MISSION 20: COLLECT DATA ON VARIOUS BASES IN LIBERTY
Collect data on various bases in Liberty. Contact Junkers and Liberty Rogues in order to determine the status of any base projects that they have undertaken in Liberty. Contact Bazard base near Mactan and find out its status, as well as determine the status of Umbris complex in Inverness. We want to know primarily how any of these bases can benefit us, primarily what commodities could they buy from us and what could we buy from them. We also want to know about what types of equipment they might be able to produce for us.
Phase 1: San Juan
Location: Puerto Rico, Sector 4B (Cerro la Puenta's orbit)
Affiliation: The Junker's Congress / semi-lawful
Security: restricted docking / hostile
Level: Four
Description: The base is built inside the Puerto Rican Rift. Strong radiation emitted by the neutron star is acting as a natural defence mechanism, as no besieging fleet could survive long enough to destroy the base inside the rift. We are currently negotiating access to the base. We believe that it is both a storage and a production facility. It might prove to be a good spot to sell silver ore acquired in Humboldt and maybe we can also loan some of its production facilities in order to construct high-technology equipment.
Location: Puerto Rico, Sector 3F (near Texas jumphole)
Affiliation: The Junker's Congress / semi-lawful
Security: restricted docking / friendly
Level: One
Description: La Fortaleza is a newly started project that is most likely aiming to became a battle-station guarding entrance to the system from Texas. Most likely the Junker's Congress wants to effectively tax all silver ore trade going through their system. This battle station should not really affect us in any significant way.
Phase 3: Lukenbach Station
Location: Texas, Sector 6C (inside Grande Negra debris field)
Affiliation: Independent Junkers / semi-lawful
Security: restricted docking / friendly
Level: Three
Description: Lukenbach Station is a base built and operated by a group of independent Junkers. Its main aim is to serve as a storage facility for premium scrap. Additionally, the base possesses a dock module factory. The base is officially registered and regularly pays its contributions to the Liberty Government. Furthermore, as we were informed, the base administrator has also came to terms with the Liberty Rogues by paying them off and occasionally providing dock modules.
Phase 4: Bazard Commodities & Equipment
Location: Magellan, Sector 4C (near Mactan)
Affiliation: independent / unlawful
Security: unrestricted docking / neutral
Level: Two
Description: The base is maintained by a group of independent pirates and smugglers of various origins, including Liberty Rogues, Outcasts and even Lane Hackers. The base has operational shield and four storage containers. Its main purpose is to provide a trans-shipment facility for local pirates and smugglers, similarly to Reppu Harbor. Besides intercepted cargo it is also buying basic supplies. Its administrator is eager to work with the Lane Hackers and it might be prudent to use it as a storage facility. Also, the group proved to be organised enough to build and maintain a base while defying Bretonia government.
Location: Inverness, Sector 3C (Planet Forres' orbit)
Affiliation: independent / lawful
Security: unrestricted docking / neutral
Level: Four
Description: Umbris Research Complex, supposedly a freeport, is a base built and operated primarily by the Interspace Commerce. Its administrator and chief scientist, an individual called dr Ray D'Inverno is nothing more than a corporate puppet. Several months ago we were contacted by Mollies who first spotted the base. Several groups tried to mount an attack on the base, however it did not succeed. Currently the base is fully developed, it posses a shield generator, two weapon platforms and factories able to produce cloaking devices, jump drives and hyperspace survey modules. The base is relying on the Interspace Commerce for basic base supplies as well as production materials.
