As the scene fades in, you instantly recognize that the
pod is already in place aboard the S.S. Monte Hue. And that the
supply shuttles have already unloaded their cargo and are
beginning their decent towards the planet below. Next, the
captain turns on her ship wide communication system and informs
her crew as to the mission ahead. As it turns out, this run does
not head for a colony, but a high traffic shipping lane where
pirate activity has been running rampant. The mission is to head
through this common flight path and act as a security patrol and
fight off all pirates that are present within the channel. The
bad news is that you will have to do it with friendly ships of
all variety about. Even worse, some friendly ships have the enemy
and their fighters aboard, ready to strike at a passing shipper.
So, be very careful at what you shoot at and try to wait for the
scanning officer to make a firm identification on the kind of
ship that is located in your sights. As the ship launches for the
local Gravitron Ring, you prepare yourself for the new challenge
that lies ahead. "After all, how many pirates could possibly be
hiding in a shipping lane?" you ask yourself. Unfortunately,
you're going to find out, the hard way. On a positive note: Happy
hunting!
