Advocating Amendments Missions

The storm that is brewing between the Faen's and the Char's is just one example of the ways that the factions are being torn apart following the Exodus and Reunification. Shalun Law provided a helpful framework for a time, but some, including Arbiter Brokstrom, believe its time without needing to change may be passing. She believes that it is time to unite the factions under a central government that can lead the Star Trader's Civilization in its new home. She may also be one of the few people with the connections and resources to make it happen. She just needs some enterprising Star Trader captains to ply the void for her and convince the leaders of the various factions to support her cause.

Advocating Amendments are a series of Story Missions offered by Estelle Brokstrom during the first Era. They are accessed by visiting Estelle on Ryeline Ganne following the Arbiter Neutrality mission. They consist of a series of missions, given in random order, to visit princes from various factions and convince them to support her cause. Each Prince will have different things they wish you to do in order to gain their support. The missions are given directly through conversation with Estelle rather than through her "Missions" button. They do not have a deadline other than the end of the second era. They can be especially useful for captains who wish to build a large network of Prince contacts in different factions.

## Commander and Prince

This mission will take you to visit Cadar Prince Aiden Cavanaugh. Though his support for the cause seems certain he has a very unique job he would like to you to take on before he gives his final word.

Reveal/Hide SPOILERS

From the beginning, it is clear that Prince Cavanaugh will support the Amendments as he believes firmly in the necessity of Cadar to the cause. He needs to get something out of it though, something unique that only a Star Trader Captain can provide. He wants you to take his protegé, Kolber Volpane, on board for two years and give him the experience of flying on a Star Trader ship. He's knows the danger, but he believes this experience will be fundamental to Kolber's development.

* Before or after first talking to the Prince you'll need to make extra crew space on your ship.
* Kolber is a Commander and has bonuses Pilot, Command and Tactics.
* Once you take him on, you are free to continue doing whatever you want for the next two years.
* After the first 15 weeks you will get a little dialogue with Kolber and 120xp reward.
* Around a year in, you will face a group of Cadar trained fighters in crew combat in an urban zone. They are trying to assassinate Kolber Volpane and defeat in crew combat will result in his death.
* After a year has passed you will get another heartwarming dialogue with Kolber and 240xp across the crew.
* At two years you will get another dialogue with Volpane, letting you know that you have completed the mission. You will gain 240xp across the crew and a mission notification to return him to Prince Cavanaugh.
* On delivering him back to Cavanaugh you will gain +10 Cadar rep, +40 Cavanaugh rep and he will gain 10 influence.
* On returning to Estelle successful, you will receive $20,000, 240xp across your crew, 8 personal rep with Estelle and she will gain 2 influence.

## Bargaining Price

This mission will take you to visit Moklumnue Prince Damien Lumotte. He also seems inclined to support the unionist cause but he might as well get something out of it for himself along the way. Will you help him remove a thorn from his paw?

When you talk with Lumotte you will learn that he sees the necessity of the Amendments and is willing to support them, but for his support he feels entitled to get a little something. In this case, he wants you to go hunt down some Hunna pirates who have been disturbing his trading network. In this case a mission will appear in his missions screen following the dialogue. You'll have to there to accept it.

* The first step is to go patrol over another planet to locate the Pirates.
* On winning a success card you will face ship combat with one of the Hunna Pirates. The ship will rupture before you can defeat them. You will notice that they are surprisingly well trained and equipped. You will lose rep with the Hunna.
* The second step is much like the first, patrol to find the second pirate ship.
* On winning the Patrol game you will get a dialogue about an escape pad jettisoning. The ship will again rupture before you can disable it and you'll get more dialogue about them being well trained and dialogue about pursuing it further without telling Lumotte first.
* The next step will be to follow the escape pod to a wild zone and explore.
* On winning the card you will face ground combat. On victory, you will suspect that the Hunna are being equipped by Rychart and have the option to pursue them to another base.
* Returning without capturing the second base will gain you +20 Moklumnue rep, +20 Lumotte Rep and he will gain 5 influence.
* On successfully returning to Estelle, she will give you $20,000 and you will gain 240xp across the crew, +15 personal rep with Estelle and she will gain 4 influence.

Extra Credit

* Going to the second base will increase the reward from the mission, but will generate negative rep with Rychart.
* The second base is in another wild zone where you will again have to explore.
* On drawing the success card you will face crew combat again. Afterwards you can choose to gather evidence against Rychart, or decide to keep their secret.
* On returning to Lumotte you will gain +20 Moklumnue rep, +40 Lumotte rep and he will gain 10 influence. You will gain extra evidence if you prove Rychart's dealings with the Hunna but it will result in a Solar War between Rychart and Moklumnue and the Arbiter's ire for causing another bloody war in her goals.

## Prince of Memories

The mission will take you to visit Zenrin Prince Michael Gunn. He'll have a simple mission for you that will bring you in contact with one of the more interesting characters of the Star Traders Civilization. A living breathing Augur.

### Walkthrough

* Travel to Prince Gunn's world and speak with him. He will tell you that he wishes for you to speak to Eli Kuul an Augur who educated him and Zenrin High Prince Tir Ghan.
* After the conversation he will offer you the mission through his mission screen.
* Travel to Eli Kuul's planet and begin a conversation with her through the mission button. You will have a conversation with her and she will give a gene-locked data cube that she prepared in advance with her response to Prince Gunn.
* She most often dissuades him from supporting the coalition, but there are reported instances of her supporting them as well. After testing, this appears to be random, decided as you finish the mission by giving Gunn the data cube. If you wish to earn his support, you may save before talking to him, and reload until you get the desired outcome.
* Return and speak with Prince Gunn.
