Johnston,

The situation in the Santa Romera system is degenerating. The corporates have effectively taken control. They have captured several of the local government facilities and their ships are locking down the system. The size of their fleet means that we would have a tough time engaging them.  If we had more vessels, things would be a little more even. 

Our plan is based around the System Defense Fleet. These ships are crewed and ready for action, but the electronic codes to bring them online are still in the local government vaults. If we could recover those codes we would have a fighting chance.

We want you to sneak into the system to make contact with the system government.  Officials at the Liberty Government System Administration station are holding the codes.  We want you to persuade them to release the codes to the System Defense Fleet. Secure the codes and bring them back to myself.

Good luck, and be careful, there'll be a heavy corporate presence.
