The Su’kim Freight Pilots
“Riches are worthless in the day of wrath”
“And the faithless are trapped by their own desires”
No one knows what happened that day, but the Su’kim Freight Pilots were never seen again. Some say they were destroyed by a powerful storm that appeared out of nowhere. Others say they were caught up in a black hole that suddenly opened up in space. But no one knows for sure what happened to them.
One thing is for sure, though – their riches became worthless in the day of wrath. The cargo they had been carrying was lost along with them, and no one ever recovered any of it. And the faithless who had hired them were left stranded, their own desires trapping them in place.
One day, a group of faithless merchants came to them with an offer they couldn’t refuse. If the Su’kim pilots could deliver a shipment of gold to a remote planet, they would be given a fortune beyond their wildest dreams. The pilots knew that this was a trap – but they also knew that they could never resist such an opportunity.
They flew to the planet and delivered the gold, but as soon as they landed they were surrounded by armed guards. The merchants had lied – there was no treasure waiting for them on that planet. They were trapped, with no way out and no hope of escape.
