ExpandMission briefing

Okay, the exploration team is away. If the Serpentis eggheads are right, they should arrive in Fountain securely and in record time. Speak of the devil. I'm getting a report that one of our shipments coming back from Fountain just got hit by Guristas. It's always something. There's a salvage crew nearby that can pick up the tech, but they aren't equipped to handle Guristas. If you clear out the Guristas, I can send in the recovery team. As always you'll be well paid. Relics of Past Greatness The Jove left Curse behind long ago. Their ruins in the form of stations and forgotten outposts. Centuries later the Angel Cartel moved. The Angels have managed to scavenge a good deal of information from these Jovian relics. This is most obviously reflected in Angel ships, which bear striking designs and unique capabilities. But the Cartel has yet to understand more than a fraction of the old Jovian technologies. Even the Serpentis, whose research capabilities surpass the Cartel's by leaps and bounds, have great difficulty even understanding the principles of Jovian engineering.
