She went to the world of Verdigreis, where she put out word that she was free and she looking to recruit able-bodied pirates for her band. Thousands responded, but only few were selected by Trevaline. Only the most elite and skilled would do for her new pirate band. At Verdigrei, she acquired an Invader Class JumpShip and a DropShip prior to departing for a re-supply raid.
