Level 2 Storyline
Type Courier
Objective Deliver 32 x Crate of Portable Emergency Heating Units (320.0 m3)
Ship suggestion Frigate
Mission briefing
A severe accident has occurred on another station, <Pilot>; they suffered a freak blowout in primary life-support and the station's environmental control shut down entirely. No, don't panic, they stabilized the atmosphere as soon as they could, so the people on the station won't asphyxiate. But the internal heating units have yet to be replaced. People are bundling up as their heat bleeds out – the external insulation is some protection, but it's not enough.

To help out, we've put together as many portable emergency heating units as we could find on such short notice. Take them over to <Station>, and quickly!

Lore bblurn; Station-Side Survival
The most vital systems on a space station or starship, life-support covers everything from atmosphere generation and recycling to environmental control to the recycling of drinking and pumping water. Originally a series of tanks containing specialized filters, as residence in space extended from long-term to lifetimes, advances in bioengineering developed hydroponics systems for stations which both produce and recycle air and water efficiently. Environmental control, which cycles water and air through the station and maintains an even internal temperature despite the cold of space outside nibbling at the edges, runs off the same generator as the internal electrical circuits. External electrical devices, such as guide-lights, shielding and containment fields, security systems and communications, run from separate generators with extensive backup arrays.
