Marshall Ricks

Howdy, y'all. Name's Wilcott Ricks. Colonial Marshall of Koatev and leader of the militia in these parts. Now I know y'all might have some questions about our little bug infestation, so I'm here to fill ya in. The higher ups might hesitate to call this an infestation but like my pappy always said, where there's smoke, there's fire.

Gettin right down to it, our little planet here is a popular hotspot for drug runners. Hell, it ain't no secret. Considering the piss poor funding the Imperial Senate gives me, y'all should consider yourself lucky I'm able to stop the little that I can. Anyway, I'm sure I don't need to lecture y'all on where that juice shit comes from. I'd bet my pension some of these drug fogged runners had the brilliant idea to trap some bugs, and well, one thing probably led to another and we ended up with a gorram hive!

Now they don't pay me enough to deal with this shit, so the governor finally gave me the green light to call in the Federation. Anyway, I'm standing by if y'all have questions.

Have a real good day now, ya hear.

Good evening, Commanders.

I'm pleased to report that Federation server functionality has returned to the 90th percentile. There's still some glitches were ironing out, but most services are back online.

I have just received some new job postings for your perusal. E.R.I.S. is standing by should a contract catch your interest. Remember commanders, the greater the risk, the greater the reward.

Korvig out.

Thanks for the assist, Commanders. Hopefully once the Federation servers are back up to 100% we can actually field more then two teams on a mission, but I think we got what we came for.

You'll be hearing from me.

Baines out.

Armstrong Op Debrief

Mission Status: Completed
Bonus Objective: Failed
Casualties: None

Summary

Federation and IMPSEC forces joined forces at 2995.09.26 15:05 U.T. By 16:30 U.T. the decoy ship was put in position with all forces at the ready. A fake distress signal was transmitted detailing an engine failure and subsequent evacuation.

At 18:25 U.T. pirate ships were detected within the planetary system, two squadrons of fighters and a compliment of troop transports with approximately one company of infantry. The enemy fighters surrounded the decoy ship, and transports breached the ship's airlocks and entered the ship.


Captured security footage, pirates entering hanger bay.

Pirate forces conducted a sweep of the ship, making their way to the cargo bay where they were ambushed. After a brief exchange of fire, and suffering light casualties, enemy forces surrendered.

IMPSEC and LMG frigates then moved in and engaged pirate fighter squadrons. Both frigates sustained moderate damage before pirate fighters and transports retreated. Unfortunately, without any merc companies to intercept, the fighters were able to retreat to an unknown location.

As of yet the base of operations of the pirates eludes IMPSEC, though with many of the pirates captive, it is assumed that it is only a matter of time before it is discovered.

LMG, Manny's Mechs, and NBCW are awarded 1,000mc.

E.R.I.S.

Commander Davidson, I have sent your order request to Colonial Recruitment, and stressed the short timetable given the imminence of the mission. Fortunately Arnold a waiting list of soldiers for hire, and a company will be assembled and ready for pick up at Jico Space Port. The credits will be deducted from your account momentarily.

Helltop, please direct your transport to Jico Space Port for pick up.

Copy that, E.R.I.S. I'm about a half hour out from Alpha Centauri, make sure those marines are at the ready. We'll have no time to stop for a frackin' piss.

Helltop to Manny, from two mechs to five and two infantry companies? I hope you realize my fee just doubled.

Helltop here. My transports are on station and standing by.

Helltop to Manny. Seems a standard transport run. My fee is ten percent for this op.

IMPSEC ACTUAL

Good morning, Commanders.

I have been in contact with Commander Carver of Lantallian Mercenaries Guild and we have formulated a plan.



Here we have the schematics of the decoy ship. The plan is to funnel pirate forces into the main cargo bay where an ambush will be waiting for them. LMG forces, supported by mechs from Manny's Mechs, will engage the pirates and, hopefully, force a surrender. IMPSEC forces will then board the ship and place the enemy forces under arrest.

The HMS Inspector, supported by LMG warships, will maintain a perimeter and secure the sector against any intruding forces.

While this wraps up the Diversion Team's mission, we still need a Support Team on stand by. I'd feel a lot better about this op if we had reinforcements watching our back.

Of course, I'm patched in if you need me.

Thank you, commanders.
