Diligent shipping agents,

Your Kingdom needs you. Some of you might still proudly call Planet Leeds a home, with faith, while some might be avoiding its mention due to shame or sadness.
From today, all of you have a chance to help the noble fighters keep it in our rightful hold. They are resisting, but also losing men every day. In order to maintain the front lines, they must receive fresh men and wounded ones must be taken off the planet. That is where the Realm needs your mighty transport ships.
The operation has been dubbed Valletta. Its aim is to provide 50,000 fresh marines to bolster the defenses of Planet Leeds. You will find the synopsis below.
Long live Queen Carina the First.

1) Take the marines off at the Battleship Suffolk in the New London System. You will be charged with a ‎£500 fee.
2) You may use transport-class ships, but in that case necessarily have a freighter with you. Only freighter-class ships and smaller can perform planetary landing, as the Gallic Royal Navy is still holding the docking ring under their control.
3) Necessarily use ships with armour strength multiplied by at least 2.5. Be sure to have a shield generator and all the weapon slots used. Do not use ships with less than 5 gun/turret slots total.
3) Necessarily be escorted by at least one ship, that ship being either: a fighter, a bomber, a gunboat or a capital ship. This applies only for the Leeds System.
4) Drop the marines off on Planet Leeds. You will receive a payment of £2607 for each marine delivered. The shuttle(s) will take additional 20% of the total profit. An Armed Forces satellite will direct you where to land.
5) Provide evidence of a successful shipment, and you will be awarded with additional ‎£1,000 by the BAF|Armoury for every marine. Submit the evidence using this frequency. If your escort is successful and submits proof of that as well, the named account will receive a reward of ‎£1,000,000. Again, the shuttle(s) receive additional 20% of the total amount.
6) You may save whatever you can from the war-torn planet on the way back.

Progress:

37,155/50,000 Marines

Yours sincerely,.....................................................

Admiral George R. Hall OBE
