Mission1

## Briefing

**Mission 1: Convoy Escort**

* **Objective:** Escort a convoy of food and medical supplies from Fort Bush to the mining colony on Planet Pittsburgh. The mission's commanding officer, Michael King, is waiting to rendezvous in space near the Manhattan docking ring.
* **Difficulty:** LSF Intel has classified this mission as low-risk. Pirate attacks are considered possible.
* **Reward:** 2000 credits

## Background

This mission was part of a scheme that Jun'ko Zane and Michael King came up with. Juni had been trying to find a pilot to take the escort mission but found few takers until she came upon Edison Trent who was recently destitute after the Destruction of Freeport 7 and looking for a ship and a job.

## References

1. ↑ *I hear you took the escort mission to Pittsburgh. Juni asked me yesterday to make that run. Looks like she finally found a fool for this silly scheme she and King cooked up. I'm guess you're flying in that crappy Starflier she had for a while. All I can say is, be careful. That ship should have been put out of its misery a long time ago.* - Storyline Rumor, occurs after after accepting **Juni's escort mission**.

Pharmaceuticals

**Pharmaceuticals** are custom-tailored drugs used in the Sirius Sector.

## Description

Advanced pharmaceutical research has now yielded an entirely new class of custom-tailored drugs. Using scanners and optronic computers, scientists can determine the precise molecular structure required for a drug to be most effective in treating a particular disease or affliction. The resulting drug is then assembled molecule by molecule from raw polymers; however, prototype drugs must be researched in zero-g to avoid the effects of gravitational pull which could disturb the delicate process.

*I hear the LSF wants to accelerate the investigation by questioning survivors from Freeport 7 - even the critically injured ones. They were going to wait but the pressure must really be on to pull a stunt like that. I mean what can some of these people really tell them? Most of them are barely hanging on. I've even heard that outside of the list of injured, the LSF isn't entirely sure who was even on Freeport 7 at the time. Typical government efficiency!* - **Storyline Rumor**, occurs between arrival on Manhattan and the destruction of the RNC Donau
Sam Lonnigan

## Background

Sam Lonnigan is a hired gun who represents Samura Heavy Industries. He does business in the Border Worlds.

## Storyline

Sam Lonnigan was interested in buying the Boron shipment that Edison Trent acquired on Planet Kurile in the Border Worlds.  They met on Planet Kurile and agreed on the price: one million credits in exchange for the Boron, with the exchange to take place on Freeport 7 the following day.

Unfortunately, the deal took place on the same day that unknown forces attacked and destroyed Freeport 7. Sam Lonnigan was lucky enough to be one of the few survivors but he was badly injured when a collapsing bulkhead hit him on the head. He was knocked unconsious, but Edison Trent saved his life by carrying him to the life pod.. Upon arrival on Planet Manhattan he was still unconscious and was taken away to Medical on a stretcher. Edison Trent was deeply concerned that Sam Lonnigan lived, namely because "he owes me some credits!"

I certainly hope so. We're currently on a rescue ship enroute to Manhattan but things aren't looking so good. I lost my ship and my ore shipment blew up with the rest of the station. All I have left is 500 credits. That wouldn't even buy me a ticket back to Leeds on a waste disposal freighter.* - Edison Trent, Neural Net Log Entry #6

High Court

## Background

The High Court is a part of the Liberty government.

## Storyline

Admiral Schultzky's visit to Liberty was thoought to be an effort by Rheinland to appease Liberty and the High Court from accusations that Rheinland was behind the attack on Freeport 7.

## References

1. ↑ *There's no mystery why Admiral Schultzky is here. Chancellor Niemann sent him to play politics with the President. Many in the government believe that Niemann was behind the attack on Freeport 7. Schultzky is here to appease Liberty and the **High Court**, while the Rheinland Military continues to operate illegally in the Border Worlds. It's not a big secret that Rheinland has been overstepping its boundaries out there for the last few weeks.* - Storyline Rumor, occurs between arrival on Manhattan and the destruction of the RNC Donau
Food Rations

**Food Rations** are a common agricultural product in Sirius.

## Description

Most planets in the Sirius Sector are rich in natural resources, but few are capable of supporting large-scale agriculture. As a result, Food remains one of the basic but essential inputs of the Sirius economy. While a large assortment of foodstuffs is available in the different colonies, Synth Foods has cornered much of the market with its revolutionary Synth Paste. However, the continuing expansion of the colonies guarantees that the ever-increasing demand for Food will keep the market open.
Kusari

One of the four Houses in the Sirius Sector.

