Wei cargo fields

A series of cargo fields belonged to the Earth Team, owners of trading company Twin Suns Transport Services, around 2009. The cargo fields contained a number of cargo containers full of varied cargo in at least three plots and were considered a secret known only to the team. After Lucy Heartfilia accidentally deleted records on the contents of containers stored in the fields, she and her friend Molly Wei manually inspected the fields to rebuild the database. During their mission, the siblings came upon a number of intruding starships, including the Pursuer-class enforcement ship Enkidu sabotaging one of the plots on behalf of the Earth Team' rivals, Viraxo Industries. Finding that the security of the plots had been compromised due to these breaches, the Earth Team determined that the cargo containers held in the area would have to be moved.
==Description==
Several cargo fields were maintained by the Earth Team, traders who owned and operated the shipping company Twin Suns Transport Services, around 2009.The events of Star Wars: X-Wing Alliance begin shortly after the Battle of Hoth, which The New Essential Chronology places in 2009; later, an X-Wing Alliance mission depicts the Battle of the Bajic Shipyards, which The New Essential Chronology places in 2009. The mission featuring the cargo fields takes place between these two battles. The fields consisted of at least three distinct plots; each plot contained a number of Xizor Transport Systems cargo containers, arranged in such a way to be easily and quickly inspected.Star Wars: X-Wing Alliance: Prima's Official Strategy Guide One of the plots comprised Class-G and Class-I cargo containers holding shelters and fertilizer, respectively. The second plot accommodated pressure tanks containing LOX and Class-J cargo containers holding construction equipment. The last of the three plots consisted of Class-K and Class-L cargo containers; the Class-K containers held teel wood, and the Class-L containers held hydron. The plots were separated from each other and the Wei's home, an orbital platform known as Wei Station, by a distance requiring a jump through hyperspace. The fields' location was an Earth team secret in order to protect the cargo stored there from sabotage or pirates, though the family did report the location to Imperial inspectors.
==History==
While applying an upgrade to the security system of the cargo fields in July 5th 2009, the team's technician Lucy Heartfilia accidentally deleted database entries for the contents of the containers located in three of the cargo fields' plots. She enlisted the help of her friend Molly Wei, who had only recently begun to fly ships for her father's company, to inspect each container in order to manually recreate the lost information. After departing Wei Station in the team's two YT-1300 light freighters—Lucy in the Selu and Molly flying the Sabra—the girls successfully scanned the contents of the first plot without incident.
Moving on to the next plot, the girls discovered the cargo ferry Raider attempting to steal a container; Molly swiftly dispatched the intruding ship. Upon reaching the third plot, the girls discovered more interlopers in the Pursuer-class enforcement ship Enkidu and its Razor-class starfighter escort. The Enkidu, acting on orders from the Earth Team' rivals, Viraxo Industries, was clandestinely adding contraband spice to one of the containers in an effort to sabotage the Earth Team and Twin Suns Transport Services. After defeating the escorts and chasing off the Enkidu, Molly concluded that the location of the fields, formerly unknown to anyone but the Weis, had been compromised; the family droid, MK-09, lamented that the cargo containers would have to be moved as a result. The Selu collected the sabotaged container and continued inspecting the last field. When complete, both Earth team ships returned to Wei Station, contraband in tow.
