Registered Contract: FS-OR-04-01

PLANETARY DETAILS:
[3025] Originally an independent colony within the Capellan Zone, Ares is a commercial free port with many factories and supported by local exemptions from standard import duties. It is one of the few truly prosperous small worlds in the Confederation.

Ares is most often remembered as the site of the famous peace conventions organized by Aleisha Liao. The savage campaigns fought in the Tintavel system in 2412, between the Free Worlds League and the Capellan Confederation, caused massive loss of civilian life. Appalled at this, Chancellor Aleisha Liao, spent months drafting an 80-page document describing conditions for "civilized warfare," rules intended to spare civilians from the horrors of unlimited war. Aleisha dispatched copies of her work to the leaders of all the warring realms, but expected only a lukewarm response. Instead, most of the leaders immediately communicated their wholehearted agreement.

Encouraged by the response, Aleisha immediately suggested a summit meeting on the Capellan world of Ares to further discuss the document. After much negotiation, the Ares Conventions were signed in the Grand Hall of the city of New Olympia on June 13, 2413.

Today, ironically, Ares maintains one of the few Capellan 'Mech producing centers left in existence.

[3030] Though the Ares factories are still rebuilding from the devastation of the Forth Succession War, it is on Ares that the Capellans have chosen to experiment with developing a stable, triple-strength myomer.

The destruction of most of the Quikscell Company's component lines at their Ares plant has actually led to their putting out a higher-quality product. Quikscell has always been known to use cheap parts; now that it is little more than an assembly plant, it is forced to rely on components shipped in from more conscientious firms.

EMPLOYER SITUATION REPORT:
The situation on Ares is the same as always since being conquered by Davion forces: Capellan nationals and various guerilla entities continue to plague the Davion forces on planet, with the Davions having to use brutal enforcement techniques and martial law to keep the decidedly Pro-Capellan population in line.

Recently, Davion forces made major pushes against certain, high profile Pro-Capellan groups, making total failures all the way to total successes depending on the group.

However, word finally reached the Confederation that Scientist Ardan Timothy and some of his associates are still alive and active on Ares. Timothy and his associates are/were employees of  Began Industries' and were working on the Triple Strength Myomer production facility on planet. During the evacuation of Ares by Capellan forces, many of the plant's leading scientists were pulled off planet save a few, including Timothy. While a the Bergan plant is being rebuilt deeper in Confederation space, the blueprints and other schematics Timothy is caring would be a great help in accelerating the process of rebuilding on [planet's name left out due to security concerns].

Extra information will be provided to the unit upon successful bid for the contract.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
1) Secure Ardan Timothy and his associates for extraction off planet.
2) Resupply various guerilla factions on Ares while picking up Timothy.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
1) Help/Single-handedly Destroy or Critically Damage the remaining Earthwerk's Limited Dropship plant
2) Help/Single-handedly Destroy or Critically Damage the remaining Bergan Industries' facility.
3) Help/Single-handedly Destroy or Criticall Damage the remaining portions of the Quikscell Industries facility.
