Mission 45: The Beast of Anapepe Station

Several years ago, Black Star execs felt that the market needed them to ‘create the perfect weapon’ and the task was allocated to a research team at Anapepe orbital lab.  Some genius there decided to fulfil this objective by combining cutting-edge augmetic implants with a merg ‘volunteer’ designated as Experiment 6-6. This all went about as well as could be expected. What remained of the security team eventually managed to subdue Experiment 6-6 before shoving it into a hibernation chamber for future study. Anapepe station was repaired, the remains of the old research group were mopped up, a new team moved in, and the lab continued its steady orbit around an ice giant out on the frontier. Life went back to normal, and Experiment 6-6 slept away the years until yesterday, when the station had the misfortune to cross the path of a Purge scout ship. In the chaos that followed the arrival of Purge boarders, the beast got free, and the station’s survivors are now facing the Purge and a rampaging merg. Black Star regional decided it would be better not to bother head office with the news, as it would look bad on the quarterly return. They decided to scout around for some expendable Traders to clean up for them instead, which is where you come in.

Sometimes there is good money to be had by cleaning up after the big corporations. If you can survive the Purge, and a rampaging merg, then you should net enough cash to keep the engines running for a decent stretch.

Expansions Required: Yamato Crew for the mission. Galactic Corps and / or Wanted: Dead or Alive for consequences.
