"Welcome to the frontline. You may not see it, but it's here all the same. I was sent out here three months ago to take care of a 'minor pirate problem', as I was told. It was only supposed to take a month, but I'm still here and I don't think I'll be going home any time soon. See that station, or what's left of it, over there? That station was supposed to be our headquarters. It was sabotaged a month ago, someone infiltrated the station and planted one big bomb in its bowels. I was one of the lucky few out on a patrol that day, or my body would by floating around here along with the rest.

I'm telling you, it's a total mess around here at the moment. Poor Murchor over there is trying to install some order, but he's in way over his head. Me? I'm just trying to stay alive in all this chaos. A lot of soldiers have fled and I can't blame them. But I'm not a deserter. All I can do is try to do my job and hope it will get easier. Like the Republic actually acting up on its promise to send reinforcement out here.

There are pirates all around here, and something much more. But I'm mainly concerned with the pirates; they're my top priority. And I want to make them your top priority too. I'll pay you good money to bring me some Hacker ID Slices. These hacker scums have been causing us all sorts of trouble, lurking in the shadows all the time. It wouldn't surprise me if they are behind the sabotage of the station. You can find them in the contested military complex in this system, and elsewhere too. "

Please note: These drop from a few places.

The Nefanter ruins in Barkrik spawn 3 Hacker NPC Ships every half hour. There is also a complex in hjoramold planet X moon 17 that has 1 Maru Hacker in the first room right at the warp in. In Traun in the first room there are 3 gist precursor majors that drop them

Be warned that the Maru Hackers can web and scramble.

"I'm finally starting to see some progress around here. No thanks to the Republic though. It's mainly down to independent pilots such as yourself that the system isn't being totally overrun by pirates. And to the rebels. Yeah, I know they're whacky and delusional, but at least they're actively fighting all those opposing the Republic here in Ani. I can't count the number of times they've saved my ass in the last few weeks.

Though I can't agree with their agenda, I can approve of their methods. But let me get to the point. In the chaos we have here whole shiploads of army goods are being misplaced, mishandled or simply stolen every day. I got my hands on some pretty neat GI Paradise Cruise Missiles the other day, don't ask how. These GI versions are the blast.

I've befriended some of the more sane rebels and I want to pay them back for all the help they've given me. I have a crate of the missiles sitting in a hangar on a station in Hek. I'm not stupid enough to have them in my own cargo hold in case old Merchor over there gets nosy all of a sudden. There's a rebel guy waiting on the Sister of EVE station here in Traun waiting for the delivery. All I need is someone capable to get the missiles to him. Interested? I can offer you some pretty rare Republic ammo as a reward. "

"I've been ordered to support our troops in the contested complex here in Traun. We're trying to wrench control for it from the Angel cartel. It's not going all that well, so I've been expecting this for some time. I don't like jumping into a situation totally unprepared, so I've been gathering what information about what is really going on there. The general Republic communication lines don't yield all that much useful information, but through the contacts I'm building with the rebels I actually found out some pretty important thing.

It seems the Angels in the complex, or one of the groups associated with them, have managed to tap into the Republic communication links. No wonder nothing has been going for our troops, all they're movements are known beforehand. Beats me how they did it, but it needs to be dealt with. I'm trying to get the brass to act upon this, but they just point at each other. I know it's hopeless for me to talk directly to our guys in the complex, it will only be intercepted.

But you're not part of the Republic's line of communications so you can act freely. I know the Angels are using a scanner housed in an old Nefantar tactical depot in the complex. I don't know if it's the only one they're operating, but let's start by hitting that one and see what happens. At least it will make me feel a little bit better when I move in there myself sometimes in the near future. Get me a piece of the scanner array. You may have to hit several of the scanners before a useful specimen comes up. Do this for me and I got this rare BPC to give you.

This is an important mission, which will have significant impact on your faction standings. "
