The Tul's Revenge- no wait, the VUL's revenge, named for the Supreme Ruler. It was once the greatest weapon of your people- left in a hangar among storage material. Shameful- though fusion power ships quickly overcame this fat, double-bridge corvette in usefulness. Without time to install a new fusion drive, its fission batteries are replaced with magna-ring batteries, using the Baalathi technology, and charged up for a fight.
Without knowing where The Rock hides itself between its raids, you have to wait until the next attack, and the Vul's Revenge quickly comes into action. Using its signature weapon, the <span class="mu-s"><span class="mu-b">Sapphire Avalanche</span></span>, it easily destroys the stone shell of The Rock, breaking the ship apart and ending the pirate's reign of terror. Without their signature ship, the weaker ships of the pirates stand no chance and are quickly dispatched by auxiliary forces. Unfortunately, some of the stone shrapnel strikes and destroys the Sapphire Avalanche's focusing discs, made of uniquely large and pure lapis lazuli. While your weapon technology will no doubt replace your laser weapons sooner rather then later, this loss does feel like a loss of a unique cultural artifact and special weapon of war.
In the meanwhile, the last of the pirates and a few survivors from The Rock itself, including the captain, managed to survive in a life pod. They are punished in the traditional Jaaxtian way.
