01-01-4620 BON VOYAGE

You are about to embark on your first mission. In your bank account you will find the amount of 50,000 monetary units (MU). This money is to be spent training your crew, configuring your ship, and purchasing any necessary materials.

Of course you may wish to leave some portion of this in the bank. At this stage of the operation our primary goal is to gather information. Consequently, your objectives are –


1. Seek out and explore strange new worlds.
2. Boldly go where no man has gone before.
3. Establish contact with any sentients.
4. Capture and bring back non-sentient life forms.
5. Record alien life form data.
6. Bring back alien artifacts.
7. Bring back any valuable minerals (including endurium).
8. Keep from getting brutally killed.

We have little information to offer concerning what you might find. We suggest, however, that you avoid the area of space around the coordinates 135,84 since that is where we lost contact with two of our earlier ships.

Scout reports indicate a high density of minerals in the mountainous regions of the innermost planet of our system.

Further, we have found information that leads us to believe that there may be some ruins of the old empire at coordinates 17N x 162E on the second planet of the neighboring K-class system.

We have also received some indication of alien activity in the system 175,94. Good luck, and a safe return.
