| - On the edge of the , the MSV Iron Jack is en route to the world of with a large shipment of . Gabriel Rojas, captain of the cargo freighter, walks up to the bridge with two cups of coffee in hand, one for him and another for Ace, the pilot of the vessel. "I'm surprised you're still awake captain," says Ace as he reaches for one of the cups. "You know me, I'm never able to sleep until the job is done," replies Rojas handing over a cup. "A lot of people aboard this ship could use that same quality," says Ace with a grin. "Easy, there. Not all of us like to operate while being hopped on enough caffeine to give a horse a heart attack," says a voice coming from an unseen voice. Rojas and Ace turn around to see Commander Jackson, the second-in-command of the Iron Jack. "You should give it a try Jack. Gets rid of a bunch of fatigue," says Rojas. "Yeah, and replaces it with more fatigue later. I'm better off running on natural energy," replies Jack. "Huh, suit yourself," shrugs Rojas as he turns back around to peer out of the window. "Anyway, how long do we have until we get to Elysium," asks Jack. "Not long actually, maybe another twenty minutes," replies Ace. "Cool, I'll be in the mess if you need me," says Jack who makes his exit. Just five minutes later, a something happens to the ship. The ship's power is completely shutdown with no obvious reason as to why. Initially it is believed to be a malfunction in the ship's core but as boarding crafts descend on the defenseless ship, it's obvious that it's a deliberate attack. Within minutes, a horde of batarian slavers board the ship, capture the Element Zero, and make off with fresh slaves. These slavers are no ordinary rogue marauders, they were hired by the batarian government to capture slaves for , an industrial world that just entered a completely new age in it's wealthy history. The number of Element Zero mines and manufacturing factories on the planet had nearly doubled and the batarians needed a source of cheap labor; slaves being the obvious choice. The crew of the Iron Jack was just one of many vessels that had reached a similar fate. The crew of the Iron Jack would find themselves in Hatre, a fairly notable port city. There they would be slaves forced to toil away until death.
