Cargo Ship Tangier Attacked!

[Gus Givens]

The 'Next Step' Project has been dealt a major blow. 32 scientists and engineers were tasked to investigate the feasibility of 'settlements' in the Expanse. Their goal was to see if the Expanse and its many 'eccentricities' would allow for settlements to be deployed safely and operate within nominal settings in the Expanse.

The Cargo Ship 'Tangier' was destined to arrive in the Expanse and drop off her expensive and much needed cargo to the 'Next Step' Project when she was attacked by Pirates en-route.

The attack was poorly planned and the cargo vessel was hit just as she entered the Jump Gate system. Similar to an event that led to the scattering of many 1000 DCF fragments across the known Galaxies.

Those cargo crates not destroyed in the attack on the Tangier have been scattered throughout the Jump Gate systems. It is imperative that the precious cargo be returned and Gal-Fed has asked Lt Lutac Quire to arrange collection of these crates at Port Ross in Franklyn.

Gal-Fed have set a reward on each crate and also issued promissory notes of XP when the contract is completed. For now Project 'Next Step' is on hold and cannot continue till the precious cargo is returned.
