# is additional ordering info. Can take multiple quests at the same time if you see a number there
Hobart Grapplehammer to be specific. Thank you, I'm getting really sick of playing "how do I board THIS ship?" every other quest. No map highlights, no quest dialog, nothing pointing to some obscure method to board is getting old.

Description
The people in charge of those two ships are old colleagues of mine, {name}. They did not achieve their rank through hard work as I did, but rather through deception and blackmail. I think they deserve the hammer of karma. Or whatever weapon you prefer.
