© Jerod Underwood Park Mission 12   <-  home  -> As the scene fades in, you are sitting inside the gunnery pod as it departs from the holding bay of a space station under the control of SAL, your on board AI computer. You see amongst the loader's framework the impressive ship that it is surrounding. She is one of the three of her kind in the fleet. Built right before the end of the pre-solar shield days, this class of freighter was designed for deep space deliveries and exploration services with twin class 8 engines, incredible space for cargo storage, (including the ability to mount external freight cases) heavy duty power generators for shielding and refrigeration, reinforced outer armor, and still unmistakably the largest ship design of the entire PSI 5 fleet. SAL glides the gunnery pod into position as the extended loading hatchways begin to retract from the S.S. Pegasus. As the tower's clamping system latches down on the pod's base, you begin to hear the idling pulse of the class 8 engines vibrating through the super structure of the inner framework. As that idle changes into a slow forward movement, your new captain appears on the communication screen. Along with general and trivial information, he talks about the mission that lies ahead. In this one, you will be making multiple shipments to three different colonies in two different systems. The first two colonies are located in a system simply known as G-87. Pirate activity is high within this system with their usual solar shield in place. And the third is just on the outskirts of the very system that you will be passing through.
