Crimmond

A single message came across the airwaves... a man long dead was speaking to a group of men just as dead. He seemd passionate and honestly seemed to belive what he was saying. "-confidence in our armed forces, with the unbounding determination of our people, we will gain the inevitable triumph. So help us God.
"I ask that the Congress declare that since the unprovoked and dastardly attack by Japan on Sunday, December 7, 1941, a state of war has existed..." A piece of history that changed the planet Earth forever floated through space...
The comm oficer of the CSS Discord never heard the message. The ship's AI had discarded it as background noise. He was too busy at the moment anyway to sit back and ponder how important that speech was.
The three pirate ships arched away from the convoy and shot towards a pulsar nearby. The five Crimmond warships followed, wepons blazing away at them, destroying the smallest one as the other two split up, coming around and opening up with PPBs(Plasmatic Pulse Beams) and the shields of a Nebulon-B class frigate fail, it's engines and lights going dark. The attack is pressed and the massive dreadnaught vaporized one of the pirate cruisers with a full broadside blast of missiles. The other decided to run and lept into hyperspace.
On the CSS Discord:
Admiral Jameson sighed. "Take us back to the Freehold. Lets get them operational again."
The comm officer spoke up. "The convoy is sending their thanks and stating that the pirates broke off for unknown reasons, at least according to reports."
He smiled. "Send a reply... You are quite welcome and thank you for keeping our operations quiet."

The CSS Discord. Not just another Crimmond dreadnaught. It was flagship of the Extra-System Taskforce. The fleet of 25 ships that didn't return to Sol to be stripped of FTL equipment. They were the rogues of the galaxy, getting supplies wherever and however possible, fighting to free the spacelines of pirate control and all the while having almost 1.7 billion Crimmars worth of bounties on their heads, 5 million of Jameson alone...
