"Just before this week’s tick, in a display of animal cunning rather than true human intelligence, a small force of Code pirate ships successfully pillaged three T9 EIC trade ships (destroying one for “the joy of it”) of nearly 500M credits worth of void opals, painite, and rare goods. An unnamed source estimates this to be at least 60% of EIC’s known accessible reserves. The impact to EIC trade efforts (to say nothing of the high population of grind averse pilot federation CMDRs) is as yet, unknown due to EIC’s lack of response to the most successful heist in Elite Dangerous history."
From a source at the highest levels of The Code:
"This heist has been a long time coming.
Not only did we start by first pirating one of EIC's most valuable commodities; CMDR Vivid Velleity himself, henceforth known as DREAD PIRATE VIVID, but we managed to steal greater than 60% of their total accessible purchasable inventory in one go.
This is the biggest single act of piracy in Elite Dangerous, and for The Code, and has made Dread Pirate Vivid a legend for all time!!!!
Long live Dread Pirate Vivid!!! Long live The Code!!!
YARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!"
A ransom letter was also sent to our outlet. It reads:
"To the East India Company; Here are the demands of The Code:
We have it on good authority that you have exactly 1600 Void Opals on hand, under (obviously or it would already be ours) much tighter lock and key. We will kindly release the rare and mined goods we have appropriated from you, in return for no less than 1499 of said Void Opals, to which we will leave the remaining 101 to you to rebuild your trade 'empire', as it were.
If you fail to meet these demands, your commodities will be used how a group of pirates sees fit which could include - dropping them to new players in Eravate; selling them to buy booze and drugs; or even deciding to come to your home system and drop them in your main stations instance and watch it all go boom, and whatever doesn't we will gleefully rail gun out of existence while we sing pirate shantys and glorify the legendary Dread Pirate Vivid and our heist on the indomitable East India Company.
You must now choose between your ability to help the community or your precious Void Opals in storage.
You have 32 Hours.
Sincerely and with zero respect,
The Pirates of The Code"
