Mission briefing

Internal Security surveillance spotted a small team of Thukker mercenaries in <System>, probably up to no good. They're wanted men, and need to be taken care of. I would ask you to bring them in for trial but that really isn't necessary, the exception being their captain. I want him taken alive and brought to me. We'd like to figure out exactly what they've been up to. Your objectives in this mission are not as simple as they sound, however. We haven't been able to locate their captain's hideout yet. but we expect him to show up if you warp to some of his minions who are holed up in a small asteroid belt in <System>. So I suggest you destroy the first group of mercenaries you encounter as fast as you can, before more reinforcements arrive, or you'll have a heck of a battle on your hands.

Part 2

Level	2
Type	Courier
Objective	Bring 1x DNA Sample (0.1 m3) to destination station
Ship suggestion	Shuttle or fast frigate

Mission briefing

I'd like to do some more investigating on the Thukker mercenary incident. It would help a great deal if we knew the true identity of the pilot you captured, but to do that I need professional help, since our database here has very limited records of Thukker citizens. I know of a private investigator residing in <station> who might be able to identify the scoundrel. Bring a DNA sample taken from his body to this acquaintance of mine and we'll see what he comes up with.

Warning: Destination may be in a LOWSEC system.

Faction	Minmatar Republic
Best damage to deal	Ex Kin
Damage to resist	Ex Kin
Ship suggestion	Cruiser
Standing loss	Minmatar Republic (-0.24 for killing ships)

Mission briefing

As I said earlier, something dire has come up. One of our biggest research outposts in <System> has been attacked. Its location is a secret, so someone must have been snooping around; I'm gonna take a shot and guess that it was those Thukker mercs you took care of. We've identified the attackers as agents of the Minmatar-Gallente alliance. They've certainly got balls if they've come this far into our territory, I'll give them that. But they must be eliminated before they board the outpost. We'll destroy it before we allow them to get their filthy hands on the stuff our scientists have been researching there. From the data I've received, there is a large force of Minmatar fighters at the doorstep of our research outpost already, fighting their way in. We are expecting reinforcements to arrive soon, as we spotted two separate groups of Republic ships heading their way already. So you must hurry before the reinforcements arrive, or you'll never be able to take them out.
