Recent History
When Kerenkev decided to pay off the local Fleet vessel, the UAV Voidsong, in an attempt to keep fleet (and by extension, most or all outsiders) away from Gledig colony, Baerut was the captain of the Voidsong, and took the bribe. He also framed Pwyll Mansey and Kamaney Foster for the bribery, on top of an accurate accusation of fraternization, leading to their expulsion from Fleet and entrance into a life of piracy (in which, in a blackly ironic turn, they were then bribed to attack the planet that Baerut had paid the Voidsong to ignore). His misdeeds were suspected by Alysha Forrest (who attempted, without success, to meet with him in person]] and Alastar Virgil, and then confirmed by Kerenkev.[1][2]
