For the Troops is a 3 part level 1 mission chain offered by Distribution division agents. It consists of 3 courier missions.

For the Troops - Food for Fun (1 of 3)

Level 1
Type Courier
Objective Pick up and deliver 1x Crates of Frozen Food (40  m3)
Mission briefing
Even with the best of equipment and space superiority, any long-term military engagement has to rely on ground and station personnel. And personnel are only as reliable as their morale. I won't lie to you, the morale of our soldiers could be better.

To fix this, a number of the mega-corporations have joined together to produce SPLET—the State Personnel Life Enrichment Tour. This program will tour to various parts of the State, providing entertainment and other morale services for our soldiers.

The first thing we need is food, and there are crates of frozen food waiting not too far from here. Bring the food here so our chefs can start to figure out how to stretch it into an appropriately festive-- but still economical-- dish.

Why is morale faltering?
The problem is information networks. Our soldiers are well cared for and would normally be content, but they find that pictures and holoreels all tend to be from Gallente producers. They see the decadence and excess of our enemies. Our men are revolted by the excess of the Gallente, yes, but there is jealousy among them as well. And this jealousy is eating away at the core of our efforts.

For the Troops - Error of Comedy (2 of 3)

Level 1
Type Courier
Objective Pick up and deliver 1x Prop Comedian (3  m3)
Mission briefing
No, the State cannot afford the lofty prices of professional entertainers of such caliber. We have booked far worse, I'm afraid.

There is a man awaiting pick-up at a nearby station-- I'll upload the coordinates to your NeoCom. The man is a comedian of a specialized sort. You‘ll know him when you see him. Bring him back here for me.

Why this guy?
According to recent studies, the typical foot soldier's sense of humor tends towards the ironic, with a particular fondness for satire and gallows humor. Yet to hear Command tell it, these types of humor are the most dangerous to morale. As a result, most government-sponsored entertainment is consciously light-hearted, even if nobody really enjoys it.

For the Troops - Final Negotiations (3 of 3)

Level 1
Type Courier
Objective Pick up and deliver 1x Prostitute (1  m3)
Mission briefing
Originally, we were going to be hiring the best dancers in Caldari space. It was to be a dazzling performance, with custom arranged music and specially choreographed numbers. It would have been a show both tantalizing and tasteful. But such things are expensive.

We found the best cost-effective solution by working with NOH's bathhouses. Traveling with SPLET will be a "companion army." We are close to completing the contracts. All that is left is a final round of...negotiation by the SPLET chairman.

Pick up the NOH prostitute-- I'll upload the station address to your NeoCom-- and return her here. After this last mission, I believe the program will be ready to launch.

NOH
The Nugoeihuvi Corporation, or NOH, is the only Caldari mega-corporation that has focused on the entertainment industry. They have always been suspected of strong ties to the Caldari underworld, mainly because many of their products cater to that social element or are on the borderline of legality.
