We heard about a recent ban of Clothing on Black Flag Outpost.
At coordinates 2, -8, navigation reports that the event is 9 AU away. All crew has been recalled to the ship to prepare for immediate departure. I have ordered the first mate to fill our cargo hold with vudka and spice, no matter the expense at the exchange.
We will travel at maximum speeds with all available haste. All outstanding contracts have been voided, Shalun law be damned!

That's why Henry Rollins never wears a shirt. Turn this crate around! I implore you!

We heard about a recent shortage of Clothing on Tennath Outpost.
At coordinates 8, 10, navigation reports that the event is 15 AU away. After my previous experiences on Black Flag Outpost, I am concerned about the peril that may be found on this planet. Granted, the situation is not reported to be as extreme, but the unfathomable expense of having my entire crew treated for STDs nearly bankrupted me.
Cost be damned, the boost to morale will be worth it.
While I do expect to have both increased crew expenses and extended shore leave periods on this trip, I am planning more prudently to mitigate the negative impact on my bottom line by bringing vital trade goods to sell.
Having recently fired my first mate Johnson for improper and unnatural conduct with an Alien Artifact, I sent his replacement Sgt. Duke, an ex-commando military officer, to the Exchange to acquire any available clothing articles that we might be able to barter. Perhaps this was not the best decision I could have made.
I cannot question Duke's ferocity in battle after that episode last week where he tore off a Javat port inspector's head and used it to bludgeon three of his guards to death. However, I am concerned about his emotional faculties and cognitive capacities. He returned from the exchange with 30 tons of theatrical costumes and plus-sized women's underwear. Perhaps it is best if I assign any further supply acquisition duties to another crew member in the future...
Duke's commercial and logistic endeavors may leave a great deal to be desired, but hopefully the shortage will increase demand enough that our goods will still fetch a substantial price. I may have to assign an extra security detail to keep Ensign Price out of the crates of women's clothing...
