Royalty and Rogues

A group of Mercenaries arrives on planet Bryceland searching for work, as the planet had been raided by pirates recently. They find it immediately: the planetary ruler, Duke Morris Davion-Harland hires them. Their objective: rescue his daughter, kidnapped by the pirate group than captured her: Silver's Slayers. The mercenaries begin a search that carries them through Draconis Combine space, and later to the Periphery. After a long search, they locate the pirates on planet Antallos, but after attacking the pirate base and being defeated and captured, find more than they expect: The princess hadn't been captured: she fled with the Pirates willingly. The pirates and mercenaries must join forces and return to Bryceland to defeat a traitor and imminent tyrant who threatens the planet.
