Johnston,
Right now Allied forces are busy dealing with major corporate strongholds in the Badlands cluster, with the intention of making life so difficult for them in this cluster that they have no choice but to retreat through the jump accelerator. I know that you and your crew are chomping at the bit for a slice of the action, but I've got a special remit for you Cal. With the corporates desperately trying to shore up their defences in their core facilities and abandoning their smaller production stations they're more dependent than ever on supply runs through the jump accelerator.
This is where your unique skills come into play, as we want you to head-up a force of, shall we say, commerce raiders. Get out in the system, track down as many corporate supply ships as possible, and get rid of them. What you do with the spoils is entirely up to you, however I do ask that any interesting bits of intelligence or juicy R&D items are brought back to me for analysis.
Happy hunting,
Franklyn Hoffer
