Mission briefing

Recent reports from the <Faction Intelligence Office> give us reason to believe that the UDI terrorist organization has begun setting up outposts in the names of front corporations at deadspace forward points within our sovereign space, with the intention of spying on <Faction> corporations. I've just gotten word that there's one such suspected outpost in this system. The problem is that we cannot be fully sure whether the outpost in question is indeed a UDI hive. Obviously this means we can't go in flying our own banner, so non-contracted free agents such as yourself will be of paramount importance in the staging of preliminary operations. True, it is a harsh risk to take, attacking installations that haven't been absolutely proven to be hostile, but the UDI simply present too much of a threat for us to have the luxury of dilly-dallying. Should you choose to accept this mission, I will upload this outpost's coordinates to your Neocom. Your primary target will be a subspace data miner thought to have been picking up on our communications frequencies. Once it is destroyed, report back to us and we will send in another team for the next stage of the operation. You will probably encounter some mercenary resistance in the area. Orders are to kill on sight, and refrain from any and all communication that may uncover your involvement with us. Should you be captured, we will disavow any knowledge of your actions.
