Mission Data

#1 Post by Eris »

Some notes about the current mission.

I wanted them in one place for easy reference.

Mission: As part of a convoy of 6 ships (3 1800 dton Dakar class freighters and 3 GDF Avenger class escorts) fly to LANIXOHN with supplies and combat troops, pick up as many refugees as possible, put them in cold sleep, and return them to Grayln. Avoid combat as much as possible. Keep the whole operation quiet and undercover.

This is a Grayln government (Second Directorate) operation with Outworld Partners as the cover for the freighters. GDF and Carrillian Peacekeepers on the ground at Lanixohn will coordinate landing security and the loading of the refugees.

Payment: 30,000 Rintarnan piastres, half in advance. Triple if we take fire on Lanixohn. Also on the 2nd Directorate as stringers, this earns Green Cards as resident aliens of Gralyn with all the certifciations needed to do business in the deep under Gralyn's unbrella.

Lanixohn's Status: Stotts shrugs. "it's a mess. Before they blew the up port, there were 17 sovereign nations there. Now there are 6, including Malandar, the Carrillian affiliate. Malandar has shrunk a bit the last year, they've had something like 15% of their territory captured by the Hulan Collective." (Ramona remembers the Hulans. A Stalinist type state wanting to take over the world. The Malandars were at least somewhat civilised)

He flicks his commplate. "Exports dropped of course with the loss of the main starport and the three spaceports. Technology's taken rather a bit of a hit too; they're practically back to prespace techs from being one of the most advanced worlds in Carrillian space. Fortunately for them, Chin didn't bother shooting them up. The Peacekeeper base was already destroyed, so was the spacecraft assembly facilities.

We've got a few people there on the ground trying to help out the Malandars. Some of the supplies you will be carrying will help support them."

He looks up. "One of the reasons why we chose to use Dakar class freighters is their jump range and cargo space. Another is, they can land on the surface, none of this sitting fat dumb and happy in orbit ready to soak up a missile. They're pretty tough, and the three that OP came up with so far are the pre-Raid Tech 14 version of the original Tech 12 design, built to be nearly idiot-proof. Probably reverse engineered from the Tech 12 Caledonian design; the Carrillians used to like to do that kind of thing, then make the design even better.

This info is about 2 weeks old, brought in by a high jump courier. The leftover Peacekeepers and GDF personnel will keep the bad guys off you while you unload and pack up your refugees. The Avengers will keep commerce raiders off you while you're insystem. Second Directorate thinks the Hulans have outside help. If you can confirm or deny that, bonuses around. Just don't get your asses shot off trying to make sure of it."