## Background

Kusari and Rheinland have recently come into conflict in the Border Worlds over a wealth of new resources and Alien Artifacts discovered there. Liberty is helping mediate talks between the two sides, but this dispute has reached an impasse.

The Kusari government has been particularly lax in enforcing the Liberty Artifact ban in their space, and at times the Liberty Security Force has taken unilateral action to enforce it outside of Liberty borders.

## Economy

The Kusari have a virtual monopoly on the distribution of H-Fuel throughout the colonies, thanks to their close relations with the Gas Miners Guild. This is particularly crucial since H-Fuel is the primary fuel source that enables interstellar travel in Sirius.

## References

1. ↑ **Storyline News Report: Liberty Mediates BW Talks**

Negotiations slowed to a crawl yesterday as delegates from **Kusari** and Rheinland heatedly debated acquisitions in the Border Worlds. **Kusari** had proposed a "full disclosure" initiative, which was protested and then effectively blocked by Rheinland. Recent territorial disputes in the Border Worlds, largely driven by the discovery of a wealth of new resources and Artifacts, have sparked these talks between the colonies, with Liberty acting as mediator. However, with the delegates now polarized over this issue, it is unclear how effective these talks will be.
2. ↑ *The LSF has been commissioned with confiscating all Alien Artifacts in Sirius. Not all the other Houses are as cooperative as they should be, so sometimes we are forced to take unilateral action. **Kusari** officials have been particularly lax in their enforcement of the ban.* - Liberty Security Force Rumor, Planet Manhattan
3. ↑ H-Fuel is the key fuel source for interstellar travel in Sirius.

## Description

H-Fuel is the basic fuel used for engine propulsion everywhere in the colonies. A mix of elemental hydrogen, deuterium (H2), and helium-3 (He3), H-fuel can also be mixed with oxygen in fuel cells to provide water (via "cracking") and electricity for smaller ships, space stations, and other facilities. H-fuel production is almost totally monopolized by the **Kusari** who obtain their supplies from the Gas Miners Guild before shipping it to storage depots and distribution facilities throughout the colonies.
LSF Dark Ops Shadow Team

A Liberty Security Force special operations team. They participate in various missions to include interdicting Cardamine smuggling operations in Liberty space. Even elite teams such as these have to be careful, as one team found out when they were ambushed and killed by the Outcasts in the Badlands.

## References

They were all dead and had bags of Cardamine stuffed into their mouths.* - Liberty Security Force Rumor, Planet Manhattan
NSL007

****Storyline News Report**: Military to Investigate FP7**

Government sources say that because of The Order's potential involvement, President Jacobi has put the investigation of Freeport 7 into the hands of a special unit within the Liberty Military. This corps of investigators will be charged with securing the wreckage, gathering evidence, and coordinating with forensic teams in the solemn task of recovering and identifying human remains.

****Storyline News Report**: Jacobi Hopeful About Meeting**

The President was candid today when asked about her upcoming meeting with Admiral Schultzky.

## Overview

Copy & Paste is a pair of twin 2WD lifters made by Broken Gears Robotics that make a beetleweight clusterbot. Copy & Paste went 0-2 at its debut prompting a full redesign into a new version named Copy & Paste Mach 2. The difference between the two is now more obvious as Copy is red and Paste is purple. Unfortunately, the upgrades at this point are only cosmetic as Copy & Paste Mach 2 repeated its 0-2 performance, but got wrecked even worse in its first fight.

## Robot History

* Copy & Paste

Shifty

## Overview

Shifty is a 2WD beetleweight vertical spinner made by Aren Hill of Seems Reasonable Robotics for NHRL. Shifty got its name from the fact that is used swerve drive to strafe around the arena. Another notable feature of Shifty is that it is one of the few beetleweight spinners with a dedicated self righter. It went 6-2 at its NHRL debut, but failed to qualify for the NHRL 2022 Finals.

## Fight History

### Norwalk Havoc Robot League May 2022

#### Shifty vs The Wumpus

The fight started with both bots spinning up and going weapon to weapon, flipping Shifty. Shifty self righted and countered by decapitating The Wumpus and punting its shell into the roof camera. The Wumpus tapped out and the win went to Shifty.

#### Shifty vs Chicken Huffin

The fight started with Shifty spinning up and flipping Chicken Huffin who self righted. Shifty used this to push Chicken Huffin into the wall where it got stuck and tapped out.

#### Shifty vs Wake and Bake

Wake and Bake configuration: Defense

The fight started with everyone spinning up and Shifty punting the pink half across the arena before being tag teamed and flipped into Bert.
