Raid on Camp Stormbreaker

In 5 ATP, following investigations into the disappearances of civilian shipping, the Terran Empire dispatched Captain Jim Hawkins and his squadron into the region surrounding Durant's Black Hole. After destroying three separate Crimson Sky patrol groups and recovering an abandoned cutter, the squadron launched a surprise attack on the shipyard known as Camp Stormbreaker and its stationed fleet, in the process destroying the outfit's prison camp and one of the ships in dock. In the ensuing battle, the garrisoned pirate fleet was destroyed, resulting in the death of Captain Fulsom. With the fleet out of commission and a passing fast frigate on patrol arriving as reinforcement, Imperial troops stormed the camp. While many pirates would be captured or killed during the fighting, a large group would make an escape aboard The Claw: a galleon docked at the shipyard mid-refit. Upon learning of John Silver's involvement with the military buildup at Camp Stormbreaker, Captain Hawkins would transport the remaining prisoners to Outpost Regina, leaving the RLS Challenger to pursue The Claw.
