We just received an incoming transmission from one of our personnel convoys traveling through <System>. They reported that they were under attack by unidentified craft which refused to reply to their attempts at communication. Soon afterwards the transmission was cut off, and we haven't heard from them since.

Normally I would send a reconnaissance mission to the last known location of the convoy and scout the area before attempting any further action, but this situation is different. The convoy that was destroyed was carrying a very valuable artifact which must be retrieved at all cost. It is sealed in a booby-trapped special delivery package. I require you to head out there and look for it, if fortune shines on us today then the attacker and our artifact will still be close by. Do this for me and you shall be rewarded, <Pilot>.
