MISSION ORDERS:

Congratulations to Battle Group 28.  You have been selected to spearhead what is hoped to be the last major offensive against the Confederation.  Rear Admiral Longpath has selected your vessel to be his flag during the offensive named Operation Backbreaker.  The Prometheus will serve as flag in the final push to neutralize the remnants of the Confederation war machine.  Intel has located the last three outposts that are held by rebel forces.  The Rear Admiral will command the fleet, it is your job for the Battle Group to see to the safety of the admiral as well as your own command.  

Your group will attack the Orbital Munitions Plant as well as the Triton Alloy Facility around and on the surface of New Crown in the system Pliax.  Intelligence reports that the Confederation ground forces are well dug in and are commanded by his Excellency Lord York himself, and space forces are led by Lord Admiral Duncan Hobbes (the Fleet Captain's own cousin!).  During this operation, the remainder of the fleet will blockade the system in an attempt to stop all fleeing Confederation forces.   The Prometheus will be fitted with additional medical facilities to allow for the liberation and transfer of 100-175 Co-Operative prisoners held on the planet.  The Admiral will accompany you on your portion of the mission.

While this happens, Battle Group 3 and 16 will attack other facilities in the Agara and Tollid Asteroid belt areas.  If we are successful, the Confederate government will be forced to sue for peace.  Intelligence already indicates that 1/2 to 3/4 of the populace in the Confederation want to re-join the Co-Op and end the conflict.  

In addition, the Admiral will brief you on other material that is for your command, science and communications staff only...see tertiary objectives.   

TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:  

Full testing of M-1 Bio-Sensors has been scrapped.  Testing of the CSS Blue Chip is also an important objective.  It should not have to be stated that loss of either vessel would harm the Co-Operative severely.  Extra rockets and supplies for the CSS Blue Chip will be alotted to the CSS Prometheus.

Clans of Deathstar pirates have recently stepped up attacks against the Hokuten Enclave and are receiving military backing from the Sathar.  This is an odd situation and requires some investigation.  

The Space Ring around Multitude has emitted a powerful signal deep into uncharted space.  Before the war, part of the Co-Operative budget went towards research of this unknown space artifact.  Most of the scientists went to the Confederation side.  They may have discovered how to use it.  If we can defeat them soundly here, we may be able to learn what they have done with the ring.  Data will be brought by the Admiral to your vessels.

Good Luck Commanders.  Any questions and clarifications can be tuned to transponder [email protected]
