They've already destroyed one, the CIS Whatley, and are now attacking the CIS Stryker. We don't know what their ultimate goal is, but we are beginning to suspect the Kindred have some sort of secret alliance with them. She has plenty of fighters to protect her, but they are all rookies.

Each clan has occupied one of two adjacent Nav Points, 192 {CALCRANGE}{192}{RANGE} and 193 {CALCRANGE}{193}{RANGE} and at each one is their respective hostage, held in a cargo pod. As a precautionary measure both clans have surrounded each pod with six laser turrets. The turrets are primed to fire if the deal turns sour, or if any hostiles approach. The clans aim to complete the exchange using escorted shuttles. Your job is to take out the turrets and capture both hostage pods and deliver them to Hades local space, before the exchange can take place. Pull this one off and we'll be impressed! // // // Diary {PAGE} WORKING FOR: CIS {CR} Go to Nav points 192 {CALCRANGE}{192}{RANGE} and 193 {CALCRANGE}{193}{RANGE} and capture hostage pods.

DIVISION - CIS{CR} {CR} There are three Kiowan cargo ships carrying illicit drugs leaving Hermes with an escort. Their markings match those of the Kiowan space pirates, so we can assume that their route will be from Hermes at NAV 5 {CALCRANGE}{5}{RANGE} to the Kiowan space station at NAV 151 {CALCRANGE}{151}{RANGE}. They will probably employ a formidable escort.{CR} You will need missiles to deal with the cargo ships while you attack the escorts with lasers.{CR} Unfortunately our fighters are deployed elsewhere. {CR} {CR} Destroy them all if you can. // // // Diary {PAGE} WORKING FOR: CIS {CR} Destroy three cargo ships between NAV 5 {CALCRANGE}{5}{RANGE} and NAV 151 {CALCRANGE}{151}{RANGE}.

Now, we've found a CIS cargo ship at NAV 202 {CALCRANGE}{202}{RANGE}, and it appears that the Papogod pirates have taken her over. She's probably being escorted to NAV 94 {CALCRANGE}{94}{RANGE}, currently Papogod's favourite hangout.

This event usually brings trouble with it, mainly pirates, so we usually hire mercenaries to patrol the area around Bex, cutting short any involvement by the major pirate clans. We think the Jincilla and the Chirichan pirates have agreed to behave themselves, and the Papogods have little interest in parties. It's the damn Kiowans who can't be persuaded to stay away, and they usually cause the biggest ruckus. We need someone to sweep the NAV points around Bex (NAV 2){CALCRANGE}{2}{RANGE} to make sure the Kiowans will not be alive long enough to cause any trouble. // // Diary {PAGE} WORKING FOR: BEXIAN BREWERS ASSOCIATION {CR} Patrol the area around Bex, including NAV POINTS 2 {CALCRANGE}{2}{RANGE}, 33, 185, 9, & 8.

We have had three large shipments stolen, and with the most recent one, the death of a pilot and crew. This has become tiresome and cannot continue, hence the rather large sum we are offering in order to get rid of this scum. Fly along each NAV point between Hermes (NAV 5) {CALCRANGE}{5}{RANGE} and Leviatha (NAV 116), and eliminate any Kindred warships you see. // // Diary {PAGE} WORKING FOR: MESSINEO COURIERS {CR} Destroy any Kindred fighters you see along the NAV route from Hermes (NAV 5) {CALCRANGE}{5}{RANGE} to Leviatha (NAV 116).

We've got an urgent problem here. Like hey, there's this really cool cargo carrier out at Nav Point 47 {CALCRANGE}{47}{RANGE} that's been shot up by some badass pirates. It could explode into a zillion pieces at any moment. It's also spilled its cargo of mega-bass digi-discs. The neat thing is though, in one of the pods is coded CIS data in the form of a microjingle. Could someone pleeeze scoot over there go up to the carrier and grab that cute little jingle before the pirates do. Once you've got it zoom over to Nav Point 167 {CALCRANGE}{167}{RANGE} to drop it off. // // // Diary {PAGE} WORKING FOR: BUTT OUT FREIGHT CO. {CR} Go to Nav Point 47 {CALCRANGE}{47}{RANGE}, and pick up the microjingle cargo pod.
