The Pirates hire the player, who is not one of them (ruling player-not-a-pirate);
the base Longinus with its default fit is the start hull (ruling
demo-start-hull-longinus). The hull is named in the script; StartingHull no
longer owns the demo's hull. The Pirates-hull test is replaced by one pinning
the Longinus, its Alakrita maker, a null ship faction and the origin.

DemoTerminus generates a prelude galaxy of the Pirates, Zhestokost, Lucent Media
and Aeronautics Unlimited with no quest faction, places the gate at the
antagonist's home (Galaxy.PlaceGate: boss zone and exit), and stages the player
in a Pirates hull with the cast's standing. The prelude constructor resolves
every cast name through one refusal that names the field, and places a quest
zone only when a quest faction is named. Release builds list only the demo; the
tutorial and main galaxies join the test arenas in editor and development builds.
