To the Captain of Altarian freighter 4223-3: Doubtless you have heard rumors of the impending conflict between our civilization and that of the Drengin. I have the unfortunate responsibility to inform you that the route you are currently occupying has been deemed financially unsound, and you, your ship and crew, are scheduled to be, well...blown up. You will be happy to note, however, that the Company will suffer no financial loss on the current cargo, as per Sec54, paragraph D, of your contract, the cost of the cargo will be deducted from your wages, and any remaining balance will be billed to your families. Thank you for your many years of loyal service; and have a nice day.

Sincerely, Rax Minor, CFO, Galaxywide Package Services- "Give your package a ride on Galaxywide!"
