From the introduction: An allied HQ [Designation: FURTHERMORE], operating in the neighboring sector of the frontier, has requested assistance. Our allies have begun to expand FURTHERMORE’s sphere of influence by building colonies, but the colony in the Dahvil System has come under attack by a rogue fleet. The exact nature and complete makeup of the rogue fleet is not clear, but its Transit-capable vessels have been attacking supply convoys and its biologics have been raiding the colony itself. They have been classified as pirates.
