We just received an incoming transmission from one of our personnel convoys traveling through <SystemName>. 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, <CharacterName>.

Choice of aggro: shoot the shield before the last group spawns, and you will only have aggro from group 2 until the shield dies (then groups 6+7 join in); alternatively, wait until after the last group spawned before shooting the shield for full stage aggro and safe drone usage.

Note:
To destroy the "Powerful EM Forcefield", add Entity --> Large Collidable Structure to your overview. Target lock the shield, and open fire.

Structures:
Lesser Drone Hive contains objective and may also contain 1 alloy Towers may drop ammo Other structures have no loot

Asteroids:
Veldspar - 4 x 90,000; 1 x 50,000
