Traders and Gunboats

Down and out on the Solomani Rim
Now the Spinward Marches don't look so grim

I hear the X-Potes on my trail
Engines always on the run

A mercenary, live in hyperdrive
Traders and gunboats keeping me alive
On Rutris Kiosk, always on the run
Busting into the Sword Worlds with a loaded Gauss gun

I hear the X-Potes on my trail
Engines always on the run

The Sword Worlds are a loose confederation of worlds, all colonized
In the same era. Through the centuries, their relationship has
Varied from fledgling empires to scattered trading pacts. At
The Spinward Edge, 120 parsecs from the original center of the
Imperium, the Marchers represent one of the furthest extents
Of exploration of the Zondalian Consulate to the Vargr Extents

Down and out on the Solomani Rim
Now the Spinward Marches don't look so grim
On Rutris Kiosk, always on the run
Busting into the Sword Worlds with a loaded Gauss gun
Gauss gun!

I hear the X-Potes on my trail
Engines always on the run
