain had to go down. And people followed him.
Wait, there's the jerk mounting the podium now, over the old captain's dead body no less. Maybe it's not too bad- from the look of his mustache, he probably won't be as tight-fingered with the drink as your old captain. He announces that his name is Sensei (that can't possibly be what his mother called him) and that he's looking for some scallywags to pilot the light fighters.
Also, he announces that in the rebellion, most of the starcharts were lost. All that's left is a map of the Trade Belt- mostly asteroids colonized by the Tribunal, an organization that thrives on commerce. They don't like pirates- at least, not close to the homeworld. Fortunately, you're not close to the homeworld, so you should be able to deal on the asteroids. There's also the conveniently nearby Ion Corridor, the fastest way to traverse the Trade Belt. He also notes that our old maps not merely filled in what was missing here, but were much larger altogether.

Right now, your old capital ship,
The Keg Chugger, is under major repairs. It would be best to get it repaired before going anywhere, since the frigates -presently- aren't equipped with their own warp drives. He now says that anyone interested should step up and choose a frigate, before five or six other people do:
The Rupert is the fastest frigate. It sports two machine guns, two deflectors, and a gatling gun. It's not very heavily armored, but it's possible to use both deflectors on the front, which requires enemies to flank you. That's why it's the fastest.
The Dojo Prototype is good, but... it isn't done yet. While it has more armor and firepower from the Rupert, there are no deflectors and a bit of the core is exposed from the front. While fairly maneuverable, it's also not as fast. It does, however, have two gatling guns and two blasters.
Lastly, the Ugly Duckling is a missile boat. It sports one high-powered torpedo, and one machine gun. Best used from far away, as it has a wide frontal profile and little armor.

Oh, and you'd better hurry... it looks like we have spies from the DRM- The Directory for Rusticating Marauders, a Tribunal anti-piracy organization. We're picking up a few boogies coming our way, just now that we're at our weakest.
PLAYERS:
Name: SHADOWdump
Gender: Male
Color: Maroon
Ship: Dojo
Profile: "Those ships are going to blow up in weird ways."
Name: Sirius Arkham
Gender: Male
Ship model: Dojo, nicknamed Full Frontal Lobotomy
Ship color: Blue
Profile: A seasoned pirate of many years, Sirius signed up with his last remaining ship after he took part in the failed pirate invasion of a small colony in the asteroid belt "Pride of Hardent", known for its founding family, the Hardents. The pirate fleet was made up of many of the greatest pirates in the system, but only Arkham's smallest ship and its crew survived.
Sirius is a hardened man, caring only for loot, plunder, and his 3-year old son Wilbur, who he is forced to bring with him, despite the danger due to the government's cold-hearted attempt to kill him. Wilbur's nanny is a 30-year old, massive man that only goes by the nickname "Kong"; strong and silent, he only speaks when it is necessary to protect Wilbur.
The captain of the ship's marines, Hayley Vil'nsmile is the only female marine in history, but is notably ruthless and cold-hearted. Her lieutenant is Phil Tazment, a former naval garrison trooper who defected to the pirates' side after a police officer killed his wife, and was not punished.
The navigator, Gary Busey, is borderline insane. That's really all there is to say. The chef is Jordan Niles; known for her strange obsession with incredibly spicy food. The chief engineer, Welshy, is generally ignored save for comic relief. There is a strange alien on board named Fluffy, who only speaks in indecipherable honking noises. Finally, there is Wil Wheaton. Yes, the actor Wil Wheaton. No one knows how he got there, and no one cares. Everyone hates him, without exception.

Name: The RAM

Ship color: Dark purple with light purple highlights.
Profile: It is the same old tale, someone releases an interconnecting virus and a few trillion hosts later it achieves sentience. But unfortunately people don't know how to get over massive data loss and tend to get a little vengeful. Barely managing to download into a ship's core before being deleted. I was built into a small gunboat and fled into deep space before anyone noticed. Now I am hoping to run into some unscrupulous types who won't bother figuring out why I never leave the ship so long as I get results. Otherwise I expect my engines to wear out eventually, assuming my sanity doesn't give in first...
