Registered Contract: FS-GD-06-01

PLANETARY DETAILS:
A once-prosperous world ravaged by the Succession Wars, Tancredi IV remains on the edge of rebound. It was first surveyed in 2334, but due to a fluke of bureaucracy that accidentally buried Tancredi?s survey report for decades, the first colonists did not land until 2377. To their surprise, the colonists found that the survey report was far too conservative; the world had large reserves of fresh water and, despite its lone continent, Jaipur, Tancredi?s lush landscape was more than capable of producing large agricultural yields. It wasn?t long before the colonists discovered their new homeworld?s mineral and ore bounty, which they used to leverage their world into an industrial giant within two decades?time?and ultimately the capital of the Draconis March during the Five Princes era.
Like far too many other prosperous worlds, Tancredi IV suffered dearly during the Succession Wars. The First Succession War saw the destruction of the majority of the world?s industry, while the Second and Third Succession Wars brought battles to the farms and ranches.
During the Combine?s decade-long occupation of the world, most of Tancredi?s agricultural output was taken as the spoils of war, leaving the majority of the world?s population hungry, and the Combine further damaged Tancredi?s ability to produce food when they retreated from the planet.
Since Tancredi?s liberation in 3023, the Federated Suns has done what it could to restore the world to what it once was. After years of near famine, food production is slowly coming around. Industry remains the key to Tancredi?s economy, though only because many manufacturers followed the example set by Precision Weaponry, which rebuilt its oft-ravaged factory underground.
As of 3076, the planet is once again to feed itself, and has even begun small exports of foodstuffs.  However, this restoration has paled in the eyes of many Tancredians to the arrival of Clan Snow Raven in the nearby Outworlds Alliance.

EMPLOYER SITUATION REPORT:
Over the last few months, an unknown band of raiders has repeatedly hit Tancredi and nearby rimward Davion systems.  Using clan 'mechs, mostly of a second-line nature, the raiders bear no markings, and have left behind no identifying equipment.  The 11th Avalon Hussars have managed to keep the raiders away from the main Precision Weaponry plant, but are due to rotate out soon, and a replacement unit has yet to be designated.  Rather than wait on the AFFS to fill the slot, Precision executives have decided to beef up their own security forces by hiring mercenary troops.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
1) Defend the Precision Weaponry main weapons plant from attack..

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
1) Identify the raiders through any means necessary.
