Missing Miners[edit]

BRIEFING[edit]

Lawhorn: This is Colonel Lawhorn to all Legion personnel. The Corvatti Corporation has contracted us to take care of some pirate raids on a remote mining world near the Capellan border of the Federated Commonwealth. It looks like the corporation set up shop without any significant security survey. Now, they’re paying for it. We’re on an open-ended contract to secure the Corvatti facilities and eliminate the pirate threat. Check your mission overviews for more detailed instructions.

Lawhorn: We don’t know the size or disposition of the pirate threat, but we’re not taking anything for granted. All light and medium lances will begin immediate recon of Corvatti mining facilities. Your tactical officers will keep you updated as we get a better picture of what we’re up against. Stay sharp. Black Six, out.

OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW[edit]

Missing Miners: The Black Knight Legion has been contracted by the Steiner-backed Corvatti Corporation to halt pirate raids at a mining colony on a cold, lifeless planet. Colonel Lawhorn has tasked you with investigating a facility that lost contact two days ago. Take Striker Lance out to sweep the area.

DURING MISSION[edit]

Mandril: Striker Lance, proceed to designated coordinates and report on condition of mining facility. The last transmission received was two days ago. Hostile presence is likely. Check all Nav Points and report any hostile contacts as priority traffic.

Radcliffe: Looks like Striker Lance gets to clean up another messy little corporate write-off.

Eric: Stow it, Radcliffe. The sooner we run these points, the sooner I can get back to fleecing you at cards.

Isabel: Better work than facing down Clanners or FedCom regulars, any day.

Radcliffe: My point, dear Isabel, is the corporation gives no thought to the miners. They are acceptable write-offs in determining just how secure a planetoid is. Their precious facilities, on the other hand…

Eric: You can both write off your next sleep cycles if you don’t give a ready report and clear the comm!

Radcliffe: Striker Two, ready for Op. Over.

Isabel: Striker Three, ready for Op. Over.

Eric: Mandril, this is Striker Lead. We report Ready Op.

Mandril: Roger, Striker One. Op time is Zero-Six-One-Five. Mandril out.

Isabel: Looks like we’ve got company.

Radcliffe: Contact! Eight hundred meters. Looks like light vehicles only.

Eric: Roger. Let’s take these guys out before they make us.

Radcliffe: Those tanks aren’t corporate issue. Looks like we’ve found our marauders.

Eric: Mandril, this is Striker One. Engaging pirate tanks. Vicinity Nav Alpha.

Mandril: Roger, Striker One. Continue through Nav Points and report all contacts. Mandril out.

Eric: Mandril, this is Striker One. We have enemy ‘Mechs. Vicinity Nav Beta.

Mandril: Roger, Striker One. Proceed to the mining facility marked Nav Gamma. Engage and destroy all hostile units.

Isabel: Here’s the rest of them.

Eric: Roger, Striker Three. Engage and destroy all enemy targets.

Eric: Mandril, this is Striker One. All hostiles at Nav Gamma have been neutralized. Request infantry support to sweep mining complex and subterranean facilities.

Mandril: Roger, Striker One. Infantry support is en route. Secure station until their arrival, and report to TacCom for debrief.

Eric: Roger, Mandril. Orders received. Striker One, out. Good work, Striker Lance! Keep it up, and we’ll be off this rock in no time.

Lawhorn: Great work, Eric! You’ve given them something to fear.
