Mission briefing

I have dire news, <Pilot>. One of our deadspace asteroid belts in <System> has been infested by rogue drones! We lost contact with the miners working there a few days ago, after they had reported sightings of mysterious craft nearby. Our reconnaissance team then confirmed our suspicions, the entire belt has been infested with those pests. Not only that but they have already erected a Drone Silo there, which the drones often use as the first building block for an actual Drone Hive. We need to act fast before they manage to grow in numbers, <Character>. Your job is to see to it that their silo is completely destroyed. I'll send in ships later to clean up the mess. However I warn you, the drones roaming the belt will no doubt all come to aid their silo once it is attacked, so it would be advisable to try and split them up and clear out the guards before you attempt to finish your objectives.
