We have lost all communication with a cargo ship travelling between the moon of Petra (Nav Point #95) and the space station Tersa (Nav Point #147). Her last known position was Nav Point #149{CALCRANGE}{149}{RANGE}. There is a history of magnetic disturbances in the area, and she may have been crippled as a result of a powerful burst. The cargo holds are powered electronically, so expect her cargo to have been jettisoned and drifting. If it is, pick it up and drop it off in Tersa's local space. We will find it after that. When you find the ship, be sure to identify her so we may lock on to her position and begin recovery measures. Also, watch out for Jincilla pirates. // Diary Working For: Cargo Couriers LTD.

The Kindred have hired the dregs of piracy, the Jincilla, to attack a Military carrier near Nav Point #45 {CALCRANGE}{45}{RANGE}, between Hades and Crius. This carrier has recently been in a battle with the Kindred, rescuing many innocent civilians who had been kidnapped from their homes, to be used in medical experimentation. However, they suffered many losses to the fighters escorting them and it's own weapons are crippled. Anyone who will go and take out these Jincilla scum, so we can bring the civilians home will be well rewarded. // Diary Working For: CIS Headquarters, Security Div. Eliminate Jincilla craft attacking a CIS carrier at Nav Point #45 {CALCRANGE}{45}{RANGE}. // Passed FROM: CIS HEADQUARTERS, SECURITY DIV. TO: SER LEV ARRIS You've done a great service, Ser Arris.

MISSION: CIS KAITLIN DERELICT // Offer FROM: CIS Special Div. We have ourselves a major problem. The crew of the CIS Kaitlin have mutinied and jumped ship. Although the mutineers have not yet been located (believe me, they will be) the Kaitlin has. She is now stranded at Nav point 120{CALCRANGE}{120} {RANGE}. Two CIS Cruisers have been posted to oversee the recovery operation. However, no CIS fighter units are available at this time to help. We require a mercenary to help defend the carrier while the recovery units make their way to the Kaitlin. Let us stress that the Kaitlin is a very valuable piece of military hardware which must not fall into enemy hands. // Diary WORKING FOR: CIS Help defend a CIS carrier at Nav 120{CALCRANGE}{120} {RANGE}. // Passed FROM: CIS TO: SER LEV ARRIS The Kaitlin is still in one piece.

I can't believe it. What were you thinking of? That carrier was a top of the line ship, Arris! You have no idea how much money and time it will cost to outfit another like her. The only virtue is that it cannot possibly fall into "enemy hands" now that it has been totally destroyed. MISSION: CIS PAPOGOD PIRATES CAPTURE CAPITAL SHIP // Offer FROM: CIS HEADQUARTERS, SPECIAL OPS. DIV. This is an emergency! The Papogod pirates have managed to capture one of our capital ships, board it and kill the entire crew.

You must go to {TOKEN}{RAND_NAV1} {RANGE} and destroy the vessel, along with any enemy ships in the area, which may have had the codes transmitted to them.

We have been told the Jincilla clan has amassed a large amount of weaponry, but we don't know where because one of their shuttles is equipped with a jamming device. There is a cargo ship at Nav Point #93{CALCRANGE}{93}{RANGE}, that is trying to smuggle supplies to the Jincilla, and he may be heading towards this base. ID this cargo ship, it's supposedly carrying lumber. When you find his destination go there and take out the jamming destroyer.

Three jettisoned crates full of lumber from Hermes have been drifting around Nav Point #14{CALCRANGE}{14}{RANGE} for a while now, rotting away while Anhur awaits its shipment. It is rumoured that the original courier of the ship was taken over by Jincilla pirates, who are fanatical about the protection of rainforests.
